Plenty of people legitimately enjoy both of those things.

I will say that the last movie to creep me out as much as this one was Inland Empire.

To be fair, the movie kind of forced their hand on this.

Yeah, if your yardstick for slow and uneventful is The Babadook, run far away from this.

Yeah, it’s all about the atmosphere. What little plot exists is easy enough to suss out, but it’s absolutely not the focus at all.

Speaking as someone who loves the movie, this doesn’t really have a narrative. I mean, it technically does, but it’s absolutely paper-thin and isn’t what you’re here for.

It’s a fantastic movie if you’re on its wavelength, and a goofy never-ending bore if you’re not. I’m fully on board with it and think all the “scariest movie ever” hype has something to it (I certainly can’t remember the last time a film made me feel such bone-deep dread), but it isn’t hard to imagine someone getting…

It can be homophobic (“oh, we know you’re gay, we’ve seen your music collection”), but family and close friends tend to notice a lot and teenagers aren’t as sly as they think they are. Sometimes it’s really just a case of noticing all those sideways glances.

Plenty of shitty people own neat things, but most of them have the sense to shut the fuck up and not play with their company like a cat with a toy mouse. Musk can own the damn thing, just get someone else to run it so Twitter’s stupidity can go back to being provided by the users rather than the platform itself.

Nobody questioned why he made Terminator 2 after the first one was a culture-defining success and Arnie became the biggest action star of the decade, and nobody questioned why he made a movie about one of the most notable disasters in the past century. Their respective statuses as the most expensive films ever made…

I agree in general, but Flanagan has a knack for nailing King’s tone. And while his usual “the real journey was the friends we made along the way” shtick gets increasingly tired with each iteration, it’s a natural fit for The Dark Tower.

You seem really convinced that the only available actions regarding an issue in an employee/employer relationship are “ignore it” and “sue them.”

So you’re upset that an interview with an actor is focusing on the actor’s side of things?

Wow, it did so poorly that it’s due to become another studio’s biggest flop? That’s some serious collateral damage.

a weak chuckle that didn’t need repeating after the first gag

More than a few people have noted that a lot of streaming miniseries on Disney+/Netflix/etc are structured more like incredibly long movies than a real series. Are those “movies” or are they TV shows?

He was mostly ripping Kanye for being dumb enough to say the quiet part out loud.

The line ‘when it’s black it’s a gang, and when it’s italians, it’s the mob, and when it’s jews, it’s a coincidence’ is brilliant in it’s structure.

The movies stopped having anything to do with the books (barring a name here or there) by the mid 70s, outside of Casino Royale which stood out for how much of an anomaly it was amidst everything else.
