Another cool idea that I know will never happen: recruit a diverse group of different filmmakers, all with completely different sensibilities and takes on what Freddy Krueger can or should be, and do an anthology film.

This is an impressive edit, but I feel like Freddy's origin story is by far the least interesting and least cinematic thing about him, and I think it's most effective when presented as a sort of vague, campfire-esque, urban legend-y oral history.

I mean, it's all about execution, right? The questions of who is directing, who is writing, what are the artistic goals of the project, etc., they matter here.

I can vibe on this.

Man, that's real. Speaking from personal experience, telling kids the truth about life and death is important—but gut-wrenchingly hard—work.

God forbid kids learn that not everything has a happy ending! God forbid kids learn how to process grief themselves, instead of having the movie process it for them and say "Don't worry!! Everything is okay! It was sad before but it's happy now!"

I love Sonic 2, so I won't begrudge anyone for picking it over S3&K. But I do want to challenge the growing consensus that Sonic 2 is the inherently superior game.

Boogie Nights as an HBO or AMC series. The movie itself already feels like a highlight real from the a six season television masterpiece.

The original Fright Night (1985). To me, that movie defines an entire subgenre of horror that, sadly, doesn't seem to really exist outside of that movie, which is popcorn horror.

I need to see this, but I am busy tomorrow night! What do I do? Help me internet!

I forgot about Lair of the White Worm! I love Lair of the White Worm.

Yes, and Bride was a special case, because the original Frankenstein was not included, despite being the far superior film to Dracula. I suppose Bride was a sort of compromise solution that allowed them both to be represented (though Bride certainly merits inclusion on its own).

I have no beef with They Live, but it's plainly not a horror movie, and it's inclusion on this list speaks volumes about how dire the state of horror film was in 1988.

OH THANK GOD

As a huge, unapologetic Link to the Past fanboy, I kind of hated Link Between Worlds. I was able to actually get through it, which is more than I can say about Skyward Sword, but the "wall-crawling" mechanic (easily the best thing about the game) was woefully underdeveloped, the dungeons felt weirdly short, and the…

I hope this is good. I've long considered myself a Zelda fan, but I realized the other day that I haven't loved a single new Zelda game since Wind Waker, and that was nearly 15 years ago.

Wow! An article considering the gender politics of Disney princess films that actually has… nuance? Instead of cherry-picking all the ways in which they are horrible and sexist and poisonous to young girls, or glossing over any and all problems in order to protect our collective nostalgia??

You're almost on the right track here.

Yeah this. I think Bruce's boycott is exactly the right move for a cis celebrity of his stature to be making (for all the reasons listed here), and Laura's refusal to be scared away is exactly the right move (though scarier and riskier for her than The Boss's is for him) for a trans celebrity of her status.

Oh, didn't know that! Thanks!
