23 hours ago23 hr It's unfair to single out Disney, should put all the streaming services. Start buying physical media, also physical retro games. Once you own it, you own it. I was dumb and wasted a lot of money on digital media where you're just paying for the license. You can lose it all if their servers go down or bankrupt, plus they can edit the media without your consent.

17 hours ago17 hr @Matt! - I just finished Weapons...SPOILERS -SpoilerI didn’t know exactly what I was expecting, but whatever it was, this movie missed the mark. There were a few moments I almost enjoyed, but they were drowned out by one glaring flaw: leaving one boy behind while the others vanished. From the opening scenes, it was painfully obvious he was “the reason” or somehow central to the whole mess, which made the so-called mystery feel flat and predictable. Ten minutes in, I had the plot figured out with no Googling required. I mean the random tagging of the word WITCH on the car wasn't a dead give away or anything. Bitch would of helped to keep the secret a little longer, but nope, we got a random WITCH. The script leaned hard on supernatural cliches but never committed to a clear direction. It wasn’t a spirit as there wasn’t enough eerie buildup or unsettling music to sell that. It wasn’t a slasher, no vampires, no zombies. That left a witch, or something vaguely witch like, conveniently tied to the remaining kid. Toss in a quirky, determined teacher trying to piece it all together, and the whole thing felt like a paint by numbers genre mashup.Some scenes were just laughably implausible. The teacher sleeping through a woman standing outside her car, then climbing in to cut her hair without waking her? lol um, no. And then the gas station attack the next day? Way too on the nose that magic was at play.The father searching for his son Matthew, only reinforced the magical angle with some of his scenes, but they lacked depth. The jump scares were weak, and the “aunt”? It felt like someone tried to channel Hocus Pocus but forgot to bring the charm. To quote it directly: “We must find the book, brew the potion, and suck the lives out of the children of Salem before sunrise. Otherwise it's curtains. We evaporate! We cease to exist!…” Same vibes, worded differently. What could’ve been an intriguing concept got buried under boring tropes and strange pacing. At times, it felt like I was almost watching two different movies. I honestly don’t understand the hype.

How tf did you figure out the plot in 10 minutes? It took me half the movie just to figure out the title. But yeah, that’s kinda what I liked about it, the weird mashup and mystery vibe. Messy for sure, but it’s supposed to feel a little unhinged.
8 hours ago8 hr I don’t agree with a lot of what he says, but this one is spot on. They’re f****** c-o-m-e-d-i-a-n-s.

I’ve always had a knack for spotting connections, in people, places, and things. It’s what I studied in university, and it’s central to my work in behavioral analysis. The horror genre hasn’t offered anything truly original in ages :( It wasn't a bad movie, and I might have enjoyed it a little more had there not been so much hyper surrounding it. I expected more and was let down.

With your background, you’re probably spotting patterns faster than the average horror enjoyer, especially if you’re in full overanalyzer mode from the get-go. I saw the movie in a theater, so I was mostly focusing on not having a heart attack (they used a sick amount of bass in the scary parts) and my gay bacons.
8 minutes ago8 min One dead, two critical - all detainees. No ICE agents were injured. Yet somehow this is being labeled an "attack on ICE" because one bullet had "ANTI-ICE" scribbled on it in blue marker.
