I'M SO GLAD THAT I CAN DO THIS MOVIE NOW.

Okay, I could seriously write a WHOLE ESSAY about how much I love this movie and why. In fact, I have done that before on other social media, but I will spare you from the immense texts here.

Similarly to The Brave Little Toaster and Cars, though a little later on and more indirectly (because at that age, I wasn't allowed to watch it, due to the inappropriate scenes - so I had only looked at fragments of the movie at first), this movie has been part of my childhood.

And The Lift is undoubtedly the best thing the Dutch have made. (I'm Dutch, by the way, so I'm very proud of this.) Thank you, Dick Maas.

Character: homicidal elevator(s?)

Movie: The Lift (1983)

If I had to change anything about this movie, I'd remove the inappropriate scenes (because it delayed the time when I saw this movie start to finish and it really wasn't necessary for the movie's storyline anyway), I'd only let the middle one actually kill people (the right one suddenly killed a person, too, but I liked the middle one being the sole culprit better - it was more menacing somehow) and that first group of people? They should have died! Then my dear elevator would have had a higher kill count than some human killers in movies! I'd be so proud of it... *wipes away a tear

By the way, both this movie and Christine were made in 1983.

1983 must have been the year of absolute brilliance.

CW: Lift Horror. Imo, if you're not into lift horror, don't watch this clip, or the horror film The Lift.

in times like these at least i have the character

[clonerightsagenda]

I was rambling on the issue of museums and human remains and how certain populations are more likely to have their bodies put on display to be gawked at and then went "well I guess the Pompeii casts were of Europeans. there are bones in there right?" and Googled it to make sure, at which point I confirmed that yes there are bones in there, but more interestingly DNA testing revealed that a cast of an adult holding a child everyone assumed was a mother and child were, in fact, a man and a kid entirely unrelated to him. Honestly that's more moving to me. Maybe they were connected in a way other than blood, but maybe a stranger saw a child when the world was ending and thought the one thing he could do was hold them.

| NLRP #37 | Favourite inanimate object characters

Last week, while looking for more entries, I came across this Reddit post that asked what our favorite character is who's a sentient object and of course, I had to reply to a question like that. |B)

I got way too many favourites in this catagory of characters. I eventually decided to pick two of the most obscure The Brave Little Toaster characters: the stove that appeared in the junk shop and the entertainment complex in Rob's mother's house. Each of those two are "special" to me in their own funny way. I also chose Grem from Cars (though there are MANY other Cars characters I love, too). And the elevator from The Lift (that's why the movie is in my top 3 favourite horror movies, obviously). Later, I decided to further expand that list with Electrode and Klinklang. I've been downright OBSESSED with all of these characters. Naturally, all of these (except the Pokémon) are from media that are my favourite media as well.

To give them some recognition and appreciation, I thought I'd share that list with you guys here, too. Now I really want to know who y'all's favourites are, so if you want, do let me know in the comments. :D

ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX (The Brave Little Toaster)
