I edited this look at three Mary-Kate & Ashley shorts from my friends @allisonpregler and @phelous - which required watching more MK&A than medically advisable and took some rather dark turns...

Honestly, fuck Channel Awesome; but I have to admit that I still do the thing where I pump both fists in the air and shout "SYMBOLISM!" when there's a particularly obvious use of it in a bad movie.

Bad Movie Beatdown: Total Recall (2012) (REVIEW)

THE UNINVITED dir. Lewis Allen, 1944

abc really said let’s go ahead and make wikipedia late night deep diving Buck who’s trying to learn all he can about current hyperfixation canon and I love it here so much

I’m thinking about Mahito’s great great uncle maintaining and preserving a peaceful and beautiful thing in a way that to an outside observer looks tedious and unimportant, hoping to pass the duty off to a successor but ultimately he cannot find one and dies with it.

I’m thinking about the specificity of the blocks being made and handled with care, not with malice or ill intent.

I’m thinking about Hayao Miyazaki, a bastion of beautiful 2d hand drawn animation who refuses to retire.

I’m thinking about a world where animation is so rarely made with love over profit and efficiency.

I’m thinking about how, though the old man didn’t see it, the next generation still hangs onto a piece of that beautiful, tedious thing and takes it with them because it feels important.

I’m thinking about Mahito being told he should forget, but no. He shouldn’t.

now i’m thinking about how men are like “hmm. i don’t get it” in regards to Barbie and how women spend their whole lives listening to men’s stories and learning how to relate to them abstractly because they’re not made for them. now the roles are reversed and instead of men being willing to find themselves in a story about women and motherhood and daughterhood, they shut down because they’re not forced to empathize the way women are.

so just know, I'm healing / even though it don't feel like it

Halloweentown is back - and it's also grey, which so isn't its colour, let's be honest. Allison Pregler and Phelous look at Halloweentown II: Kalabar's Revenge on Movie Nights, which I edited!

"and then you look at it, and it looks... otherworldly. this is denis. he just creates this shape. it's not perfect. it's timeless. it reminds me of... do you remember arrival? you know those big alien creatures? that's the shape." — rebecca ferguson in an interview with hollywood insider

Bad Movie Beatdown: Moon 44 (REVIEW)

[not-so-rosyyy]

CHALLENGERS (2024, dir. Luca Guadagnino) is a film that doesn't root for any of its three main characters and isn't concerned about who gets to win in the end. it's written and shot like a long tennis rally that doesn't let up; nobody is willing to drop the ball, but everybody's anticipating the moment it finally happens. it's obsessed with the back-and-forth while simultaneously desperate for a release, and good god does every character get to have theirs in the end.
