We believe spirits are in every single thing. In houses, in forests, in mountains, in trees in rice fields. Every area has spirits. All of them.

How are we still making horror movies where the Christians are the good guys? WHY ARE WE STILL MAKING HORROR MOVIES WHERE THE CHRISTIANS ARE THE GOOD GUYS???

someone: h-

me: so I genuinely think size is unexplored in the media, not just as a g/t fan wanting content, but as a writer seeing the missed creativity potential. Size dynamics could add new conflicts, opening up new plots, fitting in romance, family, thriller, adventure, literally any genre. It’s such a diverse trope that it can be applied to any typical narrative - but still relatively untouched in popular media to the point where any g/t ideas deeper than surface level size difference would be entirely new ideas in the world of media. Horror is veering more into lovecraftian these days - size would perfectly compliment that. Romance needs new obstacles for two lovers to overcome - a size difference would be a new twist. Special and practical effects have far surpassed the point needed for size movies - look at Lord of the Rings, or Ant-man. It’s an untapped goldmine, and in this essay I will

You all know I love and adore Kara but that part in Zlatko when Alice trips while running out of the house and Kara proceeds to help her up but then tells her to run, instead of, you know, getting up to keep running was so dumb

For research purposes can we get Max in one of those 80s coach outfits? (Red short shorts and very tight white tee)

-🧶

This is what I’ve become. (/lh)

Nah but really I love 80s mens outfits. Glenn in Nightmare on Elm was my first foray into it and I hate that today’s culture will have to change a lot until we can truly bring it back into the mainstream.

When there's a show that has lots of combat but little to no killing, there's usually a reason for that. I don't just mean the target audience being children (which is a stupid claim anyway, kids can handle way more shit than adults give them credit for), I mean a Watsonian explanation

Aang doesn't kill because he believes it's against his pacifist culture

Batman doesn't kill because he believes in second chances

Vash doesn't kill because it would make Rem sad

But when it comes to the rwby world, the whos and whys of killing... aren't really there?

The villains kill on-screen often, which is a given since, yknow, villains. But our heroes have never had a discussion of how far they're willing to go for their goals

It could've been established during any of the Salem talks, but instead the writers handle it with kid gloves with that Saturday morning cartoon "How do I destroy Salem?" Like, we saw a whole ass human being turned to ash, ShawLuna, you can say "kill," I promise

Due to this, I thought the dynamic was "villains kill, heroes don't," which is fairly typical for shows with this tone

And then Adam was murdered. On screen. By two of our heroes

It was genuinely jarring. There was no lead up to this kind of action, no talk of "doing whatever it takes" or "we have to prepare to do things we might live to regret." Just BAM STAB DEAD

And not even a conversation after! There's literally nothing to distinguish the before/after murder versions of Yang and Blake, which is bad! You took a whole ass man's life! Blake knew him personally! His dreams, his fears, the way he took his coffee, the whole nine yards! Even if it had to be done, that should still have a major affect! Hell, my best friend cried for hours after a bird hit the windshield on our road trip, yet these two are totally okay with ending a person

Even stranger, there has yet to be actual blood spilled by our heroes after that. Not even a skinned knee! Deaths happen around them, not because of them

You've already opened the door for the reaper, you might as well let it settle in for tea

There's this very specific type of horror movie out there that I consider a separate genre that I really wish had a name so I could easily search for more of them. These are movies that are like the cliche and trope-filled horror movies where the clichés and tropes are done well and overall they're mediocre yet enjoyable horror. Movies like Open 24 Hours and Scare Campaign and Kristy and The Strangers sequel. Movies that don't try to reinvent the genre at all and that definitely aren't masterpieces, but are just a fun watch that doesn't make you think too much either.

I really want to watch a movie like that right now, but nothing I have in my watchlist sounds like the right balance of everything

For the Horror Ask: Favorite 80s Horror?

the return of the living dead hands down! best satire take, iconic moments, and tarman (the best zombie ever) couldn’t ask for a better movie

Oh, oh fuck this guy

love listening to a film nerd present their perspective like it's objectively correct

and then following it up with the most subjective piece of opinion in the world.
