The fact the devil is just standing awkwardly at the door kills me

I watched longlegs too! Please please tell me what you thought of it. And what you thought about Nic Cage's performance

Okay I'm popping my thoughts under a keep reading / tagging spoilers!

Thank you for indulging me because I have THOUGHTS ™️

So:

I really really Really loved the cinematography of this movie. Like there were certain scenes that I was just "yessss" to the lighting, the shot, all of it. I loved how they framed the flashback sequences in the smaller/older film style. I loved the title sequence. Just overall, a lot of the movie making things about it I was literally the 👌👌 emojis for the entirety of the film.

I really thought they cast it well, I did think Nicholas Cage was great, I just think he could have been much scarier/terrorizing. Especially after hearing he said he never wanted to do a role like this again because it was so creepy? I was like...sir. This is scratching the surface of creepy. I also don't know if I would have realized it was him until I heard the voice slip a few times, which I think was great. They really did the make up/costume good 👌

But I just overall felt like the movie was over hyped to be much scarier/keep you on edge than what it was/did. Like, there were definitely moments I was a little spooked, grabbed my husband in the theater, jump scares and really good build up. But then it felt like all that tension and amping would dissipate or fall flat.

I feel like the choice to have there actually be a demon/long legs wasn't in full control/etc was a bad one. I really really wish they leaned more into the serial killer/terror/suspense aspect of him and that, more so than the horror/supernatural theme. Like what if long legs was just a Satan worshipper but he had convinced himself this was the will of the devil and he was the one actually obsessing and killing. Like he was still in control? To me that would have been far more terrifying.

ALSO, what if Long Legs still convinced the mom to help, but there was no deal with the devil, it was just how convincing he could be?

Like isn't that more terrifying? Wouldn't that make you feel more creepy? This serial killer using dolls to get into people's homes and terrorizing you, making you think you're going crazy?

I don't know! It was compared to Silence of the Lambs SO MUCH so that's why I really wish they leaned more into the FBI Agent/serial killer of it all. Because now, to me, Silence of the Lambs isn't that scary because there's more like it out there. So it would have been cool to see more of a modern/scarier take on a story like that without so much supernatural/horror elements.

So I think, overall, I liked the movie, it just wasn't what I expected, so my view of it is a little critical!

I'd love to hear what you and other people think too, so please send more messages or comment! 🥰

Alternative ending for the game - instead of killing almost everyone, Angel is able to save all of them, bringing them outside. Authorities arrive soon after, and Angel drags all the toys to a nearby hospital in order to patch them up.

It's found family time.

I'm 100% with you. I feel they could have done so much more with Nic Cage's character. Overall I did like the movie but I feel like the marketing for the movie was done better than the movie itself. Generated great hype but the payoff was lacking a bit. I'm curious to know if there were any deleted scenes especially with long legs himself. I'd love to see them

Yes yes yes yes YOU GET IT. I feel like that sentence "feel like the marketing was done better than the movie itself" is so true. Or it was like marketed as a movie that it wasn't?

Like, compare to Silence of the Lambs but then...where is more of Long Legs? Where is the dynamic between Lee and Long Legs? They could have dove so deep into Lee being like...the special obsession. The one girl he didn't kill but obsessed over for years. Like soooooo much they could have done but didn't.

Also yes!!! I didn't even think about that - there has gotta be some, especially with how he discussed the role made him not want to do more like it. Like there's gotta be more that he did that got cut.

DISCOTHEQUE

[raconteur-wanpi]

By the way I think with the reveal of the "Earth God" and "Sea God" in 1138, Oda has been pushing the Sky-Earth-Sea triad thematically more than ever. I'm not sure what it means exactly, but it is a pattern that's so often evoked in One Piece.

We have these three gods now, Nika being the Sky in this case. But also there's the ancient weapons themselves: Pluton (god of the Underworld), Poseidon (god of the Sea) and Uranus (god of the Sky).

And then there's even the New Monster Trio underneath Luffy (Zoro, Sanji, Jinbe), who are the "Son of the Earth" (Zoro is the son of Terra [Earth], has allusions to Hell, Asura and Enma etc, Three-Sword-Style can even evoke Cerberus to an extent), the "Son of the Sky" (Sanji is the son of Sora [Sky], mastered Sky-Walk, and can even use flames similarly to the Lunarians, beings who can fly in the sky) and of course Jinbe, whose title is literally "First Son of the Sea" (who can, by the way, despite being a fishman and not a merfolk, speak to sea animals such as his whale sharks. Which is noted as strange by others even in-universe, and kinda reflects Shirahoshi's ability). Others have pointed this out already, of course, but I do think it goes beyond just family names and earned titles.

I don't think this means that these three Strawhats are tied to the Ancient Weapons or those three gods, by the way! I just think they're another example of the appearance of this Triad; a way to enforce it's existence as a pattern. After all, you could say that if anything, the person from the crew with the strongest ties to Pluton, is Franky. Especially considering like, his whole introduction in Water 7, and him being a shipwright and everything. He memorized and burned the blueprints right in front of our eyes. And then there's Robin with her interest in the Void Century, Luffy being the Sun God and having many of those ties himself etc etc.

I just think it's interesting that this pattern seems to be reflected in those three Strawhats in more ways than just like, their mothers' names or titles or whatever. If "Sky" is the Sun, is the Flames, then Sanji can use flames. If "Earth" is also Hell and the Underworld, Zoro will often evoke that imagery. If "Sea" includes the creatures of the depths, then Jinbe can communicate with some of them.

And then, of course, there's the Ancient Weapons themselves; Uranus is seemingly powered by the Mother Flame, Poseidon can command sea kings, and Pluton... well Pluton is still kind of a mystery, but we do know that it seems to be a kind of Warship. I'd assume probably one that's powerful enough to cause a global Buster-Call esque destruction. I'd say that it's interesting that it's buried within Wano's underground though, a sort of metaphorical underworld, perhaps? So that's something there. Funnily enough Zoro has origins from Wano, doesn't he? That one could just be a coincidence though. Though both Poseidon and Jinbe are from Ryuugu Kingdom, but that one's expected for obvious reasons.

Anyway, I think where I'm getting at with this, is that "Sky", "Earth" and "Sea" are these Broad Thematic Circles that encompass various other specific concepts within them, rather than just the straightforward elements of nature. I have no idea what this will lead to, though!
