so i didn't watch Anything today but yesterday. maxxxine it. fucks so hard. pearl is still the superior movie of the series but i was lile secretly worried abt maxxxine blowing it and 20 mins in i was like HOW COULD I EVER DOUBT YOU MIA GOTH!!!! 20 MINUTES IN I GOT GENITAL MUTILATION SPECIFICALLY VERY LITERAL BALL BUSTING I GOT SO EXCITED ABOUT IT I JUMPED OUT OF MY CHAIR AND TOOK A WALK AROUND THE HOUSE TO CALM DOWN OR ELSE I WASN'T GONNA FOCUS. it was fun & exciting & visually stunning Obviously i wanna say the story and final reveal and all was. kinda mid. but it's fine like i didn't care for it but the Fun of everything else made up for it. it was weird. lots of characters who are barely relevant but feel like they wanna be so it just leaves you a taste of Unfinished ? i feel like it kinda Lost the slashery-esque vibes the first two had going it very barely feels like horror at this point but i think it ties the series together nicely like it's ok if it gets wordier they were Finishing A Story. and the sfx were slappin good so i don't care. girlbossing to success that's FINE with me!!!!! idc. it was fun i liked it :)

in a violent nature was. So So Weird. i was so excited to watch it bc i heard it was like A New Fresh Slasher Movie Icon Wow!!!!! so. i was so hyped. and i don't wanna say i was disappointed but it surely is not what you expect. it's insane. like every single storybeat is something you've already seen in a friday the 13th (which is not a critique i will never mind a slasher movie being formulaic like if you do something new that's cool but if you stick to the plan i will Never complain. that is what i'm here for.) BUT the way it's shot is like. argh. it feels like a natgeo documentary and i say this so politely. which goes w the Theme of the movie where they keep implying that the killer is like a mindless wild animal and that Nature itself is out to get you it really does work incredibly well but it's so strange. bc you expect slashers to be so silly and campy and over the top and this is so quiet? the camerawork is so weird the framing the movements are So Weird. it's not super cinematic i don't know how to explain ittttt but. yk. but then the kills. some of them were off screen which made me sad but the majority that were on screen HOLY SHIIIT MY DUDEEEEE GO OFFFF it was SO GOOD SO GOOD. THE ONE. IF YOU'VE SEEN THE MOVIE YOU KNOW THE ONE. W THE HOOK THROUGH THE STOMACH INTO HER HEAD AND THEN HER HEAD GOES THROUGH HER STOMACH AND HE KICKS HER OFF A CLIFF HOLY SHIIIIT SOOOOO FUN THE WAY I WAS CHEERING!!!! but it being Like This kind of. disrupts the idea that the killer is mindless like an animal???? like. a feeling i kept having was that it had some cool ideas but never committed 100% it always did something that Interrupted that concept and ruined it. yk? like the camerawork is always like distant and impersonal except for that one or two scenes were it's almost traditionally cinematographic. the killer is mindless except he gets a flashback w his Motivational Dead Mother so now it feels like he's on a mission. yk?? a bunch of stuff. idk. the ending segment w the final girl is so unbelievably stunning tho it's just good. it's so much of johnny the slasher walking thru the woods filmed from behind and the lighting changing from day to night but it's not boring. really weird watch to make opinions on

and then stopmotion i don't even know what to say about it. it's incredibly good and weird and it has a certain post 2000s pretentiousness about it but it backs it up by HAVING ACTUAL STOP MOTION SEQUENCES AND LITTLE CREECHERS THAT ARE SO TERRIFYING AND HORRID and it even made me FLINCH at least once maybe twice. just watch it i can't even talk abt it. mommy issues are briefly at play and being consumed by your art and work is the whole point and it's done so well and the gore oh god. god god i had to call my brother into the room at some point to look at the little puppets bc they look So upsetting. insane. makes me feel crazyyyy

hi i watched three movies yesterday

[imbellarosa]

I did stay up to watch Ted lasso it’s almost 3 am I’ve had a weird night but here are the takeaways:

1.) “never gonna say goodbye” is when I started crying and was fully won over by this ship lmao. It reminds me of something I read in like … may? “The important thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away”. And that was very much the vibes here

2.) “thank you for your integrity” was the BEST fucking example of professional boundaries- the work dr Sharon does is not free and it IS work it’s not a personal relationship w a client, even if they are sort of friends.

3.) I’m glad they gave Rebecca and Sam the kindest ending possible. I do wonder why they set it up for so long to then resolve it in less than one episode but. There we are. I am sort of surprised no one raised any concerns about their fling but uh. Okay ig.

4.) the parallel work is a master stroke (and I am allowed to say that hahaha) but seriously even down to “September 13 1991” and having it be clear that both Ted and Rebecca are talking about the same day (she said the date, he mentioned it was a Friday and the my were doing a Jason movie marathon bc Friday the 13th). I loved how it’s like - and invisible string right? 3000 miles away from each other children were having to be adults bc of another adults mistake at the same time and then decades later they meet to heal from that together. Very cool.

5.) I hate love triangles and would much rather polyamory, if anyone is asking me. Or like. Jamie and Sam pls!!! That would be super fuxking cute
