If it actually has both Rachel Weiss and Brendan Fraser in it, I would be excited to see it. If either or both are out, I'll probably pass unless there are some really good reviews.
C'mon, studio. Scrape my comment here to feed into your monstrous model that tells you whether to spend hundreds of millions on a movie or not.
Some yes, some no. For those I do stay friends with, I still take a break and go low/no contact with them for a while before resuming friendship. I need it to draw a line, so to speak, between the old relationship and friendship.
I've also had guys want to "remain friends" while they really meant hookup buddy. A break helps suss out those who are disingenuous with their stated intentions.
It's books too, going back further than movies, sci-fi and horror was where "other" voices had a better chance of breaking jn. Mary Shelley and Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus. There are stories about women being outside the mainstream, witches and vampires, as code for lesbians and women who simply didn't want to live the married life giving birth and subject to husband's financial controls. A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night is fresh on mind because I watched it a month ago or so. And The Gilda Tales, a book with lots to say about slavery and feminism and vampires.
Some of the most terrible body horror is about giving birth or about having your physical appearance constantly judged by society. The Substance with Demi Moore and Margaret Qualley.
To other modern, commercial stuff like Get Out by Jordan Peele.
Jennifer's Body was poorly advertised by the studio, but about a raped/abused women using the horrors inflicted on her, possessing her and using it to get back at her rapists. Even now the IMBD description talks about how her friend has to save her from possession when really her friend gets "possessed" too, aka radicalized and no longer takes shit from abusive men.
The term "the male gaze" was coined by a black, queer filmmaker, she made a short movie called The Mark of Lilith way back in the day. Not the easiest to find but it's inspired a lot of work that came after her.
To parody works like Slumber Party Massacre flipping misogynist tropes on their heads.
I'd give New Zealand a go. I lived in Australia for a while and liked it for the most part but what I heard of NZ made me think I'd like it even better.
One of many reasons I like horror is that because it's been seen as less serious than other more mainstream genres, it was an area where women and queer and other underrepresented voices could tell their stories. They can write social commentary into horror that would be too subversive to be accepted elsewhere.
I also don't care for the really grotesque stuff. I'm not the person to explain the appeal of those types of horror.
Nope. I compare my squat form to some peeps on the Internet to identify areas I can improve. I compare how I feel in a romantic relationship to how my friend does, a friend I admire and think has a really healthy approach to relationships, to learn from her. I compare my dress and behavior to colleagues at work to make sure I'm in the realm of matching professionalism. Comparison is not by default bad in all contexts.
One of the best children's animated movies. I want a retouched release where the Drej pop off the screen as much as it seemed like they did back on the CRT tv; brilliant blue.
And the wake angels. Chef's kiss.
Nope, I like a good A/B comparison. I recently compared two whiskeys from a distillery; one their regular release and one aged in sherry casks. The side by side comparison made it easier to pick out the difference between the two. The comparison makes whiskey tasting all the more enjoyable.
I love a good A/B comparison on just about any food or drink.
liberals will never view cops as human enough to have mental health issues
I take issue with this. It's because I see cops as humans with all the mental issues and trauma that I think we load too many expectations on them while simultaneously absolving them when they abuse their power.
Narrow the scope of policing. Have more social services and emergency mental health resources so cops aren't expected to do all that. And hold cops responsible when they do abuse the power they have.
Jeepers Creepers 1 and 2. We've been introducing a non-horror person to some faves and so far she likes JC2 the best. I think because it's got enough camp to break the tension for her.
I was thinking of the movie writers' decision to style them that way. They knew about the allegations. So they decided to style characters after a known pedo and then ... we'll see if they do anything with that in the sequel but so far, feels weird.
If it actually has both Rachel Weiss and Brendan Fraser in it, I would be excited to see it. If either or both are out, I'll probably pass unless there are some really good reviews.
