    "Tell me your name."
    "Why do you care?"
    "I usually don’t. I find out eventually in the paper."

    I found this film somewhat disappointing, mainly because when it was revealed that Finney could speak to the missing children, it just fell a bit flat after that. Fair play to Finney, he did a great job escaping the Grabber and made a good little team with his sister Gwen.

    📞 I'm still in Scream-mode because when Finney answered the phone, I…

    "You tore up her picture."
    "I'm gonna tear up the fucking dance floor, dude. Check it out."

    Really interesting film as it can be watched from the perspective of each of the main three characters.

    I know Nathan is a walking red flag on many levels but that dance sequence caught me off guard and was just too perfect to not appreciate 👌

    "All I really want is to be loved. I've had such a hard time without it lately."

    I'd been so looking forward for this film since I saw the trailer 7 MONTHS ago (🤨) but it was definitely worth the wait.

    When a film is a prequel/sequel, I love all the little hints and references to the other movie, and there were lots here to enjoy. The dramatic opening shot to match X was brilliant and I really enjoyed how…

    "There are two treatments I'd recommend; one is a series of painful shots that go into your abdomen and kneecaps, and the other involves a musical number."

    this film will always feel like a weird fever dream but I find the humour in it so funny...and the fact that dr seuss' wife saw this and was like 'absolutely no way you are making a sequel or any live action adaptations again'

    mr humberfloob way ahead of the times bulking up on hand sanitiser in 2003, and I used to have one of those electronic planners like sally did (in pink, of course)

    "Where I once would fear the cost of truth, now I only ask: What is the cost of lies?"

    This was absolutely chilling. The music was so eerie. The sound effects of something so simple, like a telephone ringing, became so much more frightening with the whole scale of events that were happening in the bleak atmosphere created each episode.

    It was unbelievably frustrating when noone in higher power was listening to those working at the plant and the scientists…
