Nope 2022
Finally got around to rewatching this. I still feel largely the same about it. The quality of it is so high, and it's such a unique take on so many levels that it's hard to judge it. I have a few issues with how it's paced, but at the same time I like that it's different than every other horror films pace. And tonally it's very consistent, but it's not "horror" the way you would expect, at least not always.…

American Fiction 2023
Thought this was pretty great. Did a really good job of juggling a lot of different themes and tones. Laughed out loud kind of a lot actually. Was good satire without taking itself too seriously. Adam Brody is always welcome.

Nimona 2023
Really good! I thought maybe she'd be a little too much, kinda like how Jinx is in Arcane. The "edgy" character is a hard balance to strike, but I think they got it mostly right. And the surrounding story was very good so it all worked out in the end.
It was giving me strong Wolfwalkers vibes. Not that it was copying, but it definitely shares some DNA.
Overall this was a lot of fun if not a little obvious in its themes. It was all packaged incredibly well making for a really solid experience. Recommend.

The Legend of Boggy Creek 1972
💀HOOPTOBER NEUN!💀
💀Film 2/36💀
💀5 Films from David Cronenberg, Ti West, Bill Rebane, Charles B. Pierce, William Grefe and/or Joy N. Houck Jr. [2]💀The Fouke Monster was literally just looking for a cool hang then these people started shooting at him and ruined everything, SHEESH!
This was presented in sort of a faux documentary, Unsolved Mysteries format and while that is an interesting approach, I found most of The Legend of Boggy Creek dreadfully boring especially early on. There…
