prove it you fuckin' liar
Bullshit!
what a nightmare!
Shazam kicks ass
I can't imagine it wont make my top 10 this year
You should, it's good!
Your lady said to shut up!
It'll probably make my top ten.
But I'm not sure I'm going to see more than ten movies this year, so that's not really a feat I realize.
vera said that?
Thank you.
By the end of the year I'll have seen at least 50
the razzies really are complete bullshit, aren't they
The only thing good thats literally ever come from them was sandra bullock dunking on them
Almost.
Most of the time it give off the feel of a student film, which is kind of endearing and puts you into a generous headspace. There's all kind of special effects fuckups, weird performance choices and other strangeness that leads you to go "aww, they're trying super hard". And then like, Carrie-Ann Moss shows up, and you're reminded that oh shit, this movie had like a 20 million dollar budget and it's a professional production.
They never set up The Bye Bye Man as a character at all! The core idea of "even knowing his name or thinking about him is bad shit" has potential and then they do nothing with it! Early on it even seems like they know that it's a stupid name but then they forget that it's a stupid name. He has a bunch of totally random details that never tie in to anything at look, like his very bad PS1 dog and coins that do... something or some shit.
I think it deserves more attention as a bad movie because it's not often that a movie this wildly amateurish makes it into wide release. I don't know how it even got picked up as a script, because the script isn't even first-draft good.
That's true, without CinemaSins we would probably not have gotten CinemaWins, which is a delightful channel.
It did get a delightful dunking by Kris Straub, though!

I know cracked and all, but it's to the point
Us was excellent, High Flying Bird was great, and Paddeton was charming if uneven.
There is a fuckin ton of movies coming out soon that I’m looking forward to, but outside of a bunch of blockbusters I’m not interested in, it’s been a slow year so far. Last year, several of my favourites were out by this point.
They never explain his deal. His power is that if you know about him he can make you hallucinate and there seems to be some inconsistent thing where he makes you want to tell people about him. Otherwise his deal is never explained.
The very first scene is a (badly done) oner that follows a guy walking through his neighbourhood with a shotgun killing everyone who knows about The Bye Bye Man before killing himself which is a pretty chilling idea that made me think this movie might have legs. They never match that again, everything else is really dumb and unimaginative.
yikes
Isn't that vaugely the plot of Freddy vs Jason. The town quaratines everyone who's had contact with Freddy and gives them pills that make them not dream. Nobody who knows about him is able to dream, and everyone else doesn't know about him so they don't fear him so he has no power over them.
This is basically correct
that's my the bye bye man story
it is impossible to take seriously
I can't believe that gave someone enough juice to get a movie made
The See You Later Alligator
i have always liked when the elm street movies would go to ridiculous extremes with regard to quarantining their dream demon
freddy's dead isn't a good movie, but i adore the weird post-apocalyptic springwood that hadn't had children in it for decades
Ah I see you've been reading my pitch to bring back Zoo
I'm starting a gofundme for it
that's a good instinct because he was already established as a writer and actor before that
