My main complaint about the Hell House LLC franchise is one of my complaints about any horror franchise.
The need to start adding more and more lore to the story.
Sometimes I just want a movie to be a scary house, not a plot to bring hell to Earth
That 2nd one also features a made up news magazine show that looks like a triple inceptioned porn parody of an actual news magazine show. Just miraculous incompetence in imitating a form.

I did…I swear my ADHD word errors are getting worse and worse…
I tried to watch Star Trek: The Motion Picture last night, and look, I knew it had a reputation of being a very boring movie, but I'd sort of arranged that in my head as, "ah, people say the sci-fi movie is boring because it has ideas, I bet it's fine." Folks, it is not fine, it is extremely boring. I'd forgotten that it got that reputation from Star Trek fans and if those motherfuckers think something is boring, someone that's a more casual fan of the franchise is going to have an extremely bad time.
The pacing is extremely bad, hardly anyone is allowed to emote at all, the movie is obsessed with showing you a fucking screen with a proto-screen saver on it, there's like a fifteen minute sequence of William Shatner taking a shuttle to the Enterprise while nobody says a fucking word, and nobody directed Shatner to do anything so he just stares sort of blankly at nothing, because he's on a set. That's sort of his default for the whole movie, kind of staring off blankly in what I assume is meant to be awe. Nothing happens for like, an hour and a half except for some really poorly rendered ship malfunctions. It's bad! I can't believe that they got to make more Star Trek movies after that, and that the sequel that had a ton of budget cuts looks about a thousand times more interesting
you shut your fuckin mouth about the spacedock scene
it fucking sucks, Star Trek '09 accomplishes exactly what that scene is trying to accomplish in about 5% of the time
if I wanted to see that shit I'd chuck a camera through an apple store window

Shots of characters getting hit by cars in movies are always just naturally funny, at least to some degree, and that particular one does itself absolutely no favors in the presentation if the goal was to make it dramatic or sad instead.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
I love how far away the tricycle is from the traffic crossing at the beginning of the clip. Just really sell to us visually how implausible this whole scenario is.

It's that Austin Powers scene where the henchman is screaming for like thirty seconds at the approaching steamroller
So on the twilight of my much needed vacation I saw the D&D movie
I quite liked it. basically it was the players mess up the carefully planned sessions with doing whatever with the Dm intervening with items and characters

Yeah it's both a solid action romp and a lot of fun to read as people playing a campaign. Hugh Grant is an unsurprisingly great slimy jerk.

Paul Rudd continuing the bit on Conan's podcast is extremely good
I think Conan was almost legitimately surprised when it happened. He always seemed to be and I don’t think he’s that good or an actor.
I'm sure in the back of his head, he was always like "this motherfucker's gonna play the clip again," but I think the podcast, and a couple of the times where he was like, "oh, I'm sorry, here's the actual clip" legitimately got him. I think especially in Rudd's last appearance on the show, he legit got him twice
Honestly sloths can look pretty horrifying, their body proportions and eyes that reflect moonlight in camera shots, as well as damp hair, basically you got yourself an uncanny valley alien demon. They also move like they’re stop motion
Edit: Jesus they’re both cute and terrifying depending on the angle, I can’t stop looking up sloth videos. If these fuckers could move fast they’d be the most terrifying thing on earth https://youtu.be/2zhpufyZjfo?si=OuN_rLpylEdRTCn-
How does something alive look like it’s a puppet made of its own taxidermied corpse
Straight up looks and moves like an Elden Ring boss.

It is a fool who looks for logic in the chambers of the human heart.
this is me, I'm right there with Kirk
(literally, I made this image)
Goldsmith's music is so good and Probert's refit Enterprise is so gorgeous, I can't help myself.
No Raijin that's just the munchies.
Nicolas Hoult plays such a perfect foodie douchbag in The Menu and I love it.

It's the direct slow dive under the tire that gets me.
The failed grab for the rear tire is also a laugh riot

If only SNL was that funny or concise.

His work in Paddington 2 may be a career high.
Especially when it crosses over with Hugh Grant The Villain.
