Also Abyss is criminally underseeded, and the fact that the best game of all time is losing is hugely disappointing.

For shame, B8.

Plasma, are you left or right-handed?

So I've made some pretty good progress on a Parody/Satire list. I'd like to host, but I would just need some help with the formatting/technical aspects of it.

What's this? A last second major jump from plasma to just 1-point short of 1st place?!? A drop all the way to 4th from rockus after dominating the entire list prior? A last minute jump from Tangy to put him just 4 points away from losing his bottom spot? We're in the 3rd hour here! Who goes out in cocaine-fueled shootout and who fades away into obscurity doing life without parole?

Planning to get the final two posted tomorrow, so stay tuned!

Scorsese admitted straight-up that he made a feature-length montage. Personally, I found it glorious, but I guess I understand this take?

Heck, it feels a little odd to say there are "no discernable stakes" in a movie where people keep getting in trouble left and right.

Zelda
Evil

As somebody who hated the first one, I liked Terrifier 2 infinitely more.

You know
A lot of people seem to hate on S2
But I don't hate it. I don't hate 3 either

But
IT'S SO FUCKING POINTLESS
Like I can defend S2 because at least it follows Clemantine and shows her growth

S3 is such a filler

I mean horror in general, not just slashers, just don't do sequels well. Honestly, it's difficult to be scared by the same thing twice. With Art though, I just feel like he has a ton of sadistic tricks left up his sleeve.

I wanted to touch on the psychological elements more. It's a bit easy to overlook Art and the little girl's relationship with everything else going on (and the fact it's played as a kind of whimsical rom-com thing) but it's actually one of the most fucked up parts of the film. And it's interesting to glimpse further into Art's mind and see just how he perceives his victims if his gory slayings weren't already enough. Did you feel there were more focus on facial disfigurement in this film compared to the more genital focused attacks of Terrifier 1? Or just me?

Except it's the inverse here - Mr. Pink survives by being the most rational yes, but also thinking the most like a criminal. Mr. Pink is rewarded through cunning, greed, and not valuing comradery or friendship like Mr. White.

I really like that reading, never thought of it that way. And the 'virtue' is signaled right away, as Pink is the only one callous and self-interested enough to protest tipping.

My headcanon is that Eddie is shot by one of the bullets that magically miss Jules/Vince in Pulp Fiction
