The description of this movie had it sounding stupid, but I had heard a lot of positive things about it.

I thought it was pretty badass! What'd you guys think of it?

Overrated is nothing to me anymore because I don't watch regular TV or have too many movie discussions. MOST movies I watch, I go into them blind. Not having many, if any, preconcieved notions and not having advertisements all over the place to sour it for me is a major plus.

I liked it. The kid was actually pretty decent IMO.

*spoilers*

Basically its all a giant metaphor for mental health especially PTSD. I understand some folks just hate kids and all but theres a reason he could be considered "annoying".

He still showed courage (wanting to protect mom) and ingenuity (inventions). All in all I gave Babadook a 8/10.

Everyone one says they didn't like the movie because the kid who was supposed to be insufferable successfully annoyed them as a viewer.

Basically, the kid was a heel, a great heel, and the complainers are complaining because they got worked and just cry "go away heat".

My kids watched a short bit of it and left the room since watching it without their mother and I was overwhelming.

Definitely watching it again so the kids can see it. This one should get them better than The Conjuring.

Yea, put the fear that you might snap and kill them one day into them. :v They'll behave more.

But srsly, the babadook is an LGBT icon.

Are you quite sure you deserve this tea? We at the homosexual agenda don't just spill our cultural knowledge wantonly.

Netflix mistakedly had it advertised in the Gay/Lesbian section at one point and it became a joke. The B in LGBT stands for Babadook, etc.

This entertaining regressive left facebook group I follow had a full rant posted in it about how that meme was disgusting due to bi erasure.

*rolls eyes* those bi people want so much attention from the LGBT even though they're the least gay group in the abbreviation! They're half normie!

That does sound entertaining. The surrounding context just makes it more ridiculous because it's so clearly not malicious or even insulting (in my opinion). Like bi-erasure is definitely a thing, but this is not the pyre on which to martyr yourselves.

So I wanted to see if the pop-up book was available. Sure enough, they made it.

At that fuckin'price, they're right. You can't get rid of the babadook. Not to me anyway.

Yeah it was really disappointing when I finally watched it. I think the people who act like it's so great probably have Insidious as their favorite horror movie, so this seems like some amazing work of art to them.
