October Halloween Movie Fest Day 16:

holy shit why has no one ever told me how good poltergeist is

I expected quality classic horror, but I was not expecting dense layers of human emotion. Perhaps I should have, but I also didn’t know and/or remember that this was a Spielberg movie. 80s Spielberg no less. Of course it’s phenomenal. It also helps that I didn’t know much about the plot—Simpsons never did a straight parody and at most plucked a scene or two, so I was vaguely aware it involved a little girl and a TV and probably some ghosts or something. And it was pretty obvious early on that the whole development was gonna turn out to be on a cemetery or something, but the whole thing was delivered impeccably. I actually have heard the “you moved the headstones, but you didn’t move the bodies!” paraphrased line many, many times (it was in Gex that I played on my old 3do), but I had no idea where it came from, and so experienced a very enjoyable slow realization. Even guessing that, the entire climax still delivered a fantastic wham. The effects held up great—a black line here and there, but I think it works in this movie’s favor that many effects are practical and weird-looking, it has an ethereal look that wouldn’t happen if somebody tried to remake it with CG. Great characters, great establishing normalcy and then slow build up of horror, great false ending moment of calm, great ending expressing not just that they escaped, but that they barely got away and have nothing left and are going to be haunted by this trauma for a long time. Man. I might have to buy a copy, that is my definite favorite of the never seen before bunch so far.

Treehouse of Horror 16 (Bartificial Intelligence/Survival of the Fattest/I’ve Grown A Costume On Your Face)

Not exactly my favorite, but a pretty solid Teen Years THOH, approaching Actually Creepy at times. There are some parts that don’t work IMO, but ultimately 16’s three solid segments with some weak moments outweighed 15’s two good with one funny but weak segment ratio. 16 also got bonus points for being explicitly Halloweeny rather than just wild non-canon fantasy fun, as well as the strong atmosphere. I felt more sorry for Bart than usual in the first segment, and was happy to get to Maggie’s second starring role in the third. (Well, arguably, but I’m ruling in her favor since she usually doesn’t do much.) I also thought about 8 and 9 very carefully, and decided they were correctly placed and haven’t been surpassed yet, but it’s getting pretty close. I definitely like some of these recent segments more than some of the 8/9 segments. Maybe I will have to start a second list. Anyway, the usual list is now 1, 5, 4, 7, 6, 3, 2, 9, 8, 16, 15, 13, 12, 14, 10, 11.

This was also the last season covered by Frinkiac; I will either have to hunt for gifs or stop including them.

twilight • breaking dawn

5.5/10

stephanie meyer is a trick ass bitch. let’s get into it.

gonna switch things up & start with complaints and close off with the things i liked sooo yes;

1. the nightmare scene (gif above) did not have the pile of bodies but is rather about a baby.. foreshadowing hm

2. bella & edward have sex 3 times and she gets pregnant. now we’re all still confused about the logistics of how that happened at all but like.. even in the afterlife you should know to wrap it before you tap it edward.

3. jacob’s POV. for 200 pages. for actual fucks sake.

4. edward out of desperation asking jacob to have a baby with bella so that ratatouille wouldn’t be born?? bitch what the fuck why are you prostituting your WIFE to her best friend who’s in love with her & was in love with him??

4.5 jacob being tempted by the offer.. fuck you, nasty bitch

5. stephanie’s prolife views being adamantly shown throughout the book (mostly with bella and rosalie).. ALSO

5.5 why are you trying to make rosalie seem like such a cunt?? like you can’t make me hate her but it’s a bit much

6. jacob coming off as extremely sexist when he gets desperate and tries to find a mate, picking the fuck out of women’s appearances

7. the pregnancy as a whole, not only for being inaccurate but so fucking gross. like i hate bd pt1 (except for the wedding scene & a couple others) but someone the movie form was more tolerable than the books & that’s saying something

8. much like most pregnancy tropes & in actuality, OBVIOUSLY not emetophobia safe. i knew that from the film but it’s definitely much worse in the book form.

9. jacob saying he ‘dreamt of seeing bella naked, but not like this’ when she’s stripped down & dying after delivering recluse. ew. EWWWUH

10. look i get rancid has accelerated growth and all but a newborn baby does not have their eyes open, stephanie.

10.5 speaking of ranch sauce, jacob imprinting on her. and saying we can share?? no bitch that’s a baby, you can share a jail cell with someone though!

11. stephanie referring to POC vampires as ‘uncivilized..’ oh! that’s not..

12 stephanie saying ‘ghetto address’

13. the ICONIQUE fight scene is not in the books. i knew that going into it but was still extremely disappointed by it

~ end of complaint segment ~

well. that was a lot. how about we move onto the positives now?

1. the wedding scene. even in book format it’s beautiful.

2. charlie is so endearing when alice hypes him up in his little suit. that’s babygirl sorry.

3. seth is so cute, such a sweetheart. like that’s my little brother you guys! (i adopted him)

4. rosalie making a diy doggy bowl for jacob is so cunty, she’s such a bitch i love her

5. while the fight scene wasn’t in the books i still got the good brain tingle reading through the confrontation scene. i still enjoyed it for what it was, but the fight scene would’ve carried.

5.5 the respective couples celebrating their ‘win’? against the volturi. cute.

6. the ending scene with bella letting her guard down and letting edward see her memories. yes i almost cried

6.5 edward being really excited about it? so fucking cute

7. the book having a happy ending is so relieving. like yess they deserved it (NOT you jacob, don’t get it twisted)

& that concludes this breaking dawn review. while i had a lot of complaints & had a hard time reading a lot of the boon because it was painfully long & so much of it was insufferable, there was still a lot of good ass parts.

also, eclipse is still that bitch. she was not uncrowned. stan her for that
