Alright my brother and dad have been using this to tease me since I saw this movie as a small child

Is anyone disturb by the scene in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation where the cat is electrocuted by biting into Christmas lights?

And before you say "Oh it's supposed to be funny" well here is the thing I DON'T find it funny and my dad and brother have been using it to bug me ever since

Now what am I asking I'm asking you to either like or reblog this post if you share my feeling and find it disturbing to

Then I'll show this to my dad and brother to show I'm not an isolated case

Please

😿

thinking about pete's exact age again and whats implied by these panels

Frankenstein was released November 21, 1931. The first noir volume takes place January 1933. It's been a generous 14 months since he's seen this movie but with how its written here it sounds like he's talking about an instance when he was a kid. or at least... younger than however old he was just over a year ago.

Either Pete is on the younger side of his teenage years or he's very sensitive to 'horror'/disturbing scenes, or both. I'd get it if he's sensitive to that stuff cause who knows what heinous shit he's seen but damn does that make me feel really awful for him. Peter The Horrors Parker, known for being subjected to The Horrors,.. it just makes me sad

the part in Saltburn that was actually the most disturbing was when Ewan Mitchell bit the crunchy bar in the middle instead of at the end

“They just want money Splitting wicked into 2 parts isn’t necessary” yes it is. Period. Just trust me on this.

I saw someone criticize it because they were able to adapt the book into one musical. This is false. They adapted about 50 of the 406 page novel.

Oh!… 😦

(I’m seeing this film somehow, someway idc.)

Silence, and then the horrible dead voice comes again:

what did you like about saltburn! and would you recommend it?

Ooh, I feel like my enjoyment of Saltburn was three-pronged: 1 and most importantly) Barry Keoghan being a weird little guy, 2) Pretty, 3) tight writing and left me thinking about it. It was just a genuinely good movie, it had been a while since I'd watched a movie that just felt like Art when I was done with it.

I absolutely do recommend it, with a little caveat. It's got some Weird Shit in it, so if you're a person who needs a heads up on the weird shit, I'd do a quick google for that and go from there. I went in completely blind and had a fantastic time with that. It's a horny black comedy and psychological thriller with tight writing, great cinematography, and attention to detail. 10/10 film in my books.

It's so funny as a horror fan to hear nonfans react to disturbing movies and media

I once looked up a book I read and most of the results were reviews or comments that was like "THIS BOOK IS SO SO DISTURBING. I CRIED MYSELF TO SLEEP. I WILL NEVER KNOW PEACE, MY INNOCENCE HAS BEEN LOST. I MUST CONFESS EVERY SIN I HAVE EVER COMMITTED TO FEEL EVEN THE TINIEST BIT BETTER."

And I'm just like haha yeah it was wild

Or stuff like "The Human Centipede will haunt every second of every dream I will ever have"

what do you mean!! that shit was hilarious!!

i hate the way people talk about saltburn like get yourself together lmao??? you would not survive a day on tumblr

barry moser’s wonderful wizard of oz illustrations irrationally terrify me

An experience I always think of when I see someone try to hold someone else accountable for their choice to read is the time I got super triggered by a fic for like, a week. But the thing is, I clicked on it knowing it contained smth that might trigger me. I wanted to try and read the fix because the premise interested me, and I thought I was in a position to deal with any possible triggers. Ngl I still left kudos it was really well written and ultimately what triggered me was an accurate portrayal of what I experienced. So good job, author! I should have expected the dead dove you marked ^^;;

That's a very mature way to go about things, anon. You have my respect.

I don't really get triggered as such from reading (visual things are a different story - if you trick me into watching a movie with gore in it, I will walk out of the room and refuse to talk to you for at least a few weeks), but I have read things that gave me lasting nightmares which I have then regretted - even if, at the time, I couldn't put them down I was so hooked. And if the work was properly tagged/I knew what I was going in for it's all my own fault, regardless of what effect it had on me.

I never understood why some people want to make it the author's problem if they react negatively to something.

jordan peele fans lmk what you think but i saw this video of a shark swallowing a divers camera and i wonder if thats where he got the inspiration for what it looks like when all the people get swallowed by jean jacket in Nope?

Like not this specific video obviously but just inside of a shark's mouth in general or am I just crazy idk thats what it reminded me of immediately

i just finished the rise of the tmnt movie....

i was going to make a joke here about how the OG anti jedi movement was started by george lucas and is called the prequel trilogy (and they are like garbage as films but not because of that) but i realized that actually as someone whose family luckily is not in star wars a more salient irritation to me is the conversation about The Luke Of It All and like i could go on about this at length but mostly what i want to say is that in high school i decided i wanted to celebrate my eighteenth birthday by having all my friends over and having a marathon of the original star wars trilogy, which we had all grown up with and loved except one girl who had never seen them and when this came to light we were like WHAT????? HOW CAN THIS BE?????? and we were all a little judgmental when she got bored and went to bed halfway through. because we all had been star wars fans since childhood and thought the movies ruled. we were obnoxious and superior teenagers who went to the last two prequels preparing to hatewatch and eager to make fun, and it was consensus (not shared by me, a lifelong lover of critters) that the ewoks were dumb, but our love for star wars was deep and sincere. my dude friends probably had some knowledge of the world beyond the movies even from like video games and maybe some novels idk. anyway. so we sat down on my birthday to watch these movies that we all agreed were awesome and great. and one of my friends was like, “i should count every time luke whines onscreen.” and we were all like LMAO HAHAHA THAT’S SO FUNNY YES DO IT. and he got to like 110 whines by the end of a new hope and then abandoned the bit. but like. one thing that makes me feel insane is if you’d asked me in november 2017 “how do star wars fans feel about luke?” i UNHESITATINGLY would have said, “oh they think he’s a whiny bitch and the most lame character in the movies and also that mark hamill can’t act.” like i can’t emphasize how much this was the reality i knew as a person who liked star wars but in a normal way. i swear i wrote some line to this effect into a piece of fiction at one point. and in fact as a person who tends towards generosity once i’ve decided i like something i also could have told you of the years i spent alone in the luke-loving trenches, coming to his defense because yeah he does whine a lot but that’s part of his charm. it’s part of the magic of the movies, went the argument i swear to you i had made, that if luke is on the screen he’s probably whining. it wouldn’t be the same any other way! this was, i stress again, as per all evidence available to me, a niche opinion. like it was a really hot take to be like “yes luke whines so much… but i like him anyway! and i think mark hamill is pretty good once you get to empire.” so like i feel really truly berenstain/berenstein bears about this universe i portaled into 5 years ago where apparently longtime star wars fans have always thought that luke was awesome and cool and a total hero. like setting aside all debates over artistic merits and narrative consistency and how to read the best star wars movie of all time (the last jedi), it just makes me feel fucking crazy that people would act like “luke sucks” is a concept invented out of thin air by rian johnson in 2017. like it goes against everything about my experience of being a person who has thought the original star wars trilogy is pretty great since i was 8 years old in 1996.

Thoughts on Emily (2022)

Yeah yeah, not accurate at all, but but but as a translation of the themes of Wuthering Heights (and may I add, Jane Eyre and Vilette) into the lives of the Brontë siblings…… I’m speechless

First, disclaimer, I do not condone the heterosexuality and like to think of Emily as someone who could conjure up all those feelings of desire, hatred, longing, without having to undergo a love affair in the process. But it would’ve been so easy to come up with a Heathcliff to Emily’s Cathy, and I think the movie avoided this in the best way possible. It seemed to me that Emily’s proximity to both Branwell and William was there to show her the possibility of expansion of the self, duality found within a “best earthly companion” (to borrow from Charlotte), while not making neither of them Heathcliff. Both Heathcliff and Cathy were rather in the emotions that these relationships stirred within Emily, getting to the heart of Cathy’s cry of “I am Heathcliff”. It’s Emily who cries “let me in”, it’s Emily who’s left in the abyss. Moreover, I adored the scene where William tells Emily she’s not a fish in the pond of Haworth, but a fish in the deep ocean of the moors. The impression the moors give of being frozen waves, together with the constant howling of the wind, falling of the rain, and crashing of the waves in the soundtrack stirred all the sensuality of the landscape, Emily’s expansion into it and her belonging solely in that wilderness.

Second, I do not condone of Charlotte’s portrait either - at times, it seemed lazy black-and-white setting of the prim vs the rebellious sister. That being said, I forgave it all at the final scene, when Charlotte sits by Emily’s desk and feels Inspiration coming through the window. If we look at the portrayal of Charlotte as that of a time when she was at her most repressed, shutting off everything that made her truly herself for worldly approval, then the final scene serves to recognise the fiery passion, wilderness, and desolation that exists too in her prose. The torch of passion is lit in her for writing Jane Eyre, and most devastatingly, so is that of solitude, made so poignant in the character of Emily, and which will haunt Charlotte even more after her sisters’ deaths, to the writing of Vilette. So, though Emily (2022) had 2 things that are pet peeves of mine in interpretations of the Brontës’ lives, it left me in the end with the swollen heart of one who had just finished WH/JE/V for the first time, a feeling I’d thought I’d never have again. So I guess I loved it.

I get nervous whenever ppl ask me what my favorite movie is because how the fuck do I explain what Felidae is and why I like it without sounding insane
