[yoestuveaquiunavezfrases21]

1978- Tengo ronca el alma de quererte en esta soledad llena que me ahoga. Tengo los ojos llenos de luz de imaginarte, y tengo los ojos ciegos de no verte. Tengo mi cuerpo abandonado al abandono, y tengo mi cuerpo tiritando de no poder tocarte. Tengo la voz tosca de hablar con tanta gente, y tengo la voz preciosa de cantarte. Tengo las manos agrietadas de la escarcha, y tengo las manos suaves de en el cielo acariciarte.

IMAGINARY - (Fan-Made Drawing Poster)

"He's NOT Imaginary.... He's NOT your Friend.... and He's NOT willing to give you MeRcY...."

[marine-indie-gal]

I'm sorry but what Year is it supposed to be Exactly Again?

Year of the Dragon? More like the Year where Imagination Friends run Wild.

So I recently finally saw "IF" just like on how that I've watched Other Imaginary Friends Films like "The Imaginary" & "Imaginary" (might be too similar with the Titles but one puts Another Word in front of it).

Ok, technically The Imaginary (which is based off of a Book) is an Anime Movie from 2023 but Netflix dubbed it on English this Year so I guess you could at least say that this Anime Movie does count within the Year (at least...The English Dub only anyway).

Anyway, because this Year has been recently a Movie Year for Films about Imaginary Friends, similar to how that 2022 was the Year for Pinocchio Adaptations (You got the Goat, The Foreign, & The Bad One), I'd figure why not try the Holy Trinity of This Year's Imagination Films with an Unlikely Trio (Rudger from "The Imaginary", Blue from "IF", & even Chauncey from "Imaginary").

While IF and The Imaginary succeeded despite having Mixed Reviews, Imaginary on the Other Hand didn't. But that's not gonna stop from drawing Three Movies within the Same Common Trope of Fantasy.

I could've had at least drawn Chauncey in his Monstrous Form but because it was too unbearable (get it?) to draw, I've decided to draw his Teddy Bear form just because it's too easier but I also had to make his face be expressional to lighten' up the Mood.

Even if he might be an Evil Deity, I wouldn't be surprise if he could change expressions in his Plushie form.

I also don't really like the way that I did with Blue's eyes as it looked kinda cringey (which I humbly apologized for that XP).

BTW, in case if you are deeply unaware about the "Third" Imagination Friends Movie if you're one of the Few who have seen either the Former or the Latter (or just Both). If you have Netflix, please consider giving "The Imaginary" a try, it is deeply Beautiful, Heartwarming, & More Depth with so much Emotion compare to IF.

This movie was actually pretty fun. It reminded me of a few other movies, and it was a little predictable, but I had a good time watching it.

[dreamcatcheratdawn]

Okay, but I have to share this.

A few weeks ago I had a dream about Luffy, at the time of the Marineford fight. Only he was covered in bandages, so it was after the Marineford fight. It was like I'd known him for years, it was so natural while I was talking to him (I don't remember the topic of the conversation).

There were other people around, and the setting was the kitchen in my house. Out of nowhere, some people come carrying Zoro, his body all bandaged up - just like when he was in Thriller Bark recovering from the fight against Kuma.

And man, it was a surreal feeling when I saw him, I ran up to him like I hadn't seen him in years, and even when I hugged him tightly he groaned in pain, and I backed away quickly, we looked at each other for a long time and the dream ended there. But it was all so real, when I woke up the next day I cried, wanting more dreams like that 😭😭

Top 5 Worst Films of 2024

Fair warning: this one's going to consist of films that were less bad than disappointing. Whoo. This is going to be controversial. And also contain some spoilers. Here goes:

5. Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga

I like that George Miller didn't do Fury Road 2.0 structure-wise. Unfortunately, there's not much else to add to the things I liked. Anya Taylor-Joy was fine, I guess, and Chris Hemsworth was relishing the chance to play a dickhead in a big-budget film. There weren't many stakes given that it's a prequel, and the greenscreen was very obvious at times. The whole thing was a letdown that left me cold.

4. MaXXXine

The worst of the X trilogy by a country mile. The killer was very obvious (who else could it be but Maxine's dad?), and the film in general seemed disinterested in itself. The ending was also pretty lazy, and the behind-the-scenes shit didn't help either. On the other hand, I finally learned that "Bette Davis Eyes" was called "Bette Davis Eyes". That's that in its favour, I guess.

3. The Crow

If I had £1 for every second cinematic adaptation of a well-known piece of literature that starred a Skarsgard in a prominent role, featured a composition by Enya, and bombed at the box office, I'd have £2. Not a lot, but given how weirdly specific this particular instance is, it's weird that it happened twice. The only difference is that the other one is good and deserved better overall, whilst the only part of this disaster that deserved better was the opera house sequence.

2. Megalopolis

Not much to be said that hasn't already been said by other people. An overlong obnoxious display of self-fellating that was excruciating to sit through. Sidenote: this is the third year in the row that a film starring Nathalie Emmanuel has appeared on the worst list. Honey. Fire your agent.

Honourable mentions:

In a Violent Nature: Most of it is great; it shaped up to be a really refreshing take on the slasher genre. However, it shits the bed when the final girl is rescued and the driver starts spelling out the themes of the film. I know decent attention spans amongst people are in short supply these days, but the problem is not that bad, surely?

Imaginary/ Night Swim: Putting those two together because they're basically the same film. Imaginary's Jeff Wadlow's first attempt at film since 2020's Fantasy Island, almost the very last film I saw in cinemas before the pandemic hit (and my resentment at that has latched onto Wadlow himself). As for Night Swim... just stick with the short.

And now, the worst fucking thing I saw this year:

1. Borderlands

I'm going to copy and paste what I said elsewhere:

Eli Roth has directed two films that are not hard 18-rated love letters to '70s and '80s slashers: the 2018 PG-rated fantasy comedy The House with a Clock in its Walls and this year's 12-rated video game adap Borderlands. The fact that The House... - again, a PG-RATED FANTASY COMEDY - feels more like an Eli Roth film than Borderlands should tell you everything you need to know about Borderlands.

I was begging for the death of Jack Black's character, and I have no idea what Gina Gershon, Cate Blanchett, and Jamie Lee Curtis were doing here. Congratulations to Avi Arad on his directorial debut. Just a shame it's another crime for which Israel needs to apologise.

Thanks for reading! Best post coming soon.

Saw Imaginary tonight. Honestly, it wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be, but it wasn't amazing either. It was just ok.

HORROR VILLAIN TOURNEY 2024, ROUND ONE MATCH TWENTY-SIX: Sarkata (Stree 2) vs. Chauncey (Imaginary)

[lou-syd]

That Imaginary movie looks like it's going to be mid based on the full trailer (and it's a Blumhouse production so...) but I really like the toy commercial-style teaser. I'm such a sucker for stuff like that I wish the movie had that same style or tone but it looks pretty by the numbers.
