#upgrade 2018

[bruisedconscience]

fun fact: the film upgrade both opens and closes with the film’s protagonist licking blood off his finger

Ship dynamics I love:

Protag just trying to survive/Quirky sentient AI

The Narrator/Stanley (The Stanley parable Ultimate edition)

Glados/Chell (Portal)

HAL 9000/David (2000 Space odyssey)

Grey Trace/STEM (Upgrade 2018)

Ted/AM (I have no mouth and I must scream)

They're just *Chef's kiss*

BENEDICT HARDIE as FISK UPGRADE 2018 | dir. Leigh Whannell

[sourweather-art]

"Horror is a lot like heavy metal, because it never goes away. Every once in a while, a heavy metal album becomes a mainstream hit and everyone goes 'Metal's back!' and the fans are like 'It was always there'."

WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING

The people who say that Upgrade (2018) is Venom (2018) but better, just be going around lying, huh?

Except for some surface-level similarities, they are not the same movie at all. Themes, plot, tone, and even the relationship between "man and the entity inside him" are different.

I get someone liking Upgrade better but they are not doing it any favors by centering the conversation around it in another movie that they dislike and that it isn't that similar to begin with. Like, what are we doing? Upgrade can stand on its own.

Round 4!

Think about the character and their personality, not how perfectly they fit the setting or relationships

Also please go vote on all the other polls!

This is the last round that will feature new characters!

[herecomesthementalmeltdown]

just watched upgrade (2018). heavy spoilers below the cut

i really fucking loved this movie. the twists felt like there was always a man behind the man, let me explain.

so like, you start the movie and think serk is behind asha's murder. then you find out serk was hired by his brother fisk to do it. then you find out fisk, eron, everyone, was part of stem's plan for basically The Matrix.

god. that fucking ending. where stem practically kills grey and puts him in a VR world where his wife is still alive and he's in a hospital bed recovering from the crash THAT STEM CAUSED THROUGH ERON.

it's so fucking videodrome.

i also liked the fact that the one non-binary character is one of the most moral people in the movie.
