#the movie is really good in my opinion

[floofballsammy]

So, after having a few days to calm down from my hype and actually process everything, I'm ready to give my (NON SPOILER) thoughts on the FNaF movie. Spoiler thoughts will be in a seperate post.

[Cutting it off because this is a bit long and I dont want to clutter your timeline! :D]

My overall outlook on this movie is still very positive. I really liked it, and that's not just the hype speaking. I went in with practically no expectations, only having watched Matpat analyse the first trailer (to have atleast some idea of what i'm getting into) and was pleasently surprised in the end. And honestly I think that was the best way to approach this movie.

Yeah, I've waited 8 years for this movie, yeah, FNaF is a big franchise, but it's still, well, FNaF. We weren't gonna get some expertly crafted story that will change our lives forever. Not to mention we've also been so desensitized to dead kids and murder that this specific horror aspect will be somewhat underwhelming for us. So I admit, I was a bit worried where they were gonna take this at first. But they took (in my opinion) the best route, with a simpler story and some good jumpscares mixed in. Ya know, Classic FNaF 1.

This movie was clearly made with lots of genuine passion and love for the franchise. And it's really charming. The decision to go for actual suits and props rather than CGI was the best decision they could have made. The animatronics looked stunning and were a nice change of pace from other movies.

The referrences were also fun! I caught a lot on my first watch, but there are definetly some I missed. The movie also doesnt use these as a selling point or hinges on then, which actually let me focus on the movie itself.

But how is it for non FNaF fans? Good question! I went in with both someone who is a big fan and someone who barely played the first game. Later also meet some people who had only surface level FNaF knowledge. We all generally liked it. The plot wasnt hard to follow along and doesnt require any former knowledge. It all gets explained in the movie, fans will just pick up on things or come to conclusions quicker than non fans. But it's never alienating. So, new fans or non fnaf fans can watch it without having to stress over learning the lore.

All in all, it was a good movie. I went in expecting a FNaF movie and got a FNaF movie. It's not the best movie I've ever seen, but a movie I really like and will positively stay in my mind for a long while. Definetly one of my favourites.

Bungou Stray Dogs: Dead Apple and how “ability users” (opposite to “normal people”) learning to accept themselves through the acceptance of their own abilities is a queer metaphor of acceptance of own's sexual orientation and gender: an essay by me

gem's ability to completely stop scar in his tracks when he's talking about star wars by just asking (seemingly) innocuous questions is incredible

I had to take some measures before looking up Ultraman: Rising and I think I accidentally created a wasteland.

The thing that kills me about the Star Wars prequel trilogy and why I will die on my hill that my problem is not that Star Wars is a tragedy, its that its a badly written tragedy, is that Anakin Skywalker was at his closest to being a good Jedi when he was ten years old.

also i wanna say i know we're sick and tired of sequels prequels etc but i went to watch the furiosa movie this weekend and it was so good. such a intense, somber, and mournful film of her life leading to fury road. a genuine heartfelt movie.

like i know fury road infected our brains on this site in 2015. so go watch furiosa!! it's tonally different from fury road too and i really liked that about it

Something else about the 1977 production that I just noticed right now rewatching the shaving scene is they have a shot of Jonathan going to bed the night before, and 1) they have try and sleep before stopping and putting on the crucifix, which I think is a great way to emphasize that he's comforted by it through the medium of film and 2) as he's going to sleep it's you know morning, so you can hear outside the bleating of sheep which is just 👌👌👌👌 delectable symbolism right there mmmmMm.

yknow, ralph breaks the internet has been rightfully criticised to death for years because its one of the worst mainstream animated movies to have ever been released, and honestly is one of the worst sequels ive ever seen or heard of, which is really funny when sequels are famously not very good in most cases

all this to say that i think my biggest issues with it aside from the abysmal writing and the product placement up the ass, is that first off, its not even about video games. the original wreck it ralph is basically a love letter to video games, the references and the care put into those aspects of the movie are so delightful, but the sequel is practically not about video games at all, not really.

also moreso, you literally couldve just replaced any of the characters in ralph breaks the internet with brand new original characters and it wouldve been the same tbh. it just didnt feel like a story unique to those characters and their setting, and they were so out of character that it wasnt even them anyway.

if the sequel had been them discovering the world of online and modern video games, it wouldve been cool. theres so much potential there because of the evolution of video games, and how limited arcade machines are compared to online games, and the things these characters couldve discovered about themselves and eachother couldve been cool (not to mention any new characters introduced and the plots those could have), but instead we got product placement self advertising emoji movie out of character hell

Hi Beatles fans! What do you think of the Let It Be Movie, since its remaster came out yesterday?

[chaoswillcalmusdown]

one thing that is so funny is reading lowest reviews on letterboxd and then clicking the profiles to see their fave films and it's always dune or inception or la la land or matrix or a guy ritchie joint or like. good will hunting
