Event Horizon - 8/10
The studio interfered because they new Paul W. S. Anderson's vision was too powerful. It's intellectually cheap and wears it's influences on its sleeve (Alien, The Shining Hellraiser), but who says those are bad things? Especially when it looks so goddamn good. If the studio cut is this gnarly, I gotta wonder what that director's cut looked like.

 

here me out though, no

 

This is like saying Britney's cover of "Satisfaction" is why you don't listen to the Stones...

 

I'll give Godzilla credit that in a good quality theater, everything was legible. But it doesn't translate very well to home viewing.

 

Reread that first line my friend.

I don't care what anyone says. Even The Grimace.

 

Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God
7.5/10

Imagine having such a bad case of main character syndrome that you fool a dozen of the most vulnerable people you can find into think you're god and inadvertently signing your own death warrant when they refuse to take you to the hospital for ingesting silver.

Now imagine paying those dozen or so QAnon influencers to be in a documentary about how they killed someone via medical neglect

 

Godzilla Minus One - This was fantastic. I was expecting something completely of dark and dour based on the trailer, but it manages to be pretty fun too with a great cast of characters and some of the best Godzilla destruction scenes yet. The entire third act was perfection. It also manages to have a well-executed message about national guilt and PTSD in post-war Japan and what constitutes an act of honor. It's one of the best blockbusters to be released this year and probably this decade so far.

 

The Muppet Christmas Carol - 7.5/10
Faithful to a fault and the songs low-key kinda stink, but it's genuinely funny, occasionally unsettling (the Ghost of Christmas Past!), and Rizzo the Rat works even harder than Michael Cane, so it's worthy of the holiday canon.

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - 8/10
It doesn't feel as magical as Fellowship did, but the Battle of Helm's Deep is an obvious all-timer. As a kid, I loved watching Merry and Pippin with the Ents. As an adult, I truly could not care about the hobbits less. Their whimsy is annoying lmao. I am all in on the battles and the denser geopolitical stuff, though.

 

muppets are creepy

 

Says the grimace

 

Muppets are top tier.


You were just saying you don't have horrible takes and you posted this, grimass

 

The Muppets rule.

 

Love The Muppets and A Muppets Christmas Carol is the best telling of the story hands down.

 

If you haven't heard the original a bad cover doesn't make you want to check it out

 

I prefer Homer's vision of the Ghost of Christmas Future in "Tis the Fifteenth Season"

"Unloved by Al!? Noooo!"

 

Closest I've ever come to blocking someone on here.

 

Resisting the urge to write a thesis on Paul Williams' work on the song score for Muppets Christmas Carol. Suffice it to say, I strongly disagree that they stink.

 

don't kink shame Gonzo

 

I will not be silenced. The muppets are creepy as fuck.

 

Imagine hearing a knock at your door and you open it and this fucker is standing there.

 

Sometimes the truth hurts.

 

Good thing it wasn't the truth then

 

other reviews from the time seem to echo my sentiment. imo, the only good song is "Marley & Marley"

well yeah, he's supposed to be creepy lol that's like saying "the spice girls are scary" because of scary spice

 

He's a tastebud. You can't use logic against him.
