It sounds like a joke to say Heather Lagenkamp does a great job playing herself, but there’s so much asked of her here that it really is true.

Yeah, this is why it’s typically a bad idea to do that. Plus, we have the Grabber now.

The released ending implies people with depression are nothing but a burden on their loved ones and should just kill themselves, so…

And I do know Sandberg didn’t intend this at all and was horrified when so many people read that into it.

I first really took in the lesson from The Lord of the Rings.

The writer of the original Leopard novel was an autistic king, spending hours on solitary walks through the woods and not telling anyone he was writing a book until the first draft was finished. The recent miniseries adaptation is also pretty great.

Esai Morales could be pretty good. Especially if it leans into the one good idea of the 2010 film that Freddy was an innocent victim of the mob.

I also saw it as a much better version of the original Orphan, making it much more believable that the father would believe a stranger over his wife so strongly, instead of him just being a totally unlikable idiot.

Huh, so that's what the giant scream I just heard across several states from @mvbrat10.bsky.social was about.

‘Nightmare on Elm Street 3’ Director Thinks Jim Carrey Could Play Freddy Krueger: “A Bold New Direction”

Although Robert Englund has hung up his fedora and razor claws, the 'Nightmare on Elm Street' franchise could live on with another Freddy Krueger.

Including Harley Quinn in this lineup is...odd.

I feel like it’s not known enough that The Cider House Rules is all about an anti-abortion doctor who’s finally forced into a situation where an abortion is so obviously the morally correct choice that he nuts up and does it.

These movies would all be a lot shorter if Karl Childers was there.

Feels like an underreported part of this that he worked at Tesla.

One of the more underrated jokes in DB Abridged is that Vegeta becomes much MORE of an unlikeable jerk when he's a good guy.

Everyone involved with Joker swore up and down when it was released that it was just a standalone movie and there would be no point to a sequel. Which they were right about, but here we are.

Place your bets on how long it will take him to say "Brandon Lee would still be alive if we had AI back then."

2007

Another story so entrenched in the novel format that it would seem impossible to translate to film, until someone did it.

Sometimes a book can best be made into a movie by turning its entire point and setup on its head, and it can take a real master to pull it off properly, like we have here.

2005

A story type that was long overdue for this kind of prestige treatment, which remains an indelible classic.

2004

A character study as funny as it is repulsive, constantly making you second-guess how much sympathy anyone deserves and easily holding your interest through it all.

2003

A book considered unadaptable for decades until the right team came along, and were willing to put in all the hard work to get it right.

2002

This decades-long passion project comes with a script that fully justifies Scorsese never giving up on it.
