Rewatched Annihilation and was reminded that Jennifer Jason Leigh is maybe the only person to ever conspicuously state the title of the movie they are in and make it rule.

It really is not. GDT is a swooning dramatic mall goth, not a hardcore horror type, which is why every movie he makes now is just some derivation of Edward Scissorhands.
Saw this image on another post. Sometimes I suspect horror is not for Guillermo Del Toro

I like that pro wrestling works more or less like The Muppets, in that a Kermit figure (the GM/owner) is just trying to put on a dang show but is undermined and accosted constantly by the sociopaths and buffoons which make up the cast. Plans laid to waste by violent cartoon characters.

The more I watch this the more questions I have. Why is he nailing a wooden stake to a gate? Why is it upside-down? Why does he need eye protection to tap in a nail?
True comedy is watching Dave Portnay trying to use a hammer

Also saw a story on here that she’s trying to pass the bar with help from AI. Maybe she’s not cut out for lawyering, I dunno.

Rewatched this with my kids a few years ago and it’s kind of wild how cutting it is, for a family movie, in depicting the immigrant experience. Fievel’s dad gives the officers his extremely Slavic surname and they immediately rename the family like, Johnson or something.
It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

This is the world me and all the other millennial anime heads forged when we spent our time watching Evangelion and Satoshi Kon movies in 120p on malware-ridden websites. We paved the road.
Nature is healing when one MCU movie after another can’t get any traction while every month or two some Japanese anime I have never heard of called “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Movie: Infinity Castle” makes a fortune. This is how it should be
