  The Coffee Table 2022

  ★★★ Watched 11 Mar 2025

  I kept feeling like this was a 90 min adaptation of one of King's darkly funny short stories. As such it doesn't QUITE justify its length but there is something quite admirable in the core concept. Every major blowout fight between couples starts with something trivial/stupid, and every secret you try to keep weighs on you. So take the stupidest thing (title) and the worst thing (spoiler) and see what happens! The answer is: not much, in a cinematic sense anyway. But I'm still impressed with the attempt.

  The Thing 1982

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 26 Dec 2019 14

  For almost 40 years people have been asking if it's Macready or Childs when the answer is neither. The credits clearly say that John Carpenter's the Thing.

  The Night House 2020

  ★★★½ Watched 20 Aug 2021 5

  Adding half star for having a character's phone be on a charger while they sleep instead of just keeping it disconnected on the night stand like a sociopath.
