  The Substance 2024

  ½ Watched 02 Dec 2024

  i think there's a problem going on in media where ppl try so hard to be original with their ideas by combining multiple influences yet end up making things with no cohesion or real point. at times, this is a tragic aronofsky movie where i question if most scenes are meant to be funny or not. at times, this is an exploitative troma movie with satire that's as subtle as a kick in the teeth. it sucks at being both…

  todd phillips' blair witch 2. a fever dream that was pretty much forced into existence thru studio pressure and actively hates its audience while still bothering to do something new. honestly, directors should make more "fuck you" sequels. it's more interesting than just succumbing to fan service. maybe this will be more understood with time.

  UPDATE : yeah so the more i think about this movie, the more i appreciate it. gotta up the score.

  Once Upon a Studio 2023

As soon as puberty began for Bobby, Disney wanted nothing to do with him anymore. After that, he was abandoned by Hollywood completely and was left dealing with ridicule and drug addiction. Bobby died in an abandoned building unknown with no identification.

  And they had the balls to reuse his voice. All for a completely soulless short that's just Foodfight! for people who genuinely think things were better when things were worse. Damn.
