The Thing is one of my favorite horror movies of all time. It has aged so well despite being over 40 years old. Why is that? Let's dive in.

    I thought the Batman was spectacular, saw it in the theater twice. I’ve watched it 4 or 5 times now and there’s always something new or different to appreciate. I’ve loved Batman the detective my whole life and this is the one and only Batman film that captures that angle of his identity in the way it was depicted in the best comics. Sorry you didn’t appreciate it, but we are agreed that Penguin was next level greatness.

    I was 7 when i saw this in the theater and i remember leaving in disbelief. Was Han Solo dead? Darth Vader is Lukes father? And when Rerurn of the Jedi came out i had to wait a good 2 weeks to see it and we waited 6 hours in line to see it. Looking back, what was nice, nobody gave spoilers. It was this unwritten rule not to give out much info, other than, the ending was crazy good.

      So I thought it was good, but didn’t love it to the same level most people did. I’ll try to keep it concise because I could go on for a while but I liked a lot of things about it, such as the acting, cinematography, and score. Most of my issues come down to the plot structure, plot armor, and tacked on 4th act.

      Huh? First off, I said “one of”, which if you watched the show, that’s undeniably true. Secondly, I don’t like when people just dismiss a property because it’s based off a comic. It’s just a great show, with great writing and performances, comic property or not. I’m convinced you didn’t even watch it.

Had the pleasure of showing a friend this movie for the first time and it was almost as fun as seeing it for the first time myself, especially during the defibrillator scene! This movie takes all of the ingredients for a good and engaging film, and weaves them together with the hand of an expert craftsman. From the writing, action, cinematography, practical effects, and more i can't list off, you get this feeling of authenticity. That the people who worked on the project genuinely cared, and put their love into their slice of production. Such a cool film, thank you for sharing!

    I absolutely love these movies (and I grew up with original Star Wars, being born in 88 and my dad being a huge SW fan). That being said, the prequels are my most watched Star Wars. Phantom Menace is my most watched of them all. It’s a comfort film as well as background noise for me when I need it Also, Darth Jar Jar… look it up. It’s genius. As for Anakin being Whiney or whatever, you covered it but also, Luke was nothing but a whiny bitch all through A New Hope Oh, and it is my firm opinion that Qui Gon let himself die so that Obi Wan would take up the training of Anakin. Qui Gon himself said the counsel wouldn’t let him train Anakin, and as we find out: Qui Gon knew how to be a ghost

    SPOILER SERIOUSLY DO NOT READ if you haven't seen the movie First I agree 100% that this is one of the most underrated movies ever. I suspect that one possible reason it didn't get traction is the title, 'Frailty.' Not only is it a word that just loosely applies to what the story is about (I guess), but it's also not a very memorable word. I have literally struggled to remember it numerous times when I wanted to recommend it to someone, and mind you I LOVE it and have seen it at least 4 or 5 times. But funnily enough, the ending kind of irritated me the first time. - By the time it got to the end, I was PLENTY horrified enough by the idea of children being stuck with only one living parent, who seemed very loving and steady but then one day snapped and began putting them through the terror of his madness. And I found it extra scary (and believable) that the younger son could go along with it, first as sheer coping mechanism, and then as full-on 'folie a deux' insanity with his dad. So when it was revealed that the dad's vision and mission was REAL, I dunno, it just struck me as hokey, almost Christian propaganda-y. But it was so well-made overall that I was compelled to watch it again, I think less than a year later, and the ending grew on me.
