Of course I saw it. I will neither confirm nor deny I got a Boebert watching this last night at the AMC Southcenter but as that info isn’t really relevant it doesn’t matter. I am still trying to figure out how I feel about this movie. I think the acting was great. Kristin Stewart, Ed Harris, muscle chick all did great jobs. But is definitely a *weird* movie. Anyone else seen it? What did you think? Should it have been more realistic (thinking Vegas stage and giantess scenes) and why wasn’t it? What was the message? Is it just the more manly you become (by injecting male hormones) the more violent and assholish you become? Why was the Daisy miraculous revival/not the end of the movie? A day later and so many questions. Only the handy being good is a sure thing.
I saw it today, somehow managing to neither jerk off or pass out during. I liked it. I assumed both scenes were poetic symbolic expressions of actual events. Like they were emotionally realistic. The casual murder at the end was sort of a nice "life goes on" moment. Not for the victim, of course.
Anything that gets more than just lipstick lesbians that exist to titilate straight men on screen is fine by me Love to see Kristen Stewart come into her own as a queer icon despite getting her start in the most cishet movie franchise playing the only actual Mary Sue character to exist in this century.
You may have seen on Facebook, I finally binged the Twilights on a self-dare. I was disappointed they weren't worse. I was hoping for the cinematic equivalent of the hot chip challenge. I mean, they weren't GOOD, but I've seen WAY worse. Hell, my mom's 80's soaps were worse.
I found twilight watchable, while oddly not finding harry potter watchable. They were a generic take on the old vampire trope. I think I appreciated them more because I can enjoy the same trope with different characters as I do with magical girl, harem, and isekai anime. Twilight is to vampires what a new superhoro is to comic books. This one was very teenbait for the generation. It exploded a few actors onto the scene and made a lot of money giving teen girls and gays some vampire and werewoof hotties to ship to.
I mean....yeah, the directors and writers involved didn't exactly have much to work with, especially with that last book. Much like Star Trek Enterprise being the best Trek we were ever gonna get at the time, there was no universe where these were gonna be Oppenheimer or Godfather type quality. (I'm barely on Facebook these days BTW) Re: Harry Potter specifically, the more I think on that series, I more I realize how utterly shallow that one all was. I wasn't even a HP basher pre-JKR turning TERF, but HP is the only Chosen Child story I can think of in which the world was not substantially different at the end of the story than it was in the beginning and Harry himself is pretty passive, with Hermione and even Snape doing more heavy lifting than he does. JKR just happened to be at the right place at the right time in 1997, but even if she herself weren't an awful person, society should've grown past that series a long time ago.
