Venom 2 Is An Absolute Mess That I Really Liked.

Venom 2 is an absolute mess that I really liked.

... that's basically all that needs to be said. It was fun, and the post credit scene was dope.

My internal debate as a G.I.Joe fan watching Snake Eyes:

Me: ...

My brain: ...

Me: Well, I like the acting. Henry Golding is doing a surprisingly good job as Snake Eyes

My brain: Dude-

Me: And the action is kinda good! Bit too reliant on the shaky cam, but the final action scene is pretty solid!

My brain: Dude-

Me: And Scarlet and Baroness are here, and done pretty well! And they're setting up for future movies, that oughta be really cool-

My brain: Dude, you tore Black Widow a new one and it has a lot less problems then this movie.

Me: ... FUCK, you're right.

Me:

Happy Halloween, everyone.

In honor of the spooky day, I'm gonna give you some underrated Halloween recommendations.

1. Tucker and Dale vs Evil

This is admittedly one that a lot of people are learning about more and more, but for good reason. It's damn good. It's a hilarious deconstruction of slasher tropes, and once you get past all the blood and gore (or maybe you're into that, who knows) you actually have a pretty nice romance. And this is coming from someone who normally dosen't care about romances in movies. Highly recommend.

2. Scooby Doo: Camp Scare

Out of all the Scooby Doo direct-to-dvd movies, the best... is Zombie Island. We all know that. But I really like camp scare as well. It's Scooby Doo doing an 80's slasher movie (AKA: mainly Friday the 13th), just making it kid friendly. And since I love 80's slashers AND Scooby Doo, this is a no brainer to like.

Plus the song at the beginning is a banger.

3. Horror of Dracula

Now this one really isn't underrated, with how popular Dracula is, but I feel like this is a version that's barley talked about. Is it the most accurate to the source material? No, probably not, and it's not as iconic as the original 30's version admittedly, but this does have my all time favorite showdown between Van Helsing and Dracula, so that's gotta count for something.

4. Literally the entire Re-Animator series

Re-Animator is one of the most underrated 80's horror franchises, in my humble opinion. The body horror is insane, they're actually pretty funny in a dark comedy way, and Herbert West is far and away the most underrated horror character of all time. In my opinion he's up there with Freddy Kruger and Ash Williams in terms of "best horror characters who run their mouths".

His insane drive to beat death is... well, insane (coulda worded that better) and Jeffery Combs gives him such a great character in all three movies. Highly recommend all of them.

5. The Frighteners

Of all the horror movies that have cult followings, I'm shocked this one never gets brought up. If you don't know what this is, Micheal J. Fox plays a psychic who can see ghosts and uses that to con people, but soon finds a really big, bad ghost terrorizing the town, and he's the only one who can stop it.

It's has R. Lee Ermy in it, Jeffery Combs, it's a pretty dark and inventive movie, there's a lot of really cool twists and turns, I just- this movie is so good, you guys. I highly, HIGHLY recommend it.

And those are some Halloween movie recommendations. If you take my advice and watch any of these, or if you've seen 'em already, let me know what you think.

'Till next time.

Minus The Batman, Lightyear is unironically my most anticipated film of 2022.

Like, I'm a Buzz Lightyear whore, so of course I'm down with this. But I also like the idea of Pixar doing more of a sci-fi action movie, rather then their usual affair. I think it could be really cool.

And I'm glad their doing this instead of just yet another Toy Story movie (even though I'm sure that's gonna happen at some point) but Lightyear, just... yes, all of it, in my face, now.

This is shitpost tier casting and I am so fucking excited.
