There are a lot of reasons I liked GOAT.

One of them is because it’s a movie about a co-ed, full-contact sport where the most legendary player is a woman. And a young boy is seen idolizing that woman so much it’s a defining part of his character, but no one ever gives him grief or says he should look up to a boy.

Sure they’re all animals but I still appreciate the message.

The funniest part of Sinners was when the Native Americans just said “yeahhh good luck with that”

One of the things that makes the family conflict in Lilo & Stitch work narratively is that Cobra is correct in that Lilo and Nani's current situation is non-sustainable. And yes, Nani is not prepared to handle everything by herself. But losing the custody is not the solution either, and to a degree Cobra seems to believe the same (he legit does not want that to happen), but if Nani can't solve the problem, then from his perspective it's the least harmful solution.

And the conflict is solved because what Lilo and Nani need (what they REALLY needed) is a support net. Someone, anyone to be there to take at least SOME of the burden from Nani and give her breathing room.

Which is why Jumba and Peakley joining the family alongside Stitch, and become a constant pressence who share the burden of the household, makes all the difference.

And this does not solve all the problems, because the movie is not about magically resolving those problems, it's about putting the characters in a situation in which they can move forward as a family. And for their desire to be a family and be together as a family, to be respected.

Anyway, someone told me what the remake did for the ending

“Every time I show the film – whether it’s to film students at USC or UCLA or I’m going to a festival – that’s always the first question: How did Kermit ride the bicycle? And my stock answer is: I put him on a three-wheeler until he got his balance, and then I put him on the two-wheeler.”

Which of these "horror movie protagonist" mistakes would you be most likely to commit?

Saying "Hello?" to a dark basement

Tripping over your own feet whilst escaping

Reading the Latin words out loud

Splitting up the group

Leaving the front door unlocked

Hiding under the covers as if they will somehow save you

Not putting your phone on silent whilst hiding

Not grabbing something to use as a weapon until the end

Breathing loudly whilst hiding

Not calling the police immediately

Following the creepy noises and shadows

Refusing to accept that something paranormal is happening
