Skinamarink Explained (JK I won’t do that)
I’ve been gone a while but that’s just because I’ve been Skinamrink’d.
Anyway...
What is this movie?
It was a viral sensation for a little bit before it hit Shudder and limited theatres (I saw it in theatres last night). Some people will say “know nothing about it, just watch it” so stop reading if you wanna do that.
It’s about two kids in a house looking for their parents and stuff around their house, such as windows and doors, start disappearing. It’s graiy as hell.
How scary is it?
I was scared. The whole time? No, I zoned off quite a bit, coming up with great ideas for personal projects, because man this movie goes on. Let it be known I did not take out my phone. But there were a few times that got me good, and I was scared later that night, and the story is scary to think about in hindsight. 8.5/10
Jump scares or nah?
A few, good ones. Cleared my sinuses.
On a scale of 1-10 (10 being Halloween Kills), how dumb were the characters?
They are kids! It’s also a weirdly told story so it’s hard to gather just how smart these children are.
Does the story make logical sense if you think about it too long?
This movie’s a good argument for me to get rid of this little section all together. It operates on a nightmare logic.
Overall
Ooh, this one is polarizing and I see why. My tattoo artist liked it, but she also said she liked boring movies. Unless you have the attention span of like, someone in the middle ages who threw around rocks for fun, you’ll be bored, but that’s kind of okay. Some guy blurted out at the end, “I should get an award for sitting through that.” It doesn’t reveal much about the characters, the setting, but for this I’m not sure it matters. Could it have been shorter? At least by 20 minutes. Did I appreciate it? Yeah, it’s so different from every other thing I’ve seen, and my mind can entertain me well enough for the brief lulls. It creates a vibe through basically grainy still footage and sounds.
And It’s scary. It pulls you into its liminal space. Confounds you a bit. It kind of lulls you in and then there are a few moments that oof. It really does feel like a childhood nightmare, so big kudos to the team for doing that. Anyways, it’s an original, go see it. Or don’t, you might straight up hate it. 7/10

Dirk getting sent badly written mlp fan fiction repeatedly: is it. i hadnt noticed.
thank you for holding my hand
It kind of sucks that there are still self-described activists who don't understand that privilege isn't "either you have it or you don't" and that it's actually a lot more complex than that, and that having privilege isn't putting yourself on a step ladder of most to least oppressed.
Ex. if one person is straight and disabled, and another person is gay and able-bodied, the straight person still has the privilege of being straight and the able-bodied person still has the privilege of being able-bodied. It's not a contest... It's a litany of systemic issues that influence each person's life differently. Both of these people have privileges, and these don't disappear because one persons or the other's life is seen as harder for their marginalization.
It's so tiring to see posts that say "well how could this person be privileged, they're [gay/trans/poor/a poc/disabled etc]?" because the privilege that matters in that conversation is going to depend a lot on the context of what is being disputed.
( Now if I see any of y'all going like this:
We cant be friends. Gtfo like are you srs bob in this AU is fucking 40 you are literally trying to ship this fucker with a 15 YEAR OLD GODDAMN GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER AND STOP SIMPING FOR BOB )
