I don't remember if I mentioned this in my Practical Magic review thread, but another reason why I didn't like the romance subplot in the movie is before the kissing scene, the love interest spent most of the time being like "these 2 ladies definitely have something to do (cont)

with this man's disappearance. or maybe they murdered him?? I have to find out if they did!". and then suddenly he fell for Sally because the plot needed him to at that point. the movie was really like "well... he's obv the guy from her spell. that's all you need, right?" 🙃

Back then, whenever I saw people made jokes about throwing a book at the wall in a review of a book they didn't like, I used to think like "is the book really that bad?"
And then I read The Scorch Trials & The Death Cure from The Maze Runner trilogy 🫠

Both The Scorch Trials and The Death Cure are both the worst books in the trilogy, but The Death Cure is just 🥴 it's the writing, it's Thomas being the first character who managed to piss me off so bad. It was the first time I was actually tempted to throw a book at the wall.

i seriously cant wait for this company to be destroyed as a punishment for what theyve done to make our lives so much worse
Seeing someone say that The Scorch Trials and The Death Cure movies are game of thrones season 8 levels of bad is so funny. Like man, if anything, the movies saved the story from being worse. Am I saying that The Maze Runner movies are good? No. But saying that they (cont)

"The Maze Runner movies are bad. the books are way better"
You mean the books that are like 'I have no idea how to write the 2nd and 3rd book, so I'm just gonna recycle stuff from the 1st one. How would I end the story? Idk I'd just throw things at the wall & see what sticks 🤪'

after hearing many people whine about how the movies made Ron Weasley look bad, it's nice to see someone talk about how awful his character can be
and you can't use "you don't like him only bc of the movies!" this time bc she only referenced the books 🤷♀️

"But can't AI just be used to complete unimportant backgrounds or clean up animation?" No. Those are entry level positions that turn into long careers. Bg painters become art directors. Clean up artists become animation leads. Stop trying to cheat.

“So it’s fucking worth it”
Almost killing your actor is not worth anything, this isn’t something that should be praised, clearly something in regards to planning and safety went wrong and definitely needs to be looked into!!!
Zach Cregger says Austin Abrams nearly died during a stunt for 'Resident Evil' 🧟♂️
• He wanted to avoid VFX for a scene involving zombies exploding after jumping from buildings
• They used cranes with 150 lb 'body-sized blood bags' of liquid, one was accidentally released too early and came inches from hitting Abrams
• The take was used in the film
• Tons of rehearsal had been done in preparation
“If he had been one step to the right, it would've killed him ... [The shot is] in the movie ... so it’s fucking worth it ... I was pretty stunned"

Directors and actors love to turn abuse and negligence into cute stories where they want people to believe that an actor, stuntman, or crew member almost dying and in some cases actually dying, is worth it for "the shot." It's BS and makes me never want to see that project.
