The ending? that was a cool way to end a movie?? why the fuck was that predator coming to give us that?
I can't keep the predator movies straight. The "Franchise" has always been shit. The first movie is the only good one*

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I hated it when i saw it back in the day. The scene with the Predator and the girl running together....my god. The good predator. Please.
Yeah, at this point this franchise is fucked. The last two really fuck it up. They could have gone with such a different angle, more close to a horror movie than this cartoon we got.

The Babadook came up on my queue last night. First time watch so it was appropriate for October. Some legit creepies but ultimately felt like empty calories.
Struggling to get through Hold the Dark. Really can’t wait for this modern cinematography trend of raised black levels and nonexistent contrast to end. This movie looks like shit.

That aside...lol....is it any good? Or are visuals the only thing you care about?
