taking a little break from watching movies on Tubi and decided to watch original Fright Night 2 that's on youtube.

Had to really dig/browse Youtube to find Fright Night 2 for free with ads of course.

its a same that the Menendez brothers had to screw everything for a planned Fright Night 3 back then

@LN78 Word seems to be that The Little Mermaid is just as creatively bankrupt as literally everybody expected but that Halle Bailey’s really good in it.

@nessisonett I want it to be a hit so all the idiot «get woke, go broke» automatons get one in the eye, but I also want it to be a flop so that Disney will knock it off with these utterly pointless live action remakes. I'm torn, Imbruglia style.

@FuriousMachine Kermode's review of Sucker Punch is my fave.

He has also done some documentaries on certain genres of films which are really good. He cleary knows his stuff. Not sure where you watch them however, as I don't think there are on BBC iplayer these days

@LN78 I think that’s basically my position on Disney in general. Like they’re obviously evil corporate overlords but they also inexplicably seem to be in the trenches when it comes to the very worst people.

@LN78 as regards the little mermaid, I can't speak for every dumb comment but I'd argue that yeah stories of mermaids and sirens and the like are stories about white people… in the same way i'd expect la llorona to be Hispanic — lore that is also not scientific.

But from what I've seen no amount of «correct» casting would save this dreadful looking film so it's really moot anyway. I just don't know who these remakes are for honestly.

@JohnnyShoulder I'll have a look on YouTube and the like and see if I can find them.
