The Social Dilemma - 8 of 10 (great doc which made me feel even better that I deleted Twitter 3 years ago)

I'm Thinking of Ending Things - 8 of 10 (I don't know if this movie completely worked but I've been thinking about it a lot since I watched it)

I’m banned from Twitter. I was told I’m hateful.

The only aspect of Dark Fate that i liked was the one scene that depicts Sarah Connor at a beach bar looking like she did during T2. A long lingering shot that had me thinking 'how? ..how did they do that?'. My eye can normally detect CGI when it comes to human faces. On that occasion, they knocked it out the park.

Did you get any errors? I read that there are a couple of discs that had a problem. They’re aware of the problem and are going to replace them at no cost to the customer. You have to fill out a request to get the replacement discs. I already put in for mine. Here’s the link to the article. It has the link that gives you the link to request the replacements.

Friday the 13th (1980) - I really enjoyed this, I haven't watched it in ages but it was better than I remembered. They did a really good job with the killer POV in this one, it sort of reminded me of a giallo movie in that regard, and it worked really well for the big killer reveal at the end. There weren't too many scenes with gore, but the scenes that had gore were exceptionally well done, not a surprise considering it was done by gore master Tom Savini. I gotta say I really like the campground setting for horror movies, camp Crystal Lake was perfectly done with a lot of atmosphere. I also thought it was cool that there was mainly only music when the killer was stalking somebody or present, it added to the suspense - 8.5/10

Friday the 13th: Part 2 (1981) - this movie is the first adult appearance of Jason in the series and the start of him as the killer. The first thing he does is go after the final girl from the first movie for reasons clear to anyone who has seen part one (the final girl actress from the first movie was supposed to be in all the Friday the 13th movies but after the first movie someone began stalking her and she was so terrified she didn't want to do anymore after part 2) Although Jason doesn't have his trademark hockey mask in this one (he gets that in part 3) I felt the sack worked well and was visually creepy. Another cool thing about this one is Jason actually runs in this movie, im assuming because this is when they were still trying to figure out what Jason would be, ultimately of course he ends up a lumbering unstoppable force of nature, but in this one hes more just deformed mountain man which was a cool idea, especially to see how he evolved as a character over the movies. Interesting to note, this movie doesn't follow the typical horror sequel formula by having more gore than the first, the producers specifically asked for less gore in part 2. There are deleted scenes of "long lost" gore in part 2 that were released officially for the first time in this new box set, but sadly its VHS quality and not cut into the movie, its only special features. Overall this was a really good sequel that moved the series in an entirely new direction after the first - 8/10

The Bride. 6.5/10
Wasn't terrible, wasn't really good either. It was the 80's and Beals was hot.
