the 90s didn't give a fuck about your face

Not mad but the same way Buffy’s spin-off ‘Angel’ ended it left me wanting more.
Bruce Campbell is a treasure. Only common “comic con person” I went to see twice.

Fuck yeah I have. I have the entire series saved ti my local server to watch often.
This series literally had so many episodes that were directed by every top director in the 80s/90s it’s utterly fucking ridiculous.
Actors punching way below their rate just because they loved the premise.
One of the ways David Ellison can earn my respect with his purchase of HBO is completely remastering this in 4K with HDR.
Two episodes in. Emilia Clarke still can't act but am definitely enjoying it.
Haha....she's the producer on this show. I had fun watching.

It Comes at Night.
Psychological horror. A deadly pandemic forces two families together, and you learn that people are worse than the disease.
The family journey feels a little underdeveloped: they interact positively for relatively little before it goes south into distrust.
My mild theory is that Joel Edgerton's son got the disease from the dog who got it from the grandfather, and his dream sequences are a mix of nightmares and sleepwalking (which is alluded to be one of the symptoms). But there are a lot of holes in that theory, as it is very unclear how the disease spreads, and along what timeline.
The juxtaposition of trust (Will) and suspicion (Joel) is stark and well done. But it does make you wonder what the "right" action is in a situation like this. Despite all their trust and their distrust, both families lose in the end.
I thought it was decent, but not great.

I am generally over Dwayne Johnson, who was mildly fun before he started taking himself too seriously. This is the best acting of his career, though I wouldn't call it amazing acting in the grand scheme of things. The movie feels like it intentionally subverts what you expect from a sports movie.
I liked it, but wouldn't call it amazing. I didn't realize Benny Safdie directed it; when he was in the store buying some trinkets, I felt it had an Uncut Gems vibe for reasons I couldn't place.

Including an anticlimactic final act that portrays his loss as freedom and relief. Then the little ending footage of the real Mark Kerr happily buying groceries.
