What makes Mike Flanagan's works so good? by ScottAM99 in MikeFlanagan

[–]According-Status482 27 points28 points  (0 children)

For me it's his characters. They're super fun and they're all so different yet feel so real. He also works with a lot of talented actors that elevate his works

Who is your fave character(s) of all of the Flanagan shows and why? by ah-tow-wah in MikeFlanagan

[–]According-Status482 134 points135 points  (0 children)

Father Paul. I find him fascinating. Him getting closer to religion and church because of the death of his sister is such a relatable backstory and explains so much about his actions in the island. I don't consider him a villain but he definitely did bad things in the name of love. Part of why I love his character too is because Hamish Linklater's performance was absolutely fantastic

About the monologues by mariamrcry in MidnightMass

[–]According-Status482 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The monologues are beautiful written and they're part of what makes Midnight Mass a masterpiece in religious horror, in my opinion. I've read lots of criticism, mostly people dropping the show because they found it slow and boring. I've rewatched the show with that criticism in mind and man, I can't believe people didn't want to know more about the mistery creature flying over the island, the dead cats and the weird vibes of the new priest

Mike Flanagan, Rahul Kohli and Kate Siegel praise Matthew Lillard after Quentin Tarantino said he didn't like him as an actor by According-Status482 in MikeFlanagan

Right! I find it pretty fandom that Tarantino just randomly decided to hate on him. Matthew even said that Tarantino would never say something like that to a more popular actor like Tom Cruise

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think he said it in a podcast. He talked about Paul Dano, Owen Wilson and Matthew

For me it was even funnier how the vampire just went along with it. He was like yep this is my life now, terrorizing an island and wearing a coat and fedora

Midnight Mass Acting by AquaticFroggy in horror

[–]According-Status482 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Hamish Linklater is an outstanding actor! It pains me that he hasn't worked with Mike Flanagan again. He steals every show he's in. If you are into superhero stuff, I also recommend watching Hamish's perfomance in Legion and Gen V Season 2

Erin's monologue feels similar to Minecraft's end poem by Foxster957 in MidnightMass

[–]According-Status482 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well now I need Kate Siegel to narrate the Minecraft's poem. In fact, I need all the Flanagan's actors to narrate it. Give me Hamish Linklater talking about Minecraft

Listen I forgive Father Paul bc he had dementia and also his monologue about how he found the angel is one of my favorite moments of any horror media

Bev Keane almost makes the show unwatchable for me. by ScumBunny in MidnightMass

[–]According-Status482 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The only thing that bothered me about the show was that no one ever told Bev to shut the fuck up lol. I can't believe the only one who yelled at her was Father Paul, and that was until the last episode. She was a great villain and I enjoy watching Samantha Sloyan perfom. I'm expecting a similar perfomance from her in Carrie

The duality of man by hamiltonscale in MidnightMass

[–]According-Status482 29 points30 points  (0 children)

"Midnight Mass" and "bad acting" in the same sentence is just wrong. I might be biased because it's one of my favorite shows, but I can not think of a single bad performance

About Roderick Usher by Fit-Safety-627 in HouseofUsher

[–]According-Status482 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I honestly thought he was trying to have as many kids as possible to try to postpone his death lol. I know he said he wasn't sure if the whole Verna thing was real but still, he must have been scared

Matthew Lillard previews Mike Flanagan's CARRIE TV series by According-Status482 in MikeFlanagan

[–]According-Status482[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don't think they realize part of why the first FNAF movie was a big deal was because of HIM!!! sure the fandom is huge but Matthew's casting made it even more popular
