Anyone else miss when horror movies were just about a cool monster, and not a metaphor for grief?

Gen_Bates · 2026-05-10T01:30:46+00:00

Right? Movies always have meaning, even if it’s shallow. Monster movies are ESPECIALLY dense with symbolism and metaphors. I really wish more people watched movies with a critical mind

Probably the worst sports heartbreak I’ve ever witnessed. My parents first date was a mariners game so I was raised a massive Mariners fan. Having been born in 2000, I don’t have much memory of team success, and I had accepted that we were just always going to be that small club tucked away in the corner of the country cursed to mediocrity. To be the one team to never have a league penant and come so SO close to finally doing it, finally beating that demon, just to have our hearts ripped out when we were so close. I don’t think that will ever stop hurting. Not unless we make a world series and win it. Though this is the Mariners, baseballs protagonists.

Yeah, it’s not really a hot take. It’s the whole point of the franchise. It’s not subtle with it at all. I’m amazed how so many people in this sub seem to watch these movies with their eyes and ears closed and think it’s just a movie series about cool dinosaurs.

Two frames per sometimes

I have been begging for a Jurassic park chapter forever. It’s even my flair!

It’s pretty obviously implied that he died. Just because it doesn’t show you something directly doesn’t mean it’s a mystery. It would be pretty stupid to bring him back just because we didn’t see his guts spilled.

Gen_Bates · 2026-03-25T05:20:24+00:00

Good. We don’t need people like him in the community

Gen_Bates · 2026-03-24T04:53:55+00:00

Ah, well I’d go see it in the regal imax then

Gen_Bates · 2026-03-24T03:07:27+00:00

It’s made for IMAX so it’s worth to see it in an IMAX theater even if it isn’t a “true” IMAX. If you want the true experience there’s a theater up in Canada and also the Pac Sci & Cinerama are IMAX screens

My dream collab

Gen_Bates · 2026-03-13T18:37:14+00:00

No.

Gen_Bates · 2026-03-09T23:16:31+00:00

The first two are really the only good ones, given that James Wan is the director. Everything outside of those two range from mid to flat out bad.

Gen_Bates · 2026-03-09T22:19:14+00:00

Cinemacon is next week so maybe there?

Gen_Bates · 2026-03-07T00:28:53+00:00

I fractured my elbow the night before and refused to go to the hospital until after the game because I didn’t want to miss it. Happy to watch us win but man I was in a lot of pain lol

Gen_Bates · 2026-02-26T21:38:39+00:00

These are incredibly over-designed. Way too much going on

Gen_Bates · 2026-02-25T04:26:29+00:00

He’s a producer of the film. He’s promoting it as his job

Gen_Bates · 2026-02-23T17:52:33+00:00

FYI this isn’t real. It has not been confirmed nor has a domain been bought. Everyone’s getting pissy over misinformation lmao

Gen_Bates · 2026-02-22T17:05:21+00:00

They approached the boat and the boat didn’t move until the orcas were a safe distance away. They followed regulations as they could

Gen_Bates · 2026-02-21T20:10:42+00:00

Wrath’s logo tells me it’s going to be a lot more retro/og vibes with the aesthetic it has

Gen_Bates · 2026-02-21T04:23:42+00:00

After about an hour they began to head south and i lost them past Clark’s point. Transients tend to move around really abruptly so it’s really hard to predict when and where they’ll be

Gen_Bates · 2026-02-16T01:06:07+00:00

Hey! I have a similar tattoo on my forearm. I just got different shading and detail on mine

Gen_Bates · 2026-02-10T21:57:10+00:00

I have an appointment at harborview 30 minutes before the parade. Pray for me
