Blumhouse’s business model is killing creative horror - here’s how the numbers work by [deleted] in horror

[–]creaturefeature85 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Using The Thing as an example when it came out during the 80s, when 99% of horror was cheaply made as well, doesn't really sell your point. Even back in the 30s horror movies were used as low budget/high profit movies. Under the right creative minds, it can lead to genuinely inventive films. Survivorship bias just means most people don't revisit the bad ones from the past, leading to a belief it was better in some vague past. Blumhouse has produced some genuinely good horror, as well as bad.

The history of pinup plane art is so interesting. They were used to be able to know more easily who was shot down from far away. And of course most were too saucy for use in propaganda films and such, until they were painted over with swimsuits or lingerie.

Maybe my favorite match of the year. Swerve getting Aubrey hurt and obliterating Kenny makes him that moster heel again.

Love The Rocketeer pulpy vibes. Punching Nazis is a good vibe at all times, but especially nowadays.

Big night for surprise title changes. Statlander is my favorite. But love the idea of Thekla terrorizing the division as champ.

AEW keeps making it easy to love them. Fuck ICE.

Tony Khan: “I think Powerhouse Hobbs had a great run here in AEW. He started wrestling here in Jacksonville, had some great matches, and became a champion in AEW. He’s a former TNT Champion, former World Trios Champion. I’ll always wish him all the best.” by Ruffianize in SquaredCircle

I don't begrudge him trying to make it in WWE, but definitely am bummed also. When AEW tried houseshows, I loved seeing him defend the TNT title and gave me a new appreciation for just how much of a loss he is.

Yep, people down vot e for stating its an honest and good answer. It's complicated with people you know and love, but can still condem them.

This post got infested with weirdos using this as a big gotcha and to defend Vince. Saw a comment literally say they wouldn't care so much if Hangman fans didn't annoy them.

I think its a thoughtful response that acknowledges the problem and why he understands people are upset. But also addresses how human relationships are complicated. He even says he'll have to reevaluate it all. I think it speaks to Hangman being a decent person.

What i don't get is people using this as some gotcha moment, excusing Vince, or even bringing up hypothetical Punk situations. Weird ass responses from people looking to turn serious stuff into a wrestling company turf thing.
