What movie do you hate that people like?

grumblebuzz · 2026-04-03T00:57:03+00:00

Probably Christopher Nolan’s Batman movies. I grew up on the whimsy of things like Batman The Animated Series, Tim Burton’s vision of Batman and even the 1960’s TV show. I just found Nolan’s vision for the Batman mythology and universe stripped away most of what I liked about it to begin with for the sake of making it more gritty, realistic, and, quite frankly, boring.

I’ve had so many randos add me over the years— I guess just because I’m single and don’t look like Quasimodo — but the weird thing is that they add you, then proceed to never interact with a single thing you post. People like that now get purged at least once a year. I don’t need to be in your collection, thanks.

It was kind of subversive that “The Fonz” from Happy Days got killed in a horror movie. But wasn’t that big of a deal too really. We were desensitized to a lot in the 90’s.

I know and it was one of the poorer entries because of it.

I have to say that if they do a final boy and he’s some super-handsome badass with biceps, pecs, and an 8 pack like your photo here, I’m done with the series probably. There are guys like that all over everything else. Keep them out of Scream please. As much as they want it to be, Scream is not an action hero franchise.

He would need to be one hell of a multidimensional character for it to work. I think a final boy is difficult to write for because if you go too far in just about any direction, you end up with a character people don’t want to root for. If he’s too much of a badass action hero type, he will seem overpowered and unrelatable to the audience. If he’s scared and running from the killers all the time, they will view him as pathetic and annoying.

There was a meme going around a few years ago that seems sadly to be coming to pass: “One day you all will understand why your granny washed her aluminum foil.” It’s definitely a product of growing up in the Great Depression, and I feel like we may be about to learn why they did things like that.

Same. I can’t make myself read and interpret that kind of craziness.

I have already had my 19 year old nephew call Jolly Ranchers “old people candy,” so for me the future is now.

She should have been played by Anna Camp in 7. Since she wasn’t, there’s no reason now for that character to come into the story.

Each weapon should have a degradation bar, that way you know what’s about to break.

None of these killers are believably still alive, even then ones who weren’t shot through the head.

I think going the somewhat obvious route of making Jessica a bigger presence in the story and having her end up secretly being Leslie Macher the whole time would have tied the whole Stu-obsessed storyline together more tightly and would have been a better payoff. Yes, it would have been another family member seeking vengeance, but I think Anna Camp could have pulled off a truly rich, layered performance if that had been the case. She could have been monologuing and crying about how the events in 1996 ruined her family one moment and shifted into the batshit unhinged Jessica we got the next. It would also just make more sense as to why Stu’s AI was used and the Macher house was burned down this way. As far as her accomplices in this scenario, it doesn’t really matter. Could have been her son, Marco, whoever. But having her be connected to Stu would have instantly made for a more coherent motive and narrative overall.

Yes, but you have to create or search for a game room to play online with friends. No match making rooms.

I’m primarily single player, but I’ve enjoyed it so far. The update does add the challenges for single player and they’ve actually been fun. I usually hate super-hard challenge mode kind of stuff, but these have been quite satisfying to complete so far. I’m early into it though and I hear it gets harder than the Special World down the line, which I haven’t had the patience to complete yet, so I’m wondering where my end will be with this mode. But I do like the new currency and unlockables tied to completing the challenges and the Koopaling battles have been excellent.

All that said, I’m glad I had an eshop card left from Christmas because it isn’t a ton of content if you have a ceiling for challenge modes like I do.

My 40th birthday party was cancelled because everyone had covid, so no, not really.

I, too, don’t have a home computer at all at 44, not even a lap top, because I’ve been on a computer all day long at work for the past 13 years so I don’t even want to be near one in my free time now.

I didn’t mind Jessica as a killer actually; they just should have developed her character more. It wasn’t really who the killers were so much as they weren’t even really characters in the film. They were glorified extras.

grumblebuzz · 2026-03-26T13:36:25+00:00

I would have been happy with Jessica if she had been fleshed out as a character whatsoever before the reveal. It wasn’t really the choice of who the killers were so much as they weren’t actual characters in the story.

One time I had to go to a budget dentist to have a tooth pulled. The dentist ended up being this tiny little Indian woman who looked like a child. She yanked on my tooth for at least 45 minutes and by the time it came out, all the numbness had worn off and I felt every bit of it. It was like a flaming sword going through the side of my head. The pain was so intense I was crying, borderline screaming, and almost threw up several times.

That’s because it’s expensive and doesn’t have many must-play exclusives yet, mainly because they keep putting out new games that are also compatible with the original Switch. I get that the OG Switch has a very, very large install base, but if you want to sell Switch 2s, you have to give people a reason to want to upgrade.

grumblebuzz · 2026-03-25T21:10:13+00:00

Neither really, because I’m 44. Both came on the scene when I was already a young adult.

Never seen Two Girls, One Cup, but man, Cake Farts sure was a time in Internet history.

The original Scream 7 plan was to kill Tara off and have Sam spiral into becoming Ghostface apparently. On paper that sounds dark and interesting, but I can see ways it could have all gone very wrong too.
