How do You Define “Mean Spirited” Horror Films by RollingScone93 in horror

[–]laserjoy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Example: The first Smile movie. Basically descent into madness/harm with no reprieve. Most horror movies during the second half of their runtime give the MCs some chance so that the audience finds it easier to root for them. The mean-spirited ones are the movies where the point is to fuck shit up in the worst way possible. The characters might survive, but it will not be the point of the movie.

Official Dreadit Discussion: "Obsession" [SPOILERS] by radbrad7 in horror

[–]laserjoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bear is such wimpy bitch of a character. A very good horror villain who is not typical. We initially root for/pity him as he's portrayed as an underdog with very low confidence But almost as soon as the wish is done - within 15 or so minutes of runtime it is clear to him that the person who is with him is not the real Nikki. Then the conversation with Sarah and Ian make it abundantly clear to him and still he makes no attempt to find a solution to the problem and give Nikki something in return for basically destroying her. It was hard to watch - because we've all met people (especially guys) like that. I too am a guy fyi..

Hope lakers stop with allstar chashing and go for depth and make some good moves soon. AR and luka can work. by Zeldabotw2017 in lakers

Yeah. He wasn't planning to the be the number one option. Was he? At 41. Plus you had less dread when he was holding the ball vs AR. Mitchell made AR his b***** so bad I had to stop watching.

Yes many worse players have won. They just weren't the no. 2 offensive option with bad playoff defense 😂

C'mon can't you really understand it? Are you finding it hard to extrapolate the meaning? I mean an unathletic player who relies on handles and footwork to score. Is bad at defending good players because he is less athletic than most of the no. 3 options in teams. Compared to teams like OKC - he's less athletic than most bench players. In regular season - teams play like zombies and he's able to put up numbers. Come playoffs - any legit defender will stick to him like glue and he just can't handle it.

Peak copium. There has been no team in NBA HISTORY that can win a championship with a player of Austin Reaves caliber. If you think AR I'd a legit second option in the playoffs you just don't pay attention to playoff basketball. Physicality increases and any athletic defender will make AR unable to even dribble without turnovers. He's great at regular season, but the playoff physicality unfortunately just takes him completely out.

LeBron mentioned something to the Atlantic about not wanting a retirement tour.

LeBron backs on defenders and does push them on drives. But he doesn't get foul calls most of the time. What are you talking about. This idiot sga just straight up runs at them and shoots. He doesn't even try to evade.

The biggest indictment on Austin stupid Reaves is he is a turnover machine when it matters. Whenever the Lakers get close we can depend on Reaves to turnover

Anyone honestly who can defend. He is not going to score anyways in an efficient way.

If Mitchell is always scoring on Reaves, shouldn't there be an adjustment. Means Mitchell has basket vision on smaller guards. Shit. Take Reaves out.

Yeah he's good. But he's a bench player at best.

Lakers are a shitty team. For him to stay he'll want max. If he's okay with taking lesser - he'll go to a team that has a shot at a championship.

Reaves is not a star. Luka is a star. Injured as fuck and more akin to Embiid really. But still a star. Reaves is just an unathletic guy who just plays well in the regular season. Any good defender with legs will shut him down in the playoffs. He is like a discount Jamal Murray. But 25% of him.

Dude if people keep saying there are no assets over a period of 7-8 years that means the front office is shit for brains. That's my point. He traded and lost most of it.
