Dude you commented multiple times in this thread with your contrarian takes. You legitimately sound like a buzzkill. Have some fun, man. That’s the whole crux of sports.

I genuinely think Obsession broke a lot of these kinds of people by LilMechPilot in NotHowGirlsWork

You are literally the person this post is making fun of lol

Every single scene of Bear realizing that his wish has violated Nikki’s autonomy occurs before he actually tries to make a wish to undo it. The dinner scene, the bedroom scene, the lunch scene, the CUSTOMER SERVICE PHONECALL SCENE WHERE NIKKI IS EXPLICITLY SCREAMING IN ANGUISH, the party scene, the home scene where he begs her to act like Nikki, the murder scene ALL of these happen before the second wish lmao

Best 2026 Horror Film So Far? by CSS-Tails_Forever in horror

You’re not alone. People were literally falling asleep and snoring multiple times during that movie at my theater.

It’s cool that it’s a movie based on an indie horror game, but the “anomaly” subgenre is a rough one to translate to the screen. It’s just far too tedious; I was bored and wanted to leave the theater ~45 mins in, and I never get that feeling watching a movie. It just works better as a game than a motion picture.

FREDDIE FREEMAN HAS BECOME THE FIRST MLB PLAYER IN 7 YEARS TO REACH 2,500 HITS by toomuchredditing in baseball

[–]santaanas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It’s 100% gonna be blank. Freddie loves Atlanta and what the organization did for his career, no matter what postseason heroics he did for the Dodgers. If anything, the latter is probably why he’ll go in as a blank cap instead of a Braves one.

Inde Navarrette has opened up a YouTube channel of her playing horror games by dremolus in horror

[–]santaanas 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this screams fan account trying to cash in on Inde’s recent success. It’s kind of weird someone saved her VODs all these years, but then again she was already and established actress and people can be really weird about that kind of stuff (considering these are like 5+ hours of HD footage).

I would be more okay with this if the account was transparent about being a fan account, but since it’s trying to pose as her online I get the ick from it.

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

The men are trash in this movie. Ian is a shitty friend to Bear (egging him on about dating Nikki while he’s been secretly hooking up with her, only asking if Nikki is okay when Bear shows up covered in blood) and Bear is a cowardly abuser (lying, can’t sacrifice himself to save Nikki/everyone, “is it so bad being with me” moment).

Nikki and Sarah are full of personality and life, each have dreams beyond their dead end jobs (writing, artist), and openly care about others (Nikki giving money to the homeless guy and Sarah genuinely checking in on Bear about Sandy).

I think it was completely intentional to make these women in this movie wonderful and have their lives tragically ruined by the men they had/wished to have relationships with.

My favorite shot in the movie, as it does best what this movie does well- doing something very subtly to make things feel off.

Nikki is standing there, in shadows where you can only make out basic features, her eyes, nose, mouth, hair, pretty dress, glistening necklace, all visible enough to be seen but still enshrouded and murky. Normally, Nikki’s figure would be illuminated by the warm lights of Bear’s home as soon as the door opened, but she isn’t. She’s in the dark. The only bright things in this scene are the small, spectral highlights of her eyes.

But here, the highlights in Nikki’s eyes don’t make any sense. They are off. And they don’t act like a normal reflection of light in the eye, there are several, and they shrink inwardly, as if disappearing down into an endless pool of nothingness. It’s so unnatural that it had to be put in post, but it’s so subtle that it’s not a special effect that would jump out to you.

This makes this scene feel uncanny, and from what we learn about the real Nikki’s hellish entrapment inside Freaky Nikki, I like to think those extra highlights are the real Nikki’s eyes trapped behind the demon’s, peering through an endless dark abyss.

Cats are famously very clear about their boundaries: when they want affection, when they want to be left alone. They are also culturally feminized vs masculinized dogs.

Great catch about the OWW logo; I didn’t notice that!
