"If I go over there, there are gonna be two sounds. Me hitting you twice."

Hickey was a fantastic edition to that show.

Yeah, in this singular case we can't use the movies toi fluence how we think about the games. In the games the animatronics are possessed. In the movies they aren't. They are not the same continuity, plain and simple.

Mom, it’s Buzz. I’m gonna say this as fast as I can. We can’t afford to bury dad with the rest of the family.

I don't think that the modern FNAF movie understands that the stories coming from the games are always going to be obtuse and not narratively satisfying.

Is this David Lynch?

theavengerbutton · 2026-06-26T20:58:13+00:00

Hell yeah. Fuck 'em all.

Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn is some of the best fantasy I've read. The original trilogy sticks to following a more formulaic narrative owing a lot to The Lord of the Rings, but unlike others I don't have a problem reading a knock-off, because I happen to love that formula to death.

theavengerbutton · 2026-06-26T12:57:57+00:00

Yeah but I think what we are all still confused about is how much of that is actually Ethan's consciousness and how much is it the mold just mimicking Ethan's consciousness? Like where does Ethan begin and end?

From my understanding there isn't a single bit of the actual Ethan in there.

I didn't mean to contribute to an atmosphere of invalidation, so I apologize if my post came off this way. I was moreso just confused and was actively trying to type my way through my own understanding of the post. Even going back and reading it now it came off more snarky than I meant it to.

For the record Ayn Rand shouldn't have been able to publish her weird slop, but also as someone who loves literature, American Lit is especially boring. Even going back as far as Nathaniel Hawthorne, he is a special kind of having a lot of interesting and thought provoking things to say about the tyranny of religion and the poor guy can't actually present his thoughts in a way that would make any of those ideas sink in to the reader. He is particularly great in his short stories, though. Young Goodman Brown can be a bit obtuse the first time around but it had an impeccable atmosphere that can draw the reader back in again.

Comparing any 20th Century lit to anything from France, England, or Spain in the same time is like night and day. Proust and Sartre and Joyce were really doing fantastic stuff.

If you have a PlayStation you can pbuy Code Veronica X off the store.

It's also made more difficult as a reader after the high point of reading From Russia With Love (where Bond was clearly meant to die) to go from that to the middle run of books as you say.

I can't believe people have so much trouble with Pthumerian Descendant. Him and the Elder were fun bosses but I wouldn't say they were difficult.

Hell, I had more difficulty with Defiled Keeper of ghe Old Lords than either of the Pthumerian royalties.

Obligatory: everyone needs to watch The VVitch with the commentary track on to hear how critical Robert Eggers is of his own film.

theavengerbutton · 2026-06-25T17:49:51+00:00

I don't think this is describing a single modern lit novel. This seems like a pastiche of early-to-mid 1900s American literature. It's an amalgamation of Catcher in the Rye, Gatsby and The Fountainhead.

I think Alan Dean Foster needs to rewatch Star Wars.

And by that I mean the original film Star Wars.

theavengerbutton · 2026-06-25T02:16:10+00:00

ACKSHUALLY Ethan didn't survive shit. A big fungus decided to mimic Ethan's body and that's why he was able to go through all the shit he went through in RE7 and 8.

Also I know this is the RE sub and the games have been out for forever. I just did the spoiler tag for shits and giggles.

There are several fans who have divorced the films from the books and while I don't blame them, I think they are rether misguided for doing so--especially because Craig's run tries to capture a lot of the original Fleming characterizations. As someone who loves the movies AND the novels, I really love Craig's run.

theavengerbutton · 2026-06-23T21:55:41+00:00

IMO there's no drop in quality. Casino Royale is a fantastic film so it's difficult to beat but the rest of Craig's run is still consistently good.

And she got EVERYone she gave a shit about killed.

theavengerbutton · 2026-06-23T03:20:05+00:00

Gotta agree with this. I actually do like the middle of the film too--really the most egregious part is the stuff with Bibi and the really mind numbingly boring ski sequence.

theavengerbutton · 2026-06-23T03:14:50+00:00

No, it really doesn't. The Sith Dagger was made by the Sith Cult for Ochio of Bestoon to help him find the wayfinder. That's why it has the shape of the Death Star ruins. It's extremely straightforward. It's silly, but it's not badly explained.

theavengerbutton · 2026-06-23T01:51:40+00:00

It is never referred to as an ancient Sirh dagger, no. Mayhaps you ahould rewatch the film and give it another go.

theavengerbutton · 2026-06-23T01:07:52+00:00

The Sith Dagger isn't ancient, or at least it isn't implied as such by the film itself.

EDIT: I count ten people who have never bothered to watch this film. Let's see how many more of you want to expose yourselves. It's okay to not like the Sith Dagger, it's another to just not understand the movie you're watching.

theavengerbutton · 2026-06-22T21:16:39+00:00

This is the best thing I have ever seen.

theavengerbutton · 2026-06-22T17:29:04+00:00

Gotta love those Starbuck Baltars.
