I think I got pretty far into it before I got sidetracked and missed the last few episodes. It was okay. Not spectacular. It had some good horror elements in it though. Creativity in some parts but a whole lot of boring stuff in others.

If it were getting a second season, I'd be more inclined to finish it though.

I was ready to watch American Horror Story tonight but I just couldn't. The show is too bad. I skipped it. But I heard they managed to go in an even worse and uninteresting direction.

In a season named Apocalypse, it has turned into a female witches vs. male witches season. And man, it's not like I didn't already sit through this poorly written female vs. male bullshit last season already.

These writers had two good ideas for seasons and then absolutely nothing. They suck.

Everything about this season is the dumbest god damn thing.

At least the witches are here now to trivialize the idea of death and make everything frustrating and lame!

I am literally just here for Dylan McDermott and Connie Britton. That is all. Because god damn, everything in this season seems like it's going in double speed and absolutely nothing is compelling or interesting. It's marvelous how they manage this.

See, I thought that No End House introduced a lot of cool stuff, only to do absolutely nothing with it (the house was never actually used much at all). I also felt that No End House fell apart later on in the series, which is kind of what happens a lot of the time with this show, but I thought Butcher's Block stuck the landing and had the best ending. I thought it had the worst ending until I thought about it.

I like the beginning and middle of Candle Cove too much to put it lower than second. But I think that it fell apart a bit at the end.

I watched The New Daughter on Netflix.

It had parts that were genuinely really good. Like, they knew how to make a horror movie. Kevin Costner is in it and does an excellent job. The scares and tenseness are there for a lot of reasons, but the plot is held together by shoe strings and it's super distracting, especially by the end. The ending is both parts good and absolute shit. I feel like it's more shit because my immediate reaction was to hate it.

I probably do not recommend.

So I was re-watching the 1999 The Mummy movie. It's campy, but it's still a totally fun watch. In truth, my girlfriend and I have been waiting for it to come to some kind of service for a while since we rode the ride many times at Universal earlier this year.

But man, how do you look at the success of this movie and then make the latest The Mummy movie. Like what the hell. Why didn't they make another fun action/horror movie like this and try to kickstart their dumb Monsters Universe off like that. Focus on the heroes of these Monster movies rather than the monster, so it's a big, dumb, cool thing when the heroes all have to team up? Give each hero a different vocation for each movie like a scientist, police officer, archaeologist, etc. So they all have a role in the big team up.

I dunno, I think of what could have been and it's sad after watching something done so right with the Brendan Frasier Mummy movie.

I absolutely agree Cult had some good awful writing and dialogue. The last episode in particular was probably among the worst.

Also, it got renewed up until season 10, so it's here to stay. I literally only want to watch this season to see Dylan McDermott and Connie Britton.

The new American Horror Story has some of the worst dialogue and characterization ever and I'm only watching it to see the Murder House cast again.

They literally created a character and named him so they could do a line "The stew is Stu!" This is the most idiotic hack writing alive. How are they so bad. Holy shit.

The setting is good, but having the headmistresses expose to us in the first episode their big evil plans for making up the rules and being needlessly nefarious was ridiculous.

I have literally no faith in this season at all, but damnit if I don't want to see Dylan McDermott and Connie Britton again.

The Open House may be one of the worst horror movies I've ever seen. I don't care about spoiling it since it's so fucking bad, but the scene where the killer mounts the kid and takes out his contacts for no reason is the most unrealistic thing. The fact that everyone in the movie is a red herring and you are supposed to speculate who the killer was based on every potential suspect having only one scene in the movie is so stupid and insulting. And then the mother-son drama never resolves because the mom dies before it.

It is the worst home invasion movie and totally worth watching only if you want to see how someone could fuck that kind of movie up so bad.

I also don't understand giving Unsane's plot any kind of praise. The previews made it seem like a psychological film, the movie makes it seem like it, but then everything just turns out to be exactly as it seems and it's just a super generic and boring movie once you realize there is nothing psychological about it. Claire Foy is great in it though.

4. Insidious: The Last Key: I'll probably get hate for it, but I viewed this more favorably than some. Great monster design and good enough story.

I did not enjoy cleft lip key fingers as a monster. I thought this movie was really really bad though.

I more or less agree with the rest. I would give Annihiliation a bit more respect though. I thought it had some really strong horror elements at parts.

I think I would put Truth or Dare over Winchester though. Winchester was the most boring movie. My girlfriend and I usually chat it up about movies after we see something but Winchester is so devoid of any depth or intrigue and the plot is just so bland, there was just nothing to discuss.

Truth or Dare was at least horrible and easy to make fun of. I enjoyed it ironically even though the rules keep making no sense and breaking the one rule of Truth or Dare which is you can't dare someone to tell the truth about something. I'd rather watch a Truth or Dare than be bored to death during Winchester. Although Truth or Dare had some really boring parts.

The original The Strangers is actually a master class of horror movies as far as I'm concerned. It does a lot of really good and subtle stuff. It plays it very reserved for the most part so that when it comes time to really hit you hard, it is far more impactful. I highly recommend it. It isn't among the best, but it does everything in a horror movie almost perfectly for the slasher genre.

I watched Silent House last night because my girlfriend saw Elizabeth Olsen and wanted to see it. And I was like "how did a home invasion movie get 42% on Rotten Tomatoes."

And then about halfway through the movie I said "Okay, this is all a continuous shot movie, but that alone can't give it a decent rating." And then three quarters of the way through I said "Okay, so this must have a good ending then."

And the second that things start to go into motion for the ending, I knew exactly what was going to happen in every step and my girlfriend was flipping out and refused to believe I knew everything that was going to happen. Overall, not worth a 42% on Rotten Tomatoes but it was actually a decent watch but I could do without movies that you need to wait until the end for legitimately interesting stuff to happen.

I think I've seen too many horror movies now.

Is it worth going to it?

It's totally worth it to go to an NXT Takeover. If you're high up, you can still see the ring just fine. They have a giant screen above the ring you can glance to in order to get details.

Yeah, like I said. I'm tired being at odds with WWE's booking and constantly battling who they want me to cheer for. It's not even a thing where I want these brutal heels to be a face or anything. When you have a guy with an entertaining act that's perfect for being a face like Rusev Day, or someone who is so utterly unlikeable and stale like Roman Reigns and they refuse to listen to fans at all... It's just ridiculous and I don't understand why they fight it. Why can't they just work with the fans? Wouldn't that be easier? Imagine if we had Seth Rollins vs Brock Lesnar here. How fun of a match would that be where we could actually be on the same page and cheer for Seth Rollins to dethrone the Beast? Why can't they tell stories like this anymore? Instead we have to sit there and then watch a crowd riot against another Roman Reigns match and then feel nothing when Roman wins, because they made sure we can't even care about Brock at this point either.

Also I've had the WWE network since it's inception but it might be time to cancel.

I feel the same man. I am so far behind on everything else I watch that I don't watch NXT now and I don't even watch 205 Live anymore.

After Extreme Rules, I'm just so disappointed, and I just don't care about the product at all now with this Roman Reigns thing. It's incredible how much they have forced so many people into apathy with his push. If I want to watch a PPV, I'll just go to my one buddy's house. But man. This company is just doing nothing fun or interesting anymore. I can't think of a thing to be excited for.

They're even breaking up Rusev Day, an act we all just wanted to cheer for and hoped got turned to face and just got ignored and kept going on. I can't keep feeling like this fucking company actively refuses to give the audience what they want. I thought I'd be so excited for Daniel Bryan, but all we've gotten is fucking Big Cass from his return and Kane teaming with him again and then nothing. How did they fuck up Daniel Bryan coming back? I just can't care. This company cannot do anything right and refuses to just do things to entertain people. They couldn't do worse if they tried to at this point.

Not only did Reigns win, but Lashley shook his hand because Reigns clearly proved he was the better man

And while this was happening, commentary was fellat-... saying such gems as "It feels like Reigns should be champ right now!"

I can't believe they did this again. No amount of endorsement will ever get Roman over! Because people see through it and still think he sucks! And why would Lashley show Roman respect when Roman has never, not even after their last match, shown Lashley any sort of respect!? God, this is just insufferable.

I cannot believe they went with the absolute dirt worst option. I mean, I know if it were a triple threat it would just be Lashley and Brock doing the cool shit while Roman just occasionally runs in and punches people in the head like he always does, but at least we'd get something new out of Brock matches.

But instead they are going to try to sell us on Roman vs Brock again when Roman has done nothing but suck, fail, and whine ever since WrestleMania. This mother fucker didn't even want the title shot last week! He just strolled in while everyone else was talking about it!

Who can possibly care!? Any Roman fans that are somehow still here can't possibly care! How is this going to be an accomplishment for Roman to beat Brock when he's failed to beat him for going on four years now!?

Just... God. This is absurd. The crowd is going to tear this match apart like they always do to the impossibly dull Roman Reigns PPV matches, only this has a chance to be amongst the worst ones. Because people are so over this by now, even more than Mania.

We usually have a SummerSlam party but I don't even know if we will anymore because interest in WWE has been at an all time low amongst my friends, and not a single one of us cares about Roman at all. It's crazy they think this is what people want. Insanity.

What killed it for me is that everyone else comes out and goes "Hey, I deserve a shot at Brock Lesnar because of x." And then Roman comes out and says "I got no excuses for my loss. I just want to fight someone." So the dude who had no interest in a title shot and got his ass kicked fairly just gets handed a chance for a title shot. And then we'll get a repeat of a match that not a lot of people cared about the first time it happened. And then Kurt goes on to tell Baron Corbin he doesn't deserve a title shot because he lost at the PPV.

Just... Blech. WWE has a way of making their shows so unappealing sometimes.

This is what outrage culture brings.

It doesn't matter that the dude apologized a long time ago when this was found out and that he hasn't done it since then. He's apparently not allowed to reform. I can't fault a person for making a significant positive change, but apparently a lot of people can. If we bring up anything that Robert Down Jr. did in his past when he was on drugs, should that still be grounds to punish him now that he's been clean and reformed?

It's just discouraging, and especially sad.

And as others have pointed out, Disney has no problem letting a guy like Johnny Depp abuse his wife and still be their lead in the Pirates movies. As Jakyl said, it's just when people are looking.
