#Child's play review

[trentcrimminallybeautiful]

i think the diamond dogs should play improv games just bc it would amuse me, an ex theater kid, specifically

#ted and beard ofc are reading each others minds #trent is shockingly good at it but only when he forgets to be self conscious #also see: he does both best and worst with ted (best when he's not being self conscious #worst when somehow the prompt gets too touchy or 'romantic' bc Crush Crush Crush Brain Panic) #(please the image of ted in character hugging him or something and trent just. red. brain crashed. no longer improving just frozen. barely #manages to recover and even then it was not subtle. unclear if ted is a) genuinely oblivious b) teasing him and thinks trent knows that #c) something else(??) ) #roy is too stiff most of the time but if he gets really into it he gets REALLY into it. #best way to get this result is to involve phoebe or another child #higgins did community theater at some point and is the one teaching them all the games. beard also seems to have done intense research #but higgins is the one with EXPERIENCE #not that i think beard and ted couldn't have done an improv duo in college or something but in this scenario they did not #nate surprisingly is pretty good at it once he gets into it like it takes him a second but #then he's like. really getting into it and he's very quick on his feet #new way to go mad with power (affectionate): the rush you get when you make the perfect snap back comedic line/acting choice #also while trent is so good paired with so many of them i think he and nate would be a hilarious duo. they're SO funny. #they complement each other well and are both quick & clever #esp if it's about a mutual interest (although one of them taking the lead on something else like nate and music while the other plays off t #em is also good) but like #please i just had the iamge of them basically doing a bit where they're like. those mean old gay muppets in the theater? #like trent and nate improv duoing as some bitchy reviewers just going back and forth and it's so FAST and SO funny #beard records it and posts it somewhere and it goes viral. #god don't even get me started on the idea of some sort of official richmond social media/the gang posting random clips on social media #bc the ideas i have are so funny. #also largely trent centric but what do you want from me okay i'm just a little slut.

My quest to watch 80 x 80s movies continues with the creepy 80s horror, Child's Play. It still stands up really well to this day.

For people who collect OMG Dolls, do they usually have nylon hair?

I' got a couple from the thrift store and I'm especially curious about Downtown BB. I thrifted her and her hair is SO tangled. It gets wet when I wash her (so not poly) but it also instantly tangles again no matter how carefully I untangle it. Just absolutely miserable. It reminds me of the hair on the Build-A-Bear ponies (negative.)

On the other hand I got an OMG with coral-orangy hair that washed up great, that one is definitely nylon.

#OMG dolls #dolls #MGA #I was looking on Youtube for reviews of Downtown BB #and found a doll collector who had thrifted her #and who ALSO had trouble with her hair #which makes me think it's definitely due to the type of hair #and not due to a child playing with her roughly

i just watched the new bbc famous five adaptation, and it's one of those shows that's absolutely terrible but in a really iconic entertaining way. it's so tonally weird and i have no idea why any of the decisions were made. i'm fascinated

#i watched it with my family and we all hated it but we had such a fun time watching it too #it's one of those shows you want to watch again just to try to analyse what the actual fuck was going through creator's minds #it basically starts off completely normal and kind of wholesome (apart from really bizarre opening credits) and then it gradually gets #weirder and weirder until it turns into the da vinci code or something and there's some secret passageway with a magic potion #that tells the future?! which turns out to be visions of world war 2 and drives the villain (who is played by some famous game of thrones #actor i think) insane. #oh and they introduced some weird backstory where the gang had a secret aunt who anne was named after who died as a child for some reason #oh and the kids find the dead body of timmy the dog's previous owner on the beach but none of them seem to care or are traumatised in any #way. they're just like well okay. timmy's ours now!! #it's all very very odd. but also entertaining and if you like shows that are terrible in an iconic way #except NOT if you're epileptic or autistic because the opening credits for some reason have some weird disco vibe with constant #flashing images because Reasons #it's just so iconically baffling and i need someone to write a video essay or a really snarky review about it or something

Either people in the Doctor Who fandom have been living under rocks for centuries at this point or they really just wanna show their transphobia when attacking Yasmin Finney, currently 20 but its being said she was 18 when filming was being done, for playing a 15 year old Rose Noble, while ignoring every other piece of media where adults have played teenage characters.

#this and people review bombing the star beast cause it had a trans character and pronouns acknowledged....transphobia be showing #like okay you wanna get mad at this? get mad at all of hollywood then #and i mean all of it #the entire cast of grease were adults playing teenagers #doctor who itself has had adults play teenage characters before #including even SJA as the actors obviously got older #to the point it was a shell shock when we got sky casted and she was played by an actual child #like how convient people now take a issue when rose a trans character is played by an adult #(but also wasn't 20 at the time of filming as she was 18 but)

BRIDE OF CHUCKY- 1998 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The best Chucky sequel hands down.

Tiffany (Jennifer Tilly) resurrects her former lover Chucky (Brad Dourif) and plans to marry him.

After a falling out he kills her and puts her in doll form also. They have to travel to the buried body of Charles Lee Ray in New Jersey to retrieve his amulet and return to human form....

What a classic. Such a departure from previous Chucky films. The first not to have "Childs Play" in the name. The first not to have Chucky battling Andy. And the movie that introduced Jennifer Tilly to the franchise.

This film leans fully into comedy and is pretty hilarious at points. The doll sex scene is great.

Plenty of fun kills. Jennifer Tillys bath death scene is tremendous. Damiens piercings being ripped out traumatised me as a kid.

Living Dead Girl by Rob Zombie is great.

Love the late 90s vibe in this film. Bride of Chucky is directed by Ronny Yu who also directed Freddy vs Jason. I think hes a very underated horror director.

Chucky has some great one liners and moments. Katherine Heigl isnt bad as Jade. Julia Stiles was originally cast as Jade but dropped out to star in "10 things i hate about you".

Jennifer Tilly is the star of the show. Hilarious, dramatic and adds so much to this film.

One of my favourite movies.

Shoutout to my BFF Jay

Who bought me some of Glamlite’s Chucky and Tiffany makeup collection! He bought be the Dangerous Duo lip kit from both Chucky and Tiff! Seriously, the packaging was insane along with the mini lil poster!

The Chucky lipstick was more of a nude/natural color while Tiffany’s was a dark red/purple color. As a huge Tiffany fan, I’m obsessed with her lipstick! Definitely check out Glamlite’s website to see what other Chucky/Tiffany makeup products they have!

Once again, thank you Jay! @king-of-wicked

spectacular review of a terrified child played by jeremy strong, now live on the cartoonist cooperative journal: "The text and image of A Terrified Child seem to be constantly pointing, even grabbing out at the reader. Characters stare directly out from the page, and the reader is denied the traditional structure of tiers and panels which allow the eye to set its own pace; most comparable to television, we experience this work an image at a time, boxed into a nearly unchanging aspect ratio. This is bolstered by the sheer obsessiveness of the image itself, reminiscent of the vague nausea of seeing a television actor’s individual pores on a large high-resolution screen. In the case of the drawn image, however, there cannot be any ignoring of the intense physical nature required to make the image. The layers of color pencil create deep, gaping, aquifers of color set aside quivering black. The weight of Mattes’s hand layers color over color until the “entire terrifying world” – with the exception of Mattes’s and his brother’s avatars – acquires the tonality of dead flesh."

Sunshine

268 words. A pre-canon ficlet about Thais because I have been having feelings about her and her cowboy. There’s no real spoilers for the Curse of Strahd module in here, just some little tidbits about the setting at most.

If she thinks back on it, Thais can probably count on one hand the number of times she’s seen sunshine. Actual, honest-to-gods sunshine. The sun doesn’t shine in Barovia, that’s simply the way it is. And so she doesn’t entirely understand what Yeska is missing when he talks about sunshine; it’s something beyond her comprehension.

When the light comes in, it’s too often snuffed out. She has learned to clutch at any fleeting happiness with both hands in a white knuckled grip, clawing and biting and fighting to keep it. And, all too often, even that isn’t enough. She’s not yet old enough to have worn down to apathy.

So yeah, she doesn’t really get the fascination. And she doesn’t like it when he gets sad, and when he talks about times before coming to Barovia, he gets sad. But she likes listening to him talk, and if that’s what he wants to talk about, she’ll listen nonetheless.

Everyone she has ever known has warned her away from him. She knows why – they won’t stop telling her about it, after all. He’s an outsider, and outsiders might as well have targets hand-painted on their backs by Zarovich himself. She knows, she just doesn’t care. Yeska is her friend. Anything that wants to get to him has to go through her first, including that demon.

And so she finds herself looking up sometimes. Checking that the constant cloud cover is still, in fact, there. Not that she expects it to ever be gone. But just because she wants to make sure she’s not missing the sunshine that peeks through.

#my writing #things are getting dicey #glorious goth girl adventures #curse of strahd #ocs #Thais Vennoa #to be clear: the Yeska that is in the original module and this Yeska are not the same #Yeska originally is a child and doesn't have a super major part to play as far as I'm aware #(no spoilers if I'm wrong I'm one of the players not the dm and would prefer to go into this as blind as possible thanks) #GGGA Yeska is Thais' best friend since childhood and they're both almost 40 #(also they are stupid in love with each other and wanted to get married but couldn't for stupid reasons and also now she's dead but not) #the review from my DM was (and I quote) 'I am going to vomit. This is so sad' #which was very gratifying because they have been making me fucking sad as shit over Yeska and how he's been fucking alone and grieving #FOR EIGHT MONTHS #SO NOW SHE GETS TO BE SAD ABOUT THAIS #TURNABOUT IS FAIR PLAY

Grave Reacts: Child's Play (1988) - 09/27/2022

In this video, my roommate and I will be reacting to her very first viewing of Child's Play from 1988. Chucky is one of the classic slashers, and I loved getting to show this to her!

Child's Play (1988)

"Karen buys her son Andy a sought-after doll for his birthday and Andy names it Chucky. Things take a turn for the worse when Andy discovers that Chucky is possessed by the spirit of a serial killer."

This is a film that was released 34 years ago, and it looks like it was released way, way back. The fashions in the film, the sets and furniture, and the look of the film itself, all hearken back to a very different time. I was easily able to put that aside though, and watch this for what it is......a classic horror film.

I would happily put this up against any other stalker/horror of the last 15 years as one of the best examples of the genre.

There are two very specific things that are the central pillars of this film, that make it as good as it is.

The first is the effects used for Chucky. They are all practical and are easily superior to a lot of effects used even now. The doll is still seen as one of the creepiest characters in movies. A lot of people are still scared when someone, or something, dressed as Chucky runs at them or even looks in their direction. There is a longevity to this character that a lot of actors would kill for. The fact that there is a new tv series running now, that is still terrifying people, is testament to that longevity.

The other thing that solidifies this film, and makes it stand the test of time, is the central human performance. Alex Vincent, as Andy Barclay, was only 7 years old when this film was released and, obviously, younger when they filmed it. He gives an assured, believable, outstanding performance that shines far above the adults in the film. The quality of his performance is such that you'd think he'd been performing for 20 years. Just sublime.

All that being said I really enjoyed a big screen rewatch. Child's Play, as a story, has absolutely stood the test of time, even if the way it looks has not aged well. I'm not going to mark it down for that though. I went to see it to see if it was still a good film, and it is. A solid 8/10 for one of the best horror films in cinema.

I think I spend perhaps a significant amount of time making stories in my brain, on more than one occasion my dreams have relayed themselves to me in a semi-coherent visual that I am fully not a part of. Also I did just have an upsettingly visceral zombie dream that I woke up feeling panicky about. The method of "zombies aren't real and none of that happened" was not nearly as soothing as asking myself how that scenario would resolve, and how would the story be told so that things would turn out alright.

#I feel like maybe I should wait and post this after I have like #woken up completely #and reviewed it for coherency but nah #anyways the day would have been saved by a younger sibling who's worried about their gaming buddy who just went afk without notice #and an older sibling who has nothing better to do and tries to hack their way into stuff to either #prove to the younger sibling that everything is fine #or at least get the other players location in case things weren't fine #and this hacking would have revealed in some manned the location of the gaming buddy #which is on the giant space ship like plane flying over the field peppers that the first scene took place in #there were a series of unfortunate events with the people on the ship #all but one are now zombies #the one is hiding in plain sight relying on not being noticed as something alive #the gaming buddy didnt get turned but did get killed by a stray bullet #why was a child playing video games on a massive government spacecraft? idk man I don't write this stuff #I just patch it back up once i wake up and find the story full of holes
