Three Minutes: A Lengthening - documentary about three minutes of recovered video footage from a small town in Poland in the late 1930’s. The scope of it started small and it expanded continuously throughout the movie. It was really impactful. The only footage shown is the video footage itself, the narrator is Helena Bonham Carter. I highly recommend it if you like documentaries.

Let The Right One In - 2008 low budget Swedish horror film. I’d always heard it was well regarded and it did not disappoint one bit. Delightfully tense, cathartic, and unsettling.

Kermit the frog catching major strays in this thread. Don’t do him dirty like that.

LOL I totally identify with this. I don’t remember upvoting, but it looks like I already did. Just un-upvoted and re-upvoted for good measure.

I think fear is an important part of our development, and sanitizing children’s upbringings is rarely the best approach. I love when my child communicates that they’re afraid of something because that gives me an opportunity to guide them through how to encounter and process that fear, and how to continue functioning in life when fear is present (which is always for a lot of people).

Also, for kids who are scared of their closet or under their bed at night, if you remove those triggers I would be surprised if other triggers did not arise. It could easily turn into a never ending game of whack a mole.

If it’s summarizing articles, wouldn’t that make it reductive AI, not generative?

Between Everything Everywhere, Banshees (probably my fave), Bodies3x, and Northman (and others I haven’t seen), 2022 was a truly fantastic year for original movies.

And while it was a franchise movie, Prey was also one of my favorites of the year.
