      Aw maaan šŸ˜‚ I’ve never seen you back down on dramatic ‘dark’ stuff before… *Gives you a side-eye*

        I like dramatic dark things as long as it’s there for a purpose beyond making me scream or feel creeped out. It has to be there for a reason, and the reason needs to be highlighting the light!

        No half-heartedness and no worldly fear must turn us aside from following the light unflinchingly.

          The Village wasn’t that bad, to be honest. It was disturbing, but in more of a thought-provoking way because of the plot.

            When I say it’s a good horror story, I mean that. There are a lot of thought-provoking horrors out there, usually to represent things gone too far, like dystopias. I think most good horrors are functionally dystopias.

            Coraline is about home, courage, and the horrors of wishful thinking. It takes a ‘what if’ and digs into exactly what a child might experience if they follow that stranger. That movie taught thirteen-year-old me to be afraid of strangers. XD It’s loyal to the traditional creepy bedtime stories people used to tell their kids.

            I think horror gets a bad rap. Lots of writers say their stories are dark, with PTSD, abuse, even gore. But they knee-jerk whenever the word ‘horror’ is used. There are tons of bad horrors out there, but some of them are absolutely amazing. Anyway, that’s just what I think. šŸ˜…

              well then, I’ll keep it in mind.

              I looked it up and it seems like it might be…. claymation? Something like that.

                Yep! It’s stop-motion with lots of different materials. Stop-motions can be less expensive for the filmmakers, but they have to work a lot more.

                  Pro-tip for movie watchers: Stop-motions tend to be higher art quality than normal 3D. I should make a list of my favorites and post it in the movie topic!

                      Hm, so more of a phycological thriller? interesting!

                        And tangled is better than the original tale

                        It’s probably my favorite of the disney princess movies tbh. It’s a good story, the songs are good without being too annoying, and the fact that the main character is friends with a lizard makes me happy cause stereotypically, women hate reptiles in fiction.

                          @keilah-h

                          LOL! SAME! I love tangled, it is one of the only princess movies I watch XD (second being princess and the frog… the voodoo stuff is a little…. but that is for a different day!)

                          I love Pascal! And I like her powers, most Disney princesses just rely on their magical animal slaves , My only critique is why didn’t they cut the hair farther down…? Because her hair at the end of the movie… (LOL, but that is not important šŸ˜…)

                            @the_lost-journal yesss Pascal is the best, and they worked Rapunzel’s powers into it quite well.

                            My only critique is why didn’t they cut the hair farther down…? Because her hair at the end of the movie…

                            To be fair though, Flynn/Eugene was kinda dying and just wanted to chop her hair off so her ā€œmomā€ couldn’t take advantage of her anymore, so you can’t really expect him to do it properly. Plus he did it with what, a shard of mirror? So yeah, at least it makes sense. Canonically she lets her hair grow back long anyway.
