Watching hollow, pixelated yet still less wooden than their real world counterpart puppets; stomp through, chew on and spit out every single pop culture aspect of my childhood like a bunch of Wonkaless Willies has got to be one of the most viscerally soul shattering experiences ever.
Shame on you, Steven, shame on you.
This rewatch was frustrating and somewhat infuriating.
Not because the film disappointed, no, it's still as funny and perfectly balanced as ever.
It's because, in over 30 years, the problems kids face because of self-centred adults haven't changed the slightest.

'This generation's Exorcist'
Just four snippets I picked up from reviews read after seeing Hereditary. I'd say those four bits embody what's wrong with how we view horror films.
Horror is and will probably always be my favourite genre. And there's a lot wrong with it. At least, in my PERSONAL opinion. Most horror films focus on scaring people. Which is fine, but also very easy, more often than…

Can't wait for part 3.
I'd suggest a tram.
Most comedies these days: HUMOUR IS RAHRAHRAH AND 200 JOKES IN 80 MINUTES AND FARTING AND BODILY FLUIDS!!!!!
Game Night: Hold my beer while I prove you wrong.

Blokey Lads: Women are NOT funny.

Let's complain about it having no soul, about it being a product, about it only existing to generate revenue. Let's complain about all those things you already knew before you watched it.
And when we're done complaining, let's talk about this well-crafted piece of entertainment.
In the early nineties I first encountered Thanos in The Infinity Gauntlet comic. I was immediately intrigued by this villain and began hunting for old issues of Iron Man and Captain Marvel to get a…
