Have you ever reviewed The Menu? Just watched it and super curious the thoughts of a horror connoisseur 😅😅
I fucking love The Menu. I think I've watched it at least 5 times at this point. I'll probably watch it 5 more times in the next six month because it's become one of my comfort movies. I can watch this movie over and over and over again and enjoy it every time.
Is it a horror? Is a drama? Is it a comedy? Is it a thriller?
Yes.
I think the story is super fun and interesting and the acting is superb. There are moments in it that are genuinely very creepy.* I love that things go from vaguely creepy to HOLY FUCKING WHAT in two seconds. I fucking adore this movie.
My only real issue with it is I can never decide what I think it's trying to say. I do feel like it's trying to say something but I just can't decide on what. I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to come across or if I think that what they're trying to say gets to muddled in the horror/drama/comedy/thriller of it. I go back and forth, even after watching it so many times.
Is the movie trying to say that fancy, innovative, and expensive food will always be inferior to simple, cheap food? I honestly don't know. If they're not trying to say that, then they definitely muddled it because I think it'd be very easy to argue that that's what they're saying. And if they are saying that, it's a very ignorant sort of thought to have about the complexity of food culture. I just don't know and, really, I'm okay with that. Because if it is the latter than I'm going to stop liking it and I really don't want to do that.
I'd be really interested in hearing what Doc has to say about it. She's way more into food culture as a whole and definitely understands that the whole thing is way more complicated than fancy=bad and simple=good. I actually almost chose that for the horror movie watch night she'd doing (tonight) but in the end I thought The Menu was something that she may watch on her own but Pearl almost certainly wasn't, so went with Pearl.
TL;DR - Fucking love this movie to death. I think almost everything in is amazing. Highly recommended.
*Mr. Geeky says that one of the creepiest moments in a movie that he's had in a while is that moment where you go in the chef's house and it's just an direct copy of the restaurant.

the wood collective plot line is literally fucking sooo comical. you have Big Salmon(corporation made entirely to irritate doc) and doc (Unspeakable Power of Destructive Machinery not yet available) who are now forced into a Get-Along-Shirt (they Will get their permits revoked if they don’t work together). doc tried his hardest to gain complete control over the wood industry. he’s Now forced to awkwardly do business with the 2 guys he blew up last week. The Most they can do is hurl insults at each other. it makes it even funnier because doc is 10x more powerful then either beef or skizz, but beef and skizz dominate their interactions with combined louder insanity. the wood collectives’ dynamic is like a sitcom set up i swear.

Wild Blue Yonder really emphasized the Doctor not knowing the answer, huh? He’s wrong about Donna 3/4 times, he doesn’t speak the alien language, he doesn’t know what the creatures are nor is he very familiar with the space they’ve landed in. Hell, he even has a line admitting he’s wrong often.
But you know what else this episode did? It emphasized Donna’s brilliance. She may think she’s stupid, but she’s sharp as hell. She’s the one who figures out the imposter after giving a Doctor-level tangential speech. She’s the one who’s able to clear her head. She asks the right questions— why are their doubles scaring them?
Her imposter thinks she’s dumb at first, but when no-thing Donna realizes the real one’s actually smart, that’s when she’s able to break through the salt spell. Unfortunately Donna being brilliant means her imposter must be too.
Anyway. Love the role reversal. But for it to come at a time when the Doctor is feeling lost and confused, when they’ve just discovered they don’t even know themselves— it probably stings. Because what are they if not the smart one? When you take away all they’ve learned of this universe, there’s nothing left.

we all know that wyllstarion goes crazy as hell but you really have to think about it from Wyll’s perspective. You’re the most fairy tale brained man on earth whose life is a continued sequence of romantic and heroic ideals set up to fail. You want to be a heroic duke and save your city but wind up making a pact with a devil. You want to use that pact for good and are almost (or straight up) tricked into killing an innocent. You go on the most princely quest of all to ask a dragon for his help and we all know how that ends. And then in comes Astarion jangling like the most weaselly evil court advisor, a vampire no less and you’re like actually fuck it this slippery eel is where it’s AT. and this time you actually do get a happy ending with it. it goes crrrrazyyyy

You are telling me the doctor stood outside his Tardis like a wet puppy waiting for Ruby to follow him out, got in, had a whole ass OUTFIT CHANGE (the change: same shirt in a different color), and then climbed up the Tardis' zoomies runaways just to STAND THERE AND POSE as he waited for Ruby??

@rosepetalrevolution: Now I wanna know what your complaint is!
(Re: this post about The Last of Us) Major spoilers incoming, y'all.
In an absolutely ideal world, there would have been at best an ep and at the very least a significant amount of time in-between what happened at the end of 8 (When We Are in Need) and the end of 9 (Look for the Light).
I think letting the knowledge of how rabid Joel goes in defense of Ellie fade a bit into the background would have made what happened in 9 hit in a more emotional way. As it is, you see Joel lose it at the end of 8 which is memorable (as it should be) but it means that you enter into 9 with that knowledge in the forefront of your mind. 9 is only 43 mins long (the shortest ep) which means that you only have about 25 mins of show before you see Joel go rabid again.
I feel like the moment where Joel just turns into a murder machine would have had more emotional impact if there was a beat where the viewer was like "Oh shit, what is Joel going to do....... OH SHIT". Because I feel like that's a little bit what it's like in Joel's head. I think, in these situations, he's fine until something in him just snaps and I think that having the player have that moment of knowledge also snap into place would be a great way to get the viewer into a really similar head space.
So, when I went to go try to figure out where we could have put ep 8, instead of right in front of 9, I come up with the problem that there just isn't anywhere else to put it.
7 has to come before 8 because I think putting Elli's flashback in the midst of Joel being hurt is perfect. The eps where Joel goes on a rampage can't take place before the end of 6, where Joel finally admits that he cares for Ellie. Ellie wouldn't have been able to push Joel into admitting this and I don't think Joel could have been pushed into without what happened in 4 and 5. I think 3 is important to giving us an emotional connection to people outside of Ellie and Joel, which has to be done early so as to not feel like it gets in the way of the story, as well as being a quick and dirty way to increase how much we like Joel. And 3 can't come any earlier because we need to have established Joel, Tess, and Ellie as characters before spending so much time on someone other than them. And everything that happens in 1 and 2 are things that have to happen in the first two eps of the show and now we're all the way at the beginning of the series and there's just nowhere else to put what happens in 8. And the story is way too tight for me to even consider putting a whole new ep with all new stuff in it in-between 8 and 9.
It's a minor complaint and I almost love the show all the more for giving me a minor complaint and then having the writing be so good that I just have throw my hands up in the air and say "Fine! Fine! You literally did it the best you could! I literally have no notes for you! Fine!"

oh my god watching mumbos ep rn i REALLY hope they actually get a log-workers union against doc bc that would be SO FUNNYYY. i want to see all the other wood permit owners that doc split profits with get together to do union negotiations. doc thinks he can just replace the whole money system with sand if he just only uses sand. Then he has to deal with the Hermitcraft Log Permit Union (HLPU) knocking on his door about unfair pay. i think that would be really funny honestly

Seeing how the first part ended.
If bonzle tells Kai that she met some guy named Agent Jay Walker. An Administration agent who says he can’t remember anything about what he did before and has fucking lightning powers.
Kai now knows about the whereabouts of Jay, but he can’t do shit about it.
He can’t tell his team, Jays best friend, he can’t tell his sister; Jays own WIFE about what kinda predicament he’s in because he’s basically stuck in HELL.
And it’s gonna hurt him so bad because of it. Because of the fight they had in Crystalized because of the shit that he went through in seabound because of the fact Nya has been looking for Jay since Day one of the merge.
And he’s Just powerless to do anything.
ALL OF THIS HAPPENS AFTER NYA SAYS “The love of my life could never forget me.”
OH MY GODDDDDDDD
