Aliens in the Attic (2009)

A group of kids on vacation discover that a small squad of aliens have landed and are after something in their basement.

Most of the acting is fairly good quality, even from the younger actors which isn’t entirely surprising but the consistency is beneficial to the whole. The story develops well with a range of technology being revealed gradually and some fun action scenes which get more bizarre as the movie progresses.

Some of the comedy is overdone at times, mainly for the older boyfriend who is a predominantly slapstick character. It’s in these scenes that the film appears to be talking down to the audience a little, especially since there are no heavier emotional scenes to balance it out. It must be assumed that the alien control device allows for some measure of invulnerability since the older lady’s body would have been destroyed by the fight scenes.

One surprising aspect of a comedy film such as this is that the CGI was of a sufficiently high quality that the aliens blend well with their background and there are no scenes that especially break the suspension of disbelief. Even the climax works effectively enough and is of a larger scale. The message is also the traditional children’s cinema one of it being ok to be different and it still works as much as it did decades ago, probably because we’re still a trash species so it still has to be said.

Two of the aliens appear to have an attraction to one another but in an abusive kind of way and it’s not clear that happens to them in the end. The invasion force as a whole is dealt with a little simply and the order to retreat is given by a subordinate which doesn’t seem like it should have worked as well as it did.

4/10 -It’s below average, but only just!-

-The working title was “They Came From Upstairs”.

2818. The Big Song

This is "The Big Song." Somebody else's life will infect you.

We were at the overpriced restaurant, eating a very dunce meal, when my friend asked me if I had heard the big song from the new and very popular children's film. I finished the chewy piece of meat in my mouth very slowly. And when I was finished, I said, "Why yes, I have heard that song." And then I put another large and very chewy piece of meat in my mouth.

FNAF SPOILERS! SCROLL! TALKING ABOUT THE SPRINGLOCK SCENE!

i’ve seen so many people discussing the springlock scene in both negative and positive ways and i think it brings up really cool points about how matthew played that scene and balanced fan expectations with his own characterisation.

i think the discussions around this movie have rlly exposed the disconnect between fanon and canon in fnaf, especially talking abt the core games in isolation, bc frankly in the game universe (ignoring the books) we get Very Little characterisation for William other than the obvious, but Matthew managed to add so much in the way he talks and his body language.

in the reveal scene, we see afton at arguably his peak. in his first scene, he comes off as somewhat demeaning and judgemental until he recognises mike’s name, at which point he seems to have this nervous energy, rushing to cover it up but stumbling slightly, his reaction to the tables being turned even slightly is massive.

this is a man who committed multiple mrdrs in essentially broad daylight, hid the bodies in the most obvious place, and still got away with it, and then kept the crime scene as a trophy of his actions, and an ongoing prison sentence for his victims. he has been in complete control for decades, and is confident that he can deal with any kind of threat quickly. his confidence in his reveal is palpable

it changes when vanessa shoots him. the whole parallel with vanessa and the animatronics is hugely interesting too- how william refers to the animatronics almost endearingly as “kids” when he wants them to obey, how both vanny and the animatronics have an unearned loyalty to him, almost a pseudo-adoption through what he did to them, taking them from their parents and keeping them under his thumb, forever stuck as naive, forgiving, obedient children. vanessa breaking from that control shakes him, but the mask slips back into place almost immediately.

then, he’s outsmarted by the brother of one of his victims, and the child he planned to end next. his pseudo-children turn on him and he can no longer manipulate his appearance or shed his skin to escape. he explodes on them, and his language is incredibly telling that he is being dishonest.

he calls them small, trying to belittle them into submission, even though they are ten feet tall metal animatronics powered by rage. he is grasping at straws to regain control, and failing miserably.

finally, the springlocks go off. the locks in the movie look more like a ribcage, so the first two likely puncture his lungs. they’re slow, and painful, but he doesn’t scream or beg or sob. he grunts and groans, gritting his teeth and only letting out sounds of pain that sound almost involuntary. there is no way in hell he would visibly let himself show weakness or pain in front of these creatures that he believes he has control over. he isn’t brought to his knees until there are eight metal spikes embedded in his abdomen. he doesn’t let the mask fall for even a second, until he literally PUTS THE ACTUAL MASK ON and finally collapses. even then, he’s fighting for consciousness, twitching and writhing with no control over his body. william afton thrives on control, and his soul will not rest until he gets it back.

it’s why he keeps the pizzeria- he always comes back. he can’t help but return to the scene of the crime, putting on his old costume, continuing his killings. he revels in being a constant threat on the horizon. and now, he knows he is going to die, and he knows the suit will bring him back, and noone will be able to get rid of him then. so he puts the mask back on, and waits.

in terms of the sfx- they’re pretty accurate. with stab wounds, you need to leave the knife in the wound as long as possible for best chance of survival, as it stops the blood from escaping. in terms of the springlocks, there wouldn’t be copious amounts of blood as the locks are keeping the wounds filled- which is good because it means a slower, more painful death.

#fnaf #fnaf movie #eden rambles #william afton #matthew lillard #springtrap #five nights at freddy's #fnaf spoilers #idk i thought it was a great scene #ppl just need to manage their expectations of what fnaf 1 Actually Is in isolation #not the years of other media and fandom and lore and theory #we literally saw him get springlocked one time in 8 bit with no audio and four frames. how is this worse in comparison #wanna make another post talking abt how the film explores images vs the reality when you look deeper #specifically abby and her drawings/the drawings at freddys vs mike’s motivation being based on the images he sees in his dreams #and how it’s so perfect for fnaf 1 being a game almost entirely made of just scary images without actually exploring the reality #that these robots are Children and Scared and Lost #tldr the fort scene was necessary

yknow what, fuck you, [unhumans your previous elemental masters of lightning and ice and makes them best friends^_^]

Ice is an unspecified eldritch being. He has an uncanny valley effect on humans that unnerves the majority of the team who in turn can't understand how Libber, Garmadon, and Wu don't feel unsettled by him. Eventually, the teams warms up to him, and though no one becomes as close to him as Libber is, everyone knows they can come to him if they want to hex their ex or get a demon exorcised (sometimes these are one and the same).

Libber is a raijū and though this isn't common knowledge when she joins the elemental masters, news quickly spreads; she isn't great at keeping secrets. She DOES bite and Maya learnt this the hard way.

Basil: The Great Mouse Detective (1986)

A young girl’s father is kidnapped by a criminal mastermind and only the great Baker Street detective and his new ally can assist, also they’re all vermin. As a parody it takes itself just seriously enough to work as a reasonable story in itself without devoting entirely to the comedy side. The story is also coherent while following the expected methods of a mystery story. The animation works very well and has enough range to to explore a little variety in style, in particular the villain who shows some various aspects. Although Vincent Price is an iconic villain and would easily make a wonderful Moriarty, the voice never quite fit the imagery, being a little too comical in some scenes. The protagonist was a little too distant from events to be truly relatable, ignoring both allies and the needs of victims. There was also an odd sexual reference which felt out of place. The villain’s voice works in some circumstances, in particular the fact that Ratigan wrote, composed, and performed an entire song for a murder scene which seems unusual for Price but showed that the antagonist really put the time in. There were a few brief amusing moments and it lead up to a fairly satisfying finale with enough aesthetic durability and threat to be enjoyable. Some aspects of the threat, such as being eaten by the cat were never as credible as they needed to be so the suspense wasn’t always as strong as it needed to be. The bat didn’t die when appeared it had suffered the certain death sentence, that’s acceptable for the heroes but a fluke henchman survival isn’t so effective. A couple of minor flaws were that it never quite committed to the puns and wasn’t as intense as a true Holmes adventure, with most of the science and deduction being deliberate jibberish. 5/10 -Can’t find a better example of average- -The last Disney feature film, to date, to be set mainly in England.-The voice of Basil Rathbone was used as the human Holmes from an archive recording.-Disney’s Dumbo briefly appears as one of the clockwork toys blowing bubbles.

So

since it's holiday season, I have a film I think everyone, and I mean absolutely everyone needs to watch

I'm dead serious.

Watch it. Now.

It's hilarious, it's heartwarming and the most comforting and sweet film I've ever seen.

Basically, it's a brilliant take on the origin story of Santa Claus and how writing letters is totes important and we should all write letters and do kind things for one another.

As Klaus said: "One true, selfless act always sparks another."

I watch this film every holiday season with my family and I cannot get tired of it. Every time it brings me to tears. Happy comfort tears, of course.

It's on Netflix. Do yourself a favour, please.

Watch this adorable silly film

#klaus netflix #klaus 2019 #christmas movies #christmas #holiday #movie recs #films #love this movie #movie of all time #no i do not care that this is a childrens movie and you are 53 #watch it
