    Sorry, man, that sounds awful. Your SIL should be modeling much better behavior, and is completely failing. The cousins are following her lead. Bully kids from bully parents.

    Sorry. This wasn't my only problem with it, but the cast was too small. These kinds of movies -- the top tier of which I'd include Alien, Aliens, Predator, and The Thing -- generally need like 7-10 decently drawn characters so the monsters have people to pick off.

    Bunch of quick notes from the past month or so:
    • The Day the Earth Blew Up: This is the recent Daffy Duck/Porky Pig movie. Petunia is also in it with a pretty prominent role, which is cool. I liked it! A zany classic sci-fi story with some neat twists.
    • Sinners: Also pretty good. Not perfect by any means, but it was energetic, stylish, and entertaining. I might have liked the first half more than the second, like before most of the horror stuff happens.
    • Alien Romulus: Disappointed. I liked the android character a lot, and there was the occasional cool idea or effect, but it was otherwise "mid" as the kids say. The direct fan service stuff in particular was very poorly done.
    • Final Destination - Bloodlines: This ruled. Maybe not best in franchise, but it was full of good kills and actually had a decent angle for the "bloodlines" element. Plays with expectations in a good way.
    • Opus: Pretty bad. I don't know how to describe this one, but it squanders a decent premise. Recluse pop star (played by John Malkovich!) returns after decades with a new album, invites some music press to his compound, which naturally is also a cult. Mayhem ensues. Except there aren't any real characters, because it's a satire of something or other, so none of the mayhem really lands.
    • Freaky Tales: This wears its influences on its sleeve, and isn't necessarily as good as any of them, but it's still a pretty good time. Four semi-interlocking stories set in Oakland in the 80s. Violent but cartoony. It has a cameo by Too $hort (who is also a character in the movie portrayed by someone else), which is cool.
    • Friendship: Liked this a lot. Very funny, and a decent amount of awkward, which is all I was asking for.
    • The Monkey: I didn't like Longlegs, and though I liked this somewhat more, I still didn't like it that much. Some good kills but something about it didn't click with me.
    • Babylon: Big budget movie about Hollywood transitioning from the silent era to talkies, but mostly about the decadence and debauchery of the era through the eyes of like 3.5 main characters. I thought it was obnoxious and abrasive in a bad way. It's got a strong cast and isn't without its moments, but it's 3 hours long so those moments don't really save it from all the surrounding wankery.

  4. In Topic: A long lost soul needs your recommendations

    It's always been one of those things that's on the list but never at the top of the list. I should consider not doing that anymore though, I suppose.

    On further reflection, maybe not so much "jolly good" as "the whole situation sucks but I'm very glad you and yours are safe and I'm sorry to hear that people you know where impacted, but again I'm glad they are safe".

    Hah, western north south west. Nice. Hadn't thought of it that way.
    Sometimes us from regional New South Wales refer to NSW as Newcastle Sydney Wollongong - the main metro areas that get all the attention from govt and the media, the rest of the state being "here be dragons" as far as they are concerned. :P

    If it's all the same to you, I'd like 2022 to be very low on surprises ...
    Except the lottery-winning kind. I'd like at least a big pleasant surprise there.

    Yes mate, so far so good thanks. Don't want to say more as I'd rather not tempt fate.
