There's no disagreement about the "queer framing." The disagreement is about whether it's homophobic. Obviously it references homosexuality: that's why the joke works! It leads you to a natural...

Re: A scary thing happened on the way to the Movie Forums - Horrorcram

I have a weird, probably borderline-irrational soft spot for movies that take crazy turns in the middle.

I think it comes, partially, from being bombarded by trailers and press materials that...

Re: A scary thing happened on the way to the Movie Forums - Horrorcram

I said a whole bunch of stuff about the movie back when I saw it, so I'll either link to that or just lazily reference it, as I just have, and people can find it if they want. I'll only summarize...

I might watch that in the next few days.

I've been watching a lot more horror lately, disproportionately low-or-mid-budget affairs. As far as I can tell it can be traced back to seeing Barbarian a...
