    of course all this stems from animation not being taken seriously and live action (i.e. hyper realistic cgi models) being perceived as more prestigious, and therefore more worthy than the animated film (that you already LIKE), but you're a COWARD who is AFRAID to say you like CARTOONS

    Beau is Afraid is genuinely the closest I’ve seen to a live action SQUEE! movie. A funny heart attack.

    Since the remake was first released #OTD back in 2011, I looked at DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK as well as the original 1973 horror TV-movie it's based on.

    What's disappointing and awkward about the film is the way it dances around any hint of queerness...it doesn't banish it, but it's quite tentative and AFRAID of it. But I suppose this is a product of it's time, when even just putting Brad Pitt's face CLOSE to Antonia Banderas' face was bold.

    Beau is Afraid was genuinely the most anxiety-inducing film I've ever seen and I think about it more than a lot of films that people insist are better. It tracks that "The ZIM Guy" likes it because they both take place in comically horrible dystopias full of people ignoring the madness. Good stuff

    Spooky stuff was kind of normal in the 90s. Are You Afraid of the Dark and Goosebumps were *very* popular, as well as a host of knock-offs. I watched all these and loved them, so when they said, "we're watching a scary movie," I assumed it was in that vein. I was wrong. 😓

    John Cho was clearly a bit desperate to get off the starship "Enterprise" so took on the mantle of the dad "Curtis" in this predictable and derivative sci-fi yarn. He's happily married to "Meredith" (Katherine Waterston); they have three kids and he's in the advertising business. When his business is offered a fortune by an AI company to support their new at-home assistant "AIA", he finds his family are now the chief guinea pigs on the user-testing front. What now ensues sees the family's…
