jesus christ where do i even start. putting aside this is one of the worst adaptations of silent hill 2 to ever be made, and i'm talking past and future. like jesus. how do you butcher one of the best stories ever told this badly??? lets just pick apart how fucking awful this movie looked. the effects were bad, like they had a cgi roach. just one. not a swarm or anything. like you can't afford a singular roach?? it's not like the budget went into literally anything else because the costuming was also horrific. being able to see the lace lines on james's beard was shocking. don't even get me started on maria. the original monsters were hideous. the final mary form, which is perfect in game, looked like fucking dipshit vecna from shitty stranger things. like jesus christ. like i get your trying to do your own thing but do you have to butcher one of my favorite games to do it? just use the setting holy shit. the writing was also bad. i'm talking ruining your own reveals, hand holding plot lines spoken out loud to make sure the audience gets the point. i'm just flabbergasted. mary's full name reveal had dutch and i trying desperately to hold our laughter in because the theater was so silent you could hear a pin drop. when the credits started rolling someone else in the theater just went "how was it that bad?" in utter disbelief. half way through the movie someone in front of us started scrolling on their completely empty calendar app in lieu of watching the movie and i couldn't even be mad because like yeah. that was more interesting. Christophe Gans, please kill yourself if for nothing else than trying to make james a sympathetic character. you will never make me feel bad for him.

this was a really good adaptation but they cut one of my favorite lines of dialog from Chigurh to Carla Jean in the end which sucked but it didn't completely ruin the movie for me. Javier Bardem and Tommy Lee Jones were excellent casts for their characters.

very short read, but one i enjoyed nonetheless. as someone that struggles a lot with social interactions and fitting in, this book really spoke to me but i did get a lil scared when she started hanging out with that incel im ngl.

i adored the writing in this and the catholic guilt of it all LDFKJFKGJ i also really liked that even "disgusting" actions that susannah did were provocative to lucy. very devastating and all too real sadness to this book but still, loved the ending and i want to read more by this author because the prose was gorgeous.

thoughts:
this book was slow and while i kept reading because i wanted to know what happened to Eiko, sometimes it was hard to get through because i think men are incapable of writing about women in a way that doesn't make my skin crawl.

i really enjoyed this book but i don't really enjoy McCarthy's writing style which may be an unpopular opinion but idc. sometimes it just feels like reading one giant run on sentence.

thoughts: beat vergil's dlc mode this time around. not particularly fond of the rendering they did with the end cutscene models in this dlc. not sure why they didn't just use the in game engine again like they did for the main storyline, it would've looked so much better. instead dante and vergil look off in a way thats offputting LMAO. still. i love playing as vergil even if i am dog water at playing him.
