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.

thoughts:
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.

thoughts:
we went to see this for dutch's bday! it was cute... a bit corny and i think the woman that played maria was kinda overacting but again, it was fine. a few scenes fit a bit... disney? for an R rated movie. i think this is entirely the fault of the cgi gargoyles tho.

thoughts:
a classic... i love ash sm he's so cute.

thoughts:
i was really nervous to watch this KJGHKJDFghfg. i was afraid it'd be a bit too intense for me but it wasn't as bad as i was hyping it up to be. snuff film as a basis for horror usually makes me especially squeamish and its probably a reason i will never watch august underground, lol. i really loved the practical effects in this and a lot of the visuals were very silent hill-esque to me, which i obviously enjoyed.

thoughts:
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.

thoughts:
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.

thoughts:
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:
was kinda devastated that ppl on goodreads do NOT like this book but whatever it doesn't take away how much i enjoyed it. i loved this book, i really like china's writing style and i reallyyyyy liked the MC, Unute and his struggles with himself and his immortality. I may have to read these comics... Damn you, Keanu.

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.

thoughts: was just doing an acheivement run but i beat it so i figured i would put it here anyway. managed to get 5 in a single run so yayyyy. p.s carlos please come home i miss you so bad.

thoughts: going to try to keep this as spoiler free as possible bc i know not many people have gotten to play/watch it yet but WOW! i've already finished it twice and i'm about halfway through a third run. this was so good, a really good mix of action and horror and most of the over top action sequences didn't overstay their welcome, thank christ. i was so scared this was going to be another re6 situation but it didn't really feel like that. i had some gripes about the enemy behavior particularly in leon's later sections but w/e. i cant have everything. i love grace as a protag i hope we get to see her more because shes such a good addition to the series and she already feels like a legacy character to me. there was a lot of information i felt the game couldve expanded on but im assuming it was withheld for a reason so i just have to wait and hope the answers are in a future dlc or the next installment... all in all it was worth the wait and i'm glad capcom was like: 'this ones for you dutch and bee' with some things in the game JDFHFJDGHFJkg

thoughts: okay, beat the game again doing some achievement hunting. i think this was my 5th playthrough? Got my no heals/beat the game in under 4 hours run done. thank god. all that's left is the insanity run. bro i am scared. figured i'd do my Not Spoiler Free thoughts now that the games been out for a month.

SPOILERS FOR RE9 BELOW.
