week 2???????? the nightmare before christmas

remember how I said I would be following a predetermined list? 

about that... 

So, I decided that in honor of Halloween I would watch a spooky movie, particularly Scream. Because I wanted to watch it and it was on my list of want-to-watch movies. And, well, it's not available on any streaming platforms (at least the ones I have access to), without paying extra. 

So I didn't watch Scream. 

I did, however, watch Nightmare before Christmas. And technically, it's a classic. 

You may think: Joey you've seen NBC like 3 times already, and the list is of movies you haven't watched!

Okay? And I completely forgot the plot of this movie so basically it's a brand new movie. 

NBC (not to be confused with NBC news) is a beautiful stopmotion movie where Jack Skelly-boi steals Christmas from Santa, and probably traumatizes a couple kids in the process. 

Now for the thing you've all be waiting for: is it overrated? 

Nah. It deserves its rep. Watch it. It's like only an hour and 15 minutes long, so you can watch it when you have less than an hour and a half before your friend has to leave your house. Perfect Halloween/Christmas classic, I really have no complaints. Other than the fact that no one (or maybe just me) can apparently really remember the actual plot-- so it's prolly not super memorable.

    Agree! It does deserve its rep. Good choice, even if it wasn't planned. Sometimes those are the best.

week 4, more Cars.

I technically watched Cars 2.  So I'll just be continuing my post from last week, ranting about the universe of Cars--because that's a movie. And also because my god- the sequel just makes it weirder.  Who is in charge of Cars? Who decided we needed a sequel? And why make it spy movie themed? And not even just themed- it's labeled on Wikipedia as a "computer-animated spy comedy film".  Who is gonna sit here and say "ah yes, my favorite spy movie: Cars 2!" unironically? Alas.  I have forgotten apparently that the Cars movies are technically a kids movie, which explains their basic (and really. nonsensical) plots and character arcs. Lightning McQueen and Tow Mator learn the value of friendship! Or something like that...  Tow Mator basically becomes a spy in this movie. How do cars even become spies? I feel like that would not logistically work out. Because a massive tow truck isn't very subtle and hidable. What even is a spy? Debating great questions h...
