I just saw another at the superbowl pre game black woman band show and I'm really at a loss here. Why are they trying to look as ugly as possible? Is it some feminist thing? Why blonde, to get back at whitey? Why are most of them fat?

I was just going to leave the thread blank for two reasons:
1) Since the film is so in love with cutesy little meta-metacommentary it seemed appropriate because
2) I felt absolutely nothing for this movie,
however that's too subtle, so like Cabin in the Woods itself I will now belabor the point long past anyone's ability to care.
I honestly don't even know where to begin with this. It wasn't offensively bad or anything a la Black Swan, it isn't good-bad like Chopping Mall, it's not just plain old serviceable and therefore solid in its decency like The Omen, and it certainly isn't good. And it's like it was written to preemptively shield itself from criticism.
I could call it formulaic. The defense would be that of course it's formulaic, that's the point of the movie haha they even named the generic slasher archetypes at the end, the formulaicism is part of the joke.
I could call it uninspired. The defense would similarly be that of course it's uninspired, there's a Cube-style room of rooms with all the monsters from everything, it's all deliberately derivative and referential.
I could call it not scary. The defense would again similarly be that this is also intentional, look how it's also billed as a comedy. Nevermind that it's not funny either, because it's also billed as a horror.
The plain and simple of it is that it is formulaic, and this goes for the meta-meta narrative as well. Yes the silly organization's point is to enact the contrived ritual that plays out with horror movie tropes because it's supposed to, that's not whats formulaic about it. It can be argued that every beat up to the descent into the facility is formulaic by design, but once they're through that door that excuse falls flat.
The plain and simple of it is that it is uninspired. One of the technicians remarks early on that they're allowed to cheat to make things play out as needed as much as they want. Later we see that security personnel gunning down the sacrifices meets the requirements—there's no reason not to lead with that and just shoot the whore first. Or to bomb the cabin after shooting the whore. Or literally anything else. The overarching narrative cannot be flimsy because the arguably intentionally shitty internal narrative is wink-wink-shitty to allow room for that larger one. The overall story is just there as an excuse to make 8104 different references (HAHA THE WHITEBOARD TALKS ABOUT THE R*PE TREES FROM EVIL DESD LOL) and give 3 second cameos to creatures from other movies. The facility and organization itself is just a Cube Zero knockoff anyway.
The plain and simple of it is that it is neither scary nor funny. There are no stakes even with the apocalypse on the horizon and then actualizing to end the film. Everyone is boring and sucks. Literally Shaggy from scooby doo as the lead can't go any other way. The humor predates it by several years but it all smacks of that atrocious Rian Johnson Star Wars movie with the yo momma joke; it's quip "comedy" without the quips but the exact same degree of unwarranted and omnipresent self-satisfaction.
This is, however, a lot more negativity than Cabin in the Woods strictly deserves. I don't feel any sort of profound loathing for it or anything, it did nothing to elicit any particular emotion that strong. It's a completely unremarkable hour and a half.
For a movie with such an incredibly promising cover and inexplicably golden critic reviews from the beforetimes when critics evaluated things by metrics other than how much gay s*x a film has in it, the only thing I feel in any notable sense is confusion as to how either of these things happened. That and I want to watch Hellraiser because cenobites are great even if they are bootleg and have 30 seconds of screentime in an utterly mid movie.

Unfortunately Jannies have been on high alert mopping duty but heres some REDdit scrapes:
- 48
- 115
Lisa is an American TikToker who goes by the handle @ stalkedbythefeds, where she posts videos alleging she is under FBI investigation as a result of her having an affair with an FBI agent named Lenny DePaul. She claims that ever since she told DePaul's wife of their affair, the FBI has retaliated by opening up an investigation against her. Her proof that she is under investigation includes:
Videos of random people in public
Videos and pictures of cars parked outside of her house, cars with tinted windows, or cars with „weird license plates"
People sitting in their cars outside of her gym
Other insane nonsense
How does she have time to schizo post all day? She previously was a psychiatric nurse pratictioner, but now she collects monthly disability checks for an undisclosed disability, which some of her viewers assume is some sort of mental illness causing her delusions. She claims that the FBI is trying to find evidence of her committing "insurance fraud" relating to her disability, and that they've concocted schemes to make her look like she isn't actually qualified. Or alternatively, just find her guilty of absolutely anything so Lenny can get his sweet, sweet revenge over 4 years later.
Here are some of the ways she claims the FBI have tried to entrap her:
She said that the FBI approached her hairdresser and convinced her to become a CI. She says it was "so obvious" to her because her hairdresser "Started asking questions." She claims that almost everybody that she interacts with is in cahoots with the feds and anybody who isn't will be coerced into becoming an informer.
She also claims the FBI turned one of her lifelong friends into a CI. Supposedly, the FBI tried to get her to commit fraud by convincing her long-time friend to ask Lisa (who was a RN at the time) if she could help get the friend's sister on disability, because she couldn't work due to health complications. Lisa says she "didn't take the bait", and instead accuses her friend of selling out to the FBI when she was seemingly just looking for help for her sister.
She again claimed that the FBI poached one of her friends, this time by trying to get Lisa (still a RN at the time) to sign "emotional support animal" paperwork so she didn't have to pay the pet fee to her landlord. Suprise Lisa, the FBI isn't setting you up- your friends are asking favors from you.
Recently, she announced that to escape the feds, she was going to be moving to Bali (which to many may seem like a worse fate…) But, lo and behold, to the shock of almost no one, within less than 4 days of moving she claimed she was still being followed in Bali. Including the riveting proof of: a lady standing outside on her own porch (complete with scary music in the background)
Although on the surface, this may seem like just another insane schizo "gangstalking" victim, some of her followers have theorized that this is all a very intricate scam concocted to scrape the wallets of r-slurred tiktok users and collect tiktok creator fund money in addition to her disability (which I believe in itself would be insurance fraud. We got er boys!!! ) Her denial of this is not helped by the GoFundMe link in her bio (even if it's only raised less than $300 with a goal of 20k.) Another TikToker, https://tiktok.com/@mamaphilly26 released a series of videos claiming to have previously worked for Lisa, and stating that she believes her story is a ruse.
Even if the whole stalking story is fake, I do not believe that she is not crazy. This is not the face of a sane woman:

So long and short I enjoy watching Alone, a "survival" show where a bunch of off-grid r-slurs starve themselves to win a couple of bucks. They're "Alone" in the sense they after they are dropped off they have no communication but a radio to say "halp, I am dying, please come get me" and random medical check-ups that I'm sure some insurance guy was like "yeah you need that."
So I'm browsing Netflix and I see Alone: Australia and I'm legit and decide to tune in. The last several seasons of Alone have been up in northern Canada so I'm like "cool, change of scenery, win win"
Well I'm half way thru the third episode and 3 of the 10 people have already quit. It's DAY 3.
Why did the people call to quit?
1. I miss my ugly wife and kid.
2. I can't start a fire boo fricking who
3. I'm 22 and I got covid!
Yes, that is right, in their little med-kit designated for if you chop into your leg with an ax they have Covid tests. This season was from 2023.
Other things of how cucked Australia and this version of the show is.
Some lesbo PhD felt bad about having to hook a worm to go fishing, and states "i wouldn't mind not catching a fish."
Multiple people are already dizzy from lack of food.
If they cast a line for fishing they have to sit and watch it incase they hook a platypus because it might drown and they must save it.
They can't hunt with a bow.
Told NOT to eat any forgeable mushrooms incase they misidentify
In disbelief I scrolled through to the end and at the end of this episode another cuck fricker leaves.
This isn't in the middle of the outback either, but on Tasmania, where it rains like, 200 days a year or some shit. And it's a little chilly. And plenty of trees. And nobody has mentioned a croc so probably no fricking crocs.
This season is 11 episodes plus a reunion. I don't think I can make it bros.
I just want to watch my hecko outdoor survival shit why must those down-under cute twinks be so fricking lame

Fun fact: David Bowie did not, in fact, have heterochromia from birth. One of his irises was permanently dilated, giving the impression that it was a different color, due to an injury suffered as a teenager during a fight with his friend and 1960's bandmate George Underwood over a girl. The band was called "Davie Jones and the King Bees" and George was the lead guitarist. He was also a Beta orbiter around some chick and he, stupidly, introduced her to the band's singer David Jones (Bowie's real name- he had to change it so as not to be confused with Davy Jones from the Monkees). That very night Diamond Dave fricked this girl very loudly in the room above where George was sleeping. George, who has assumed that nice girls didn't do such things, seethed all night and punched David when he came downstairs the next day.
There's a lesson here for all of us.
David Bowie- surprisingly heterosexual
