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.

Not required reading but this is a follow-up to the Iskall85 Drama

https://rdrama.net/post/338283/man-gets-executed-for-flirting-with

https://rdrama.net/post/338501/quick-update-for-iskall85-controversy-marseybooba

Iskall85 is a famous Minecraft YouTuber who has been in controversy recently for daring to e-flirt with adult women in private (yes really)

For more info check the two attached threads above.

In addition to LITTERALLY raping women online, Iskall also has been developing his own Minecraft Modpack called Vault Hunters, which is apparently quite the unique and expansive modpack, which Iskall has claimed to have spent 'Hundreds of Thousands of Dollars in development'. Which is obviously funded by his and other collaborators YouTube series on the pack.

However in light of the recent controversy involving Iskall, The Lead Artist of the Vault Hunters Project "Kumara" has written a hit piece document on Iskall on the horrid working conditions they face.

IT IS 123 PAGES LONG OF UNHINGED BPD DRIBBLE

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K2zSSeaUHiKZQbpWV7kGx0uI88bPupFrqIlalaUiH3c/edit?tab=t.0

Let @BussyBoy here take you through the highlights of this hilarious novella of a mental schism

PAGE 1

So as you will soon find out, this person is a fricking nut-case and as a result has been fired from their position as "Lead Art B-word", Vault Hunters has come out and stated that she's left the project and she doesn't represent them anymore... However Kumara seems to be a bit confused here on the rights of the art assets they have made already.

Somehow this b-word thinks it's illegal to publicly say they fired her, because some art of hers is still in the game. And therefore she still "represents Vault Hunters".

Listen b-word you got commissioned to make some textures, you do not suddenly own the store.

Now I want to ask you rdrama, how would you start your hit piece on someone? Lay out the simple facts you intent to prove? A brief overview?

WRONG!!!

You need to list out your mental illnesses.

Also this one is funny, I AM LITTERALLY SHAKINGG

PAY ME 3 BILLION DOLLARS NAOW

Imagine for a second your enjoying your holiday when the ArtHoe you hired to make minecraft textures such as these:

Suddenly DM's you asking for 3000 dollars

Now rightfully I'd want to question how the art you've made has taken 300 500 hours, but whatever.

Iskall doesn't fight it or challenge the figure, instead he agrees to pay her the 3k but rightfully says that "its my fault for not agreeing a price beforehand" and that he would like to instead pay per asset in the future instead of the crystal ball of whatever the frick pricing. (obviously)

HOW DARE HE! This is manipulation !!!

Immediately after this she quotes the definition of a "micro aggression" (no im not kidding lmao)

Now Iskall and the dev team is small, after all it is a MC Modpack, and Iskall is aware of this and states it clearly.

HOWEVER....

This lady then goes on to complain that Iskall uses the word "deadline" and "return on investment" which are evil business words, what a contradiction am I right! ARE YOU A BIG BUSSINESS OR NOT ISKALL!?!!?!?!?!?!?

YOU USE WORDS LIKE.... DEADLINE and..... WORK!!?!?

She thinks this is a form of gaslamping

MORE FRICKING MONEY THE GREEDY C*NT

Iskall asks the ArtHoe to just whip together a simple pack logo as the one the currently have looks bad, For those unfamiliar with Minecraft, this is an example of what his asking for

What does art how want?

3,000 USD

I WONDER WHY!!! hahahahahahaha

Trigger Warning/ Sexual Harrsement /srs

Iskall is Swedish, English is a second language to him.

it's so abundantly clear he means kitty as in kittycat.

This is genuine insanity!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now on to the lack of getting any work done at all.

given reason... You guessed it.

BONUS ROUND

She decided to trauma dump about her abuse to her boss.

Ironically Iskall reminders her that if she feels mistreated by him to let him know.

How kind and courteous of the man... I hope you dont end up writing a 123 schizo doc on him. instead of just speaking to him.

oh wait.

I didn't realize he was... le manipulating.

I would like you to pay attention to the dates here, because currently we are at Decmember 2022

Suddenly we are jumping to AUGUST 2023, 8 MONTHS LATER!

Why?? what happened in those 8 months?

(This message is from the start of the haitus)

THEY HAD A MENTAL BREAKDOWN AT HAVING TO DRAW SPRITES FOR MONEY.

And during those 8 months they did no work for Iskall, only occasionally updating him on her mental situation, with Iskall kindly asking... when are you able to do work again.... (FRICKING BUTTHOLE WHAT A FRICKING B-WORD DOESNT HE CARTE WTFTYEDWBDWD AGGHHH )

Eventually Iskall stop responding to this lady, because all she would do is fricking trauma dump to this youtuber who makes Minecraft videos, and unironically has better shit to do.

I'm not going to fill your screens with screencaps of the messages, but there are pages of them. Its fricking embarrassing.

But this one is pretty funny.

Eventually Iskall 5 months into her trauma sabbatical he asks her how things are going

She responds with a photo of her, says more about thearpy,

iskall responds "aww that sucks"

and then ghosts her again.

DO YOUR FRICKING JOB HOLY SHIT!

I need to really make this clear that there are so many fricking pages of this b-word complaining about her mental problems, and how iskall tried to comfort her at first but after months of this shit gave up and started ignoring her.

In between pages of pseudointellectual psychoanalysis of Iskall's mental state on how this is abuse. I really mean it. Check this out!

ALL OF THESE MESSEGES ARE ABOUT TRAUMA WITH NO RESPONSE.

I'm starting to think Iskall does have a problem with women,

he doesn't know when to tell them to frick off.

Also quick notice that while I've been writing this document, the hit piece I'm reading from has gone from 123 pages down to 59. IN REAL TIME.

Is this a case of schizophrenia George Lucas editing, or legal threats. Who knows.

Conclusion

I have left a lot of stuff out because it either isn't funny it is purely just deranged ramblings.

But as you can imagine Iskall eventually had enough of them not doing work within deadlines, asking exorbitant prices, and spending 8 months doing nothing so eventually was removed from the project

And despite them hit peicing Iskall specifically as the lead of the project, it seems there was a mass agreement with the rest of the devs were sick of their shit.

Literally keep yourself safe foid.

ONCE AGAIN I HAVE TO REMIND YOU ALL THAT THERE ARE STRAGGOTS READING THIS THREAD THAT WOULD STILL HAVE S*X WITH WOMEN.

No... we want to get away from this crap, not get drawn in further.

Weird that Israel is on board.

It's not weird at all. It will be American soldiers who get attacked and not the IDF. They get what they want without assuming the risk

American $$$$$$$ American lives. For a fricking sand war that will never end. NOT A FAN OF THIS BS AND WHY I TOLD EVERYONE NOT TO SIGN UP FOR THE MILITARY EVEN UNDER TRUMP.

but i thought he was the most peaceful president ever

This is dumb

We were on such a winning train until this move. Why put American lives at risk in a place full of wild muslim terrorists.

You are a scared and weak cuck.

We will bomb the crap out of Gaza and take all their resources and women and be richer and stronger than ever

surely the average joe will get richer

Can't say that I'm on board with this idea. What happened to America First?

This is America First. You're just not smart enough to understand how.

Why? What use is that shithole to us? What use are those shithole people to us? Frick that noise, let Israel deal with their own problem using their own money.

Trump tower Gaza

Lots of sleeper accounts with little to no post history yelling the loudest about this right now.

everyone i don't like is a bot

This is a brilliant decision. I know we don't want to get involved but what this is doing is daring the terrorists to frick with us. If they do anything now in the Gaza Strip we can bomb the shit out of them because we can say Iran and all those other idiots declared war on the United States.

It'll make the Democrats side with Muslim extremists and Iran and further expose them.

Which will convert Jews in the US to the Republican Party.

It will kill all Democrat fund raising except in Portland, San Francisco, and other Blue shitholes.

If us doing the peacekeeping works, congrats we've also ended all war in the Middle East.

If they attack us, we get to forcefully end the wars in the Middle East.

I don't like putting our soldiers in harm's way but this truly is the strongest deterrent to unchecked mayhem.

Let's stop pretending Taylor is some kind of helpless baby who's trapped in this relationship - she's obviously fine with dating a Trump supporter. She's a typical billionaire who's insulated from everything that's happening and about to happen to America and idk why she gets special treatment. (7874)

Listen I don't know a fricking thing about this subreddit and idk even know why it's recommended honestly but you hear me this:For as much good as taytay loves to purport I'll say this much as an aviation veteran with a decade experience working with private jets: this woman can frick right the frick off. The amount of fuel she shits into the atmosphere on the regular is worthy darn near of a war crime. Not to mention just the idea of how unabashedly gaudy it is, flashing her billions around while charging what, 4-500USD a ticket?I'm over the Taylor bullshit and I'm fricking left as they come. Way fricking left. (6)

Angriness: 😡😡😡🔘🔘

I'll likely be downkongd for this but this is just your standard straight down the middle athlete answer during media week, if you have a problem with the answer [which is fair] then it's less about him as an individual and more about the NFL's media training and stance as a whole. The same journ*list asked everyone else the same question on both teams and they all answered pretty much the same. They do it to create as little headlines and distractions as possible before the big game. The only reason this may get more attention despite a similar neutral answer to everyone else is because of the TS connection.We have seen Trump speak negatively on both Travis and Taylor previously. As someone who isn't much of a fan of his or the Chiefs he's publicly supported and advocated for causes and groups that are diametrically opposed to Trump. Whether it be Kelce's public stance on guns, LGBT rights, BLM movement or vaccination. There is also a podcast appearance where he says Trump is racis... (766)

This is a dude that kneeled with teammates during the national anthem, who donates to inner city youth, and is generally a decent dude doing pro-vaccine commercials, and other things. I don't know his personal beliefs, but he's also the ultimate team player. He's the least likely guy to make a media mistake during the biggest week of his life at the Superbowl. He didn't say he loves Donald Trump and he didn't say Frick him. Both that would blow up the story. He just said the President coming is an honor. It would be for any President that the head of the nation wants to watch you play. Even if they are not someone you like or support. Now, that saying Trump sucks, F him would cause trouble with his team, team owner, league, fan base, half the country, that is what really sucks. Not Travis's answer. For being a Chiefs fan, I don't like the NFL limiting players free speech by threat of job loss, the owners make the game almost unwatchable knowing that you are stuffing money i... (167)

The ultra premium all inclusive version with 7 days "early access" (paying extra to play a single player game early LMAO) is $130 and people who were grifted into buying it are not happy.

The largest map size in the game at launch is "normal."

Continent generation is broken beyond belief.

The UI was designed for console babbies and a complete mess on PC.

For a 4x strategy game there is very little info in game on how things work.

Maximum 5 human players for multiplayer.

All fixable problems tbh and I'm sure when I buy it in two years for 75% off it will be a very good game. People who spent $130 to beta test are getting exactly what they deserve.

What's funniest to me is there are very few complaints about the game itself. By all accounts it's a very fun civ game and a worthy successor to civ vi.
