Cowabunga Forever

//I felt this one

Grace at 3 am with what’s left of his sleep deprived brain struggling: hot buns this is the best essay I’ve read all year. I’m giving this student two stars

//one reaction I was watching, two people who knew the book really well and watched the movie together, pointed out that book-->movie changes that were actually really needed was humanizing Stratt and also making Yao and others more likeable because the movie would be less moving if they really portrayed them with the cold/dark characters they came across as. Book Stratt was perfect, but I also really liked that for Movie Stratt it was clearly very hard for her to send Grace, though there was no question she would. It made the movie much more relatable to the broader audience it needed to appeal to.

//honestly….

！！！！！

//fyi the fact that the music theme for Grace meeting Rocky and being chased at the end is killing me

//also PHM reactions are my life now. There is nothing else worth watching on the internets right now

Simon saying "fuck that" to literally every other problem was so real of him. He really felt like one of the top five horror movie protagonists that I've watched. Cursing up a storm seeing the dark crawlspace for the first time. Labelling the map with stuff like "buncha rocks" and "alien shit". Drinking the rubbing alcohol like it's the last liquor shot he's gonna get before deployment. Wasting almost all of his tape just trying keep that damn button taped down. The more I think about him the more I'm delighted by him. Mark played him so damn well

Yesss! He really felt like a human and not a scripted character.

You, an elf, married a human, built a small farm and raised children. Your children grew up, had families, and started farms nearby. So did their children, and those children’s children. Now your many descendants have formed a bustling city and you are known as the official “town grandparent”.

//yeah, that sounds like someone I know
