I know I’ve said this before on here but I’ll say it again because I’m doing a rewatch because why the hell not:

Ghost Whisperer was a much better show when it was doing creepy mytharc plots. I again just finished all the plane crash stuff from the end of season one and it was *chef’s kiss.* The signs leading up to the plane crash. The frozen ghosts. The foreshadowing with Andrea’s brother. (Or, well, with Andrea, period.) Melinda’s frantic search for a recent downed plane only to have the pilot finally tell her that they’re still in the air. The plane streaking low across Main Street and the final boom as it crashes just off camera.

You guys, that shit is gold.

Even the mass crossing-over from the second part beautifully works, in all its cheesiness, partly because the stage was set for it but also because of the select few that decide to stay with Creepy Hat Guy, who seems to want to use spirits for unknown nefarious purposes.

And I know there’s more stuff like this ahead, the stuff about the lost souls in the tunnels under Grandview (and the fact that those tunnels are in fact another town under Grandview) and even the stuff in the last season about the bad spirits (shadows) trying to swallow up the good spirits, which were eventually revealed to be spirits of children.

I mean, I like the show, clearly, enough that I’m doing a rewatch but it does kinda bum me out sometimes that 90% of the show was essentially Touched by an Angel, but with ghosts, when they were so good at the creepy stuff on the rare occasions they did do it.

Okay but if the rumors turn out to be true, then let it be known that I am officially triple-daring Illumination to make a faithful adaptation of Majora's Mask. No, they are not allowed to alter any story elements or character designs to make it more appealing to general audiences. Commit to the horror and existential dread, you cowards. Make a film that is so genuinely unnerving that every critic who bashed the Mario movie for being "too simple" will regret everything they ever said.

Across the Spider-verse is 10/10 in animation, story, voice acting, and soundtrack (minor spoilers)

To all the people who “Spider-Man can’t be black!” in 2018, Imma need y’all to hold that L indefinitely. Due to the concept of the multiverse, Spider-Man is literally all races, creeds, and backgrounds and it’s canon. There’s Indian, Muslima, paraplegic, Latino, and 4 different black Spider-people. The movie is 2hrs and 20-ish minutes, so PLEASE don’t bring your toddler cuz their attention span is gonna plummet an hour in. The plot of this movie is for the people who saw the first movie, so it’s matured with the original audience. Miguel O’Hara wants to preserve the multiverse (saving billions of lives), meaning each Spider-person’s story has to play out the same (get bit by a spider, your uncle dies, police captain dies). Miles Morales was NEVER supposed to be Spider-man (remember his spider came from Universe 42). Miguel’s all like “you’re not supposed to be Spider-Man but since you ARE Spider-Man, your police captain dad needs to die to keep your story consistent with the rest of us.” Miles response is “Hol’ up, you want me to sit back and let my dad die? I know these deaths make us who we are, but if we have the power to save people, then we should do the responsible thing and save them.” Both Miguel and Miles think they’re doing the responsible thing (letting canon play out vs saving lives regardless of canon). Miguel is lawful evil, believing the needs of the many outweigh the few. Miles’s very existence disrupts Spider-man canon, but he IS Spider-Man, whether he was fated to be or not. Also, Miguel keeps saying that the Spot is the huge threat to the multiverse then spends 15 minutes chasing down Miles, diverting a good portion of his resources to capturing him. HELLO, I thought you said the Spot >> Miles so why are you focusing on one kid and not the multiverse-ending superbeing?

Some slightly more coherent thoughts about Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (ATSV) now that I've had a little time to process and long to return to the theater to see it again and again and again:

1 ) Go see it. Holy shit, go see it. Re-watch Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (ITSV) before you go if you have the chance but you don't have to, they recap it well enough and I promise anyway, the first thing you're gonna do when you get home after is turn ITSV on and then scream a bunch because it is all so tightly connected from the very beginning.

2 ) ITSV is a masterpiece. ATSV is more of a masterpiece in the same way that 11 is bigger than 10. They took everything in ITSV, which is a perfect 10/10 and made it 11/10 for this film. I shit you not. It cannot be otherwise expressed with words. Everything is just bigger, faster, bolder, more.

Ok, now getting into some of the more spoiler-y thoughts:

it’s funny how quickly you get desensitized to comic book nonsense like mister sinister is an insane name for a fictional character it’s so goofy but when i read his name i’m like this is not a laughing matter. we’re talking about cyclops’ traumatic secret laser beam eyeball orphanage surgery backstory. stop laughing.

Tumblr staff: ten options is enough for polls, right? No one needs more than that on a regular basis. The average tumblr user: Hey guys which element of the periodic table do you think is the most fuckable?

"dont die" is my favorite thing to tell people when they say theyre gonna go do something. going to the store? dont die. going to the bathroom? don't die. going to Mars? don't die. going to write an email? don't die. driving to the gas station? don't die. it fits every situation except for maybe a funeral visitation because then i think thatd be a little bit rude

computergirls will say they dont have a crush on you when you can LITERALLY hear their fans going at max speed
