Bingo! My exact reasoning.

I will see any Lowery movie even if I donāt love the last for that reason. Dudeās got signatures that no one else executes.
Itās a rad combo!
MOTHER MARY keeps the streak of engaging pop star genre flicks going strong, but what else did you expect from David Lowery?
A touch of Peter Stricklandās In Fabric, and a dash of Luca Guadagninoās tantric Suspiria remake set the tone. Beautiful to behold, if a little wordy and too flowery.
āSo Coldā was my forever MySpace song.
#GodzillaMinusZero teaser dropping the day before @donatobomb.bsky.socialās birthday? It was meant to be!
LEE CRONIN'S THE MUMMY is a mummy flick in Evil Dead cosplay, which becomes a distraction.
It's also too damn long, too damn choppy, and the scope gets away from Cronin at two and a quarter hours long. Weird Choices: The Movie!
Yeah I would have loved a bit punchier approach to the horrors, but I donāt think the director ever wanted to veer that way!
(That part is a problem lol.)
Then I did my job!
Oh my god for sure. I was thinking Raimiās production company, but both are WB, totally. That makes it even weirderrr.
I leave that to interpretation! It was a blocker for me, but if what Iām saying gets you excited, then hell yeah.
Iām all for people finding out for themselves. So, I like to let me writing be both a warning and selling point, depending on the person.
Honestly would make all the sense in the world. This literally feels like a hijacked Evil Dead screenplay. Like to the point where Raimi could get a cease and desist.
Just a hilarious amount of work to not be a mummy movie.
I didnāt hear that! That true?
I ordered a T-bone steak and you brought me orange chicken. Huh?
Like, THE MUMMY is so much of an Evil Dead movie I donāt know how Cronin got away with it at another studio lol.
LEE CRONINāS THE MUMMY: If you wanted to make another Evil Dead movie, why tell people youāre making a mummy movie? Weird choices all around. Nasty stuff at times, no doubt, but feels overall like a betrayal. Did they use the wrong title by accident???
THE MUMMY time! I mean, sorry, LEE CRONINāS THE MUMMY time!
This week is nothing but catch-up, including an #Overlook review for one of their opening night specials, EXIT 8.
A pretty fine adaptation of KOTAKE CREATE's strangely liminal walking simulator!
The DD team was at Overlook, where were you??
Thank you Kat! š¤
Thank you Mr. Scott!
Haha thank you!
I will stay silent no longer!
Yeah, I reaaaaally wasn't enthused about the end of 6. Until 7, it was my least favorite finale but otherwise solid!
4 for me just has enough time to breathe. 2 & 3 and are straigh sequels, where 4 has SO MUCH more to say about the genre at that time.
Ok but I've never had Habit and not to pivot but I also think In & Out is overrated. Now I have to try Habit hahaha.
I can hear @brianwcollins.bsky.social cursing my name right now hahah.
SCREAM 4 or ... the best SCREAM sequel. š
at least @pnemiroff.bsky.social got to keep half her head!
