is that the nest of the cuckoo birds? if not, i can't seem to find anything on it.
Sorry, yeah, my mind's in another world. I was close, though. :P
indeed. close enough. looks like it's on youtube if this is right.

I feel like that's an insult to What About Bob.
They should've taken Baby Steps.

I don't get the hype around Barrera.

That's the copy I watched. Some of the audio is a bit muffled (despite the fact this is a restored version of the film from 2017), and I think it's on Mubi (?), but I can't say if the print they have is different.

Same, and even her in those two Scream movies, I think she was out-acted by virtually everyone. She has quite the monster-following online acting like she is the best new Scream Queen she should be bowed to. Meanwhile, I'm like "she's not even the sister I want to see Survive..."

i haven't seen that level of hype, with her. i don't think that of her. i just liked her character in scream 5 and 6. i don't like how she was booted out of the franchise, and it's nice seeing her in something else by those guys. that's all. :P

He actually put a lot time and prep into Shocker, he envisioned it to be a series, film and TV. I'm not seeing that either, but he was ambitious and swinging with this one.

Which is why it's so confusing the background effort, vs the final project, because it reeks of half-ass-dom lol.
