I'm glad I did the film because of who I met but it was the worst set experience of my (and multiple others) life.

The director is a total schmuck.

He DOES talk to the head guy every year and his foresight is real

I actually felt this with my public domain take. I made a PG Popeye movie where he's the hero and there's no blood, but few of the folks asking for that take on public domain characters supported it.

The horror versions all made WAY more money.

I already beat this challenge back in June 2025. Wally Meets Popeye is the only Popeye film of 2025 that is rated PG and makes Popeye the hero fighting a monster in what is essentially a live action cartoon.

Only interested in this if Phil is a force of powerful good that constantly is fighting back the eldritch horror.

Everyone always said I was insane for liking the second film, so it was easy for me to dismiss and ignore folks saying Return was bad too.

This time everyone is right and I am so sad about it.

Return to Silent Hill was the worst of the three films by far. An adaptation that misses the mark in so many ways, is often confusing (especially if it's meant to be the same world as the other films), and falls flat at pretty much every level

Let down since I like the first two films.

Silent Hill 2 was based on Silent Hill 3 but today I'm checking out Silent Hill 3 which was based on Silent Hill 2 which wasn't actually a sequel to Silent Hill 1

28 Years Later Bone Temple was cool and a hell of a ride. But I do prefer the heart and beautiful story told in the second half of the previous film.

Very curious about the story of the next film though.

Always appreciated you folks giving me and my films shout outs over the years, often felt like the only local news source that went out of its way to support local artists in some way.

This is a sad day and I'm so sorry.

Got into an argument with the co-cinematographer I hired. He kept refusing to use the red light because it wasn't coming from anywhere in the room.

I had to pull out the "it's coming from the same place the music is."

Deeply appreciate you giving the sequel a chance and genuinely glad you enjoyed it! Looking forward to your thoughts on 3.

Since you liked 2 you *MIGHT* enjoy Curtains for Christmas, our Christmas horror from last year. It just hit Tubi today (also on Prime and The Roku Channel).

This is not a drill!! Curtains for Christmas is FINALLY on Tubi.

I need everyone to PLEASE stream this today (even if just in the background) to push this in the algorithm.
