@YayForThat @HangFireBooks @MargaretSefton Yes, with such works, I tend to read more into the authorial intent.

The sexual violence and gaslighting in the original #EvilDead, the rape by the woods, played as a gag. It's something to groan at, lecherous and prurient.

I could see wanting to comment on such problematic elements, while also paying homage. There's no doubt a great deal of love expressed for the movies, not ridicule.

Unique film for sure!

His makeup, wardrobe, his name is even Bruce… 😅

In many of the scenes, especially with it being in 16mm, I had the feeling that I was watching a retelling of the Ash character, but with genuine mythology behind it and Bruce’s character as the antagonist.

The scenes where each tries to convince himself in the mirror that he’s fine stick out to me.

Here is Bruce Campbell’s head wound makeup:

I mean he looked like a fish on a river bank.

@MargaretSefton @YayForThat So any of you feel at any time you were watching what my be Ash’s breakdown in Evil Dead 2? That 16mm and his wardrobe out in the woods, the madness…

Is it obvious or am I reaching?
If I look at what Ash did: broke into someone’s cabin, cut up his girlfriend, shot another woman guiding the owner’s daughter to cabin, and then nearly kills the daughter. 🤷☢️👨‍🦳

Can we please take a moment to appreciate these credits, which are so great that you can't help but want to watch them to the end. It made me laugh so hard. How Ruben just gives his all there... It was glorious. 😂😬

I have a bit of a feeling "Men" is the arrogant, older gate keeper sister of #AWoundedFawn, who is a charming, playful, less heady, less pretentious but just as smart, well-read person. 😂🙈

I love this. When you are rewarded for having specific knowledge in a movie, without being made to feel like you've missed something without it.

Tangentially, that's a huge criticism I levy against the MCU.

I have not yet seen #men but it's on my watchlist

@MargaretSefton Meredith seems to have really evolved to the point where there is no long such a thing as unconditional trust. I found this to be of great importance.

She is intuitively working things out even before her mind begins to process.

Bruce is already haunted by his own demons, but when she is able to realize his game, he has to fight against the demons of the women he's hurt and killed.
