one of the most thrilling watchalongs I’ve ever done with my mother and sister. Fascinating to watch post actual conclave and american pope! my father left twenty minutes in because he was bored while my mum and I discussed our pope picks

It’s not breaking new ground but sometimes it’s just nice to feel like there is something other than endless bleakness in the world. Everyone deserves a creative outlet; everyone deserves to be treated like a human.

Yes I cried the whole way through Tony Todd’s monologue! I was cackling! This is the deeply unserious horror I crave!

I the first movie being at least kind of vibey and stylish, even if the characters were unlikeable; this time the clothes look bad and Blake lively’s hair is fried.

everything is back to normal (I have once again seen all the Scooby Doo movies to date)

they’ve gotta stop giving Daphne the Ariana grande blackface tan it looks absurd - this one was fun though

I liked Until Dawn as a game playing on old horror tropes, but I found all of the parts of this movie trying to handwring in plot points from the game were by far the worst parts of it. Otherwise, it had some surprisingly decent scares (and a really messily constructed final act).

I love boobies went platinum in my apartment

kind of just The Village meets the Alexandre Aja playbook for women’s mental heath (aka “bitches crazy”) and unless you’re going to actually engage with the mental health stuff you’re consistently putting out there I’d rather watch something more fun

Head me out: does the green and pink thing better than wicked

Not necessarily good but has wild implications about prince harry that I will be thinking about for hours

objectively not the worst movie I’ve ever seen but uhhh pretty bad

ok this isn’t a masterpiece and yes it is fixated on evoking nostalgia but also….it’s kinda nice to be the demographic to be nostalgia baited! I get it! I do think it would have been wildly more effective if Julian Dennison’s character had been around longer and not just because I want Kiwis to thrive in Hollywood!

ing a girlfriend and then typing "motherlode" in a bunch

I do feel like this gave up the game a little easy and I would have liked to see this treatment by a woman! but sophie thatcher absolutely incredible

spent the whole movie waiting for Chris Parker to turn up again and was sorely disappointed

otherwise a silly goofy slasher with Jordana Brewster kinda reviving Lucy Diamond aura? Which appealed to me

Took a while to get rolling but once it did, it was delightful

kind of felt like a children’s movie with a few fun kills. I think I would have enjoyed this if it was about 20% sillier or 30% more serious. Fun performances, but a script that felt edited out of cohesion.

ok for some reason watching this with my sister made me so emotional, we both got teary

My sister loves watching saw movies etc with me but found this one terrifying

not a good movie, per se (very clearly a short film stretched out) but Kelly Marie Tran was great and it was very effectively upsetting to me, a person who compulsively picks at my skin. In the way that horror is best when it makes you feel things, this definitely made me feel awful.

Spent the whole movie stressed because I can’t handle pets in distress. Found parts of this very compelling!

As a single woman turning 30 I found the entire setup section infuriating (stop telling women they’re wasting 10 years of their lives if they’re single at 30!). As a listener of podcasts, I found every podcast segment infuriating (that podcast sucked). The girls really carried and it got better as it went on but ooh the first half was a real slog.

man door hand hook car door!!! I feel like I’ve known all these stories all of my life so it was weird seeing them played out. Not good, not bad, but definitely 90s.

she’s just like me fr

I got teary eyed every time Colin Firth was on screen. Would have been almost perfect if we got rid of the egregious segment where Netflix showcase their product and also the occasional lines about how hideous women’s aging bodies are (sadly quintessential to Bridget Jones canon)

Really a movie about how a haircut can slide a man right up and down the spectrum of attractiveness (and also how we all have our own little evil monkey)

I’ve seen first person film before, but this felt like some of the most seamless and honest storytelling in a way that never felt gimmicky or put on; it felt like a life lived, like a chance taken. Left me exhausted, of course, but from a directorial perspective I’m excited to see where next.

should’ve been gayer AND should’ve just rewatched book club AND if we’re making shitty movies for actors of note at LEAST let them go to Italy or Australia or whatever! Diane Keaton will just go wherever you let her wear her turtlenecks

I love these movies (older women go on a trip! have a good time!) but this one was a mess! Anyway glad everyone’s having fun, glad Sheryl Lee Ralph looks so fantastic

really plays on the creeping disabled fear that even if you didn’t have your disability you’d still be a failure; and I guess by extension the everybody fear that even if you were super hot people still wouldn’t be into you specifically. anyway love that there’s a pimple popping freak and plenty of gross stuff in this so I got to feel represented even from a non disability perspective.

ok the real story this is based on is actually so much worse, I think this could have been way more intense and also, crucially, better

sorry but they want me to root for some British guys? No thanks

oh they’re going to love him in

visiting this movie after the dust has settled and I guess my overall take is that the AI shit adds literally nothing and feels especially egregious for something that relies so heavily on its 70s aesthetic. so that can fuck off.

and even aside from that: I think this movie is kind of high on its own style, which is cool! But it results in a bit of a lack of substance. Many people have commented on the confusion between the mixture of found relic, documentary, and backstage black and white footage (all of which makes it less jarring when we do the style shift at the end, which should be a severe shift). It’s trying a lot of things, but I wish it was a little bit more focused.

I have a terrible headache and wanted to watch a comforting movie but it really does take on a new lens watching it through a culture that it was a part of shifting and also without the surroundings of a society that’s obsessed with making you like Julia Roberts (who is kind of famously a bit of a bitch! Lovingly! This movie really leans into that and doesn’t try to paint her as anything else! She’s a bitch because she’s in love!). It’s a weird movie full of messy people and it works because it’s perfectly cast.

Anyway the backstory being Julia and Dermot having agreed that they would get married if they were single at 28, and both being 28 years old…………….madness.

lady tottington was kind of the blueprint

Not for me (you have to do more than just put Nicolas Cage in and get Christian Bale’s ass out in the first 10 minutes to win me over when you’re doing a historical wartime romantic drama) but did make me want to braid my hair and live on a Greek island

Not sure where I stand with Birdeater. On the one hand, extremely effective in conveying the terror that comes from a very specific kind of Australian masculinity. It feels moody and evocative and messy in a very authentic way. But I don’t know that it pulls it together narratively, which is where it just kind of misses the mark as a horror movie for me.

Not good by any means but a totally serviceable movie to have on in the background while you do a puzzle of vintage movie posters and a great argument for putting Lil Rel in more stuff

brb pitching Nick Park a full 90 minute film where Gromit tends to a lovely little garden in the sunshine and is free from Wallace, the bane of his existence

breaks the fundamental rule of a horror movie (be scary) but instead makes you aware of a new set of rules around doing tarot with someone else's deck

cannot believe that one of my first dates ever was to see this movie and that he was pulling the same move the boys pull during their Face Punch movie-going date with Bella in the movie...humiliating to recall

if they released a 3 hour directors cut of this and all that was added was more baseball, it would be my favourite movie of all time

I liked this a lot (and the friend I saw it with loved it) but I do share the sentiment of some other reviewers that I wish there had been a bit more love given to Anora herself so that we could feel the gravity in her choices and the people she surrounds herself with and that the men she intertwines her life with weren’t the be all and end all. It filled me with a lot of complicated feelings regarding my own long ago experiences in the sex work industry and I’m not sure where I come out on this particular portrayal, but it also made me laugh a lot! Swings and roundabouts.

writers in Hollywood really just hated women (any stars are for the women pulling their weight in this lazy sexist movie)

I get it now. A good Christmas movie feels warm even when you don’t care about Christmas, and creates that air effortlessly. We also need men to keep dressing like it’s the 70s.

merry christmas, I watched longlegs for the first time! visually quite stunning and the performances were good across the board but I'm not sure I was entirely won over by the story, which feels like it might think it's more interesting and unique than it actually is

the lead roles may be played by Jewish people but I have never seen or heard less Jewish old people. They couldn’t have scooped up some old jewish ladies? Anyway it’s fun to have a silly holiday movie for Hannukah but I’m in a weird place with my own Judaism right now where I feel suspicious entering Jewish spaces because it’s so hard to untangle them deep set toxicity

being hot is not enough

imagine chickening out of that threesome

felt like this movie (and book) was trying to say the following:

1) you only retain value when disabled if you're exceptionally wealthy
2) your life is "less than" if you're disabled
3) you should kys if you're high assistance needs disabled
4) if you do decide to end your life, you're incapable of making that decision

so that really made me, as a disabled woman, feel phenomenal

The things I like and not necessarily the things that are good!

Please redirect your complaints elsewhere, we all know I have terrible taste. 2-4 star ratings are subject to change and aren't linear because a lot can vary based on how culturally insensitive they are or how weird the animation is. This list includes every Scooby Doo original movie I have seen (plus the weird specials, like Night of the Living Doo and Scooby Doo Project). All points have been considered, from musical numbers to voice work (what can I say, I stan Lillard Shaggy) to animation to Daphne's characterisation to Fred's outfits. I'm nothing if not thorough.

I WILL eventually watch Scooby Doo and Kryptoo Too!

1. Scooby-Doo

   I will forgive Raja Gosnell for Show Dogs (2018) because he gave us the ICONIC Scooby Doo (2002). As a child, I broke this DVD from watching it so much. Give us the R rated cut, James Gunn.

2. Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed

   A commentary on context! The media landscape! Some classic Scooby villains! Linda Cardellini in an orange latex catsuit!

3. Scooby-Doo! and the Witch's Ghost

   This v. Zombie Island are pretty neck and neck but I think I slightly prefer this - I love the villain in this one, and it feels a hair less racially insensitive

4. Trick or Treat Scooby-Doo!

   I could be overrating this because gay velma, but in my defence, gay velma

5. Scooby-Doo! Camp Scare

   I'm such a sucker for camp stories, fun songs and everything except for the unnecessarily sexy drawings of the girls in this one

6. Scooby-Doo! and the Curse of the 13th Ghost

   Deeply underrated because it's new and because people don't understand how cool this is with regard to the Scooby lore. Nolan North is an EXCELLENT Flim Flam, and this was a movie that launched me into the history of Scooby cartoons and the connections of the universes and the reasons Brazil has two entries in the Scooby wiki. This movie gives the whole gang stuff to do and gives me my favourite thing, kickass Daphne in motorcycle gear and nervous breakdown Fred.

7. Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island

   and THEN they were cat people? Wild

8. Scooby-Doo! & Batman: The Brave and the Bold

   Some crossovers? Bad. This one? Literally the only reason I've ever cared about comic books.

9. The Scooby-Doo Project

   Peak horror cinema

10. Scooby-Doo! and the Cyber Chase

    I know Zombie Island is the most popular animated movie but this one invented existentialism

Ranked by enjoyment, so star ratings might not correlate with their placements. Like the sight of Russell Crowe on his little vespa really got me through so much.

• Bottoms

  I love women

• Theater Camp

  genuinely just so good

• Joy Ride

  Stupid and raunchy and fun

• Talk to Me

  miserable and oppressive while also being fun?

• Barbie

  allan spin-off when

• Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

  loses all sense of narrative but is still just so gorgeous 

• Fast X

  pure, unadulterated fan service (and I am fan)

• Saw X

  legitimately quite excellent (even though John Kramer is a little baby)

• Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves

  Silly goofy stuff

• Poor Things

  I feel so conflicted about this I just know I’m going to change this ranking a million times

These movies are not all great movies (some of them are) and are not in any particular order, but they are all movies I would describe as "joyous" or "like getting a big hug". I tried to cross genres, and I am genuinely proud of recommending every single movie in this list.

Yes, even Barbie as Princess and the Pauper. Watch that movie and tell me it does not bring a smile to your face.

• Sing Street

  Just a phenomenal movie! Every song is amazing, and the presence of the songs makes the movie better, and it is awkward but not uncomfortable and I just adore it.

• Paddington

  The biggest hug of a movie I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. I cry every time, and not out of sadness, but out of pure disbelief that anything could be this good.

• My Neighbor Totoro

  This movie is so simple and beautiful but somehow compelling in its blend of magic and wonder and fantasy.

• Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit

  All of the W&G shorts are valid entries! Watch Grand Day Out or A Close Shave or A Matter of Loaf and Death! These movies remind me of my Northerner grandfather, and it's as though he's right here with me, making silly jokes and talking about cheese. This movie skewers horror films, which I love, and prioritises kindness, which I adore.

• Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping

  One of the funniest movies of the last decade, and different parts will catch me off guard each time. Effortlessly watchable, takes glee in comic form.

• 8 Women

  A murder mystery musical! Women! Charming vibes! A few problems, sure, but so lovely and easy to get lost in.

• Paddington 2

  This is just a movie about buying your favourite woman the perfect gift and I think that is beautiful.

• The Birdcage

  This movie is like coming home to a family who love you just as you are, even if your own family is not like that. There are plenty of people in this movie who shouldn't feel loved or accepted, but who find it in queerness and created family. I love it.

• What We Do in the Shadows

  Sometimes you just need a good giggle, and I can guarantee that every time I sit with this movie, I'll find a new thing to fix on. A lot of Waititi movies are big hug movies - I think Wilderpeople deserves a spot on here - but for a horror nerd like me who seeks solstice in silly slashers and gore fests, this is a soothing balm.

• To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar

  This movie cops flack for essentially being the soft and fluffy version of Priscilla Queen of the Desert and I for one love and value that so much, especially when I need the big warm embrace of a movie full of tenderness and care.

This order has very little to do with quality and almost everything to do with chaos and deep set impact on my life

• Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

  Just a great movie

• Con Air

  might actually just be one of my favourite movies

• Raising Arizona

  mostly gets this high because it’s actually a good movie and also because I find Nicolas cage quite hot in it? Wonders may never cease

• Face/Off

  absolutely magical in the most part because Nicolas cage and John Travolta are going toe to toe in chaotic energy

• National Treasure

  this is like max cage chaos reigned in to be fun for families

• Vampire's Kiss

  probably the movie that I quote the most?

• Knowing

  no one cares about knowing but I….I care about knowing a lot

• Gone in Sixty Seconds

  You know I apparently love car movies

• Next

  One of my favourites for sheer bafflement

• Pig

  genuinely a restrained and subtle performance in a very interesting portrait of grief and loneliness

I finished watching and ranking all of the Scooby Doo movies and I turned my attention to the other film franchise that shaped me other than Saw movies - Barbie movies. I've rationalised this carefully, but am happy to get into extensive debate on almost anything other than the intensity of my love for Barbie as The Princess and The Pauper.

This is a work in progress. I'm getting there, but it’s constantly evolving depending on mood.

1. Barbie as The Princess & the Pauper

   The songs? Genuine bangers. The plot? Coherent and intricately wound. The villain? Shrieks inexplicably. This movie trusts kids with concepts and long words and the protagonists are likeable and the stakes are high and the love interests are decent but also??? It's definitely gay!

2. Barbie in the Nutcracker

   I know this is everyone’s favourite barbie movie and it did make me want to ditch being Jewish to celebrate Christmas but princess and the pauper just slaps harder sorry

3. Barbie: Dolphin Magic

   This is a huge claim but I genuinely think that Barbie: Dolphin Magic might be a return to Barbie form for the franchise??? Forget rock stars, Barbie is at their best when it's all about gay mermaids.

4. Barbie: Big City, Big Dreams

   the music in this one is phenomenal but also? this is the gayest shit I've ever seen

5. Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses

   I can't believe that as a child my sister made me watch Cheaper by the Dozen a million times instead of this

6. Barbie as Rapunzel

   Angelica Houston KILLS IT as Gothel

7. Barbie & Her Sisters in the Great Puppy Adventure

   When Barbie and her sisters get into that cavern? That animation is genuinely spellbinding! And the puppies? Puppies really do be like that!

8. Barbie in A Mermaid Tale

   This movie duo rocks. More mermaid barbie movies.

9. Barbie & Her Sisters in A Pony Tale

   Apparently I'm really into the Barbie and Her Sisters movies. I really like the dynamic and caregiver Barbie and I'm a huge Skipper fan and it's genuinely lovely watching Stacy and Chelsea grow up!

10. Barbie and the Three Musketeers

    Barbie Fights Sexism!!!!!! All Barbie Women Are Lesbians!!! I Love This!!!

• Barb & Star Go to Vista Del Mar

  better than the scooby doo wrestling crossovers, worse than the scooby doo batman crossover? I think? but then again, my rankings are constantly changing. really fun for nostalgic purposes

• Fear Street: 1994

  sorry but I loved a Netflix movie

• Scooby-Doo! The Sword and the Scoob

  A really good recent scoob movie! Real estate is a scam!

  The weirdest thing about this movie is that my mum didn’t like it

oops all scoobies (the rankings on this are based on how they've sat with me and my personal enjoyment of the movie or love for it, which doesn't always align with the rating I gave it; especially with things like Scooby Doo and Barbie, where my rating system is only slightly higher skewed and is slightly different between the two. There's also a lot of movies that I thought were good but that didn't personally connect - like Swiss Army Man, for instance - or movies like Snake Island which gave me so many laughs that it ranks much higher than it deserves for what a terrible movie it was. May be deeply inconsistent with my independent rankings of Barbie and Scooby movies because GUYS I watched nearly 400 movies in 2019)

  Okay, that guy who told me to watch this one on a really bad date was right, I forgive him

  Probably the DVD I own that is the most scratched up and damaged from rewatching! My sister and I are big Doo-Heads!

  This one's in there twice! I don't know why!
