i think there should be less cgi and more practical effects because it just doesnt make you wanna lick blood from a body or fuck a monster like practical effects do. removing practical effects is removing the most important part of cinema which is sex
My most stereotypically white person habit is I really do LOVE saying “looks like we got here at the right time” if a place gets crowded after we’ve been seated
the x files is funny because at the time it was “progressive” or whatever to have the ultra-rational, levelheaded character be a woman
but it’s also a show where all the fucked up alien shit actually is real, so she’s just constantly wrong about everything
What’s funny is how often they’re both wrong. Mulder will be like “the victims all had their livers scooped clean out this is obviously the aliens escalating from cattle mutilation” and Scully will be like “don’t be silly Mulder this is clearly just a serial killer who’s really good with surgical tools” and then it turns out the actual killer is an immortal sewer man who comes out ever quarterly century to feast on human liver.
I cannot stress enough that this is literally the plot of an actual episode
voluntarily deadnaming myself for a second because i always introduce myself to people i’m not out to as “ness, like the monster” and i just realized how funny it would be if that was a normal thing you were expected to do when meeting new people. my name’s ruby like the gem. my name’s george like the guy who slew the dragon. my name’s jeff like. the killer.
