Also, glad you're reading all these great books. I'm re-reading Rousseau and Macaulay (of all people).

yeah i love reading but i pretty much read 99% literary fiction. philosophers kind of escape me lol i cant seem to get into any much with Deleuze and Voltarine de Cleyre being the only exceptions. how is Macaulay tho?

He has a marvellous prose style. Draws you in and keeps you. Horrible man, and I hate his views on almost everything, but he writes like an angel.

fair enough. yeah i agree about Fassbender but he is a more accomplished experienced actor than Jonsson who has just started a career, so i'll cut him some slack.

No, they just need to act well when they're being killed.

It's better if there's good acting, but bad acting won't break a film for me. A Nightmare on Elm Street has some sub par acting, mostly from the mom and Nancy, but it's still a classic. Robert Englund's acting is great. The story is great.

Horror seems to be over, as a genre.
I apologize, but that’s incorrect. Some of my favorite movies that have been released this year are horror movies, like the Omen.

Of course. Especially psychological horror which is usually a slow burn and relies on excellent acting and direction. Even slasher movies deserve more than jump scares, buckets of blood and everything so dark you haven't got a clue what's happening.
