My favorites of the new-to-me horror movies I watched in October:

Open Water 2 (2006)
Child’s Play (1988)
The Shallows (2017)
Lake Mungo (2008) ImageImageImageImage Open Water 2 takes the first movie’s chilling and spare premise and hybridizes it with a classic slasher, which I love

I think a lot abt how boomers are alarmed by what they see as millennial inactivity--our rented rooms, lack of purchases, houseplant children--& how their lives were often abt doing BIG things for their BIG careers w/o thinking abt the consequences. We live in the consequences. It's like swooping through a big buffet, loading your plate, and then wondering why ppl in the next group are just eating rolls? And trying to take rolls out to the parking lot to give to the people out there who can't get into the buffet? What's happening??

I was talking to a fellow chronic people pleaser who said she couldn't fault people who treated her like a gf/therapist/emotional laborer bc she didn't draw hard boundaries against it--she didn't tell them NO, but went along w/ it. She called this "consent." I disagree. There's the kind of consent people can assume you're giving by NOT proactively, assertively telling them NO, and then there's enthusiastic, affirmative consent: saying YES.

The craziest part of ROSEMARY'S BABY is that a man sells his wife to satanists when his career is already doing well enough that he can afford an apartment with CENTRAL PARK VIEWS The genius of Ira Levin is the villainy of his husbands, here and in STEPFORD. Robots gonna robot, satan gonna Satan. Husbands have no excuse.

There have been times--my whole life until the last couple years, really--when I almost wanted some forgotten trauma, some baby-eating cult, to show me that the emotional brokenness I felt was not my fault, had come from outside me, was real Because it's just hard to accept that people you love and who loved you also traumatized you and gave you a very hanky road map to love and adulthood. It's hard to access your anger at parents who did their best but were also flawed and mean and scared
