man the practical costume effects in Pacific Rim are so cool. the liquid drain down the clear helmets do is yet unexplained but very spooky. lots of good character actors in this one too.

DS9 had a few horror movie episodes. There's the one where Garak goes crazy, and then the one where Odo goes crazy. And the one where Keiko gets possessed by a demon.

I read the Resident Evil books in jr high, and the Episode III novelization in high school which famously has a more competent fleshing out of plot and motivation than the movie

speaking of horny, my college roommate got me God Hates Us All, the novelization of the book David Duchovny wrote in Californication. It was awful. I don't remember much, but I remember frequent errors, corny prose and feeling like it was a ripoff of Catcher in the Rye but with raunchy sex scenes. one of the Dexter books gets real weird with it, canonically making Dexter's Dark Passenger the biblical Moloch, who has been body hopping through the ages and compelling people to do evil

I watched the 3rd Guardians of the Galaxy film and I have to rate it actually not too bad and worthwhile to watch. Minimal "that just happened" so the emotional moments hang on for longer, thus making the intentionally funny parts work better in contrast, and the bad guy really works as a believable completely evil psychopath.

Mid century novelizations can be fantastic. I suppose because there was no home video then? The novelizations of My Fair Lady and Gigi have notes on the adapted texts by Shaw and Colette, for example, and adapt the book of the stage musicals, the scene composition of the film versions, find creative ways to describe motivation and characterization that is otherwise sung through in the libretto etc. I would imagine the quality of novelizations cratered after VHS?

Civil War was fun. I went in totally blind and read it as largely a satire: gritty war journalism film BUT in the most moronic and apolitical country in world history. At no point in the movie do we get any sense that any average person would have reason to particularly side with one faction or the other, there’s no real sense that anything is really at stake ideologically. And it’s funny how much that is making people melt down considering, hello, that’s the state of the U.S. right now? Imagining a U.S. civil war as anything but a bunch of broadly centrist establishment types turning the guns of empire on each other is outlandish. Also cool that the NYTs of the world think it’s an ode to the power and trauma of war journalists when all the movie’s war journalists are portrayed as huge morons with absolutely no coherent theory or understanding of the conflict they cover, it’s never suggested that their work makes a difference in the world in any way, they are literally just egotistical freaks running around chasing the libidinal thrill of being in a war zone.

A good War Journalism media was the mini-series Generation Kill. That very much put the journo embed person firmly in their place as the least important person in the whole conflict.
