I’m starting to think that some of you aren’t communists, you’re contrarians. Pan’s Labyrinth is magical realism, go sit in a corner.

spoiler

A massive ammount of Latin-American story telling especially Mexican story telling is magical realism, so this kinda pings my “goddamn mayos again”

First time I ran in to the genre was “Bless me Ultima” and which I remember nothing about except that I liked it and that it involved Mexican-Americans somehow.

Pan’s Labyrinth was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.

Captain Vidal scares the shit out of me to this day. It’s an amazing movie but I don’t really want to watch it, solely bc of Vidal.

I like del Toro’s taste in media and fiction, we share some of the same favorite creators, I absolutely despise his works. I think he’s one of the biggest hacks running around Hollywood. I’d rather watch a Zack Snyder movie, or a Ruben Fleischer movie, or an Uwe Boll movie. Uwe Boll’s Postal > anything Del Toro. Every single time I try to keep an open mind, and every single time I end up bored and disappointed. He’s like mexican Kevin Smith, just worse. I thought his best movie was Pacific Rim, and only because it was so dumb.
