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.
wat no really what gave you that idea
spoiler
A massive ammount of Latin-American story telling especially Mexican story telling is magical realism, so this kinda pings my “goddamn mayos again”
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.
