The Conjuring 2 – Still Conjuring (2016): An old part of me crosses my arms that Hollywood is
The Conjuring 2 – Still Conjuring (2016): An old part of me crosses my arms that Hollywood is making movies about “real-life” huckster ghost-hunting dorks and keeping their grift alive by pretending that their “paranormal” snake oil has/had any merit. But this country is so far gone, so out-of-its-mind on every variety of irrationality at this point– fuck it, it’s all too late in a losing game to care.I just wanted to watch scream queen Patrick Wilson say things like “maa’m, your daughter is haunted by a bog witch,” and if this movie isn’t as interesting as the first one, or you know, “actually good”, it’s still a fun little amusement park ride. I don’t know that I’d call it a “real horror movie” anymore than I’d call any MCU movie a “real action movie”– it’s just an Epcot ride. But that’s fine. Who cares? I’m not a cop!The Conjuring Universe is the second highest-grossing horror franchise, just after the Godzilla movies, it turns out. But after you watch this relentless propaganda for these schmucks and their marriage, it certainly feels some kind of a way to read the Warrens’ Wikipedia page… After swallowing down two hours of Patrick Wilson’s dopey “I’m a good person cause the Bible taught me so” youth-pastor schtick, Patrick Wilson running through his house with a pickle in his mouth…They were accused of being in some kind of throuple with an underage girl!Hollywood making a super-long movie where they never mention that Patrick Wilson’s character may have been based on a pedo was a bigger twist ending than anything in this movie, than some photo of a British girl scamming the gullible by jumping off a bed that this movie tried to sell me was proof of the existence of spookums. Somehow, foolishly, I didn’t see the potential pedophilia coming! Boo! -- source link
