Please watch Let the Right One In! Great film

Eric

Oh. Cabin in the Woods, definitely.

Maxoutkast

Cabin in the Woods is great but let’s go for the classic! Lost Boys!!!

William Bryan

What Lies Beneath is the best movie there but it won't win

Steven Perez

IMHO, LET THE RIGHT ONE IN is the finest vampire movie ever made, and one of the best movies I've ever seen. And I hate vampire movies.

Godzilla Jones

Lost Boys and Cabin in the Woods. Hands down. But you should watch Arsenic and Old Lace at some point because you'd love that.

Jackson Harper

Arsenic and Old Lace is absolutely your kind of movie. Whatever the poll says, you should watch it anyway.

Raj K. Dixit

Cloverfield is a perfect pick for scary but not too scary October; you & Carly would enjoy it

Marko T.

What Lies Beneath is great. Harrison Ford and Michelle Pfeiffer.

Henry Graham

What Lies Beneath is such an undervalued movie.

Squired85

#1- GATTACA, #2- The Thirteen floor #3- My blue Haven.. My wish list....

Peter Guertin

What lies beneath! Harrison Ford, Michelle Pfeiffer!

William Bryan

How do you like those maggots Michael?

Brian O'Grady

I know Arsenic and Old Lace won’t win, but it is a delight. Hopefully Cassie will be able to one day see it.

Brian McGovern

Come on people. She has already expressed a desire to watch The Frightners. Do the right thing and get it across the line.

Andrew Ramos

No Leprechaun in The Hood? I'm so disappointed haha. If I have no preference I always vote for the oldest movie. One day a 1940s movie will win

djKENTO

I think the Frighteners deserves it most. Under rated horror comedy and it’s Michael J. Fox’s last leading movie role that isn’t a voice performance. And it’s Peter Jackson right before he’s about to become a household name. I think even Carly would enjoy it.

Maxoutkast

Let the Right One In is definitely the best film here but The Lost Boys is such an 80s classic.

Manuel Eckroad

Regardless of the winner, Arsenic and Old Lace is a must see for classic cinema! But so many good ones here, Lost Boys, Frighteners, Let the right one In. All good!

Biggman83

Cabin in the woods is entertaining. But not great. The Frightners gets my vote, Peter Jackson at his best before LoTR with Arsenic and Old lace getting my back up vote. It’s a classic!

Steve

A bunch of good ones here. Cassie would adore Arsenic & Old Lace.

Katie Jackson

Voted for The Lost Boys but still hoping you and Carly will watch Practical Magic. A Halloween Rom Com that I know you'd both love and rewatch every year. Plus Sandra Bullock is of course great in this movie.

Tim Phistry

Arsenic and Old Lace is a fund not too scary movie. Everything else will have your skin crawling.

Bryan Erickson

LOST BOYS LOST BOYS LOST BOYS LOST BOYS LOST BOYS LOST BOYS LOST BOYS LOST BOYS LOST BOYS LOST BOYS LOST BOYS LOST BOYS

Just Plain Bob

Definite recency bias taking place in the early voting. I liked Cabin In The Woods, but it’s not in the same league as The Lost Boys, The Frighteners, Let The Right One In or Arsenic and Old Lace.

Todzilla

How does The Frighteners keep losing in every poll? 🤷‍♀️ What's crazy is even Carly would enjoy it! It's spooky, scary, a bit of "murder mystery", funny and has that certain "subject" that Cassie gets all giddy for. For me it has one of the greatest cameos from a film Cassie has watched on the channel. I mean it's the perfect, scary, but not too scary (and Carly friendly) Halloween movie.

Danny (Icarus)

The Lost Boys or Cloverfield are my picks with Let the right one in next in line. All the movies are good, they are all enjoyable in their own way. 👍

Nathan Swapp

It will never win but The House with a clock in its walls is a cute Halloween-y movie with a bad name. Jack Black and Cate Blanchett star in it.

Odd Thomas

Frighteners and What Lies Beneath. Lost Boys is so overrated.

Wu Sha Ling

i think cabin in the woods is too inside baseball currently. a majority of references will be missed

djKENTO
>>119440561

agreed. I’ll be really sad if this never gets a viewing here.

Todzilla
>>119440561

I mean it consistently comes in 3rd, but there is always some random two ahead of it 🤷‍♀️

Blake Evans

What Lies Beneath is objectively the best on the list. But Lost Boys is a stone cold classic. Since Cabin in the Woods is essentially a love letter to all horror you would need to go far down that rabbit hole to appreciate it fully. Lots of in jokes and references to other horror movies.

Jon Johns

I wonder if Frighteners doesn't get as many votes because folks haven't seen it, and don't know?

Caomhan84

Arsenic and Old Lace Is my pick but it will never win.

BRT

I think the one Cassie would actually ENJOY is" What Lies Beneath"

Jeffrey Schmidbauer

I picked Cloverfield because it's the only one I've seen. I know it's kinda cheesy in spots but it stars Lizzie Captain in an early role.

Matt Rose

My mind says THE CABIN IN THE WOODS but my heart says ARSENIC AND OLD LACE. Lots of good ones in there. LET THE RIGHT ONE IN should definitely be on your radar as well.

Rod Reavern

Cabin in the Woods is a great meta horror movie. Very fun with tons of horror movie references and tropes. It’s not on the poll but I have to recommend Trick ‘r Treat (2007). It’s the ULTIMATE Halloween-themed movie, not-too-scary or gory, and the perfect movie to cap off October. Trick ‘r Tready is amazing because it’s an interconnected anthology with each story themed around a Halloween tradition or rule: 1) Display a jack’o’lantern and keep it lit all night. 2) Always check your Halloween candy. 3) Tell scary stories. 4) Wear a costume to protect yourself from evil spirits. 5) Give out treats… or you will receive tricks instead! It would be incredible if Cassie is able to fit watching Trick ‘r Treat into this year’s October schedule — or remember to put it on the Scary-But-Not-Too-Scary poll next year. I guarantee Trick ‘r Treat is worth watching!

Hiraoka Toru

They are not going to watch The Frighteners till next year, too bad.

China Andronicus

Arsenic and Old Lace is honestly the one I feel you would love the most. So much Old Hollywood charm and humor and not horror-scary. One of my few must watch films of the Halloween season. Lost Boys is horribly overrated.

DustinChecksIn

All these ppl picking their favorites..fair.. but what should win should be the film that would be the funnest reaction. Cabin in the woods is the most crazy, outlandish flick on here. That would be the most enjoyable to watch her watch.

Roger Banks

“Let the Right One In” but the original foreign release.

Paul Murphy

What Lies Beneath is criminally underrated.

Caomhan84
>>119441910

It's one of those movies that just will never win a poll like this, because it's too old and people have forgotten it in favor of newer films. Like "The Best Years of Our Lives" It probably needs to be a popcorn pick of the month to have any chance of being seen on the channel.

Rod Reavern
>>119441668

Cassie has seen SOME of the movies with the tropes referenced in Cabin in the Woods. Not all of them, obviously, but she’s getting there. :)

China Andronicus
>>119441910

True and very disappointing. I’m so grateful to my parents for raising me on these types of films. They’re some of the best.

Chris Davis

I picked Arsenic and Old Lace as well, though I don't think it'll win...I'd Recommend it for a Cassie Pick, though!!!

FranciscoGios

'Let the Right One In' - the Swedish version Cassie; the American version is great too but the first version is much much better. I also voted for the Lost Boys.

Francis X. Lord
>>119442360

Agree entirely. As fond as I am of The Lost Boys, when I take off the nostalgia goggles, by far the most expertly crafted film on that list is What Lies Beneath. It's brilliant, on many levels.

Bret
>>119441668

lol yah I dont get why people keep suggesting films that need others to have been seen... Cabin in the woods and Scream are both horror spoof films in a similar sense to Austin Powers is to James Bond.

mikethemotormouth

Hopefully Lost Boys takes this one since if CitW wins, much will be lost on her. I'm really surprised What Lies Beneath is currently coming in dead last. It's the one Cassie would enjoy the most. I have my own issues with it personally but definitely seems right up her alley.

Zachary K. (Verified Swiftie)

So my friends and I along with several online movie critics. Rated the top 100 horror movies of all time. The Lost Boys came in at #62 with a killer soundtrack. Cabin In The Woods was #77 However Let Me In/ Let The Right One In Tied for #22 because it was the same movie it's just the American version had better looking actors/actresses. Nothing else on the list placed. Cassie has watched #3 Halloween, #4 Psycho #5 The Shinning #6 Alien #9 The Thing #10 Jaws #11 American Werewolf In London #12 Nightmare On Elm Street #17 Get Out.

Justtired

I have to agree Arsenic and Old Lace is a very Cassie movie. Not scary really, but a lot of fun

Cheshire

Cassie just watched The Thing in boss mode. I don't think that any of these will make her brain melt.

Mike Stevenson

Leo Getz will be with you forever I think 🥹

sarCC

I would not recommend watching The Cabin In The Woods for a long while, not until you've watched alot more horror movies, as the entire premise of the movie plays off the viewer's knowledge of different horror movie monsters, plots, and character tropes. Many reactors have watched it and had nonplussed reactions to it, not really getting much out of it. The Frighteners and Arsenic & Old Lace are perfect picks, in my opinion.

Rod Reavern
>>119441668

Cabin in the Woods works perfectly well as a horror movie in its own right. If the audience is familiar with classic horror movies and tropes of the genre, it only enhances the experience. Regardless, TRICK ‘R TREAT is the movie that I’d prefer Cassie (and Carly) watched because it’s well suited for them. Instead of horror tropes, it plays with Halloween traditions (like I described), which is why it’s the ultimate Halloween-themed scary movie!

Mike LL

At least you gave ARSENIC AND OLD LACE a fair hearing, Cassie, and for that I thank you and am very grateful. This is my most fondest wish for October, but I got the result I most expected. Now I'll go sulk in the corner for a few days. 😥😥😥

Stranger2Reality
>>119442360

Agreed. I would have voted for it, but it's losing by a mile, so I'd rather she see Lost Boys instead of Cabin in the Woods, as that movie's meta aspect (which is the whole reason to watch it) will be completely lost on her. Lost Boys is at least campy fun, but I do wish more people were aware of What Lies Beneath as that's a fantastic thriller.

Mike LL
>>119441910

When the reactionverse started a few years ago I thought it would be a natural for ARSENIC AND OLD LACE to be watched by many reactors every October. That that hasn't happened is a source of great surprise to me.

BRT
>>119441545

Well I hope you end up watching it sometime! Very good film ; )

John Cranberry

I voted for the Lost Boys. Great to see it was miles ahead of the rest 🥰

DWG15

The Cabin in the Woods is such a great movie, but it relies on you knowing a lot of horror tropes. Even if it wins, I think you should hold off until you’ve seen more of the genre.

Lance Li

A write-in for The Fly

Timothy Fox

Arsenic and Old Lace is a classic horror/spoof from the 1940s starring Cary Grant, Raymond Massey, Peter Lorre (whom you'll recognize from 'Casablanca' - as Ugarte), and the wonderful Josephine Hull. It's the perfect mix of outlandish slapstick and horror which even Carly can enjoy. No gore, no blood, no horrific deaths -- just a wacky, off-kilter plot about a couple of barmy old aunts and their penchant for homicide.

PickettsChargingPort

Arsenic and Old Lace doesn't have a chance, but I had to vote for it.

rakesh

Some great ones here. The frighteners is a great movie shot in NZ really a forgotten movie in Micheal j fox's catalog but a really great one. Let the right one in a very cool vamp movie. Cabin in the woods is a such a clever spin on horror tales. And cloverfield was a great monster shaky cam movie. But I have to give it to the classic lost boys. One of, if not Kieffer Sutherland's finest movie and such a great sound track I play tunes from it to this very day. Oh yeah , It's time for the sexy saxman! 😂 I also want Cassie to watch this with Carly and when she gets scared power ballard her way through with the song cry little sister for that meta moment.

James UK

Arsenic and Old Lace would be a great movie for you and Carly. Sadly an 80 year old movie has no chance on a poll like this.

Allen W. McDonnell

The Frighteners can never get enough love! So much more interesting than another vampire/zombie/werewolf flick!

B E

What Lies Beneath in last place!? Hopefully being a Harrison Ford film means hope is not lost.

FischerMax98

Let The Right One In is a fantastic vampire movie, but not sure how it would be as a reaction vid. Lost Boys is always a good time.

James Moy

Too many truly great films in one poll!! I've gone for arsenic as it's a truly special film with some great performances. It is also a Cassie film that I'm sure she will adore. But the frighteners is great too. The lost boys is iconic. House in the woods is deeply disturbing on many levels. TOO MANY GREATS I tell yah!

G

Let the Right One In (2008), The Cabin in the Woods, and The Lost Boys (1987) are my picks.

AGBmom

I know it won’t win because there are other great movies on here but Arsenic and Old Lace is so good!

Greg S.

What Lies Beneath gets my vote.

Stan the Man

It shocks me what wins these polls. Out the movies on here I think Cassie would like? Cloverfield is pretty much a love story. I love Cabin in the Woods but it’s very meta and knowing horror well helps appreciate it. Lost Boys is pure 80s. It’s fun.

Chuck Jacobson

Frighteners is the best and you will enjoy it, I'm certain!

Clay F

My top two = Let the Right One In (2008) The Cabin in the Woods (2011) Honorable mention = The Lost Boys (1987) Cloverfield (2008)

Mark Vaderr

This is a great poll, Cassie! I voted for four of these movies. Can't wait to see how this month goes!

Dave B.

I definitely hope you eventually watch Arsenic and Old Lace! Great horror/comedy and I remember you saying how much you like Carey Grant.

Richard Maurer

It's sad that Let the Right One is in second to last place as it's easily the best movie in the poll. But at least it's easily winning Cinebinge's foreign movie poll. Bjorn? You out there bro?

Jesus F Christ

I'd be happy with either The Lost Boys or Cabin in the Woods. They're both good films in their own ways.

Audrey

Not on there, but I’ll say it again… HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE!

Gábor Árki

Well, it seems just like movies made before the 80s have no chance of winning, neither do European movies. They just don't stand a chance at these polls.

LDC7080

Voted for lost boys. The film that made vampires cool before they were cool But if I had a second vote I’d go for the frightners

pinkdino99

Burn rubber does not mean warp speed !

mhz

Flatliners 1990 -- young Kiefer Sutherland ... I hate scary movies ....

nick bell

Lost Boys. It has to be

Jay E Bjorklund

"Arsenic And Old Lace" is right up your alley.

ArsTropica

Keaton : This whole thing was a shakedown. McManus : What makes you say that? Keaton : How many times you been in a movie poll? It's always you and four dummies. PD are paying B-movies $10 a head half the time. And there's no way they'd line five great flicks in the same poll. No way. And what's a - What's a multi-choice poll? Public defender could get you out of that one.

Javier Hernandez

I don't think you'll enjoy Cabin In The Woods. It is campy but there's plenty of gore.

Story Archer

Good to see Cabin in the Woods making such a strong showing. I swear, I'd pay your mortgage for a month if I could get you two to watch The Village - it's an incredibly beautiful love story pretending to be a horror movie and one of my favorite Fall movies to watch.

Richard Maurer
>>119465490

It's almost as if we need Classic Horror polls, or Foreign Movie polls. You know, seems like I've heard about those somewhere else before.

Richard Maurer
>>119465671

Your understanding of Lost Boys place in vampire film history leaves something to be desired (see, I can be polite, or least sound that way).

WastedPo

So much of the enjoyment of "Cabin in the Woods" comes from being familiar with the movies it's riffing on. As far as I know, Cassie hasn't seen those movies.

Jimmy Reyes

Lost Boys has to be the one. The others can wait till 2024.

CJ Clontz

What lies beneath is very much a ghost story mystery. Suspenseful. You would like it.

Shanwyn Nightfox

Arsenic and old lace? Yes please, every other of tose choices pales in comparison. They just don't make movies like that anymore hihi

LDC7080
>>119465671

So what vampire movie came before the lost boys where the vampires were cool?

mikethemotormouth
>>119477117

As well as plenty of references to things she hasn't yet seen Also I seem to remember her saying something about how gore is not a huge problem for her

Jeffery Parks

Of these movies, Cloverfield is the most romantic, is it not patrons? Cassie would like that part. Interestingly, both Cloverfield and Cabin in the Woods have 7/10 ratings on IMDB. I like Cabin a bit better in terms of originality/excitement, but I think The whole Cloverfield series: Cloverfield, 10 Cloverfield Lane, and Cloverfield Paradox are all very good and all *must see*.

Larry Darrell

We need a Full Classics Theme Week to the max of 4 Films, including the Classics that have been in polls the most, but never win. It Happened One Night (1934) Bringing Up Baby (1938) Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) Arsenic and Old Lace (1944) Any others?

Rick

These votes tell me people dont vote based on what Cassie would like and what would be the best for a reaction. Lost boys hype has grown beyond how good it actually is. Cloverfied would be Cassies first found footage and would be a fascinating reaction.

KTVindicare

Lost Boys is obviously going to win, but I had to vote for Cloverfield, I have a soft spot for that movie. Best "shaky cam" vid I've seen IMO at the height of the craze.

Timothy Williams

Oh come on! You KNOW they would LOVE Arsenic and Old Lace!!!!! Fantastic movie!

Mario

Thanks for including What Lies Beneath. There aren't many reactions to it on youtube.

Erik Daniel

Too bad What Lies Beneath isn't going to pull through. I'm not saying it's the best film on the list but I think it might be the best fit for 'scary but not too scary' October. Either way, going to be a great time.

David Collins

The two leaders in the clubhouse atm are two of the three bestest ones, so I am only voting for The Lost Boys, since it's the one I want to win and the only one I really consider "must watch" out of this group. That being said, What Lies Beneath is NOT getting the love it deserves. It's an excellent movie.

John Liebling

You'd like Arsenic and Old Lace because of the charming Cary Grant

Richard Maurer
>>119440370

Horror films should be scary? Crazy Talk!!!! Oh, and by the way, AaOL isn't a horror film, it's a comedy.

John Liebling

Two Cary Grant movies both Cassie and Carly would love is 1. An Affair To Remember and 2. The Bishops Wife

Richard Maurer
>>119441668

Cabin is like Galaxy Quest, it helps if you have the background but it's not essential. Scream, on the other hand, is........Bad.

Richard Maurer
>>119441910

People who are into AaOL always seem to think it's one of the greatest things ever. For most people though it ranges good to meh. I watched a reaction to it (I think it was Ashleigh Burton, but I'm honestly not 100% sure) and I was really underwhelmed. I didn't hate it, I just didn't care - which is almost worse than hating it.

Richard Maurer
>>119491358

Or, for another opinion, AaOL is the worst film on list. The people who love that film REALLY love it, the rest of us are like "Arsenic and Old Lace huh? Okay, whatever floats your boat".

Patrick Flanagan

Hard to avoid spoilers, but I would not recommend THE CABIN IN THE WOODS because it's a definitely a "horror movie for horror fans" thing.

Eddie Perkins
>>119518557

I'm all for that; Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) is one of my favorites, and I would like to see her do Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) for Halloween; a lot of people don't know that was the first horror to win an Oscar for best actor.

Grégory Gautier

Curious to watch The Lost Boys, never seen it!

John P Tucker
>>119441673

The original script was a re-telling of Peter Pan with vampires but Joel Schumacher changed the script to what it is today. I guess they kept the title in a nod to them “never growing old”.

John P Tucker

Another good option for next year would be “Silver Bullet” with Gary Busey and Corey Haim who is also in The Lost Boys. Based on a short story “Cycle of the Werewolf” by Stephen King. It’s more suspenseful than scary.

John P Tucker

Since you have seen “The Shining” need to watch the sequel “Dr. Sleep” to see Danny Torrence grown up after he and his mom escaped the Overlook.

Doc Larry

You will really enjoy frighteners however I had a pick Loss boys it’s a roller coaster ride

mikethemotormouth

Off-topic suggestion for October next year Fire in the Sky(1993)

Goony71
>>119460778

Dawn Marie Anderson has a reaction to this on her Patreon. It’s that channel and this one for reactors for me.

John Cohen

Split would have been a good scary but not too scary movie to watch. Plus it would continue the “East-rail 177 Trilogy” that she started with “ Unbreakable ”

Doug Fisher
>>119509282

Of course everything is personal taste but "Cloverfield" is not a good movie.

Mark James

I missed the voting, but I would have been for Arsenic and Old Lace all the way. It' s a comedy even Carly would love, it's that good. A true classic. It's almost as good as It's a Wonderful Life.

Jeffery Parks
>>119509282

Any movie that has an IMDB of 6.5 or better, 6.7 for certain, is a legitimate good movie, whether or not one's personal tastes agree. Cloverfield clears that hurdle by a strong margin at 7.0 and a good bit higher than Arachnophobia's 6.5.

thansen

Arsenic and Old Lace is the best of those.

sean smith

I also missed the poll but I can't be upset with Lost Boys as the winner. Such a fun movie to close out popcorn in dread. Truly the spirit of the season is fun spooky and Lost Boys has it in spades.

Doug Fisher
>>119509282

Yeah... those rating sites aren't worth anything, especially nowadays. They are owned by the companies who make the movies and are self promoting sites with algorithms and bots that change results. Negative ratings are constantly shed to improve overall scores. (Your numbers are also off as 7.5 would be the base for good, not 6.5; even on IMBd.) Besides, a "high score" on a rating site does not equate a "good movie". There are a ton of bad movies/shows with high scores and great movies/shows with low scores. For instance... "Ahsoka" has an IMDb rating of 7.8 and that is a TERRIBLE show, while "Tears of the Sun" is sitting at 6.6. I wouldn't base your opinion of a movie on any of those sites, think for yourself. The thing that "Cloverfield" had going for it at the time was the shaky cam, as it was the new "it" thing. "Cloverfield" had average suspense, a weak plot, average writing/acting, and a very bad ending. It doesn't mean you can't love the movie, it just doesn't make it a good one.

LDC7080
>>119465671

So none then! Lost boys came out in July and near dark I think October And although bill paxton and co from aliens were excellent in Near Dark. The vampires were not cool. Read a comment first . It does wonders for your understanding

Richard Maurer
>>119465671

I did read the op. It's just that your idea what's "cool" is way different than mine. The fact that LB came out a few months earlier is irrelevant. On the cool scale the LB vampires are closer to Twilight than Near Dark.

Richard Maurer
>>119509282

@ Doug Fisher I hope you don't call yourself a Star Wars fan if you're calling Ahsoka a "terrible show".

LDC7080
>>119465671

Thanks for just proving my point. It took a long time but we got there in the end

Richard Maurer
>>119465671

lol - You know you saying I proved your point doesn't make it so. But you keep on believing if it makes you happy.

Doug Fisher
>>119509282

@Jeffery Parks OK... if you say so. I guess explaining the error in your "logic" or someone who disagrees with you is now "narcissism". So many fragile egos out there. SMH The thing your doing right now... it's avoidance.

Doug Fisher
>>119509282

@Richard Maurer Actually, any true Star Wars fan would call "Ahsoka" a terrible show... because it is a terrible show and only further dilutes and harms the IP. In what way isn't it a terrible show?! Just FYI... I have been a Star Wars fan since I saw "Star Wars" in the theatre. Disney Star Wars is not Star Wars.

Richard Maurer
>>119509282

I saw Star wars in the theatre in 1977, first run - since apparently we're making it about that. And the the fact that you can just make a blanket statement like "Disney SW is not Star Wars" just shows you've become close-minded, and nothing else. Now I hate the Sequel Trilogy as much as anybody. But I hate them because they're crap movies, not because they're made by Disney. And I'm capable of of watching things like The Mandalorian, Andor, and yes, even Ashoka, and acknowledging they're good, and enjoying them. I'm not, and never will be, some band-wagon hater who judges things based on anything other than their individual merits. Oh, and as for you asking me in what way isn't Ashoka terrible - you made the statement that it's terrible first, so you tell me why it is, and I'll tell you why you're wrong.

Don

Can’t wait to see your reaction. I think you’ll really enjoy it

Doug Fisher
>>119509282

I never made "it about that". You were questioning my level of being a Star Wars fan and I gave you my background. You seem kind of tetchy. I can make a "blanket statement" about Disney Star Wars, not because I am a "band-wagon hater", but from evidence. I have judged each of Disney Star Wars products on their own merits and they are all extremely bad with the partial exception for "Rogue One" which was just bad, the first few episodes of "The Mandalorian" which was meh (with potential) but devolved into bad quickly, and sort of "Andor" which had a semi-interesting premise but was executed poorly with terrible pacing and editing and was based on a boring and irrelevant character. In addition, real Star Wars was the classic Hero's Journey told in a Space Opera. Disney Star Wars is not, hence Disney Star Wars not being Star Wars. Let alone due to how badly they are made. Hahaha... you're funny, not very original, but funny. I am not surprised you had a hard time coming up with anything that wasn't terrible about "Ahsoka" and fell back on the old, "I asked you first" elementary school gem. Though, come to think of it you didn't really ask first did you?! So, I guess it was just deflecting. I also had a laugh at your "... and I'll tell you why you're wrong." bit... again, not original, but funny. (However, I am not sure this was your intent) "Ahsoka" has no plot other than being one giant plot convenience (badly conceived at that), it has no character development, no consequences for actions, terrible dialog, horrible writing, very bad acting/directing, character assassinations, canon assassination, the ruination of Lightsabers (or at least finished the job), badly done opening crawl, direct copying from Tolkien, relies on member berries (like all Disney Star Wars), and is purely agenda driven. Just for a start. The fact that they went Meta multiple times saying lines like, "In a galaxy far, far way." wasn't cringe enough for you... I do not know what would be?! I bet you get all jazzed up for the member berries and key jangling, don't you?! Filoni is a hack, and a bad one at that. You see, I LOVE the OT and the characters from it. Which is why I have a big problem with a company that is systematically destroying those things. You obviously don't, which would suggest you do not really love the OT and its characters, but rather are a fan of the IP brand. Which is fine, you do you, but this seems to blind you to what Disney is actually doing (big picture). I am so looking forward to being told why I am wrong!! Goosebumps!

lol. No, I've just known too many narcissists. They eat up too much time and attention. But have fun though. Looks like you and Richard are having a good time.

@Jeffery Parks Quoting the great Inigo Montoya, “You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.” Well... Richard is entertaining.

Well, from that overly long post I deduced one main thing - you have an opinion and you believe it to be the correct one - welcome to the club! My opinion differs from yours, and is the correct one, of course ;-) I could go through your post and make my own arguments but then you'd just argue your point back, and since I don't like wasting my time (neither of us is going change the others mind) you go ahead and keep believing you're right, and I'll keep knowing I am.

"I know I am right" yet never backs it up. Says I made the statement that "Assoka" is terrible so I should tell why first, then complains that my post is "overly long" when I do what was asked. Says if I tell why "Assoka" is terrible then will respond with reason "I am wrong", yet... crickets. Other than saying "I don't like wasting my time"... but takes the time to respond to say "I am not going to respond". The irony is strong with this one. I get it, you like a show that sucks which makes it hard to defend. We all like shows/movies that suck; the difference is most of us can admit it. You do realize that continually saying that you know you are right doesn't fool anyone, other than obviously yourself of course. It is right up there with, "I am rubber, you are glue,...".
