You want a worse version of Legends of Chamberlain Heights? And make it with the most obnoxious, repulsive characters in the history of fiction? And some of the worst attempts at Gen Z slang ever penned by humans? Well, I think I'd rather crack my skull open with a lead pipe and pour bleach directly onto my brain, and that STILL would be a better idea than watching this vomitous abortion of a series. I know vomitous isn't a real word; there's no words in the English language strong enough to describe this. The people behind this should be behind bars-maybe not for life, but at least knowing that they served time in jail for this would give me some type of solace.

Henry Danger (as a live-action series) was already a pretty pitiful attempt at superhero comedy, from the long-since faded star of Dan Schneider with the single most redundant animated spin-off ever created. "He made Drake & Josh, he made iCarly" iCARLY ENDED 8 YEARS AGO!!!! Ever since, Schneider has been on a crusade of career suicide for most of the 2010's to effectively purge any kind of enjoyment his work EVER had and coasting off his successes from over a decade ago that the target audience would only know of through reruns on Teen Nick. Pretending for a second you could LIKE Henry Danger, there's literally nothing that separates this from the original, aside from cheaper-than-oxygen animation, stiff movements that make the animation puppets move like they're giant cardboard boxes, and flat, uninspired character designs. In a world still recovering from the aftermath of the Powerpuff Girls reboot, the DC Cinematic Universe dumpster fires like Suicide Squad and Batman v. Superman, there's ABSOLUTELY NOTHING that should keep you from watching the original Henry Danger series; yeah it's awful, yeah the laugh track is obnoxious and blares over the show so much to the point it doubles as background music, yeah the characters are horrible, insufferable morons, cartoonishly insane (not even in the fun way, but in a "How are you even allowed in polite society?!" way) or some mutant crossbreed of all three, but this is just the equivalent of a Dollar Store knock-off of an already awful, embarrassing D-Grade superhero movie. Thank whatever heavenly being/s of choice that the Schneider Era is well and truly dead and it's only a matter of time until this series finally FINALLY kicks the bucket.Good riddance.

8mm is a tense, pitch-Black thriller that we could use so much more of. The movie is intense, it's horrific, and it's easily one of the best movies I've seen this past year. Yet, when I see the score for this movie (and that HORRIFYING 19 from Metacritic), I'm really left asking: what movie did YOU see??? It's sleazy and dark, but it's supposed to be and that's what makes it so fascinating. I kinda wish we'd get more films like this today: excellent directing, fantastic performances, great cinematography, and a 2 hour runtime that doesn't waste a second of screen time. I've given this one a glowing recommendation, but I guess I maybe just saw the wrong movie. Or maybe this is the same 8mm everyone else saw and I'm just crazy or stupid or both; I wouldn't put it past myself if it's both.
