It’s just you and me here, right? I can trust you with a secret, can’t I? I know this is a horror site, and we’re all about the blood and the scares and guts hanging from the trees and all that, and I know that we’re supposed to only celebrate Halloween and ignore all other holidays, but I gotta tell you something, I really do love Christmas.
Shhhh… You promised.
I love Christmas the way only a middle child of a divorced family can: unhealthily.
Christmas is supposed to be a time of sharing and caring and family and fun. I’m the sicko horror fan who doesn’t really celebrate it, so I’m of course the kid who hates Christmas. Bullshit, I love Christmas. Sure, my favorite part of “Gremlins” is the Phoebe Cates Santa speech, but that’s...

When you grew up loving movies movies the way I did, it can be lonely. Every Sunday all the other kids gathered around with their families and watched football while I hoped for a blizzard to freeze the game out so the TV stations would have to resort to playing old Hammer flicks. Everyone else could get away with wearing team jerseys all year, but I could just wear a costume one day a year.
Terribly sad, I know. I promise I’m getting to the point.
I loved movies. Still do, but back then, it was a quiet love. If I talked about anything other than Star Wars, then I was weird. Sure, people liked movies, but no one Really loved them. It was kids' stuff, even the harder stuff was just meant to be a distraction, not a passion. I was weird for loving this stuff,...

If you head to the multiplex, you're going to find movies made for a mass audience. Jurassic World, just to make its budget and marketing costs back, has to be carefully constructed to appeal to every living sentient moviegoer. If the film has a chance of showing profit, then there has to be a chance that Everyone on earth will find something in it worth watching. That's great if you're making a family-dinosaur-attack-chase movie (or is you're making a happy meal, for that matter). I get it. I understand. I'm not the mass audience member. I'm not the key demographic. Films on that level aren't about art, they're commerce. Product. Some are fun. Some aren't. But they all have to chase that generic audience to make even.
Before it comes off like I'm just blasting Hollywood (and I am), I'll take this moment to just get to the point.

I'm old. I admit this. I sit back and look at Amazon for used DVDs and Blurays, knowing full well that I'm a dinosaur completely missing the streaming bus. I know full well that physical media is about as cutting edge as 8 track players, and that I'm the last person around who appreciates the art of the well worded outgoing answering machine message. I'm old. I already said that.
Part of accepting this is coming to terms with losing out on what I love most about those silly silly discs: the special features. I love the commentaries. I love the interviews. Hell, I even love the deleted scenes, even if I usually skip them.
