A place to post memes & images that won't absolutely obliterate your mental health! Memes must not stray into hopelessness and be generally positive or neutral.

I made this with my kid in mind, so that they can have a good, safe place to look at memes, just made to make folks laugh and smile!

Only goofs & silliness. (:

Was going to say Evil Dead. It starts off played so straight, but everyone kinda leaned into the ridiculous as they filmed and by the end it can't really be called anything but iconic. Everything came together brilliantly. I also love the recaps at the beginning of 2 and 3.

The TV show wasn't bad. I went into it with low expectations but the casting was perfect and the plot was just enough to keep things moving. Very much in the spirit of the trilogy.

The 2013(?) reboot legit left me feeling uncomfortable. It used the Evil Dead setting, but the tone was deadly serious. I talked my spouse (horror-averse) into watching the originals and she loved them. She noped out less than 5 minutes into the reboot. And that was the right call for her. I only gave it one watch and I'm not sure it'll get another. Even though it deviated from the tone of the originals it was wildly successful at being a legit horror movie.

Yeah, I've put off watching the reboot because I want to like it as pure horror, but I really think that without that slight cheese factor that even the first one had, it's going to fall flat for me.

I could be wrong, so I'll eventually watch it though.
