I cannot believe it has been 35 years--I googled it to be sure!

Got my bestie to watch Heathers finally Friday night. Somehow it completely passed her by in its original release so she was going in very blind, which made it all the more fun as it started to turn dark.
I'm happy to say that it totally holds up. It's still a great movie.

It's still a great movie. My best friend recently told me he’d never seen it. I was horrified and made him promise to rectify the oversight as soon as possible. (That revelation came out as I was watching Beetlejuice for the very first time a couple weeks ago. Fun little movie.) |

I am about to expose myself to Greecie ridicule. So I have a fascination with Bigfoot - I love hearing the stories (the podcast "My Bigfoot Sighting is my favorite) and will watch the odd show. I don't believe, but I don't not believe either. On a scale of 1 (don't believe) to 10 (believe) I'm sitting at a 6. Basically, I'm completely open to the possibility and I just really love hearing the stories.
So Saturday night we rented Sasquatch Sunset, this weird little vanity project featuring Jesse Eisenberg and Riley Keogh and a couple of others as a Sasquatch group. There's no dialog, no subtitles. They just grunt and whoop. I wasn't expecting much but I'm so mad at some of the obvious things they chose not to do:
- zero attempt to make the Sasquatch appear big. Like none. I can deal with the fact that they couldn't do much with the forest but there two places where they totally flubbed. 1) the family comes across a red X sprayed on a tree. The X, presumably sprayed by a person, is at Sasquatch head height. It should have been at their knees, or at least below their waist if we're to believe that they're 8+ feet and 2) the film ends with them in a parking lot and there's a parking sign next to them and they've made no attempt to put it into perspective. They just seemed human sized.
- There is a lot of consistency to stories that Sasquatch do talk to each other (it's called Samurai Chatter) and these guys just grunted and used hand gestures
- These Sasquatch came across as bewildered and weak, where again, in stories, the Sasquatch are very much in command of their territory and very much responded to as apex predators by the other animals.
I'm very aware that I seem ridiculous trying to fact check a movie about Sasquatch (thank you Batgirl for making sure that I knew that I sounded crazy) but there is so much freaking lore about this topic that they just totally disregarded. They could have honored the lore and still have had loads of room to speculate on the lives of Sasquatch.
I just had to get that off my chest. Also, this movie just isn't good.
