Directed by John Polson
David Callaway tries to piece together his life in the wake of his wife's suicide and has been left to raise his nine-year-old daughter, Emily on his own.

neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight for 100 horror movies in 92 days I watched 3 movies to catch up on slacking. Hide and Seek 2005, Grimcutty 2022, and Yokai Monsters: Spook Warfare 1968. Rapid fire on these: 1. More like Hide and Snore, 2. the monster looks like a Snapchat filter of goth Gru, 3. this movie fucking RULES!
neutral · AI labelView post →Went to the theater to see this one. Didn't really care for it, actually...but the SONG! The Hide and Seek song was too good to be denied. And I just kept coming back to the movie. It really is much better than I originally thought it was. MUCH. #FrightClub

And found the 1984 screen adaption of the film. "Hide and Seek." I'll let you know in a couple of hours if it is any good... #booksky
neutral · AI labelView post →And what about the hiding time? Well, we found them at 18:16, so the raw time was 5 hours and 50 minutes. Quite a big gap between both runs. But wait! What about their hand cards? They had two 60 minute time bonuses, two 30 minute time bonuses, a 15 minute time bonus and another 10 % time bonus on top of that and so they raised their time to 9 hours and 40 minutes. If we had not found them so fast by accident, this game could have been really down to the wire. A third run, mostly on day 3,…

neutral · AI labelView post →Hide and Seek It's been a long while since I watched it last so I'd forgotten almost all of it. This movie is 20 years old and contains a twist/trope that really needs to die. Despite that, it's a pretty solid movie. The acting is great and there's moments of genuine tension. Just... That trope.

It’s worth tracking down. I don’t think it’s predictive of our LLM moment but it’s fun to think about all the bots we’ve unleashed.
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie ending with Destiny being the one person not found in Hide and Seek is hilarious. It's like Flash being the last to leave in Justice League, it's solid irony. Anyway, this movie is more all-over-the-place than I remember, but I like every direction it goes in.

Frontal in God's Own Country, Hide and Seek, and Mothering Sunday, then backal(?) in Challengers, Only You, and Bridgend.

Not much to say about Antarctic Journal; it was dull, hard to follow, had inaccurate captions, and illegible English writing only captioned in Hangul.
