Funny how they don’t mention Elvis at all.

Finally saw this and it did not work for me. Not really a horror film and it just dragged for me. It did not help that I did not care much for the lead character (although the actress gave a good performance). People have compared it to Eighth Grade which I loved and did a much better job making you care about the character.

This had popped on a few (I think?) ads on my streaming services, but then it shuffled around and I lost track of it.

Was about to watch I Saw the TV Glow, when I noticed this was up on Max now.

I . . . don't . . . know . . . what to make of this. I liked it, but I don't know why. I hate to say this, but I think I would have liked to have been beaten over the head a little more so I was aware of what was happening. So much that I was unsure about . . .

Was that her mom on the ASMR video? Or just some rando?
I think it was pretty obvious that she was doing all of this for attention, given that her videos had very few views.
Was JLB's video at the end real?
What was the game? They claimed it was some sort of MMORPG, but I am missing what game existed beyond trying to be an online "celebrity." I guess I was expecting something like the podcast Rabbits (which I admittedly bailed on, I think . . . and now don't remember too much about . . . or was it The Black Tapes? Tanis? No, pretty sure it was Rabbits . . . but what led me there?).
