Go watch Wildwood now.

Hi everybody! 

So, over the weekend I had the pleasure of seeing Wildwood! It was an absolutely spectacular movie in which I will be seeing again. 

The animation was filled with so much love and care that you can see it in every shot. The subject material is very mature, however that is not a bad thing. It doesn't shy away from what it is in order to appeal to more people. When I saw that head fly, my mouth was agape for a good twenty minutes. I also loved how Kurtis wasn't made as an annoying side character, instead he was given his own plot and development. It truely is a love note to art. 

But, I have an issue and it isn't with the movie itself. It's the viewers, or more so the lack of viewers. 

I am a chronically online person, if someone has an opinion, I have seen it. So imagine my surprise when the internet constantly complains about reboots, sequels, and unoriginal stories and yet they fail to go see actual original stories. Wildwood made 11 million dollars at the box office on its opening weekend, yet fucking Street Fighter made 30 million. The reason there is no originality in film anymore is because people don't show up to any good original films!!!

I just genuinely can't understand why people fail Laika time after time, even though they have proved that they make timeless movies. I can understand not being able to afford movie tickets (been there) because it costs an arm and leg to go enjoy movies these days. 

Anyways, if you want to actually show your support for art, go watch this movie. I am begging every single one of you to get your butts in the theaters and witness the pinnacle of filmmaking. If you have seen it, I am very proud of you.
