I watched lost girl · 4:40am Oct 31st, 2014
A psychological thriller with many many moments murdering the hay out of the ever lowering moral compass and then ending in mysterious ambiguity. There's also a variation of an ever present inception foghorn that increases in volume when ever something really bad is going to happen- and it only gets steadily worst as the story progresses.
That's my summary for it without spoiling it for anyone who doesn't want it spoiled. Don't continue if you don't want spoilers.

So I figured out that amy wasn't murdered fairly early on by ben afflecks character. The way we first are introduced to her had her talking in this creepy dramatic voice that no normal person would be using in a causal conversation and that she had an almost doll-like expression all the time. Inception horn also made those doll moments that much more unnerving. When the flashback of affleck and amy (I forget the name of afflecks character and Amy's actress :/ ) are fighting and then affleck threw her into the staircase guard, it made the murder more likely, but then she says "im afraid" in her diary while her face looks less like she's really afraid and more like she's enraged.
At first I thought she was creating an elaborate plan to kill herself and take her husband down with her. As a story, that is terrifying yet satisfying conclusion to a twisting treasure hunt to find a body at the end and with no hope for afflecks character to convince everyone of his innocence. That would've been a perfect psychological horror story, and to a certain degree it nailed it all the way to the final truth.
Except... after it is revealed that amy is alive and set up the whole thing... well, it kinda started realizing that there were only a few more paths left. The second part of lost girl now follows amy, who we learn is basically an unpredictable psychopath and appears almost obsessive in her actions. My previous thoughts of her were correct in thinking that she's totally crazy.
So now we are stuck watching afflecks progress along side amy. By this point, affleck had inferred that amy framed him of murder, however he still hasn't made any real progress on anything really. He won't be doing much else after learning that. He's pretty much the buttmonkey of the story, that's all.
Anyways, the movie can't seem to figure out what it wants to do so it has amy do even more messed up stuff, murdering some rich guy and shoving a bottle up her vag to pretend to be a rape victim when she comes back to afflecks character to remove all suspicions. And then she says that she's pregnant to keep him with her.
The end is ambitious cause we don't know where it's going, but there isn't a real ending here for all the jumping around with random plots ever since the reveal of Amy's true plan and goal. In which case, I think the whole reason she went to all the trouble of making such a unnecessary plan was to convince afflecks character, who was unilling at the time, into having a baby- assuming she is actually pregnant.
So just to clear up my final thoughts, half this movie is unnecessary and drags on way longer than it should.
I have no idea which one you're talking about. I know at least three 'Lost Girl' shows/movies. Maybe a picture of the movie/show?
In answer to your new avatar: go ahead, I dare you.

oh, that's a mistake, I meant 'gone girl', the one with ben Affleck.
Also, I won't hug you in your sleep, that would be creepy and I don't want to be creepy. BUT if I see you starting to nod off and your eyes getting droopy, then I will hug your face and not let go until you're fully awake.
2565593 ...I'm more likely to nod off if you do that. (But I wouldn't mind a hug either way. I like hugs.)
Ah, I looked it up...seems kind of boring.
you know, the way you started out this blog was really good. like, really really good. i know, horrible descriptive language, but eh. what i'm trying to get at is that have you ever decided on becoming a critic of sorts? 'cause, and this is my own opinion, you might have a good career in it.
2565599
it was interesting for the first part, but kinda went dull after awhile.
2565609
I've never thought about it seriously before, since I'm skeptical of freelance writing in general. I dunno.
scary movies thriller mopvies are unneeded. scary action movies however. i like. i'm still waiting on that dead space live action movie.
2571338
i see your point, but just think about it. if anything, just try to see what would happen if you try to do a professional critique.

not on topic but i came up with a sad short christmas story idea. don't know if i'll write it but who knows.
2581706
Huh, what's it about?
2581960 a human becomes santana clause in equestria.
2582296
does this Santa accidentally run over grandma?
2583595 nope. no grand parents involved. no running things over
2583633
Ah, okay. Did you mean to spell it 'santana' clause?
2583684 wha? ........ *looks down*
i wrote that with my phone... stupid phone!
santa not santana
2583687
Heehee.
2583687
Do you rp?
2583690 I did. then stopped. been thinking about getting into it again however.
2583694
When was the last time you had one?
2583695 almost a year ago.
2583696
Same with me.
2583697 why do you ask? if i may ask?
2583698
Just curious is all. I'm getting stuck with writing this story, and I'm losing the will to continue it. I dunno why I asked, I remember having fond memories of roleplay games, but I never did finish any of them. (Also, sorry for taking a long time to respond)
2583703 it is no problem. i almost thought you were asking me to rp with you at first but that's fine. i know what it's like to lose your muse or get dragged into other things away from your stories.
2583705
I'm actually interested in rping with you. I would to see if I can possibly use ideas for my story.
2583708 hmm sure i'm up for about another hour before i go to bed. since the site has banned rp thou, how do you usually rp? i have always used skype for it.
2583714
There's the PM loophole, if that's still there, but usually I kinda just ignore it. It doesn't seem to be noticed unless it's on someone's userpage. Even then though, its almost never stopped.
I could go onto Skype on my old computer, but this one can't connect on the sign in.
2583719
your new pc wont open skype? have you tried updateing java? updateing skype or installing a fresh download?
there is also skype on phone. (beware the auto corrector.)
as for site chat. they have gotten after people for all rp methods over the site.
2583720
It's an old computer, I think maybe three years old? I'll try updating it, or deleting it and redownload.
I tried it. Texting with a touch screen still very feels weird.
They have? How? I've been away for awhile, so I haven't been checking the news feed.
2583723 they montintor all profiles, blogs, group messages, they can also look into your pms and see what you type about. and if you pm to often this usually causes them to investigate.
didn't you use a sorta rp site or something in the past?
2583724
I used whitetail-woods, this other rp site, and last I used was piratepad.
2583724
That's new and rather unsettling.
2583725
they any good? strict rules? reasons not to use?
2583728
Whitetail is where an old rp group I was apart of moved to. It's relatively nice, but kinda klunky compared to fimfiction.
The other one is called redlight ponyville, it's pretty much a NSFW site.
And pirate pad is very basic and simple, making it really good for sharing ideas and editing stuff. I tend to write out all of my thoughts first before I edit and post them, so it irks me a bit that everything I write can be seen by everyone before I streamline them. I think pirate pad is the best one though.
2583732 pirate sounds like google drive. if it's like that we could use google drive.
the other 2 could work depending on what kinda rp you want to do.
edit. google docs not google drive? gah confusing.
2583732
im up to give them a try. and sfw or nsfw is also open if you like. we can also use google drive. or if you can get skype to work we can use that.
2583739
I think it is like google drive or docs.
As for the rp, would you be interested in doing something with our OCs?
2583754
I'm going to go off in a bit btw.
2583756 sure OCs are fine with me.
i can set up a goggle doc in just a minute if yah like.
2583757
a little past the time when i go to bed atm but i'm not tired actually. if need be we can rp before i go to work or later tonight.. of today? lol going to bed at 5 am makes day and night today and tomorrows wierd. lol.
2583766
Over the day, I ate a confectionery Panera bread thingy and coffee with it. That kept me up all night, but now I'm tired. I really should have slept the night before yesterday, cause now I'm nocturnal again.
2583776
nothing wrong with nocturnal. *crickets chirp and owl hoots in background*
if the doc isn't letting you post or edit, i'll need to add your email adress to the list.
2583784
Um
2583787
lol sorry. I think i fixed the google doc problem and it should let you edit now.
