May 23, 2019 – Alright. Double the movie tonight.

Firstly: Aladdin. I loved it! It was enough of a mix of callbacks and new ideas to work for me. I mean it still would have made more sense for Jafar to be older. But eh. I enjoyed the music a lot. I definitely was singing a bit, though it is a bit different than the original music. The beat is a bit slower on most songs. But still great. I was content with this live-action Disney movie ^__^

Mid-credit scene is just in the credits straight off from the final scene. But there is no other scene, no end-credit scene.

Secondly: Brightburn. I also enjoyed this movie. The scares were a mix of jump-scares and just horrifying situations. And there is gore. I’ll say that as a little warning. But I really liked this movie. Yeah, it basically is what if Clark Kent went bad very early on. But it’s very different in the way they go about it. It is quite chilling. If I think about times a Superman has gone bad (i.e. Red Sun, Ultraman, the Justice Lords’ Superman etc.), this was very different, not just because it’s the kid going dark. It’s something else.

Funnily enough, regarding credit scenes, it’s the same here. A mid-credit kind-of thing. It intrigued me. There is no end-credit scene.

It was a fun night!!
