Boomer shouldn't have been able to outrun a fireball but I'm glad he did.

A dog gets shot in the recent season of Squid Game, and it was more upsetting than any of the human deaths.

The dog getting shot upset me too!!! 😭 that whole plot point was also so unecessary it literally went nowhere

Just watched that episode last night and I was so upset about it. This season has been rough so far.

If the dog gets sad or hurt in any way I will fucking bawl, it's inevitable. :(

In skyrim you can get a dog and its like anytime I can't hear it barking. Where is the dog. Is he ok.

y'all ~~should~~ DONT watch 1982's The Thing!

[–] toppy@lemy.lol 3 points 12 hours ago

True. If a dog dies in a movie, I automatically consider that movie as bad. I don't watch it.

Try watching chernobyl

[–] rhymeswithduck@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago

Don't watch Racing in the Rain. That movie was pure psychological torture.

Poltergeist is one of my favorite movies ever precisely because it subverts the horror moving trope of killing the family dog.

The bird on the other hand...

Do watch Prey.
