i did see John Dies at the End…

i didn’t read the book, but from what i know it seems like the film was incredibly faithful to the literature, to a fault—because you can put books down and come back to them but you can’t really do that with a movie in a theater.

it was way too long. i think it would have been better if they split it into a trilogy of films, or even like a 6 part series with half-hour installments. the beginning was FUCKING AWESOME but i feel like they ran out of money or something because the effects & compositing later in the film were crap and they definitely rushed to finish, which made the confusing parts even more confusing. it was super disappointing as it is, but maybe it would be worth watching if the filmmakers revisited it and made it better. the acting/casting/most of the lighting was pretty on point.
