Brad and Sarah review the new Tim Burton movie.

[@smjaiteh]

I'm excited for Ms. Pelligrine's School for Gifted Youngsters...Pelican's Home of Invisible Children...Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends. I'm excited for Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends.

[@benji_kay]

lol, remember that show

[@MrAlcazar]

I'd prefer the "Fletcher Memorial Home For Incurable Tyrants and Kings."

[@ankle-beez]

"Asa Butterfield is in space. Then he comes to Earth to date a lady... and then his heart explodes." 10/10 best summary

[@Lawlaliet]

A kid who put "hearts" into puppet things and was able to control them. Well hey there Sasori from Naruto, so this is where you went after the series ended.

[@shinesparker1169]

weeb

[@DendyJungle]

i disliked your comment and liked the guy who called you a weeb

[@Lawlaliet]

Mo Well congrats, like the guy who commented you're a complete piece of shit.

[@Isabelle-fr9dp]

I don't think Sasori is going anywhere, myself.

[@humanconvertile]

Kind of makes sense, the way they described this movie sounds like it is another pretentious, cheaply animated, shallow, dialogue-heavy Shonen Anime, down to emphasizing its lore like they think you are just going to be enthralled with it despite not making very much practical sense.

[@bobby2hands227]

Sarah gets the title wrong in the first 10 seconds and then says that will be the only time she gets the title right despite the fact that she just got it wrong.

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

You showed her!

[@planescaped]

While the internet is a hate machine made of tubes, I don't think 'showing her' was the intent in this particular instance.

[@bobby2hands227]

Yeah I'm not trying to make fun of her or anything, I just thought it was kinda funny.

[@smeefan]

Jesus christ you became sensitive lately. Anytime somebody points on a tiny flaw you always give a sarcastic comment like this. This commenter wasn't even being mean just pointing out a funny thing. How dare he!

[@Dill_Pickle5760]

You're laaame

[@Smeagolthevile]

If there is a sequel, will the hollows be called the unkindled?

[@TheFlyingJew13]

Maybe in the third movie, they'll be called the "nasty"

[@dracocrusher]

I would love to see the series that starts off as a serious adult novel and then everyone just gets wrecked by the Undead Burg until only like three or four characters are left alive and they just become complete badasses, lol.

[@SignalFireProject]

And the new Loop will take place in Anor Londo

[@drewpittman1485]

From what my friend who saw it with me noticed, as she read the book series, they tried to abridge all 3 books into one movie. I noticed that maybe the studio didn't trust Burton after his previous missteps to make the whole series and just had him compress it down to one. Also apparently when they leave the house and it explodes is supposedly the end of book 1 so the last 20-30 minutes is 2 books.

[@dannokane5272]

I saw this movie last night., but read the original book many times beforehand and through the book and movie are different., Tim Burton did something amazing., he improved on the original story a billion fold., that why I'm a FREAKING HUGE fan of his work.,,.

[@endlessnoise9173]

I think Sara was talking about "The Thief of Always" by Clive Barker.

[@BraninT]

"Deep Water Ho: The Little Mermaid XXX Parody"

[@garrettcarter2959]

"We call them the Hollows." This is what happens when Time Burton drinks too much bleach. HOLY SHIT! Tim Burton's Bleach. I want to see that! Christopher Lee as Everybody!

[@9-bitfox]

Miss Perege = Time Lord Hollows = Slender men Peculiars = Mutants Loops/ Time Travel = Wibbly wobbly timey whimey

[@archive9796]

9-BitFox yes I was like "miss peregrine is basically Iris Wildthyme"

[@gameoverproductions2560]

Now whenever I see Brad without his beard, I can't help but be reminded of Jack Stone from Cheap

[@Yenastuundepaspris55]

To me, the ‘Peregrin’ movie was like a Victorian X-Men with Cthulhu stuff.

[@Harlequin19]

I had a lot of fun with this movie. I think this is Tim Burton’s best movie since Sweeney Todd, only because I haven’t seen Big Eyes yet. There were a lot of families in my screening and I was proud that none of the younger kids were frightened by the Hollows. Well, I didn’t hear any crying or screaming. They (the Hollows) were like something torn out of Guillermo Del Toro’s sketchbook, which is awesome! It did make me laugh when the little girl of the couple next to me (she was probably about six years old) went “aww” when a Hollow got a crossbow bolt through the head and died after killing Samuel L Jackson. As you say kids need to see at least a few movies with very dark concepts running through them, and it’s best to start at a young age.

[@tommywilliams5736]

There is such an anime as Sherlock Hound.

[@Jude300c]

I just came from this movie and I mean everything was so beautiful, one of the best movies I've watched in a very very long time.

[@Lemanic89]

So it's like X-Men mixed with Harry Potter and Majoras Mask?

[@williamblackshire565]

this makes me more and more want to see Tim Burton's take on Something Wicked this way comes and/or an Umbrella Academy movie

[@archive9796]

William Blackshire yes

[@umbram8073]

The book she is referring to at 14:00ish is The Thief Of Always by Clive Barker- such an amazing book, the art is wonderful too =)

[@Teh1fawx]

oh man i did not expect to hear Sarah ref The Thief of Always. That's a book that deserves a good adaptation.

[@Locaneo]

Sarah, the book you read was 'The Thief of Always' by Clive Barker

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

I'm gonna watch this in any case.

[@BloodfelX]

"The name of the ... is Sherlock Bones." Fill in the blank and you have a Sherlock Holmes porno spoof.

[@BloodfelX]

22:42 Time-stamping this joke and the follow-up because I found it hilarious.

[@murciadoxial8056]

is it a gay porno spoof?

[@SamanthaPortUkulele]

+Murcia doxial That is the only way I'd watch a Sherlock Holmes porno spoof. If it's not Holmes/Watson, I'm out.

[@BloodfelX]

Samantha Port Wouldn't we rather a Moriarty threesome?

[@trinidadbotello9906]

Brad has a new jacket.

[@originalindigodingo]

that is so weird, I have been thinking about that exact book lately, where every day is actually a year. I remember that it was Christmas in the morning, spring at midday, summer in the afternoon and autumn at night. every morning they got Christmas presents, and every day they went trick or treating, but with real monster costumes.

[@xcornmuffinx]

The book Sarah is talking about is "The Thief of Always" by Clive Barker. They were going to make a movie of that at one point but if fell apart. Too bad really because that would have been awesome

[@theAngryscotman]

The thing that got me about this movie was the whole time bubble thing. Living the same day everyday, never leaving this one island, never aging or growing up for all eternity? There are like ten different Twilight Zones episodes dedicated to explaining why this is a terrible idea! Other than that I found it enjoyable but nothing really that special. The skeletons were cool, Sam Jackson was a really fun villain and Eva Green was gorgeous so I was kept happy throughout it.

[@MagusMirificus]

"We saw 'Miss Peregrine's SCHOOL for Peculiar Children'...that is the one time in this video I will say the name correctly." Oh, Sarah.

[@bestguy5633]

This story diverts so fucking much from the book. They much a joke about the similarities between the love interests, but in actuality (in the books) they were switched around.

[@pictonomii3295]

Hi guys. I hope you all have/had an amazing day! :D

[@sirrliv]

Bit late to the party here, but with 20th Century maritime history being one of my little hobbies/passions/neuroses, the whole thing with the boat (a fictional ocean liner names RMS Augusta) bugged the shit out of me. In fact, Brad says he gave up at them raising the ship, I gave up way sooner, also due to the ship. Near the start of the film, when Jack and his father are first arriving in Wales, there's a newspaper headline on the pub wall about an ocean liner that was sunk nearby during World War I. It's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it bit of foreshadowing, but if you actually pause and read the headlines, it will make your head explode. 1. It says the Augusta was struck by two torpedoes. That's some pretty substantial damage right there, even to a modern steamship. Remember, it only took one torpedo (and a possible coal dust and/or boiler explosion, and no, not hidden ammunition, just heading off the conspiracy nuts right here) to sink the RMS Lusitania, a ship we can visually guesstimate to be about double the size of the Augusta. And yet... 2. The paper goes on to mention that despite such a severe, by all rational rights lethal blow, the ship somehow remained afloat for 18 hours! I'm sorry, but no. That's just not how merchant vessels of the early 20th Century work. For it to have survived that long, it would have to have been built like a freaking battleship. Except not even that, because the British battlecruiser HMS Audacious also sank during WWI after striking a single mine off Northern Ireland. Granted, although I can't find exact numbers, it took Audacious a good long time to sink, but nowhere close to 18 hours. And let's just compare that to other contemporary ocean liner sinkings from the time period: RMS Titanic, 1912: ~2.5 hours HMHS Britannic, 1916: 1 hour RMS Lusitania, 1915: 18 minutes RMS Empress of Ireland, 1914: 14 minutes! After being struck by two torpedoes, there is no way Augusta could have survived for anywhere close to 18 hours; no merchant vessel of that era could have survived that long with that much damage. And even if she did, that raises further questions... 3. The headlines claim that 894 lives were lost in the sinking. On a liner that stayed afloat for 18 hours?! Off the coast of Wales, in British territorial waters, on or just off the main shipping route into the port of Liverpool?! Um, bullcrap! There is no possible way that a stricken ship in distress would have been unknown or without aid for that long in those waters. By 1914, it was required that all passenger liners be equipped with wireless radio transmitters and that said radios be manned 24 hours a day, a result of the Titanic sinking. So Augusta must have been able to send out distress calls and attract aid. But okay, maybe one of the torpedoes struck her generator room and killed the power (highly unlikely, as the photograph in the newspaper shows the ship's final plunge by the bows, almost impossible if the power room was flooding as that's usually closer to the stern). That still doesn't account for them still being within sight of the Welsh coast, and even within a short boat ride of a fishing port. Why didn't the passengers and crew abandon ship and use the lifeboats to row to shore, either onto the beaches the peculiars later use or directly to the port? Come to it, why didn't they use the lifeboats at all; in later shots of the raised wreck, we see that most of the ship's lifeboats are still on their davits, indicating that they were never launched in the first place. Does that mean that nobody aboard the Augusta made any attempt to save themselves? And that nobody tried to come out to rescue them? And that's setting aside all of the nonsense about the state of the wreck (How did the ship end up upright on the seabed? That's very rare in large shipwrecks, where the ships tend to more often come to rest on their sides. Why are the funnels still upright and intact aside from some corrosion? Those aren't built to be extremely structurally sound and usually collapse during a sinking. And if the dome over the grand staircase caved in to give the peculiar girl access to the interior, why didn't the glass vaulted ceiling in the ballroom do likewise? I guess the latter two could be "explained" by the long sinking time; maybe the ship sank so slowly and gently that it remained basically intact. Such is not unheard of, such as with RMS Republic, sunk by collision in 1909, which remained nearly intact on the seabed until finally collapsing due to corrosion). And I won't even touch how technically nonsense the raising and sailing of this shipwreck is. Actually, thinking about it, this one newspaper article is kind of a microcosm of the whole film: shocking and intriguing at first glance, but the more you stop to think about it, even for a second, the more questions it raises without reasonable answers, and the more its story falls apart.

[@KeybladeMasterAndy]

There are some rather interesting ideas in this film. especially the time loop.

[@emperorsean1]

i loved tim burtons big fish : )

[@meghanobrien3045]

Read the book 4 years ago, can't remember a thing except the doctored photos.

[@Dameduse823]

The book you were talking about is called "The Thief Of Always" by Clive Barker

[@wellthatwaswierd4570]

The book she's describing around the 14 min mark is 'thief of always', I'm pretty sure

[@Y2Ksnowglobe]

I like how, as someone who's read the book (albeit a while ago), but hasn't seen the movie, I have almost no idea what these guys are talking about in regards to this plot.

[@MontyPythonFanatic2]

I'll say this for that Smurfs: Lost Village trailer; it sure made Trolls look a lot better by comparison.

[@OmniSonic]

"Sherlock Bones" reminds me of a manga with the same name I read a couple of weeks ago. That book was dumb, the killer was revealed in chapter 2 but wasn't arrested until chapter 4.

[@petitepilled]

Beetlejuice is my shit too. Apparently Burton was supposed to work on Beetlejuice 2 after this movie but according to the news, he's delaying it? But It might happen? Beetlejuice the Musical is going to be a thing I guess

[@ridleyrage5283]

I heard about that too, I'm hyped for Beetlejuice 2

[@bifflechips-t5r]

The possibility of a second one has been said since the early 90s. I wouldn't hold your breath.

[@petitepilled]

Jason Lasica Nah like Burton and Ryder came out and literally said that Beetlejuice 2 was going to happen and they already had a script. This isn't Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian either, it was only meant to bring back Keaton and Ryder. They said that after Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, they were going to start shooting. But then just Tim Burton's representative said that, no, it wasn't happening. Burton later said that it wasn't, "time" yet. Everyone is on board though so who knows, news keeps surfacing about it.

[@corydeceased]

We need that 'Encyclopedia Bones' film

[@archive9796]

Yes there was lot of great moments like the stop motion animation stuff and the eyes is great but .... I wanted more of that

[@Genin99]

I just saw this movie and I would say that the plot was difficult to process. Because there was a lot of things to keep track of.

[@ryancoulter4797]

I read the book. It started out a good idea but as I went along it became less of a story and more of a creative writing exercise based on very old trick photography. The more photos that were added the less coherent the plot became.

[@RockinRhinox]

Sugar and Spice are the names of Two-face's girlfriends in Batman: Forever, just in case anyone was wondering.

[@zwallyzool1974]

Miss Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends?

[@dunes8817]

aka Victorian X-Men

[@PetalsAndPlague]

1943 so the 40's

[@SeanStrife]

Not even close. If you want to get technical, Victorian area was the late 19th century.

[@claudialomeli4048]

8:50 Even the Star Wars prequels?

[@captcrais101]

Claudia Lomelí Well Mace Windu was more interesting in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith

[@argoth231]

going tomorrow. looking forward to it

[@endplanets]

OK, how many people are going to get “he was in egg all over his face mode the whole time” reference. GOLD STAR! (and this comment is sincere and not sarcastic)

[@Tabascofanatikerin]

I finally saw the movie lately. And first of all: I am so happy knowing that I am not the only one noticing that the children's powers (like what the twins can do) was underused. Sure, that would have made the movie resp. the climax shorter. But all that actually makes the characters look dumber and it gets often frustrating. Speaking of frustrating: Yes, even though there's a lot of exposition talk I could hardly follow how all this actually works (and some essential things aren't explained a little bit) and I first thought that's because I am stupid or something. But the movie also doesn't take much time to let this sink in. Just as you two said it and this describes the issue quite well. But at some point I was more careless about the story anyway because the actual creative and interesting story turned more and more to another setting for the worn out "Some world is in danger, some one true hero has to come and save it" scenario. But I also enjoyed the cinematography, a couple of scenes, designs, effects and the creativity here and there. So it's not really bad, it's just a nice-not-great treat treat in the cinema for this year's Halloween season. In my list of 2016 so far it's in the middle. My previews there: Doctor Strange, Strange Beasts and where to find them, Kubo and the two Strings, Storks. One last fun fact: I tried to watch this movie a week before in the same theater but the theater's technics failed. As a redress I got one free ice cream and TWO free movie tickets. Isn't that neat?

[@MikeKino21]

Brad looks different without his goatee. and "Deepwater Ho" sounds like something he would review as the Cinema Snob.

[@culwin]

I figured this would be the YA version of X-Men

[@Qlydeify]

The thief of always by clive barker is the book your probably thinking of Sarah.

[@Esirre]

13:58 was it Clive Barker's "The Thief of Always"? sounds like it but it has been a long time since I've read it, 3rd grade or so...

[@ryancoulter4797]

Tried reading the book. Liked it at first but the more photos the author used the more it seemed like an improvisational writing exercise than a plot.

[@ronburgendy179]

I read that book sarah was talking about in highschool! Clive barker wrote it and all the kids became fish! What was that called?

[@jfrsnjhnsn]

Was it Imagica?

[@kiruppert]

"The Theif of Always"

[@ronburgendy179]

"Thief of Always". Yep that's the one, thank you. That book was great :)

[@archive9796]

Oh and Judi Dench was in this .... It was basically "hi Judi dench oh cool you're in this..........(a few minutes later)..........oh you're dead"

[@bartsimpson4305]

I've got my fingers crossed that you guys will go check out Middle School worst years of my life this Friday it looks horrible

[@emperorsean1]

Thats what i ws thinking tim burtons version of x-men meets harry potter

[@lopshie]

How did she not get Encyclopedia Hound!?!

[@grantgilbert2822]

Drivey Smurf, that is all. The Smurfs: Tokyo Drift

[@AlexBabbage]

I had a question and I figured that I would have the highest likelihood of a response if I were to post it on a new video. I was wondering if you have seen Mr. Right. It came out earlier this year in April and it starred Sam Rockwell, Anna Kendrick, and Tim Roth.

[@ferzum7290]

Miss peregrine is a better mentor than Charles Xavier

[@RedJacketMan14]

Two words. Encyclopedia Hounds!

[@lukebaggins5004]

smurfs 2: electric bugaloo

[@vehementfilms6059]

The book Sarah is referring to is The Thief of Always by Clive Barker, which is incredibly fucked up for a children's book (but, it is Clive Barker, who generally writes fucked up shit for adults).

[@quirknerd]

I've only read the first book, and it's been a while, but some of this stuff sounds totally unfamiliar. Does anyone know if they combined multiple books into the movie?

[@jordyn.w4129]

They combined all 3 books into this movie

[@quirknerd]

That would explain it.

[@maggiedean5691]

A. L. LaForge why the hell would they do that? Those books needed to be 3 books.

[@quirknerd]

I don't know why, but I've seen it before. The A Series of Unfortunate Events movie was three books in one, and the Guardians of Ga'Hoole movie combined the first six or so books. It never seems to end well.

[@Dimensioneer88]

Did we see the same movie?

[@KattAD]

The kid didn't want to go to Wales so the father abandoned him. I approve Wow Wales and sheep jokes never heard that before. IL is famous for John Gacy and CM Punk I guess. Don't take what I just said seriously, I always fire back at Welsh jokes. Fun video

[@LCCreviews]

Glad to hear this is an alright movie. The book was decent. Now that i've made the first or one of the first comments i'll finish the video.

[@Burori1]

Oh my god, Brad. Anyone ever told you you look like David Arquette?

[@Kaleb-Mayhew]

I'm sorry i skipped the pre roll ad it was 6 hours long.

[@roarshach13]

Wait....They don't sequel bait at the end of this? Cuz from what (very) little I read of the first book the peculiars actually leave the Loop and he tells his dad he has to go for a while but will be back. That's kind of a downer if they just have Jake stay in the Loop forever.

[@haleypotter417]

For the record the twins dont show up until the second book...

[@murciadoxial8056]

they mixed the 3 books into one movie

[@haleypotter417]

Thst makes no sense to me but whatever

[@viddergrapho8488]

It wasn't even the right kids. Those boys were merely from a picture grand-dad showed him. The brothers we saw were suit-and-tie who screeched whenever they could not keep hold of one another.

[@SamanthaPortUkulele]

+Murcia doxial So, similar to what was done with the movie adaptation of A Series of Unfortunate Events? Ugh. That's another one I knew I was going to dislike going into it because it was clear how many things they'd changed from the books for no real reason.

[@Billy666H]

Did Brad shave in between movies or something? Or is it just the lighting? Was he attacked in the restroom by a trimmer wielding mad man? This mystery must be solved!

[@originoflogos]

Hey Brad, I'm just curious, are you ever going to do another DVD-R Hell??? I miss those :/

[@StonedGremlinProductions]

I did a couple of them within the last month.

[@archive9796]

Ok I finally saw this movie And ....if I was 7 I would have loved this but Ok it looked fantastic and wonderful -I want to buy the art book and I love lore movies so I love the lore in this movie But I can't remember anyone's name Of course the mean child was Scottish Also I LOVE time travel so time loops are like bread and butter to me And I'm SURE LIKE REALLY SURE there's a paradox there's a paradox in there which doesn't work Know I did see Arrival after which probably didn't help as Arrival didn't help

[@pwojo9776]

I have a stupid question: I've never read the books or seen the movie yet, but I know how the timeloop thing on the school works. So my question is how does the story/plot progress after the villains are introduced and they need to sort of run away? Did the timeloop make an entire alternate universe? They all can't theoretically leave the timeloop without dying instantly, so that makes me question how any of the plot outside the school works. Do they just let the bomb drop so that the timeloop ends and they're free or something along those lines? I know this is probably a weird thing to knitpick at, but I have a sense of what could happen, and what is shown in the clips and trailers brings up a lot more questions.

[@archive9796]

Peter Wojo they get in to the time loop so they have to leave

[@archive9796]

Peter Wojo they have to reset the loop everyday Miss Peregrine gets captured so she can't so the time loop breaks No a timeloop is basically Groundhog Day It's the same day over and over and over again

[@professorBofFPU]

Sarah, please don't mention egg when talking about Samuel L. Jackson! It gives me horrible flashbacks of him as The Octopus in The Spirit. But seriously, great review.

[@Seth9809]

How do these two watch anything with magic in it? Are they sitting there confused the entire time? I understood the film without any help and I saw the movie thinking it would be something completely different.

[@pimpin8216]

OMG BRAD YOUR NAKED!!!!!!!!!

[@SamanthaPortUkulele]

His naked what?

[@michaelmyers317]

Encyclopedia Hound.

[@archive9796]

Also the editing was kinda odd in places They could have made this movie 5 hours as they harder developed any of the main characters But the 2 hours it was, you could feel every single second passing

[@Capng123]

Brad with no glasses... it's freaking me out...

[@archive9796]

I don't think Tim Burton added anything to this film Like if anyone else had directed it I don't think it would have been any different

[@LukasKnife]

Not exactly accurate to the book but enjoyable nonetheless.

[@argoth231]

extremly different? or just does things in a different way?

[@LukasKnife]

Quite a few key differences

[@viddergrapho8488]

They flipped Olive and Emma, as in Emma, girl whose powers are VERY DAMN IMPORTANT in other books, needs metal boots and can control the wind. Little Olive controls fire. The sweet girl who can control plants (damn my eyes for forgetting her name) is nothing like the picture the book so happily provided. They've got the creepy costume twins instead of the suit and tie brothers. I haven't even seen this movie and I'm so pissed. And heartily disappointed in Tim Burton right now.

[@Hbdach]

The whole second half/ending is entirely original from Tim Burton I guess and made me very angry as a book reader because the way they treated the plot and ending, there is no need for either of the next 2 books to become sequels. In fact, quite impossible to make because there are no more problems to solve after the first movie.

[@MechaRandom42]

I also read the books, and the ending did make me sad they did not set up the problems in the other books. They could still make sequels since they need to find a new loop, but yeah, they would have to add a lot of new stuff to make them work.

[@artistwithouttalent]

Sam Jackson is in this? Did he come in to tease Infinity War?

[@argoth231]

sam jackson is in everything

[@misterabbadon977]

The book you are talking about is The thief of always by Notably fucked individual Clive Barker.

[@lunamoth9623]

the whole end of this movie with the boat is not in the book the book is more simple than the movie

[@seanrichards5912]

Brad are you going to see the 20th Anniversary of Space Jam this year, comes out November 13 I think for both AMC and Cinemark you should also bring Dough with you he will love it (NOT) lol

[@firelight09]

As someone who read all 3 books I can tell you they pulled that last quarter or so outta their ass and killed the lead-in to the rest of the trilogy.

[@maggiedean5691]

firelight09 is it worth seeing if you loved the books? I don't want to pay money just to rage.

[@firelight09]

I really enjoyed the books and is say the first half is fairly accurate (excluding the Emma and Olive weirdness they did for the movie). I was with it until the last third, where it really starts to veer off course. I really liked the books, so I was pretty disappointed. I'd say if you're a really big Burton fan and can approach it without comparing it too much, than maybe? Other than that I'd probably skip it or wait til it's on Netflix where you can gauge for yourself without spending money on it.

[@mckenzieeby6971]

I think that's because Tim Burton doesn't really do sequels. Not to mention the film was released in September which is kind of the dead time for movies. A lot box office bombs happen then because people are going back to school. In a way, Tim Burton purposely changed the end so that the movie could work as a standalone and not have to worry about whether it''d make enough money to warrant the book's sequels. Not to mention two part movies of the final book are starting to become less popular since Mockingjay part 2 and Alliegent bombed making it up for debate whether it'll continue as a tv movie or not.

[@firelight09]

I don't think the third book would've worked as a two-parter, but I am disappointed they chose not to adapt a pretty good trilogy as well as they could have.

[@maggiedean5691]

It will probably frustrate me as I loved the build up till the end. Yea I'll save my money and see doctor strange instead. :)

[@emperorsean1]

Hahahahahaha luv the smurf comment ha

[@arrow_of_ravenclaw5155]

I remember watching it and thinking it was the most generic thing

[@aidincmpbell9073]

The book is OK. It's not too well written and is super gimmicky with the photos, while the film looks gorgeous and Miss Peregrine, while a Helena Bonham Carter impression, is still great, it is a lil too silly, but the end fight in Blackpool was not only hilarious but well done that I forgave the forced ending

[@SeanStrife]

So the book is basically your typical YA novel. Gotcha.

[@2010Wilde]

Is it me or is there anyone else out there who think the hollows (or whatever the name for eye eating monsters were called) look suspiciously a lot like the slender men from Creepypasta? And also (spoiler alert)....they killed off Judi Dench's character in the film. They built her up as this new protector....and out of no where, she just gets murdered and has her eyes eaten. I so wished that was brought up. I just found that so stupid. It was so random and unnecessary that I'm not sure if I should find it darkly amusing, or weak use of a character. Did it happen like that in the book? 😐😐😐

[@archive9796]

2010Wilde especially cous She's judi dench she's a fantastic famous actress

[@culwin]

Encyclopedia Hound

[@shortpettite]

So I just watched the movie and I have just one question and maybe someone who read the book can help me out. Why did the kids have to live in a loop? I mean fine bring them to a secluded place to be safer or whatever but why must they be stopped from aging? Example being Hogwarts. They looked for magical children and brought them to this school hidden from muggles but they still aged. You could argue they needed to loop because of the house being bombed but we see they could just have left the house after it was destroyed. Only thing can recall is her making an offhand comment as to it being better they remain kids. The only thing I can see as to why they have to be children is to better control them. Think depending on age the age, the kids won't think to challenge authority. They also will think the idea of being young forever is not a bad idea. Lastly, for some of the older kids, the fear of being hunted by the hollows. Then after awhile, they been in the loop so long they would likely age and die if outside the loop too long. Just saying we clearly see they can survive because the grandpa left the loop and if they all weren't hold up together maybe wouldn't be a buffet for the hollows.

Nicole Joyner it's much harder for the Hallows to find them basically Because they are basically no where Thing of time like a shirt They are in the pocket

But by having them there technically makes them in constant danger of being found. They will be hunted forever because they won't age. Not to mention harder to find one in the world alone than like 15 huddled together. Also the grandpa guy was able to go out and live until ripe old age and when he was found just him died not the entire house of peculiars.

But they would be in constant danger also if they left No they won't be hunted forever -only until the hollows die

[@archive9796]

And he wasn't meant to die actually SLJ didn't want him to

The movie botched its logic with the time loop. There was visual evidence that suggests that anything that happens in the loop probably won't change the future. But obviously stuff in the future will change the house in the past.

I am more upset about the romance between the two main characters. The girl still had feelings for the grandfather(when he was younger) and projected those feelings on the boy.
