I really liked The Devil's Hour. It's only 6 episodes so it makes a great binge. Also, it may have the creepiest child character I've ever seen, and I've seen a LOT of shows with creepy children.
In the latest episode of Giant Dog in a Cone, Rocket tried to lay down but the cone got stopped by the coffee table so he just stayed there. Eventually closed his eyes and actually fell asleep.

When we went to see Smile a few weeks ago, at the Lakeline Alamo, there was a family in front of us with a kid that had to be maybe 6-7 years old. We were hoping they were in the wrong movie, but no. After the first scary scene, maybe 20 minutes into the movie, he was sitting in one of his parents' laps. They stayed the whole time. I mean, WTF? There is some disturbing shit in that movie that was making grown-ass adults jump. That poor kid is probably still having nightmares.
My son and I watch horror movies together. Recently, we really liked Barbarian and Smile. The original Goodnight Mommy (the 2014 Austrian version) was great. The Naomi Watts remake was fine and I think I'd have liked it better had I not seen the original, but it's worth a watch on Prime.
That was a while back; he's dating Kaia Gerber now - Cindy Crawford's daughter. She's a dead ringer for her mom.
I thought Austin Butler was fantastic, and I hated Tom Hanks as much as I loved AB. Probably because his character was horrible, and whether or not Hanks' accent was actually what Parker sounded like is moo because either way it was terribly grating.
My son's also 14 and we watch tons of movies together. He loves scary/horror movies the most, but here are some of our faves across genres, not including many of the ones y'all have already listed.
Get Out
The Goonies
Stand by Me
It (I know, I know, but in between the horror is a great coming-of-age story)
The Shawshank Redemption
Ready or Not
Dead Poets Society
Others we haven't seen together but that are on the list:
The Green Mile
Good Will Hunting
True Grit
I really enjoyed it. Of course all the Texas stuff, but also the portrayal of the condescending New Yorker thinking he's smarter than everyone in a hick town - I actually loled at the exchange with Paris about Chekhov. It also had few fun plot twists.
Ashton Kutcher's only in a few scenes but he's great. Honestly, the whole cast was spot-on.
Sure, not much about that battle made sense, but it was fun to watch. TBH I'll watch Matt Smith in anything. If you weren't familiar with him before now, check out the Dr. Who seasons with him. Karen Gillan is in them too, if you need an extra reason.
I know this is OT but I totally agree on the Amy Schumer hate. She's not perfect but when she gets it right (see: Last Fuckable Day with Tina Fey, JLD, and Patricia Arquette) she's golden.
I was thinking this, too. What a weird situation.
That poor kid. I was in my 30s and had given birth twice so I wasn't a total stranger to pain, but I can't imagine going through that as a child. Then the aftermath is unpleasant, too - for me, the debrided areas kept getting infected despite the silver cream and oral antibiotics, and the pain was still significant. I couldn't even clean them or apply topical meds without taking Vicodin 30 minutes before unwrapping the bandages. I'd lose my mind if my child had to go through that, especially over a large part of their body.
Golf cart, believe it or not. I was sitting on the back and the driver put it in reverse but the gas pedal briefly got stuck so instead of shifting back to drive once we got on the road, we went across the road into a mud and water-filled ditch. I fell facedown but put my hands in front to brace myself, hence the injury to my hand, and the cart kept rolling till it stopped with one of the wheels on my forehead. I had managed to turn my head to the side before it fully stopped rolling, which is why I did not drown in six inches of Crystal Beach ditch water.

2. Re: burns - several years back I was in a nasty accident where some of my injuries were treated like burns. All the skin on my left palm was scraped off, as was the skin on several knuckles and on a large portion of my forehead. When I first arrived in the ER (UTMB in Galveston) they gave me a bunch of morphine (among an assortment of other drugs) and I still wouldn't let them touch me on any of the injured areas. They decided I needed to go to the burn unit so they could clean and debride the wounds. Before they started any of that, though, they gave me what they called a "fentanyl popsicle" to help with the pain. All this to say that significant doses of morphine and fentanyl (and whatever else they gave me) did fuck-all for the pain and it took two of them to hold me down while the third did the cleaning because I couldn't stop myself from screaming and thrashing around. It was maybe 30-45 seconds per area. I was praying to just lose consciousness but it never happened. Anyway, given what happened to me over a relatively small area, I cannot imagine the pain for large areas of significant burns. I just can't. There aren't enough drugs in the world.
