hi. hi. i'm annie,
and i'm batman - jk -
i'm katie.
anyway, we're identical
twins -
yeah, not clones from
the matrix!
and we're really
into movies.
yeah, but not like
'oh, movies are cool'.
like hard core
obsessed with them.
we love
everything that goes into
filmmaking and love to
analyze every
single minute of
each movie -
they're basically our
second language, since
we're also full on
frodo-and-the-ring-fixated
on becoming:
directors,
producers,
editors,
and screenwriters!
on top of that,
movies aren't really scored or
reviewed honestly these days.
there's a difference between how great a movie
is versus how much money producers give to reviewers.
yeah, and just because a film might be
quirky or different
(or, simply, not directed by a white man)
doesn't make it bad.
so with us wanting to
change that,
and the fact that we thought
it'd be fun to code and create a blog,
we are. . . .

"THE FIRST RULE OF FIGHT CLUB IS YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT FIGHT CLUB"
TYLER DURDEN, FIGHT CLUB
okay, truth: we only have one house rule - and it's not really a rule, even. it's more of a fudge-sauce-tool we created to allow some flexibility in the hopscotch to expand our 'filmknowledgey'. but regardless of whatever you want to call it, the guideline states: you can't repeat a celebrity connection until after seven movies. it's kinda like a punch card.
"JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING WORKS DOESN'T MEAN IT CAN'T BE IMPROVED"
SHURI, BLACK PANTHER
so look, we're not just gonna pick a bunch of rando movies to review for kicks and giggles. that's simple and not the way we roll. but we're not gonna lie, the way we decide which movies to watch is kinda wack but super-duper fun. basically, we jump from one movie to the next through the connection of a parallel actor or actress who stars in both. think old school hopscotch but for film buffs instead of whinny toddlers. we know it may sound a bit technical, but since we're straight up pros at six degrees of kevin bacon, and the same skills apply here, it's a piece of cake. now, you can totally join our cult and follow our hopscotch or create your own, but if you're curious, like ollivander, about our run of movies,

however, there are some house rules:
"ACES"
SIMON, LOVE, SIMON
now, to make our hopscotch-reviewing-process as unbiased as possible and even spicier, we give each movie we watch an average rating based off our scores from our original, ten-point grading system that we've divvied up between ten different categories: directing, script, shot composition, acting, editing, sound mixing, music, set and design, make-up and costume, and overall. so yeah, we're not those people who are just gonna slap down some fluffy-feely movie score based on whether we like it or not. and just as so, we're not gonna trash an entire movie, because we're hung up on the bad side-burns make-up. we're legit, and we're going to objectively analyze all the hard work that goes into making a movie, because at the end of the day, we want to learn from them. and of course, since we're just your typical type-a kinda gals, we obviously, obviously had to make a sickiller, boss score card to go with it.
