After seeing Civil War to cleanse my palate and sleeping a shit ton, I am ready to continue to document the horror that is The Host for you all. Im well stocked, too. Ive got a whole bottle of wine and a ton of beer to keep me company. My poor liver. Rest well, my friend.
So
the second half of this movie is just
I cant even put it into words, honestly. It is some of the gayest shit Ive ever seen, which is saying something, considering Ive seen both The 100
and Brokeback Mountain. Except
nobody important dies. I never thought Id say this, but its a shame. Because this shit would be infinitely better if these dumbasses got killed off via stray bullets / people who generally disapprove of their relationship.
(RIP Lexa)
Welp, the only way forward is through this shit pile, so let's fucking get on with it I guess.
When we left our heroine(s), they were moping around in a cave or some shit and crying a lot and frolicking around in a wheat field which magically is able to thrive in a cavern. But what have Jared and his boyfriend been up to? Well, I'm glad you asked!
They go off and raid some store or some shit for supplies. Yep. That's it. They're loading a bunch of goodies into the truck when an alien shows up in their shiny chrome car. Uh oh. But don't worry. As the token White Male Protagonist, Jared is bound to make it to the end, and so he knocks the alien guy out and throws him in his truck. This
this dude is really fucking violent, has anyone noticed that? I mean, diplomacy and manipulation are also tools you can use, but I suppose that I shouldnt be surprised that someone with three brain cells would resort to violence to solve their problems.
Can we also talk about the fact that the store
is literally called Store? I mean I knew everyone in this movie was a fucking idiot but jesus, I didnt know it was this bad.
Theres a whole scene dedicated to watching MelWa and her bro cut wheat. Ian looks at her one time and you can practically feel the seismic girth of his boner from through the screen. They share more Longing Glances and eyefuck for about ten minutes straight while Mel screams inside her head
you all know where this is going.
So, lets just recap for a second, to truly appreciate how fucking dumb this is. Youve got Wanda, in Mels body, whos totally in love with Ian, but the girl in her head is in love with an abusive and violent fuckboy. A love square. Its like Stephanie Meyer has designed a special hell, just for me.
Oh, and just in case you thought this shit was going to go away anytime soon
youre wrong. Its the focus of the NEXT FUCKING HOUR OF THIS SHITFEST JUST LET ME DIE.
Jared and his cronies are driving down the road, and theres a helicopter filled with centipedes. And apparently
because they were driving faster than everyone else
.the aliens know theyre human
.anyway theres a gunfight (which isnt obvious or anything but whatever) and some humans crash their car into a concrete barrier and die to avoid getting captured and theres actually some really nice music that plays in the background
shame it had to be wasted on this garbage.
MelWa starts to tell the humans about the other planets shes been to while Jared gets into another gunfight and one of the centipedes gets headshotted.
Of course its the black guy. Of fucking course.
MelWa eats dinner with the humans who are asking her questions and shit and then Jared
comes back
.and deadass almost kills her
CALM THE FUCK DOWN, I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR ANGSTY FUCKBOY ATTITUDE. HOLY FUCKBALLS, YOU ARE LITERALLY THE MOST ANNOYING CHARACTER I HAVE EVER COME ACROSS. WHICH IS SAYING SOMETHING, BECAUSE I FUCKING SUFFERED THROUGH
THREE BOOKS OF ANGSTY TEENAGE SANSA WHINING ABOUT HOW PERFECT JOFFERY FUCKING WAS. EAT SHIT AND DIE, JARED.
*ahem*. Anyway, everyone finds out that Mels still alive and kickin in her head, and Jared starts to cry (fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you). Ians all she can stay with me to be safe!!!!! and I gag because this is literally the worst, most corny romance subplot Ive ever seeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Wanda and Ian talk and connect and hold hands and shit. Mel talks to Wanda in her head and suddenly she has a southern accent??????????????
Flashback of Jared and Mel fucking some more
its not even hot, either, so no one wins. Jared goes to talk to MelWa and its really angsty and stupid but the sparknotes version of it is Jareds all is she still in there? and Mels all I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. Jared goes I miss everything about her and I go
.did she even have any redeemable qualities, though? and then they make out. Can I die yet orrrrrrr
?
Anyway the scene ends with MelWa punching Jared and I just have to sit there and clap for like five minutes straight.
Some dude starts chasing her and tries to kill her because ALIENS AND CENTIPEDES ARE BOTH EVIL or something but because shes Special she doesnt die and lies for the dude who tried to kill her. Jareds now mad at Ian because THEYRE BOTH IN LOVE WITH MELWA
.they break up and the gays cry.
Ian and MelWa go to a cliff and have a moment and make out, Mel freaks out because boys are icky or some shit.
Its been a while since we last saw hunter lady, did you miss her?
Yeah, neither did I. But plot twist! Her host has been fighting back too! Wowza. Incredible. Never been done before. Truly.
Wanda stumbles into the doctors office to find dead alien centipedes! Oh no! She freaks out but no one cares. Apparently they were taken out of their hosts necks...anyway MelWa runs away and cries.
They kinda look like spiders. No wonder they got fucking smooshed to hell, good riddance.
Ian comes to comfort her and MelWa stares at the wall for like a billion hours. She shares a moment with Jeb and hes like no more alien murder I promise. Did I mention this movie has a fucking great soundtrack? A shame tbh.
Her brother is randomly dying because infected boo boo or something
..its kinda random and I dont really care, even if he is a precious lil sunbeam.
So Mels gone missing inside her own head, and to get her back, Wanda goes to Ian and is all KISS ME SO SHE GETS ANGRY AND COMES BACK and Jared gets in on it and its like a weird multiple consciousness foursome. It totally fucking works, by the way, because LOVE CONQUERS ALL.
MelWa goes to an alien hospital and cuts herself to make it look authentic or something and steals some medicine for her brother. The plan works (surprise surprise) and lil bro lives. Hooray.
Side note: their medicine is just some weird spray shit? Its like bugspray, but for owies. How gay can this movie get? Honestly. I mean
..Im really fucking gay (Im bi, but Im so gay) and I cant take much more of this.
MelWa goes with her two boyfriends to get supplies and on the way back they run into a random body in the middle of the road. ITS HUNTER LADY!! OH NO!!! She gets shot by Jeb who appears out of fucking nowhere, and they heal her for some reason, and then she and Wanda have a heart to heart and I continue to drink (#3 woo!).
Wanda goes to the rebel doctor and shes all Ill tell you how to get the centipedes out, but you gotta kill me because I hate the fact that Im in this fucking movie. Mel screams a bit because theyre in love (the gays are everywhere tbh) and I dont understand because this bitch has literally been trying to get Wanda out of her body for the entire fucking movie?
They take the soul out of the evil hunter lady and her host comes back to life and is super grateful. Theres a gay ass scene with Ian holding one of the aliens and the CGI is awful but is anyone surprised? Everyone else is apparently amazed at how beautiful it is
which makes zero sense but okay.
A glowing
neck
vagina
.? Im really fucking drunk and that was the first thing that came to mind so Im going with it.
They take the evil centipede and ship it off to another planet via Interstellar Fed Ex. Bye bitch.
Wandas dead set on dying and Im like Me too. None of it makes a ton of sense though because they could honestly just send her to another planet??? Anyway she meets up with Ian and they make out again
they tell each other that they love each other
but they just met like four days ago?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
WEVE REACHED THE FIFTEEN MINUTE MARK, REJOICE, FRIENDS.
Wandas about to get separated from Mel
its really drawn out and tries to be emotional (like the rest of this fucking movie).
She says, and I quote, I want to die and Im like THIS MOVIE MAKES ME FEEL THE SAME. Anyway her and Mel call each other sisters and tell each other they love each other
.its
actually kind of a nice scene? Im really confused about it tbh, so to solve my troubles I just finish my drink.
Screen cuts to black
.and the movie ends.
except it fucking doesnt. God dammit.
Wanda wakes up in another body, because they didnt kill her after all! Goodie! They apparently found another host whos consciousness had long since been dead
whatever
and they put Wanda inside her. NOW SHE CAN BE WITH IAN OH BOY LOVE WINS YET AGAIN <3
The gangs all there and they have
an orgy a group hug. Theres more kissing in the rain. Five fucking minutes.
Mel, Wanda, Jared, and Ian are all driving in the city which is weird because
why? Thats where the aliens are
.whatever, we already know theyre fucking stupid. Anyway, they get pulled over by more aliens and get lowkey interrogated
but surprise! This alien is with another group of rebels! They shake hands, Radioactive plays, and
.fade out. FUCKING FINALLY!!!
Its a total sequel bait ending, but this time, Im pretty sure they canned the sequel. Please take notes, 50 Shades of Grey.
Nothing really happens in the second half. Its fucking stupid and now Im going to go cry myself to sleep knowing that I just wasted 2 hours of my life
and Ill never get that time back. Good fucking night.
