But we agreed the cops are race/gender bent in line with the political moment and that it's not just "representation"?

You said the diverse cops were a factor in crushing white male patriarchy. I said they were a very predictable PR move in a new film that needs cops to be good guys.

If what you're saying now is that they are in line with the political moment, then yes I very much agree

I got the hbo. Without spoilers was this pretty dope? I havent read anything from this thread to avoid spoilers.

Yes its highly entertaining

Thank you. I will leave thread now until I watch then.

watching this today

If he makes another Midsommar you'd be right, but I do think he's one of the most overhyped/overrated though

below insidious, saw, conjuring 1&2 but it's still dope

THE TWIST

For the first part of the movie I was like, why did test audiences hate this.

And then I was like oh this is why

This movie is so hard

All the posters and promo are sooo clever in teasing the movies plot

Same

@elvis saw insidious would rank it higher than the conjuring 2 but lower than malignant

What was the social commentary???

Test audiences really are how we end up with awful horror movies if there’s no jump scares they say it’s boring. Then when they add it it gets panned by critics.

I lied... This was INSANE

Yeah I was just going off of what a couple of people on Letterboxd said, more specifically Mike Thorn.

Yeah his review was good. But there are a lot of italian pseudo-tropes that will be obvious to giallo fans. Even the killers whole outfit looks like something straight out of those films tbh

While Aster has grown on me as this dorky psued who’s charmingly trying really hard, I totally agree with everything you’ve been saying in the thread.

Yeah i just dont find his tryin hard charming at all Something about his face also just pisses me off

You see that Criterion video where the Safdie’s are like kinda bullying him lol

:pog:

i feel like youd enjoy insidious 2 aswell then, its not as scary but its fun and doesnt feel unncessary, especially afer that end of the first one

I honestly like Midsommar a lot more than Hereditary.

1. Conjuring 2
2. Saw
3. Insidious 2
4. Conjuring
5. Insidious
6. Dead Silence

Will update when I see this today.

alright then imma watch it later or tomorrow most likely

Yeah lol and that pic of them in the criterion closet where aster is looking cringey and someone captioned it "when the cool kids invite you to their lunch table as a joke"
