I get that you hate it because it has the A24 logo before, but damn if its not an impressive well crafted movie.

And Toni Colette.
It’s laughable, amateurish dogshit with a garbage script and ugly cinematography. Whenever Aster talks about it and his influences, he runs the gamut of condescending art horror cliches. I hate all these damn movies and directors.

My favorite part was when Gabriel Byrne said the Google Translate line “What language is even that?”

amateurish? pretty much everything they do is so fucking hard to accomplish. The Cinematography is a beauty, looks like a Gregory Crewdson pic.
Its fine if you dont like it, but there is nothing amateurish about this movie. Not one bit.

More enjoyable than TLJ.

I fall somewhere in between VinylGuy's proclaiming it the movie of the year and LV's usual hyperbolic "this is AMATEURISH GARBAGE that is WORTHLESS DOGSHIT for FUCK PEASANTS", but probably a bit closer to the latter

It's such a slow, boring, seldom scary, barely ever interesting movie. LV is way off on his "amateurish" claim-- it is a very skillfully made film, and I really liked the look of it; the Gregory Crewdson allusions are pretty in-your-face but it works for the story. The cast is great, even though they're not always able to sell some of the more ludicrous story turns. There are a lot of unintentionally humorous moments, as well as a few powerful and disturbing ones. Overall, I spent a huge chunk of the movie wanting for it to be over.

"Last Shift"

Shitty horror flick, but the lead actress is stunning.

Theory of Everything came up on the Netflix queue. I should probably really up date it.
It was fine as far as bio pics go. I can see why Eddie Redmayne got the Oscar but it had that award bait feel the whole time.

Just finished Annihilation. Jesus. I had an easier time figuring out what was going on in the books!

That bear was pretty wild. Didn't care for the ending, thought it explained too much while not explaining enough, if that makes sense. Like I know he was a copy but why would the field dropping make him 'better'?

Off to find some fan theories.

It Comes at Night


Actually not bad. Had a realism to it that many similar movies miss.

Escape Plan 2. The first one was fun, but this one sucked hard

2nd view of Hereditary.
Spoiler: show
Loved how everything folds from the start. Their grandma actually comes as a sweet one in that letter Annie finds.
