Fuck, i loved it. Flanagan is such a good director...Ewan was good but both Ferguson and the kid were just incredible...The movie looks stunning, like a movie from another era.

Encouraging. I'll save it till next Halloween season but looking forward to it.
next year? why?

I dont see it as a horror movie at all.
I was going to come up with a detailed explanation but the short answer is cause I want to.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

it's upcoming. I just remember liking the first one more the last time I saw it.

Watched What We Do In the Shadows and I swear I fell asleep the first time I watched it because I would say I didn't remember 3/4 of the movie at all.

I liked Cloverfield back in the day, it was a cool experience to see it in the theatre.

The second one was really fun. The last one was....not good.

I'm at the MDQ Film Festival right now and so far I've watched 7 movies. Two have been bad (O Que Arde, Los Que Vuelven), one terrible (Nona Si Me Mojan Yo Los Quemo), one good (La Muerte No Existe y El Amor Tampoco) and two great (Parasite, Lina From Lima). Mixed bag so far but there are 25 more movies on my list

What did I do?

lol, too true.

'made' him watch Cloverfield by not telling him what it was. He enjoyed it - I think? - and said it wasn't as scary as I made it out to be. I never made it out to be scary, and even said as much several times! Revisionist history is strong with this one.

Midsommar - Meh. It was fine but didn't love it as i was hoping I would

Yesterday - Fun, joyful, and entertaining enough for a couple of hours. Amazing premise really.
