He and his friends were tired of her before her family died. right, i tried eluding to that a little with saying how there was something "human" about how he was acting. you sympathized with him slightly and the "great, now how am I ever gonna be able to break up with her" mindset.

mr_hunt Posted July 27, 2020 Share Posted July 27, 2020 it wasn't great...and the story line has been done before, and better....but if you're looking for a 3 out of 5 sci-fi movie to watch, there's freaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiPros Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Fear City was OK. Wonder if Donald paid his 2% to the mob when building the Tower. I miss my Reelz channel, I used to watch all the mob shows they played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy in France Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Don’t exactly care for Stephen King but liked The Outsider and think I like Castle Rock after watching the 1st season Reprisal, sort of Twin Peak-ish is enjoyable but needs at least a 2nd season so hopefully someone picks it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Finally watched Don't F With Cats, documentary about the investigation to finding a killer who started on cats and escalated. A bunch of random people on the internet joined up to investigate and ended up finding him. Reminded me of the 4Chan people that found Shia LeBeouf's flag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a thread just for that documentary on the old board. Pretty cool how a bunch of everyday people from all over got together online to play detective and find the guy and help get him arrested. Kind of a wild story. I thought it was worth the watch. Another one, if anyone enjoys crime documentaries, is McMillions, about how someone rigged the popular McDonald's contest. It starts off strong, gets a bit slow in the middle for a couple episodes (think there was 8 of them) then finishes pretty good. Interesting story all the way around, from the maverick FBI guy who first started looking into the case, to the people involved who were running the con and to the people the FBI enlisted to help them find the culprits and bring them to justice.

You got a deep look into how much of a **** the bf was, in his forever eye rollyness toward anything to do with the gf. He couldn't wait to get away from her while she was grieving in trying to get out and go to a party and then sneakily was planning a summer Europe getaway 😂 But there was still something very human about how selfish he was acting, it made me feel guilty thinking about times in the past where I wanted to just have time with friends and didnt want to hang with my gf. Having some of that insight helps to not give a crap about him and his fate later in the movie. Seeing the grief and depression the gf goes through early on too in the cold dark winter clashes with the Midsommar atmosphere nicely too. There is just something awesome about a horror movie that doesn't try to hide in the dark, and brings it to you in absolute clear, visible light. So you think okay shes in this nice Euro town in the summer, maybe her lucks about to turn around. But obviously, that doesn't happen. Simple sorta symmetry but I really enjoyed it. Didn't it though? She broke up with Ahole boyfriend and got over the relationship, becoming an important figure in her new social group. Seems to me while the ending was obviously very dark, from her perspective she actually achieved happiness in the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Ari Aster literally said the film was a fairy tale. She's definitely happy at the end. Burning Christian was cathartic for Dani -- it was basically burning your ex's stuff to get over them taken to the extreme. Even crazy people can be happy.

The_Omega Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Their happiness is often an illusion, hers was surrendering to delusion. The thing I didn’t get, it clearly seemed to be building toward a supernatural/demonic aspect, with the glowing red eyes on the painting, and the guy in the temple, but it just completely abandoned that angle.

Well, I disagree it was an illusion. It seems pretty straight forward to me that it was actually a happy ending for Dani, albeit in a very dark way. Hence the smile. By the guy in the temple, do you mean the oracle? He was a product of incest. There really wasn't anything supernatural about the film, it was just a pagan cult. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slow, undermining burn of the way her boyfriend treated her totally led to that. I think her tragedy in the beginning led to her thick skin and ability to find happiness with watching her boyfriend die the most excruciating death one can ever imagine.

Happy for what though? 5 minutes? Or has she 100% descended into madness at this point so moving forward sure she's "happy..." but does that also mean shes lost her mind? If she lost her mind how is that true happiness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
