Yeah the writing is just terrible. it's honestly pretty entertaining it's just extremely dumb. I don't know if I'd call the premise lazy though. It's honestly pretty bonkers especially as it goes on.

Living With Yourself was overall good, but I think it waited way too long to make OG Paul Rudd even remotely sympathetic. There was just absolutely no reason to root for him at all, until like, halfway through the final episode and it felt pretty unearned.

Wounds on netflix is alright, but a disappointment after the director's debut movie. There's a lot of handwaving to toxic masculinity and what not but it barely does more than just showing Arnie Hammer being an rear end in a top hat, so it's just there, aimless and gory. The horror imagery is pretty memorable though.

I think it is Hulu only in the states. I have read the short stories collection it is based on and the whole collection is amazing. Shame that the reception to the movie has been lukewarm. I might give it a watch this week. I plan to check out Hereditary on Prime first. I watched (rented) the director’s new movie Midsommar and was blown away. It seems the movie is hit and miss with people, but it might be my favorite horror movie since It Follows. Curious to see if Hereditary is just as good (it seems they cover some of the same things). nate fisher fucked around with this message at 15:23 on Oct 21, 2019 |

Hereditary is fantastic. Personally I like it even more than Midsommar.

The main character being an enormous unlikable rear end in a top hat didn't do the movie any favors. Made me not really care about anything that happened to him. And there's no closure on her girlfriend who also seems to get hosed up by whatever demon or something comes to possess the main character at the end. I liked some of the imagery and such, but I feel like the movie just sort of ended slightly early, like there should have been a bit more plot there. I feel like its fine if a horror movie doesn't explain what exactly happened as long as there is some closure - in this movie, the explanation is vague and there's not really any closure. The guy gets possessed by some demon I guess, the end. Oh and I guess the rear end in a top hat with the flag of the south gets hosed as well, but again, an rear end in a top hat who you don't care about. The girlfriend is the most sympathetic character, and she just gets dropped from the plot near the end.

Speaking of horror I did finally watch Gasper Noe's Climax last week on Prime. I went in to it thinking that it was a movie where the drugs lead to insane dancing and some drama between the dancers (you know maybe Gasper chilled out some). Nope once the drugs kicked in I was led on a handheld horror show. That said I really liked it, despite not being a big fan of his other movies. The opening dance sequence is amazing (I had to watch it twice). Also the cinematography is great, but it does feel like at times it is filmed by a talented director trying to show off all the cool things he learn in film school (much like PTA in Boogie Nights). That said I didn't mind cause I am a sucker for stuff like that. It is a tough movie recommend which is true of all of Noe's movies. I will say my wife actually liked it, and I bet this would be the only one of his movies she will ever say that about.

The trailer for the new Pet Sematary has a loving fantastic smash cut of the dad's face watching his kid get smashed by a truck to his face at the funeral, but that's not actually in the movie, and the movie sucked

Midsommar is an A24 flick right? So that should be on Prime, hopefully at some point in the near future.

Sometimes it's almost right away though. Not sure what their deal is with Amazon but their movies always get put on prime sooner than later. Speaking of A24, High Life went up on Prime and I was expecting to really love it but couldn't get into it. Actually didn't even finish it. I'll probably give it another shot eventually but it just wasn't doing it for me despite being my jam on paper.

Once the narrative shifts to when the whole crew is alive, it gets good (bleak as hell though).

Definitely was well into when the crew was alive. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't grabbing me and I really didn't even know what to make of that crazy rear end masurbation scene. I'll probably restart it this weekend. Something just wasn't clicking maybe I was just too hungover for a movie like that.

Watched Head Count. Surprisingly good psychological thriller/horror. I'd skip the trailer and just go blind. My only complaint is the end, wish it had just stayed a slow burn.
