HUNDU THE BEAST GOD posted:This is no value judgement on The VVitch by the way, except for the part that I acknowledge part of the reason I enjoyed it so much is because people were audibly and visibly disgusted at the showing I went to. When I saw it I was sitting next to a guy who hated seeing blood, and I had to wonder why he decided to see an R-rated horror film.

I love the idea that people liking A24 for their consistently good output of niche films is somehow the result of a trick or a cargo cult. Even when a studio eschews everything CD complains about—sequel/reboot fever, studio meddling/movies-by-committee, overly ridiculous click bait marketing—CD whining, uh, finds a way. I'm loling continuously about this

Along those lines, you can "talk" about something without fully endorsing or decrying it, kind of far fetched honestly but it's possible!

Hereditary was the worst movie I saw with Movie Pass It was also the first movie by that company I had seen so when instead of a super spooky ghost movie I got a slow burn movie about a dysfunctional family that ended with the most over the top ridiculous final 20 minutes I was disappointed. Midsommar was good though

Hereditary was a movie almost specifically designed to gently caress up people who have dealt with familial abuse, in a very not-fun way, and I can't really forgive it for that.

Alan Smithee posted:Yeah well why didn’t yakety sax play Someone has to have overlaid it at the part where Gabriel Byrne lights himself on fire by now, right? I think a big part of the problem re: Aster's filmography is that we as audiences are so anesthetized to seeing movies about the domestic problems of obscenely well-off people and then being told by film critics that this is some profound commentary on grief or the human condition or whatever that folks literally don't know how to suss out when a filmmaker is just taking those things to its most absurdly grotesque extreme, and then just directing it well. Like, Midsommar, for instance, is far more authentically concerned with grief than Hereditary, which literally predicates the entire 'relatable' dysfunction of this family on a stoned teenager accidentally decapitating his sister. This is like Dewey Cox but played straight.

Tragedy is comedy. Ari Aster is obviously heavily influenced by Roy Andersson who specialises in scenes like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wC9FsakgH9Y

Have some Avatar 2 concept art: http://twitter.com/officialavatar/status/1214419048974315520 Looks like Avatar 2 alright  Wish I liked the production design of these things because I'm sure there's going to be some rad stuff in the sequels. As it stands they just look like bad Yes album covers. I wish they looked like rad Yes album covers.

I hope he plays like the High Evolutionary or Uatu or Ikaris or some other character like that just so we can see Bale ultra serious his way through a Jeff Goldblum in Ragnarok caliber costume. It'd be perfect.

Majkol posted:The bolded part is a little dishonest, it's pretty clear Toni Collette's mother was a major abusive piece of poo poo and it hosed up the family real good. It's even in the title. But the breaking point has nothing to do with Annie's mom being emotionally abusive, and that's the disconnect a lot of people are having with their very ability to enjoy Hereditary. They throw up their hands at all these seeming allusions to portentous meaning and then see the Rosemary's Baby twist and are like, "What is this bullshit?" All that stuff about 'trauma being inherited' or whatever doesn't scan because the conflict of the film explicitly isn't about inherited trauma. What you have is a rift of shame and guilt produced by an unimaginably morbid event - which does not require any heritable, pre-existing trauma in order to play out in the exact same way - and then a conspiracy. What's being 'inherited' in the film is not the effects of abuse or the trauma. It's wealth and privilege. These spectacularly violent events and meticulously plotted conspiracies are necessary to Annie and her family because the problem is not actually that her mom was abusive. It's that the family is secure, alienated, and bored. They need these absurd events because it's the only thing that fills the massive gap in their lives.

Is there an active fandom for Avatar these days? Is Cameron expecting that people going to see this are gonna remember every little detail of Avatar? I saw it twice and I can barely tell you the basics of the plot.

Avatar's strength when it came out was that it was the upswing of the 3D revival, and it was one of the first 3D movies that looked good and wasn't just being gimmicky with the 3D. It was a nice tech demo.
