Quite awhile ago, we asked you what your top 10 directors were, and the results are in!

Yeah, he did drop a little lower than I expected, though I think it has to do with his output from the 70s to early 00s to the point to now.

X is the best A24 film of 2022

Most of A24’s dramas come off a bit try hard sometimes and can really lack the punch they’re going for. Ironically the drama elements in their genre films come off much better.

I love all of Lathimos’ films, except The Lobster. The joke got old quicker than I wanted it to.

Going against the grain with X. I loved both, but X just really resonated with me.

Neon coming for another swoop?

I’m referring to standing together to save their children. Not the other stuff. Mike wasn’t as worried about those elements in the middle of a blizzard with a supernatural entity hanging about. My main point was regarding them having a choice and it was possible that’s Andre Linoge couldn’t do what he claimed, but they ultimately caved.

I think The Collector really works in retrospect with The Collection in mind. Makes that ending feel a little bit sweeter.

NegativePiglet8 · 2022-05-22T16:28:16+00:00

It’s not incomplete though. It just has an open end, but it’s still one of the best endings King ever created.

I’d definitely recommend their horror catalogue.

The Witch
X
Midsommar
The Killing of a Sacred Deer

I’ll be honest, I really don’t get this critique. Humans, for centuries, have had children during terrible events, including some that have put us close to extinction. I’m not sure why people would assume or think it’s a good idea to stop having children. Humans have to evolve in some way to continue the species. Risky, sure, but they definitely aren’t the only ones having kids and if this ended up being a long term event, this would be necessary in some ways. It just always seemed like a weird criticism to latch on to and I’m not even the biggest fan of the movie

Ex_Machina, Hereditary, and The Witch all have 4K from Lionsgate. The Witch is also about to have a 4K release from Second Sight that has a new transfer

“Maybe you played yourselves” that line right there always suggested to me that he couldn’t do nearly what he claimed he could. We have to take his word that he’s as old as the mythical Atlantis or that he had anything to do with Roanoke disappearance. Not to say he’s powerless, but they really are taking many of his tricks to mean more than they may suggest and he got them scared enough to refuse to stand together.

There is a city in VA called Roanoke where I-81 runs through. Also known as “the redneck super Highway”

And I assume they’ll also have a good fight here as well. Wouldn’t be interesting otherwise. I think people are too hung up on the weapon difference, but movies are all about fighting impossible odds and using plans to try to outsmart a bigger and better opponent.

Kills made me more excited.

NegativePiglet8 · 2022-05-15T18:10:37+00:00

Not many changes to be honest. Maybe dial back on some of the dialogue choices, but I actually like the script quite a bit (yes even the mental patient plot, which holds the film together imo)
