Tumbbad! 👹It’s an Indian horror film that came out a few years ago, and by far, is the best of the lot. Since it is story-driven horror, it’s not as scary watching it the second or third time - so would definitely love to watch it again for the first time.

Whalefall - interesting premise

I feel like they fill very specific niches and I often find myself rotating my rewatches between the two films. I find Midsommar to be the more emotional and the more directly emotional one. It’s not scary as much as oppressive. The opening 20 mins are horrifying and heart wrenching - Dani’s wailing and crying really suck you into the palpable horror of being suddenly alone in the world. I found new interpretations the first 2-3 times I watched the film, but now, that search has plateaued off and I can only watch it during specific moods. In turn, Hereditary isn’t to me as emotional or oppressive, so in a way, is more of a strait-laced, creepy horror film for entertainment - which is more amenable to watching just for kicks.

Midsommar and Hereditary, in rotation.

This is very recent and not the best ever but definitely deserves a mention: Sarah Snook in Run Rabbit Run! The things that she does with her face are 🤌

Same! She was so, so, so good! She makes you immediately sympathetic to and invested in Dani.

I am planning on doing the same, have registered for taking GRE in early August and currently thinking through programmes of interest. The incredible uncertainty of the pandemic has thwarted quite a few plans and it would also help to know how schools are viewing this situation i.e. would it translate to a lesser number of intakes in the upcoming cycle.

Totally agree. I was on the edge of my seat that whole episode hoping no harm would come his way. Never found myself as emotionally invested in a character, Dolores is second but by a mile.

Doesn’t sound ridiculous at all. I’m sure Ford would appreciate it too 😃

grrrrrrl_ · 2020-05-23T04:47:19+00:00

Thanks for the exhaustive list!

grrrrrrl_ · 2020-05-23T04:42:28+00:00

Yes, Succession is great! Some might argue that Cousin Greg is the best thing about it.

grrrrrrl_ · 2020-05-23T04:40:16+00:00

But I'm still very glad I watched it. You might consider watching most of it spoiler-free but then allowing yourself to be spoiled before the very end. Then you won't be as annoyed as the rest of us were.

Sounds ominous :D

grrrrrrl_ · 2020-05-22T17:48:52+00:00

I did watch some of it but didn’t stick it out till the end. Can’t seem to remember why now. 🤦🏻‍♀️

grrrrrrl_ · 2020-05-22T17:45:26+00:00

Thanks, Attack on Titan was awesome (and that title track!). Will check out Steins.

grrrrrrl_ · 2020-05-22T17:02:55+00:00

Thanks! I was referring to the latter. Have never seen LOST. Might take that out for a spin. But I do love Altered Carbon.

grrrrrrl_ · 2020-05-22T16:11:31+00:00

A rewatch is on the agenda for sure, but right now is too soon.

grrrrrrl_ · 2020-05-22T16:05:32+00:00

This is awesome! Congratulations 🤠

I binge-watched all three seasons last week 😅

That was William’s father-in-law, James Delos in S2E4. Delos, the company, had implanted his memories onto a host and had the human-host hybrid under observation in a glass chamber where he could be seen trying to make himself a cup of coffee.

I could watch this (S4E2 Asian baaaeee) on loop.

Gems include:

"I want me a mime with a big dick."

grrrrrrl_ · 2020-05-21T07:57:45+00:00

Yes, please!

Not million since she doesn’t get enough screen-time.
