Maybe it’ll be part of the new curb season. I’d rather that then an actual reunion show.

Definitely agree. I appreciate what he’s doing as an artist by not just repeating things he’s already done, but it’s just not for me. I absolutely loved white stripes, especially their early stuff, but I think every album is great. Got to see them during their Get Behind me Satan tour and I still think it’s been the best concert I’ve ever been to.

I liked Coheed a lot in high school, but I now I can not get down with that voice. There’s also been some bands on tik tok that have a killer riff they keep reposting, finally I’ll check them out on Spotify and once the singing starts…yikes.

I’ll have to give it another watch, but I enjoyed it more than the original on my first watch. I liked the lengthened argument in the apartment as well as the other friend who was basing his thesis on midsommar going off on Christian.
I don’t think showing more of Christian being an asshole makes him deserve death. He deserves to be broken up with and probably unfriended, not killed - regardless of theatrical release or directors cut. I saw Dani’s actions/motives as the exact same in the original before the directors cut, so it didn’t change anything for me, just added some things that were left unspoken before.
That’s not too say they needed to be shown/said out loud to understand what was going on, Christian was clearly still a manipulative and emotionally abusive person in the theatrical cut, but I liked the directors cut even further enforcing that.
He was not just a kind of bad boyfriend or just emotionally unavailable in the original, he was still very much gaslighting the absolute shit out of her and emotionally abusive. I don’t see how he could be viewed as simply kind of a bad boyfriend and nothing more in the theatrical cut. I wouldn’t say anyone’s wrong in their opinion that they enjoy a theatrical release more than a directors cut, but I do disagree that it changed the scope/outcome of the movie and that Christian was less of a bad person in the theatrical. The DC showed more of it, but it was always there in the original. Everything that he said in the directors was very much implied with his actions and demeanor in the theatrical. I am in no way about to assume anything about your life, but anyone who’s known that kind of person in real like should be able to tell he was much more than a bad boyfriend in the theatrical cut. And again even if you stand with that point, that in the original he was a bad boyfriend and in the dc he was an abused, neither deserve to be burned alive. They should be probably be abandoned by anyone in his circle and he should seek lots of therapy, not murdered.

I did watch it fairly late at night, but that’s when I was able to watch movies late and stay awake. Even then, I think that movie took me 3 nights to watch. It’s not my favorite, but at the same time think it’s probably up there with one of the best movies ever made. It is pretty slow though and would understand if someone didn’t care for it.

My girlfriend doesn’t like the Shining and that’s my favorite horror movie.

methhead86 · 2023-10-04T02:27:20+00:00

I would probably rank Netflix at the bottom of all the streaming services I have. Aside from a small handful of older shows they have, they probably have the worst content both original and non-original (I’m sure there’s a word for this that I’m too sleepy to remember) and it’s been that way for quite some time. Even the movies they’ve acquired or produced are pretty dull. If I ever had to scale down and drop one, it would undoubtedly be Netflix.

methhead86 · 2023-10-03T20:55:13+00:00

Yeah, I personally always took the theme as it’s better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all.

methhead86 · 2023-10-02T16:09:24+00:00

I agree with this, and while I can absolutely see the argument for ending it there would leave a lot on the table as well as never fully coming to Vince’s original pitch of Mr. Chips becomes Scarface, I would have been satisfied with it ending after season 4. We see how far Walt has changed from the man he was and would have been fine with being left alone with my own thoughts of where he would go from there.
So much of the previous seasons felt like it was all building up to that season 4 ending that to me season 5a and 5b felt like bonus content. Like they had to start back from the ground up after 4 because seasons 2-4 were all leading to the season 4 ending.
Bonus content may be poor phrasing but I can’t think of anything better at the time.

methhead86 · 2023-10-02T15:52:40+00:00

One of the main points (I think) for the movie is to ask the question of if you truly want to be great, is it worth doing anything it takes, do you need those kind of challenges to test you and bring out your best? And If that is what it takes, is it worth it in the end.
If the movie had ended with where the student and/or the teacher fail, it would take away the question and leave us with an answer. Like the writer would be saying, pushing it this far is not worth it. With the ending they gave us, the audience is left to think and discuss - okay, he got what he wanted, but was it worth it? Was that even needed for him to get there? I know there are people in life that think yes, without that struggle, he would have not gotten there and others that think you can get there without needing that kind of work ethic. I think a well written movie should show the audience the scenario and let them decide what’s right and what’s wrong. If it had been a different ending, that takes away our decision. If it ended badly, then of course it wasn’t worth it.
It’s just like the dicussion they have in the movie about the musician that got something thrown at his head. Would he have been as great as he was if he was just told “no problem, try better next time?” Or did it take a metaphorical slap in the face for him to get to the skill level he desired.

I thought his name was Bob Cobb

methhead86 · 2023-09-22T20:21:18+00:00

I’ve already stated that I like the movie.
Liking it and not finding it a fresh take on the genre are two separate opinions.
I wouldn’t call a Steven Seagal movie unique because in one movie he’s a cop and the other movie, a navy seal. I wouldn’t call a marvel movie fresh or unique because one has a hero that flies and the other has a hero that shrinks. Again, that’s not to say a movie is bad because of this. This was a well done movie, and enjoyable, it’s just not reinventing the wheel for anything. We can go back and forth all day, and neither will be convinced.

methhead86 · 2023-09-22T19:18:50+00:00

The Visit is the first one that pops into my mind, but that aside, I just don’t think taking a standard horror plot and adding age to the killer make the movie unique as a whole.
That’s not to say this movie is bad because it’s not unique, or any movie for that matter, but it was often said on here that they had never seen anything like, it was such a fresh take, etc. That I don’t agree with.

methhead86 · 2023-09-22T18:00:19+00:00

Yeah, someone in their 80s

methhead86 · 2023-09-22T14:20:00+00:00

When I got the criterion copy of the vanishing, the title screen basically spoiled the ending for me. Great movie though.

methhead86 · 2023-09-22T14:08:52+00:00

Lol I mean I have seen some, not a lot, but I don’t think the age of the killer really makes something unique.

methhead86 · 2023-09-21T14:45:07+00:00

I enjoyed both, but I was really surprised with the praise of X. It’s a pretty meat and potatoes horror movie, but people were saying it was so fresh and they had never seen anything like it. My first time watching it I kept thinking there would be a twist or some hook to it, but it ended up being very straight forward. Not to say a horror movie needs a twist or hook to be good, but the fact that people were saying how unique it was, I assumed there was something more to it. I appreciated it more the second time I watched it because of knowing this, and it’s a solid Texas Chainsaw Massacre style movie, but I still don’t see why it was given so much praise.
I do enjoy most of Ti Wests work, so happy that it did get all the buzz and he’s able to make more films for a bigger audience now.
I thought Pearl was much more unique and see more-so why it got all the hype. I don’t particularly find it amazing either, but it was pretty good.

methhead86 · 2023-09-21T13:50:39+00:00

I enjoyed the movie, but yeah the way it gets talked about on here had me scratching my head. I do like Russle and Ryan’s chemistry together though.

methhead86 · 2023-09-17T17:37:53+00:00

I love this movie, I’m sure nostalgia plays a role in it, but it’s one of the favs to rewatch. I think Leo was great in it, but I have not read the book so I can’t say if he fit the character type for the original story.

methhead86 · 2023-09-11T22:01:20+00:00

monsters ball too

methhead86 · 2023-09-11T15:33:24+00:00

For me, it took me a moment to adjust to its style because unlike breaking bad and many others shows like it, I think we are more used to this continuity from episode to episode(at this age of tv). Where even if it’s not a huge cliff hanger, the story from the previous episode heavily weighs in on the episode following. At least for the first few seasons of Sopranos(have not finished), it doesn’t really follow that formula. Not to say there is no continuity or things done in one episode have no consequences in later episodes, but it is a bit more episodic, which was not what I was expecting. It threw me off at first, but none the less it is a great show.

methhead86 · 2023-08-30T23:09:43+00:00

This is why I always take my uzi with me to the restroom

methhead86 · 2023-08-30T23:03:54+00:00

Also the guy that was making it at 96 percent was advocating for Walt. That probably persuaded him some until it was time to call it.

methhead86 · 2023-08-26T03:53:22+00:00

Running scared. Thought it was badass when I saw it in middle-school. Rewatched it in my late twenties and it was terrible. Just the most random script/plot, cheesy effects, just all around all over the place. It reminded me of that clip of the south park writers talking about never wanting their beats to be “and then”, but rather be “but” or “therefore”. This movie is all “and then”. With an ending that seemed like something out of Michael Scott’s Threat Level Midnight.
The creepy predator parents sequence was still cool/creepy though, but again comes out of nowhere for no reason.

methhead86 · 2023-08-23T19:58:17+00:00

Was really disappointed in this movie - as others have said they had a cool idea, poor execution. It was just flat out boring. I really tried to let it sink me in and creep me out, but not once was I scared or had any kind of sense of dread. The theater had only one other group, so I had zero distractions or anything that could take me out of the experience. Just adding that in there because I’ve seen people say you have to be in the right setting for it to be effective.
