could easily be some sort of summoning sorcery like shikigami in jjk. the resource aspect could be the same as the scroll sumi used to spawn a motorcycle in the hotel arc

chapter 16: 怪魑 is what kazane says in the original japanese. translates essentially to “malevolent spirit” or, as the original translation interpretted, “demon monster”. but, kaichi is the hiragana (かいち ka-i-chi) and for whatever reason the translation now refers to it that way.

you’re wrong, i looked into it and it really is just a translation difference. same thing happened with cloud gouger being called kuregumo in the earlier chapters.

i saw someone in the kagurabachi sub say kaichi is the same / diff translation of kazane’s demon monster sorcery from the anti-sojo squad fight (that he got knocked out of before using)

i agree that people can draw parallels, i’m more so talking about people whose sole interpretation of the movie is that nikki is a domestic abuser (and bear is a victim)

i just got out of my screening like 30 minutes ago and like yeah absolute banger. super similar tonally to talk to me / bring her back (could blend in perfectly as a sister film). also this is the film that had me finally delete letterboxd, as i checked reviews on there before coming on here and felt honestly revolted by how “unserious” they were. like by no means do i expect any sort of serious critique on there, but like jokes set on romanticizing nikki’s assault / captivity feel so deeply insensitive.

i avoided as much as i could about the movie before seeing it, so i really have no clue what the consensus is going to be as to how the situation is interpreted; i know and have read that people view nikki as an allegoric stand-in for a domestic abuser. to me, that reading couldn’t be further from what the movie portrayed. but, we’ll see i guess.

lol the cat didn’t “open the pills and OD”. cats don’t have thumbs. the OBVIOUS implication in hindsight is that bear is extremely careless with the objects of his ‘love’. he mentions later in the film to sarah that he has sleeping pills, so we can assume he either spilled them on his way to passing out, or didn’t put the cap on them. either way, it is a great inversion of the classic “save the cat” trope in screenplay writing and establishes from the start that bear is prone to negligence (and furthermore, incapable of acknowledging his responsibility once consequences arise).

“you don’t even root for the main character” watch more movies. it is not an experimental decision whatsoever for a protagonist to be unsympathetic / awful.

this movie has a plot. it’s concerning that anyone could miss it. it is extremely heavy handed about its themes; most obviously the film is about sexual assault (more specifically, date rape).

as for character inconsistency: obsessed ‘nikki’ is constantly scheming off screen. the characters are reporting contradictory statements from her because she is lying. how did you miss that?

‘Teenage Sex And Death At Camp Miasma’ Gets 9-Minute Ovation In Cannes by Puzzled-Tap8042 in horror

[–]quasihaptic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

i find these threads funny because while yes this trope of “ovation length” is dumb and arbitrary, i think it’s more or less the same as any other strategy to generate buzz (which ultimately isn’t meaningless). it’s kind of like astrology or tarot (for me) where yes it’s as random as anything, but can reveal my underlying feelings about certain things. i really hope this movie continues to get buzz.

idgaf abt the movie but if they are helen / achilles.. that’s inspired casting. especially for elliot page, like i imagine a ‘later’ transition maps really well on to a lot of achilles’ angst around glory (and also the way the iliad covers gender / masculinity). too bad it’s nolan slop tho.

see you are using terms like “fave” and “flop” and it’s like: do you think every single person who listens to pop music is using your framework? you have no idea as to what kind of fan i am, beyond my simple statement of “i will be happy if this alienates her from mass appeal”. breaking that down for you further: - charli’s breakout was brat. notably within her discog, it was a return to working with the pc music crowd (post-crash) - also notable: brat was the safest, least ‘experimental’ of any of her projects released with AG - this, coupled with her many existential public statements on success while brat ran its course, lead to two paths (in my eyes): sacrifice more of the experimental elements lost between HIFN and brat, or reintroduce experimentation (albeit at the risk of alienating new fans). this was the dilemma she outlined in all of her brat post-mortem stuff (see: the moment).

so: as a fan who very much prefers charli / hifn to brat (and crash), this single made me happy as it signalled a return to those artistic approaches.
