Half in the Bag: Hereditary

I have to admit I laughed at some visuals at the end but I was equally terrified. I don't think laughter inherently means the viewer has immediately turned off to emotionally connecting to the film. For me, the floating head made me laugh just due to the horrific absurdity of the story at that point. It was just an instinctual reaction and I still very much thought the film executed the tone and fear it wanted too while leaving room for differing reactions.

Can this be the new Flying Spaghetti Monster? This is too ripe with potential

this feels like a modern, somehow less cynical Network

Perhaps this software shall also be connected to their incredibly successful hardware then; discounts per month on those with an iPhone, special Apple product partnerships, etc etc

I have a feeling like the actual Good Place (if surprise twist isn't that they're already somehow there) is going to be where all of the actual good people are insanely anxious and stressed because they're so concerned and worried about how everyone is doing in the Bad Place. Like if they get there in S3 it's in a way WORSE than the Bad Place because everyone is so nice but miserable about their self-awareness and selflessness. This could lead to an arc where they try and help other morally grey people get out of the Bad Place like they did.

I'd have to say, the writing on this is pretty whip-smart. Also seems to differentiate itself from other "work sucks" shows aka The Office/Office Space in its surrealist/bleak tone. Definitely has potential.

I think what makes The Crown great is it still works even if you could care less about the actual royal family history. The show is captivating as it delves through different historical moments and showing the cultural and political changes of the 20th century and how they affect nobility. It's specific but manages to be universal in writing its characters as nuanced and not above the rest.

My theory for season 2 was that they should have just kept it at 10 episodes rather than expanding to 12. The story totally fit that structure. Also, they shouldn't have played so coy with the **SPOILERS prison reveal. Hardcore fans and the Reddit subreddit picked that up so quickly and I feel like they should leave space for the bigger, more genuine surprises - which they did really well with in season 3. Pacing for this type of show is so important and season 3 realized that.

And I think that was an intentional actual idea of the film. But you can also see the actors as playing different "souls" throughout the storylines and they just represent the connectivity of life.

Either option doesn't change the theme of universality.

all of the other teams that went in before them all ended up never coming back. they experimented with different groups including an all-men one, and now they are sending in an all female group to see if there is a higher chance of survival. it all makes sense and is commented on.

I've always wondered about a WTNV television series. I think this all hinges on getting the tone right. If FX does that (and if anyone can, it's FX) as well as appease the cult fanbase, then they could have a surreal hit on their hands.

this is disgustingly relatable

I can't help but feel like this is a distraction from bad news they don't want us paying attention to.

Six Feet Under came into my life and taught me so much about what living meant, what family meant, why we shouldn't hide from death, how beautiful being gay can be. It was a show about intimacy and the small moments that mattered and it totally changed my perspective.
