    Stream for Staten Island @Slyk
    Beware tho man I don't like watching streams cuz they always lag and buffer unless it's thru a legit app like Netflix or hbomax

    Anyone who watches this should also read the short story it's based off of, it's brilliant. Movie's a lot different but they're both great imo: https://www.newyorker.com/humor/daily-shouts/sell-out-part-one

    @Slyk you hated Midsommar?

    Also I'd def consider The Lighthouse horror—it's a broad genre and I'm not a huge fan of more 'traditional' horror either. I like more unsettling stuff like this/midsommar.

    Good Time. Safdie Bros flick. Thought it was really good. Pattinson was great.

    i haven't been this angry at a movie in a while tbh...maybe ever. imo, it was the realest example of "clapping for the wrong reasons".. they introduced incredibly half-baked, border-line random captivating properties to the movie, for the sole reason of introducing arbitrary properties to the movie. the mythology & hieroglyphics, the turning of people into trees, the bear, the sketch that the swedish friend was drawing at the coffee table that was meant to be a sneaky addition to the audience to fool them into thinking someone deep was happening.. it was all arbitrary to get people to applaud for something that the creators themselves seemingly didn't have any specific intention behind. slap enough random interactions/surroundings together, and people will search & clap for unintended deep meanings.

    couple all of that with the fact that the entire plot pivoted on an incredibly convenient decision that was out of the hands of the swedish captivator to begin with (the girl invited herself and he had nothing to do with it, despite it having to happen)...plus that all of the individual interactions throughout were so mind bogglingly convenient choices (continuous taking of mind altering drugs, despite people going missing and being killed directly in front of them).. and if you can get over all of that, you also have to accept that you're living in a world where the swedish guy went to university in the states, with the sole intention of creating a longggg con to make these friends, with the intention that a few years later, he would convince them to come on this international trip with him as sacrifices, and that they would all be able to go with him.
