ordered the 4K, can't stop thinking about this

 

Just finished. Definitely my film of the year so far. I can’t post anything deeper yet, as I’m still processing, but.. wow.

 

saw this last minute when some other plans fell through but really enjoyed it. probably my second favourite of his after Midsommar, def his funniest movie. the cut to what happened to Brian after the massacre had me gasping

 

shoutout to the older couple near me (they actually took the seat I booked but I digress) who were super loudly reacting to everything and who, just before Joe saw the white supremacy sculpture loudly exclaimed "he's got Covid!!!" like it hadn't occurred to them at any other point the previous 2 hours lol

 

i kinda want to rewatch this i liked it

 

I’m watching this again and it’s even better the second time. It’s still very funny, but it is feeling much darker to me this time around.

 

The first time I watched I completely missed the Michelle Obama trans conspiracy stuff during Brian’s montage. Jesus.

 

My Emby server is down and I can't log into Plex on my TV for some reason and I'm furious lol really wanted to rewatch this weekend

 

Got the 4k but not watching til after spooky szn

 

I have been thinking about the "YOUR BEING MANIPULATED" sign more than maybe any detail form a piece of art this year. I am excited to rewatch this soon. I have a feeling I will still feel it goes off the rails a bit in the third act, but am also starting to feel (especially since the Charlie Kirk stuff) that this could go down as one of the essential pieces of media from the 2020s.

Between this film and Geese's "Trinidad," ("THERE'S A BOMB IN MY CAR"), it really feels like paranoia is a defining artistic trait halfway into the decade. Been thinking of writing something about that, but still kicking it around in my head.

 

I have also been thinking of the YOUR BEING MANIPULATED sign a lot lately. Even drunkenly rambled about it recently to someone who hasn’t even seen the movie, lol.

 

I found a $16 bootleg of the A24 shirt on TeePublic, but I'm afraid everyone will just think I'm illiterate. Lmao

 

Love me a TeePublic moment, lol. Just got an order in from them the other day.
