Midsommar (Ari Aster, July 3, 2019) Movie • Page 60

Yeah don’t get me wrong I love the movie but I’m not dropping $30+ extra for a picture book and a foreword by Scorsese

 

I already have the directors cut blu ray, I'm fine with that.

 

Don’t flaunt your region at us like this!!

 

I feel like if I had a BluRay player (and a record player for vinyls) and a job I'd be spending so much more money on stuff haha

 

I envy you lol

 

Oh yes, collecting is truly a money pit but if you love it, it almost justifies itself. Until bill time comes in, then well....

 

Haven’t seen the directors cut yet and I do love me a nice physical copy. Also bought the Ramy Youseff zine.

 

That looks gorgeous. Hope they release a standard one soon then

 

You don’t have a PS4 or XB1?

 

I could be wrong, but I thought XB1 had a BR drive as well.

 

Two movies completely snubbed for Oscars and still invited to the Academy. Gotta love it.

 

Nah, the most recent console I have is a PS1 haha. I game on PC, but I miss out on those sweet PlayStation exclusives

 

Ah. I knew you were a gamer just couldn’t remember what you gamed on.

 

Marty Scorsese wrote an intro to the director’s cut. What a king.

Note - Hereditary spoilers

 

Marty gets it.

 

I think that write up is going to be the thing that finally gets me to watch Hereditary. Again, in broad daylight, on a sunny day, with all of the windows open.

 

I've only seen it in theaters and I am scared to watch it again. 90% because I am afraid it won't hold up to my first impression - 10% because its too sp00ky.

 

Hereditary is 2spoopy

 

Great article

Midsommar and the Normalization of Violence

 

Made me love the film even more. The second time I watched this, Reynor’s performance definitely stood out more, especially when he’s being drugged in that scene.

 

Wow, this is identical to my theater experience and what we talked about at length back then. That sustained over the top laughter still sticks with me.

 

I love directors that are able to subvert audience expectation and reactions and utilize that as part of their social commentary/moral of the story. Hope that makes sense on this sunday morning lol

 

Found a video of someone unboxing the director's cut if anyone else is interested to see. Waaaaaaaant.

Edit: NSFW artwork btw

 

Really hoping this means I’ll get mine soon, I haven’t even gotten a shipping notification ;-;

 

Got my shipping notification about an hour ago!
