X (Ti West, March 18, 2022) Movie • Page 7

Mad Solar?

 

I would love to see what someone thinks after watching Pearl first then X

 

Glad I saw X first and think it works better that way.

From Ti West interview:

I loved "X," don't get me wrong, but after watching "Pearl," I have a greater appreciation for it. How do you feel Pearl's story changes, if an audience member decides to watch "Pearl" before "X?"

I don't know. I mean, this is one of these things that's like, we're going to figure this out in real time. We're going to do a double feature with the New Beverly, and "Pearl" plays first. I don't know what that'll be like versus dealing with an alternative order, because it would just have to happen. When we were making "Pearl," the idea was that it's like, "Sure, it's a prequel," but that it could stand on its own.

You don't have to see "X" to like "Pearl," it enriches it if you do. And you don't have to see "Pearl" to like "X," but it enriches it if you do. But it was always meant to be standalone movies, That it's like "Manhunter" and "The Silence of the Lambs." There's three "Silence of the Lambs” movies, and Hannibal Lecter is the through line, but they're not directly connected. That's, in a way, how I thought about it. I'm optimistic that people will come see "Pearl," who maybe were like, "Oof, 'X,' porn slasher, that's too much for me." But then, they'd see "Pearl" and be, "Oh, but this was right up my alley." So, in many ways, hopefully, it broadens it for people. Or it brings people in to watch "X" that maybe they wouldn't have, because now they have a new interest in it.

 

it's a song from Cudi's Indicud album, guessing it might be his production company name too or something

 

Pearl was awesome. Stoked for MaXXXine now lol

 

Had no idea what to expect after liking X but Pearl was great. Way more up my alley too given that I’m more of a Silence of the Lambs kinda guy instead of thrasher/horror type films

 

Legitimately can’t stop thinking of this film! Love the heck outta of it. “I’M MARRIED!!”

 

this is a lot better than X but still just kinda fine. nothing close to, like, barbarian.

 

Can someone see Pearl without seeing X? I've seen X but my wife has not.

 

Yes

 

Ready for this to hit VOD or the screening room

 

Thank ya.

 

There are a few references, but nothing integral to the plot or understanding of the movie.

 

The writing in Pearl was just so damn good.

 

pearl was so awesome

 

Yeah, so I don't know if anyone actually made a Pearl thread, but it's my favorite movie of the year lol. Thought X was good, not great, but Pearl might be West's masterpiece. I adored it. The writing and Goth's performance were both so good.

 

still no UK release date for Pearl.

 

Pearl rules

 

X was pretty great but Pearl blows it away.

 

As someone who though X was just okay I’m excited to watch Pearl.

 

finally got to see Pearl now it's out there on the internet and absolutely loved it. such a unique and interesting film. really wish I could've seen it at the cinema. I think Mia gives one of my favourite performances ever. I feel like it's going to make me appreciate X more on a re-watch too having her backstory.

 

Wow. Pearl.

Pretty interesting article talking about some deeper, underlying subject matter within the film.

Y'all I'm so ready for MaXXXine.



Ti West taking us back to the 80s again? Hell yeah.

 

Reading that makes me want to see it again until I remember how I slept with the lights on for the next few nights after my first viewing haha

 

Were you afraid of Kid Cudi’s massive dong
