possible watch

very much a take on "flying out" culture, Epstein, Puff type of shyt. That other guy who had the Bahamas island. Nygard.

looks so overly done, the sets too glossy, the camera work too bright, the acting too broad. The preview too long. The solution too obvious.

None of the quiet menace or ambiguity that could anchor a movie like this. The tension is in the unknown. The suspense is the not knowing whether your benefactor is really a crazed killer or whatever, or just your normal weirdo hedge fund manager. The way Get Out's premise is all about the distance between being a goofy "complacent liberal" or an actual slave owner.

but thats kind of a signature of many movies in the last 10 years. Read Wesley Morris piece this morning about 1999, and think about if this movie was in 1999, it would be like 8MM mixed with The Sixth Sense

The year 3030
Pretty good was tense at points
i am curious on how strong that forgetmenot shyt really is, cause it seems like they need to be constantly drugged to maintain the illusion.
:mjlol: at the ending when that old ass white guy pretends not to know, then frida blinks twice :youngsabo: then the guy like :damn::wtf:

Zoe might have the best directorial debut since Jordan Peele. This movie was really good. Should come with a serious trigger warning tho
mine did...pretty much said it would trigger you because of some of the themes/situations
