wasted over two hours of my life watching that garbage
very disappointing after a classic like Hereditary
None of you men like that movie (o don’t say that to disparage, just my observation). Must be because her cheating dub excuse for a selfish boyfriend turned into a bear. All of the men in the movie took Ls and were unlikeable. Midsommar is a very engaging deep horror movie tackling depression, loss, emptiness, escapism -the feeling of inclusion and loneliness. Once you peel back through layers, it all had a profound affect on me. The movie must be harder for the male psyche to relate to is what I conclude. None of my male friends who saw it offline liked it very much either.

Because that movie is actually in my Top 10, I wouldn’t mind seeing a Midsommar 2 go into production

Say it again this was amazing

I didn’t not understand this movie. AT ALL. I must have missed a key point, concept or something. That movie went way over my head and it was confusing asf. I kept rewinding and it still did nothing for me. Then I ran out of patience and gave up trying to figure it out. I get the part about her body swapping, brain swapping or whatever but it hit type weird for me with her assuming different lifestyles. I can’t even explain what I want to say.

PRODIGAL SON is a fresh take on a crime franchise with a provocative and outrageous lead character and a darkly comedic tone, from Emmy Award-nominated executive producers Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter (“Riverdale,” “The Flash”) and writers Chris Fedak (“Deception,” “Chuck”) and Sam Sklaver (“Deception,” “Bored to Death”). The series stars Tom Payne (“The Walking Dead”) as the son of a convicted serial killer (Emmy Award and Golden Globe nominee Michael Sheen, “Masters of Sex,” “Frost/Nixon”), who has made hunting murderers his life’s work. The series also stars Bellamy Young (“Scandal”), Emmy Award and Golden Globe nominee Lou Diamond Phillips (“Longmire,” “Stand and Deliver”), Halston Sage (THE ORVILLE), Aurora Perrineau (“The Carmichael Show”), Frank Harts (“The Path”) and Keiko Agena (“Dirty John”).

I personally wasn't bothered by the fate of the cheating boyfriend. My issues with Midsommar were that it was just an annoying experience to sit through.
The characters were annoying, the sounds were annoying, the events were annoying. It was just a cacophony of annoyance that I couldn't get to the end of fast enough.
It was beautiful to look at though...that cinematographer did a masterful job on a shyt movie.

Midsommar was dope to me. Visually incredible with a dope journey into psychological themes. World religions was one of the most interesting classes for me in college and I feel like my prof woulda bodied a class about perspectives from it.

The other thing I love about it is how effective the cult recruitment was. Most people I know on a single watch came away indifferent to everyone dying bc they’re a bunch of a-holes (except the couple that just wanted to leave, that was foul). The movie manipulates the audience how the cult manipulates the characters.

And I mean every character. On ensuing sit throughs it hit me more and more how the cult knew how people would behave (the whole plot drawn out on the walls in the very beginning). That dude curated his choices to bring along knowing which role they’d play. I’m still toying with the idea that the cult may have had a hand in her family’s death even but that’s a reach with the evidence given.

Anyway, to me the Aster movies are made for at least two watches. If you hate the flick, obviously don’t bother going back. But for anyone even a little intrigued at how the movie twists things in the end, his perspective plays are some of the best in any media right now imo. You know what the main characters know on the first view. The second time, you know more and completely reshapes the experience.

The Quarantine Stream - **MINOR SPOILERS ***
The Series: 30 Coins

Where You Can Stream It: HBO Max

The Pitch: An over-the-top phantasmagory of body horror, religious horror, and cosmic horror, 30 Coins follows a disgraced exorcist who is banished to a small town in Spain. Once there, all sorts of spooky shyt starts happening, and the priest is forced to join up with a curious veterinarian and a surprisingly ripped mayor to combat the forces of evil.

Why It’s Essential Quarantine Viewing: Vulgar, scary, endlessly entertaining, and more than a touch sacrilegious, 30 Coinsis like 30 different horror movies packed into one series. So if you’re craving new horror, here’s the show you’ve been looking for.


30 Coins wants you to know it’s not pulling its punches right from the jump. The first episode kicks-off with a blood-soaked bank robbery that gives way to a glorious opening credits sequence depicting the crucifixion of Jesus. And this isn’t some water-downed Easter pageant crucifixion, oh no. This is more akin to Mel Gibson’s Passion of the Christ, but even more lurid – slow-motion blood goes flying off of the gore-soaked Jesus as Roman soldiers cackle below. At one point, Judas, Jesus’ pal who sold him out, shows up at the base of the cross and the dying Christ grins down at him with bloody teeth. Understandably perturbed, Judas runs off and hangs himself – the 30 pieces of silver he sold his Lord out for dropping to the ground at his feet. At this point, we cut back to the Roman soldiers who now all have pale white, pupil-free eyes as they silently scream. And remember: all of this is happening during the opening credits of the show. We haven’t even gotten to the real action yet.

If you were hoping for a breather after those credits, you’re out of luck, because from there, 30 Coins cuts to a scene where a cow gives birth to a human baby in a small Spanish village. Elena (Megan Montaner), the local vet on hand who was expecting to help birth a calf, is understandably shocked – as is Paco (Miguel Ángel Silvestre), the mayor of the village who also just happens to be surprisingly jacked – this guy never skips chest day, or arm day, or leg day, or…well, you get the picture.

The locals who witness the birth think some sort of supernatural fukkery is at play, so they all run off to Father Vergara (Eduard Fernández), the priest who just moved to town. And how does 30 Coins introduce this priest? Why, it shows him beating the shyt out of a well-worn heavy bag, his muscular arms gleaming with sweat, of course. But now you’ve probably guessed that subtlety isn’t in 30 Coins‘ vocabulary. I should also mention that Father Vergara has a secret arsenal room in his church loaded with guns mounted to the wall like he’s The Punisher, because of course he does.

As the show unfolds, Elena, Pacio, and Father Vergara are forced to work together to deal with all sorts of supernatural shenanigans that are plaguing the area. The happenings are related to an exorcism Father Vergara performed a while back – an exorcism that resulted in the death of the guy who was supposed to be exorcised. The forces of evil are chasing after those 30 pieces of silver that Judas dropped during the opening credits, and Father Vergara just happens to have one on hand. And while it’s clear all of this mayhem would stop if the humans would just give the demons their damn coins, our heroes remain stubborn – probably because if they just gave in we wouldn’t have a show.

Hyper-stylized and loaded with moments that seem meticulously crafted to shred your nerves, 30 Coins, which comes from creator Álex de la Iglesia, director of The Last Circus and Witching & bytching, isn’t messing around. Slow-burn, low-key horror is often great, but every once in a while, I get a craving for the type of horror 30 Coins is offering – bloody, silly, and oh so fun. And if you’re still not sold on this show after all of this, perhaps this will seal the deal: remember that baby? The one the cow gives birth to? What if I told you it mutates into a giant spider-baby-monster? What else is there to say?

Ive been slacking on my horror, letting a little backlog build up while I binge some other genres (I slept on Your Honor and I wanted to rewatch the first half of Vikings after the series finale). This joint is flying right to the top of the queue though.
