Obvious indeed.

Spoilers ahead btw

A lot of the movie can easily be called plagiarism, but I think there's a severe degree of homage in the movie meant to show the kinds of things that would influence a character like that given that he refuses to interact with anything unless he's forced to. The protagonist is as if you never touched your controller in a videogame and got all of the essential narrative sequences that make more sense when you fully play the game, and with his reclusive nature I think they're saying he's understanding the world through the lens of media far more than he realizes, hence the heavy degree of reference. There are parts directly taken from Synecdoche, New York, It's Such a Beautiful Day, Mulholland Drive, and I'm Thinking of Ending Things from what I noticed, and parts of Antkind (which I'm still working on).

I prefer Midsommar to Hereditary btw and thinking more about it, Scaring the Beaus is probably his best. Hereditary drives at his most powerful messaging, but his other films are just some pure ass cinema that I can't help loving.

I might catch Evil Dead tonight. Not even that crazy about the series, but the new one looks like a blast.

There were interesting videogamey aspects similar to parts I really liked in Barbarian, and the narrative is a ****ing rollercoaster ride of wild decisions and approaches. I'll need another watch to see if it's Ari Aster's best, but it's certainly his most ambitious in a way that really pays off. Also one of the best and most disorienting opening scenes I've ever seen, especially good in theaters.
This is good to see. I've been planning to see it.

Enjoyed “How to Blow Up a Pipeline”. Very fast, kinetic pacing with a cool narrative structure. There are some ridiculously tense scenes where characters are making/moving bombs that were particularly awesome. Good cast that executes the solid script well, and the eco “terrorists” have well defined motivations. Big recommend

Saw Beau is Afraid again. God I love it. There are several interpretations of what is even happening and all of them are interesting to consider. There are still a couple things that I’m not sure how to analyze:

Spoiler for “Beau is Afraid”:
What was up with the guy in Beau’s apartment who falls into the bathtub? Who was he? Why was he there? Why did he look so scared of Beau? One interpretation is that Beau actually killed the tattoo guy who was dialing 911 and so bathroom guy was afraid of Beau. If that interpretation seems wack I don’t know how else to view that scene

The man at the play who says he knew Beau’s father. What the heck?

“Stop incriminating yourself”. On second viewing I noticed a lot more regarding the suburban couple that ‘adopts’ Beau. They were working for Mona I believe. There’s a brief moment where he hear Grace on the phone and she says something about “that wasn’t part of the deal” and then right after that is when Grace seems to try and help Beau out and tells him about the TV channel.

Speaking of the TV channel, my best guess is that it’s suggesting how everything Beau does, has done, and is going to do is all planned out ahead of time by his mother. Seems like a sound conclusion. Interesting concept, you could make a whole movie out of just that creepy TV channel

To what extent was the sex encounter with Elaine planned by his mother? Elaine said she doesn’t work for Mona anymore. But like, all of that sequence was weird to me. The final ~45 minutes of the movie is the only part I don’t absolutely adore unfortunately

Polite Society: absolutely awesome. Reminded me a lot of Scott Pilgrim but honestly kind of better? Good performances, hilarious script, fun plot structure and pacing. 4/5

Sisu: a pile of garbage. What movie are people watching that is leading to this getting good scores? This is the most boring version of "some villainous people ****ed with the wrong guy" movie that I've ever seen. People say that John Wick fans will love it. Why? John Wick actually does **** and beats people up. Almost every "cool" thing Sisu guy does is off screen. The movie is gray, bland, lifeless, and boring. 1/5

Bacurau

Hell. Yes.

Fantastic film. Tarantino fiends would love this. Slow start with such a wonderful tone shift midway through. Doesn't hold your hand. Don't touch my f*cking hand. Gah, so good.

Dope hardboiled cop/yakuza movie. There is a scene some guys might wince at, some unlucky guy had pearls in his shaft "surgically removed".
