Could this really get a BP nomination next year? It would've seemed insane before but there maybe a chance now given how much all the critics love it.

Lmfao, people overpraising CITW.

 

Shut up and talk about Get Out. Pinche demonios.

[AniNate]

You shouldn't take the 100% Tomatometer to imply that this is an absolutely perfect movie. Its average rating is lower than the three big BP contenders from last year.

Who cares? It's still a massive achievement.

 

So far there isn't a RT critic who didn't like the film.

CITW is a good time, I really enjoyed it. This is so much better though.

I meant that in the context that some are coming away from this underwhelmed that it's not their favorite horror movie ever and using that as an indictment on the "accuracy" of RT.

This doesnt excite me, when a horror gets this much praise its usually shit, just look at 'it follows' and 'babadook' great reviews, nobody cares

Remind me to never trust your opinion on film again.

Just coming in late to say cabin in the woods is trash. Absolutely no point to it except to watch the filmmakers jerk themselves off.

I mean this will beat the combined total gross of both of those movies on OW.

[Jay Beezy]

Armond White's review still has not been posted.

That's totally fair. I completely disagree with that sentiment but I could say it towards a lot of movies that are praised here...

I thought It Follows had amazing atmosphere and was worth the hype until the ending. It doesn't hold up as well on rewatches for me though. 

I completely agree with you on The Babadook though. Was so excited for that one too.

Don't really care about the box office for horror movies. I only care if the film is good. Some of my favorite ones recently haven't even hit theaters. It feels like the ones that do have to give up the slow burn a lot in order to not bore today's ADD audience too.

Well, I don't hold CITW in such high regard, though I did enjoy it. So take my comments about it with a grain of salt, I guess. (In particular, I found GET OUT far more satisfying, ultimately, than CITW). I can't really get specific without going into spoilers, but the assumption you're making (which I don't think is true in this case), is that GET OUT has a particular political commentary that you have to take a side about (or have a side to already be on). The movie is actually much slyer than that -- it pokes barbs at a great many things, and they're not all of one political angle. That's why I objected to the word "politics" in the first place.

 

It delves into a lot of the same general territory as ROSEMARY'S BABY and STEPFORD WIVES, though they were looking at gender roles and expectations and this is more an examination of racial attitudes and feelings. I don't think it's as "clever" in terms of horror tropes as CITW, but it's not really trying to be, either. And again, for all its cleverness, CITW fell flat for me (in the end) and GET OUT. Of course, YMMV.

Rosemary's Baby, Stepford Wives, Guess Who's Coming To Dinner, Manchurian Candidate and Hot Fuzz were the ones I thought of most while watching Get Out.

CITW is one of my favs. Can't wait to see this one but I have to find it on a local theater.

The only reason why this a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes is because of Marvel Bucks

The point was to entertain, you know, the sole purpose of cinema?

well it wasn't funny or scary. but if you're entertained by folks jerking themselves off to how much they know about horror films that's none of my business.

That is not the sole purpose of cinema. Are you struggling with what art is?
