Avatree Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Can't wait for this one from A24: Plot[edit] Daniel (Timothée Chalamet) comes of age, while spending the summer in Cape Cod. Timothée Chalamet as Daniel Middleton Maika Monroe as McKayla Strawberry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Using multis as a tool to convince yourself a movie is a hit with tepid numbers is a cool mindtrick. But a mindtrick nonetheless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 yeah it didn't even make $600 million, which as we all know is the bar for a hit these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 The funny thing is movies are able to make 600m these days thanks to ticket price inflation. Consequently, It means those A24 movies & their ilk are actually seen by even less people than ever before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 yeah and clearly it's just the same group of hipsters seeing it again and again since everyone else hated it so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Gittes Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 And of course no one's ever gonna see it after it's done playing in theaters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say that's a success. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Pretty funny how futurist's probably written before he even saw it criticisms don't even really apply to this but do apply to mother! A movie half as many hipsters saw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I have finally seen A Quiet Place. John Krasinski & its producer Michael Bay are good people, they love & trust their audiences. The Hereditary director masturbates for two hours to satisfy critics and cinephiles for very little cum. Circle of Life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Gittes Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) As an audience member I've never felt such trust as when A Quiet Place rolled out that giant fucking white billboard with the plot's million-dollar question written on it in the climax, just so even the dumbest 4-year-old would get it.

I was in the toilet and when I came back Emily Blunt was being hunted and giving birth. Did she step on the nail by any chance is that what got the aliens to find her?

The Futurist Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) The best & most beautiful ideas are often the simplest. Hereditary director wish he had the lightbulb moment of John Krasinski for A Quiet Place. And John Krasinski wish he had a seconde one just as good for his next film.

That One Girl Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I can settle this debate. Hereditary is excellent. A Quiet Place is very good. Unsane is better than A Quiet Place. Paddington 2 is better than all of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) I actually liked a lot of things in Hereditary but the director s choices in A24 movies (the horror type ones) to alienate the Joes & Janes of the world are just way too obvious to be genuine and sincere. They try so hard to be "different". Hereditary misses to achieve true greatness because of that typical mindset. The Witch had the exact same issue. Those two movies are really twins in many mnay ways. It Comes At Night was just hot trash. Edited June 21, 2018 by The Futurist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyGossamer Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 By the way, this one continues to hold better than expected and seem on pace for $40M+. Hope Aster gets everything he needs from A24 for his next horror feature which I believe the studio is backing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolioD1 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Not really when hereditary goes full horror it becomes pretty standard but go off I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Futurist Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) Funnily enough, I almost posted the other day that the only A24 horror movie that I liked lot was It Follows. Which is not from A24. Proof they have a Feige reading the scripts. And a Formula. Edited June 21, 2018 by The Futurist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay it's not full of jump scares so what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
