Super Sweet Movie Discussion Thread

Agreed. Particularly insightful hearing tech exec comments at the end in re: personal use by their families. I was never on FB and this helped reinforce that decision but it also made me rethink the other socials I am on...maybe I can do without them as well? . Does that make me a luddite?! 🤔

The biggest/most impactful statement was from the dude with the dreads. I’ll paraphrase

“They’re not paying for a product; they’re paying trillions of dollars to change the way you thing and act imperceptibly to you, even 1%.”
 
On vacation and its Spooktober right now so diving into the horror movie genre. Started off with The Ritual, and I'm gonna have to give it a hard pass. It tries to emulate movies like The Wickerman (the original), Midsommar (and other Folk Horror) as well as a little bit of The Blair Witch Project.

While at the same time missing what makes those movies actually enjoyable. The acting is pretty flat throughout I feel especially with the lead (Jack? Jake? I've already forgotten and I literally just watched the damn thing.) and you get a buildup throughout the movie asking will they make it out? Will they survive? With zero payoff in the end. I'm cool with cliffhangers but there needs to be an obvious build to a sequel, this just pulled a Soprano and cut to black.

4/10 and as the French say, des ordures.

the monster was cool tho
