I've heard nothing but great things about that movie. Good start for Jordan Peele as a director.  

I want to see it but don't do scary movies much and never in a theater. I'll check it out at home, with the lights on, one eye covered, and bundled up in a Snuggie. 

So I'm not the only one who hates scary movies!

Great film. I'd consider it situational horror. It's great because at first, what do you do because it's your girls parents...what can you say. It was a wonderful take on the awkwardness and somewhat unnerving feeling of meeting a significant others parents for the first time. The film Eraserhead did an excellent job in one of its scenes in that movie. 

I did get a Rosemary baby vibe in, due to the nature of behavior from the other family members that come over mid way through the film. During the Bingo scene, it made me feel like the scene near the end of Rosemary's baby when the bad guys chant hail satan.

For his first film, it was excellent. I look forward to more of his work.

just a heads up non-spoiler review. I saw it with a bunch of guy friends and we all openly admitted that we don't like scary movies before hand and we all liked it but I understand if you want to wait. It's not absolutely necessary to see in theaters.

I noticed the following about Rosemary's Baby connections... 

 

The main female character's name is Rose. Short for Rosemary? 

The grandfather of the family who invented the procedure was named Roman. Roman was the name of the antagonist in Rosemary's Baby. The elder leader of the cult. 

The Roman in Get Out and the Roman in Rosemary's Baby look a whole lot alike. I thought it was the same actor but can't be. 

Chris lived in a cool new york apartment. So did Rosemary. 

Each movie contained weird sort of psychedelic cut scenes when falling under the spell of the antagonists. 

Retro furniture and televisions from the 1960s throughout the film, even in Chris apartment. 

Lamps in the weird room with the television were spheres that resembles the cult necklaces in Rosemary's Baby.

Well done! I didn't even think of those examples. Do you think it was more of shout out to the movie rather than a sequel? Wouldn't it have to have the same cult from Rosemary's baby to be a sequel? Unless the cult somehow evolved to what it is in Get Out. This movie just got better if they are related in some way.

Now that I think about it, the opening credits song and ending credits song had some sort of chanting in it, could it some sort of chant related to the cult?

Yep, the music too. Forgot to mention that. Very weird. 

I don't think it has be a literal sequel, could be more like fan fiction by Peele to play with the premise and make it vaguely a sequel without saying so. No studio permission for that. Either way, there are way too many similarities for it to be coincidence.

The director of Rosemary's Baby was also named Roman (Polanski).

Does sound like they pulled from that as a source. From what I've read, the ultimate plot almost sounds closer to The Skeleton Key (very creepy movie from a few years ago) or another lesser movie I saw some time back whose name escapes me (I'll have to look it up).

I watch horror movies alone at 3am with all the lights off.

You and I are gonna have a scary movie marathon someday.

      Surprise! Wait… Surprise Again! Kon Looks Really Good!

      By t96 · Posted

      Ehh, new front office has 2 drafts under their belt -- Salaun draft class was really a horrible class in general, but Salaun has started to show some of his potential and KJ Simpson not bad for a 2nd round pick. This past draft clearly looks like it was knocked out of the fuging park obviously with Kon but also Sion and Kalk already contributing in somewhat big roles for late round picks. And McNeeley has shown potential and lit it up in summer league, seems to be doing well in the G league for a young guy too.      As for this season I think a very realistic goal and outcome of the regular season is sneaking up into a 7 or 8 seed and then winning 1 of 2 play-in games to make the real playoffs. Probably get cooked in round 1 but that playoff experience and establishing that expectation of winning is critical to the development of our young core.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
