Just saw Get Out

While the movie genre was intentionally done as a "thriller" to draw in the audience, the real theme is the satire of today's sociological hypocrisy and race in America. 

Personally, I think horror movies are useless, unless we go old school (The Birds, Psycho, the original Frankenstein and others). But I'll probably watch this to see how Peele takes on race and culture amidst the horror theme.

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

 Nope. But not the same reason. As a kid they'd scare me but I liked them but I've since grown out of them. Every horror movie I've seen since being a young lad has been horrible, silly and just stupid and a massive waste of my time. Just have no interest at all in the genre. Now of course they are different than thriller type of movies with real plots, I do like those. Just not the "horror" or "scary" movie genres.

My issue with a lot of the modern movies is I think a load of the people making them don't know what the word "suspense" means.

A load of fake blood & guts and/or people getting tortured is not scary. Unpleasant for certain, but being truly scary requires suspense.

just saw a video on Facebook by a page called Cycle (they do cool clips about movies). In this video they stated cool facts about the movie i.e. it made 100 mil on a 4.5 mil budget. Anyway, it said Peele got influences from Eddie murphies delirious and Rosemary's Baby. So, the sequel thing is an interesting take on this movie. It pays homage to Rosemary's Baby but carefuly makes you think it could be a sequel. Very good eye, sir.

A studios dream scenario is nothing but Blair Witch type movies that cost peanuts make 100 million. Seems Blumenthal studio has a good formula going.

For sure. The Purge was very similar. 1 mil budget and made a poo ton just on opening weekend alone.

It seems they want to be like New Line was many years ago and just own thst niche.  Horror films have always been highly profitable.

This was very Twilight Zone. That said, the Twilight Zone showed us what we don't want to see. 

Africans Americans have been hypnotized by progressive/ liberals promises for a hundred plus years, for votes. 

51 years( which is sad all on its own) but had to build a base.

I saw it last week.  Dumbest movie I have seen in a while.  I kept waiting and waiting for something to happen and when it did it was as if the writing was being done by 10 year olds.  Awful movie.  Take away the black dimension and it wouldnt have made it to any movie theatres.

There's a TON of stuff going on in this movie that people aren't really mentioning.   A lot of parallel's to African American life in America.   I didn't pick up on most of it but after I watched it this weekend I did a bit of research and it's pretty neat.   I think the movie was OK, I probably won't ever watch it again and I don't think it's as good as some, but it was an entertaining movie with some smart themes/hidden meanings.   Pretty crazy for the budget though.  

The main actor was great in a Black Mirror episode as well, check out that show.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
