I will admit that the start of midsommar was insane. Gave me chills only to then go downhill just like 90% of all horror movies.

Looks absolutely amazing! Both Midsommar and Hereditary I absolutely loved. I'll jump into anything this guy puts out.

I felt like watching the directors cut is the way to do it, just gives the movie A LOT of room to breathe.

It looks a bit too fantasy\silly for my taste but the director deserve the benefit of the doubt.

You said it yourself.
Masterpieces are beyond all else from start to finish. Those don't come every week. I know this is my way of viewing it but even if 80% is awesome I'm fine.
With that said. Even If the execution of certain parts, mostly endings, fall short; if the thematic intention stays intact I'm pleased.
Take Blomberg. Elysium and Chappie. Not that great. But the design in Chappie and Elysium did a ton for me. Also the thematic visionary of Elysium of a place for the Elite which when you're into alternative "conspiracy" stuff isn't that far fetched. THAT'S what was so awesome. Could care less about the on the nose metaphorical aspect..
Lmao..Sorry for the rant

Go out and find some sad flower cunt to fuck if you like that turd so much
Yeah the beginning with the whole suicide\omicide was by far the best part of the movie (and some good gore here and there)

Sure you do, you just don't remember your nightmares, but they get stored and come out all at once when you are a bit older

Can't wait. Now to get black-out drunk so as to completely forget that I even watched the trailer.

Shocking sure.
Because....
Seems like it. My dad's turning 70 and 99.5% of the time doesn't remember dreaming. Meanwhile i was born with night terrors that turned into nightmares that turned into moderate nightmare/space dreams. Multiple pee (lol) PER night. Like watching whole seasons of some show during the night. Gives me those sexy black eyes

I had a regular dream schedule when i was younger, and sometimes even those nightmares where you can't move.
But since i started killing my brain cells with ganja, i barely remember a dream every 6 months and it is always the same dream.

About 30 minutes of extra footage, it's how I saw it. Would recommend but you can check out if the extra footage is worth a watch.

Im just jesting ofc. I did not find it scary, but it was creepy as hell.

Midsommar was better than hereditary imo. The comedy was brilliant. Can’t wait for this

You find hilarity in violence? Just asking. Many do.

I mean I have a dark sense of humor, but much of the film once they get to the cult veers into absurd comedy. I’ve often felt that if you’re missing the comedy in Midsommar, you’re kinda missing a big part of the film. The opening is closer to straight horror, similar to hereditary - but then it goes into this hilarious shroom trip/break up movie, mixed in with horror and violence - Christian sleeping with that girl while all the naked women are chanting and pushing him into her was hysterical

Interesting!
The cult aspect was a great part inducing a sense of dread especially because it involved psycho active substances (a staple in pagan rituals if I can paint with a wide brush) that only enhanced the cults dissociation with the unknowing visitors.
All the manipulation enhanced with the mushrooms resulted in their ritual being carried out and when done was followed up with the ritual sacrifices; impregnating, chosing another "mother" (it's been a whike)
(Burning scene)
Funny how we see the same differently!

Don’t get me wrong it’s dark and great at tonally sort of riding the balance between horror and dark comedy - I could totally see not finding any of it funny - like I found the end hilarious too with Christian sewed up in a bear and the guys being like “take this for the pain”and it not working at all - Dani with an absurd amount of flowers on her dress trying to move. I think it’s just a super fine line where it can be all thought of as totally horrific, but there’s this element of subtle comedy in the way it’s executed which elevated the film for me.Interesting!

But yea! Sign of a good film imo if you can talk about it like this and have these different interpretations

Was hoping for more of a horror vibe, this looks too silly for me.
But I friggin loved Midsommar and Hereditary so I will give this a shot and hope to be amazed again.

I have chronic insomnia and only sleep 4-5 hours per night, but i guess you can consider that small amount deep sleep or i would not be able to function.

Midsommar was hilarious for all the wrong reasons, yeah.

I think Ari Aster rides a fine line between horror and comedy. Like with the mom in Hereditary swimming across the walls. A part of me wanted to laugh, but in the context, I still found it scary by putting myself in the son's shoes. And that scene you mention in Midsommar was horrifying to me but I can see why someone would react with laughter.
I'd really like to hear from him directly if it's an intentional balancing act that he's doing because I think there's something to it that makes his movies really effective

Funny. The wall creeping mother was the one thing that I disliked.
It's obviously stems from "demons" crawling up walls or taking residence in top corners. The execution is to blame and i can go into detail but it coincides more or less with the deaths in Midsommar.
It's to fast, blatant and in your face. That could and apparently indeed does invoke a WTF laugh out loud moment.
It's to over the top and totally disconnects the subtle dread. Shame.

I'm sorry to hear. You dont wake up regularly during those hours I presume (3 x of more)

No, if i start the sleep phase i don't get up until i have to pii or poo in the early morning, and after that, there is no more sleep.
Some people wake up 3-4 times to pii and then return to sleep like zombies.

It worked on me! Helped that it took me a second to notice her, so I was already off-guard, then she does something even more other-worldly right after.
Then again, I'm a big 'fraidy cat, so I can see why it doesn't work on everyone

Ari Aster for me is like Tarantino, Scorsese, Aronofsky & Eggers where no matter what they put out I gotta watch day one.
And yes Midsommar was a pretentious piece of shit

I'm a scared puss myself and yeah initially it was indeed unsettling but there was something about the movement that didn't seem quite right. Like floating instead of crawling. Again it's been a a while. And i tend to focus on details other perhaps don't take issue with.

Why pretentious..maybe I don't understand the meaning in this context. I've heard this word regarding criticism this film a lot so..
Edit - bro fist at your initial paragraph
