Brian Merchant on X: "Pleased to have done my part to usher in the "Is Her Really a Dystopia?" discourse — really interesting thoughts and conversations, feels like a slice of Old Twitter. Gonna rewatch the film fresh and return with some thoughts that in no way confirm my previously stated biases" / X

seosamh 🇵🇸 on X: "my hot take is that this isn't a sad ending. the film makes it clear oliver was bad for elio by revealing that oliver is closeted and getting married. the tragedy is not that they 'broke up', it is the necessary pain of first heartbreak and thus self discovery" / X

I think what makes Ari Aster horror so brilliant is that it uses traditional horror motifs like demons and cults to do the opposite of what traditional horror does. Instead of making the story scarier, it gives the story some kind of psychological relief by saying “dw it’s just… https://t.co/kUDswSVew0— Sherry (@SchrodingrsBrat) November 9, 2023

But while all of the performances were strong, if you look proportionally, each of the Osage characters felt painfully underwritten, while the white men were given way more courtesy and depth.— Devery Jacobs (@kdeveryjacobs) October 23, 2023

Killers of the Flower Moon is a great film; it affirms more explicitly than ever that Scorsese has always been telling the story of America, the most vile gangster nation on Earth— and that he understands who still controls the narrative.

KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON (2023). I feel like late stage Scorsese -- perhaps from WOLF OF WALL STREET onward -- is carving out this new genre: the true-ish fever dream lyrical essay about America. Pictures that feel like full literate novels, all grace notes & soul sickness.

Killers of the flower moon review:1. beautiful movie.2. not an indigenous movie at all, rather a early 1900ʻs period piece where the osage people are the setting. both a positive and negative.3. To me a powerful exercise in humanizing even the most detestable of villains.— Rosehill (@Kailikapu) October 23, 2023

The sniffy reviews of Wes Anderson's films—even raves are often filled with despites, nonethelesses, and this-one-is-differents—reminds me of the numbing hegemony of dramatic realism and character psychology, from which Godard, too, endured brickbats and yes-buts all career long.— Richard Brody (@tnyfrontrow) June 25, 2023

POPEYE (1980). Robert Altman's infamous career-ruining bomb that was also the 11th highest grossing film of 1980, outpacing RAGING BULL, CADDYSHACK, AMERICAN GIGOLO, THE SHINING, & the first FRIDAY THE 13TH. A few of thoughts. First off: the picture absolutely rules. pic.twitter.com/I9a59yf2CN— Tony Tost (@tonytost) June 24, 2023

In imperial times it was imperative for any noble-born to further their ties to the king and wish for their ward to somehow make it to the throne. Alicent was pushed to a political marriage. She picked herself up to further her claim. A well written "antagonist". I root for her.— Sannidhya Das (@SannidhyaDas) September 27, 2022
