Midsommar and sleep lost me in their last half hour. Us lost me in the middle.

This was the year of the overly long horror film where none of them really worked for me fully. I did love those 1st 2 hours of sleep though
Nah, your attention span is gahhhbage, don’t blame the movie

Midsommar’s runtime was rather lengthy, or it seemed long as some parts were boring as hell, but I didn’t even realize Sleep was close to 3 hours. Movie flowed extremely well.
They could have cut certain scenes in Midsommar, agreed, especially that scene where she was high and passed out, started hallucinating in the trees, that was extra. Dr. Sleep was close to 3 hrs :ohhh:- I didn’t notice that either, it was that interesting. I know my attention span is shyt so for me not to notice how long it was, that’s crazy lol.

I’ll add you to the list-just stay on topic. Don’t come up here talking just to talk, argue or call out people if you don’t have a valid opinion or feedback - we stick to the film discussions - none of that extra shyt brought over from the sports forum or tlr. No derailing .

Sigh. Your argument was kraven never intended it. He did. He said he did. It’s on record. He then soft peddled it in the movies because of real shyt happening in the world.

Now if you took the angle that it never showed up in the movies blatantly I’d say yeah you’re right. And then it goes back to artist intent vs audience interpretation and whether the artist intent means anything at that point. And I’d concede that point. But to say it’s just not true is, false :jawalrus:


Also if you’re going to talk horror with us you gotta turn the all caps off man :russ: makes it easier to talk to someone if you feel like they’re not yelling at you.

Yeah @Sccit you need to lower case them shyts in the horror room. That’s the most distracting way to type ever - lower case

And my point was he clearly is and was smart enough to still allude to stuff. Craven wasn’t a guy to let censorship or people’s scruples scare him away. Also Freddy isn’t likable to me lol. Not the way Craven made him anyway. That came later with other directors and writers who didn’t know any better. That’s why he did new nightmare to bring him back to the essence. That was part of the point for that movie. He never intended or wanted Freddy to be likable.

WES WAS INVOLVED IN DREAM WARRIORS AND THATS ACTUALLY THE MOVIE THAT MADE HIM LIKEABLE

BUT ANYWAYS, I DISAGREE. LETS JUST LEAVE IT AT THAT. MY OPINION WAS THAT WES WAS SMART ENOUGH TO REALIZE PEOPLE WOULDNT REALLY FUX WIT A MOVIE ABOUT A PEDOPHILE AND IMO THATS A BIG PART OF WHY HE SWITCHED IT UP.

IM FAMILIAR WIT UR POSTING STYLE N UNDERSTAND THIS DEBATE CAN LAST FOR 3 MORE PAGES, SO NO NEED TO REHASH WHAT WE ALREADY WENT OVER.

Wes' initial script made him unlikable. He got rewritten homie. That's my point. Wes always wanted to make him tougher and the powers that be wanted to soften him up. Just saying:yeshrug:

But cool.Truce it is
