I am rewatching "Midsommar" after seeing it last night
There is no other movie that I have seen besides maybe "Meet the Feebles" that has disturbed me on such a level.
Grief? Check. Lyme disease/encephalitis undertones? Check. Psilocybin? Check. Daylight unease around strangers whilst on hallucinogenics? Check. Brutality? Check. Feelings of true uncomfortability and despair? Check. That movie is SOMETHING ELSE.
You can throw all the jump scares in the dark in the world at me. But nothing will disturb me more than an eternity of sunlit realities that you cannot run from. Bravo.

What did you think of it, ultimately?
Honestly it was just a weird movie. For the first hour i was intrigued to see what was going to happen first. It started kind of slow then just went all out.
But after the old people, it was anything goes and nothing was too surprising.
Also after Salo, 120 Days of Sodom, A Serbian Film, and hell random thoughts in my own head, most movies are just blah. Ive tried watching Gummo and didnt get anything that you said out of it. It seemed like a movie of just random sillyness. Not to put down your list, their just not for me. Im trying tho.
I think the last movie that made me feel or think anything was The Others or Fight Club. Oooh, Old Boy was a decent one. I ran into the English one a long while ago. I like plot twists. Blood guts gore violence has all been done. Give me something that throws me for a loop, something i didnt see coming.
Yeah bitches, im that short gentleman mentioned in that youtube video.
And the very nice, level headed guy from that other youtube video.

Absolutely one of my all time favorites since I saw it.
So, movie idea. It's Midsommar but it takes place at one of Kanye's Sunday Services. Basically Kanye is the inbred autistic kid that makes the art that people worship like gospel.

After seeing Hereditary last year I was super excited to see Midsommar. It was definitely disturbing and even had some genuinely funny moments. I hated some of the awkward dialogue but overall I thought it was awesome. The chick who plays Dani was amazing and her panic attacks legit made me uncomfortable. I also liked how the very first scene is like a cool fairy-tale panting showing all the upcoming craziness. And lets not forget the music. I just felt like Ari Aster held our hand a little to much. For example, I thought the whole "eat the pubes/drink the menstrual blood so he'll fall in love with me" thing was pretty intriguing, I just wish we could have figured it out on our own without them having to literally draw it out for us. But overall it was great.
Im feeling a decent to strong 8

That's what she said.
...
So I agree about the panic attack parts. Some of the worst moments in my own life have mirrored the come-up of psychedelics like were portrayed in "Midsommar". I am absolutely certain that the director (and perhaps the writers, cinematographers, etc) have experienced that unspeakably gut-wrenching world. I used to grow psilocybin mushrooms for about a decade. I used to eat them so much that I would even go about errands and forget that I ingested then at all. Sometimes it was fine and dandy. Oftentimes, really. But when you haven't tripped for a long time and you jump back into that ego-shattering realm once again, it can be overwhelming. When you experience that overwhelming shift in "the wrong place" (arguably... maybe it happens for a reason?) then the earthquake of despair that can happen is indescribable. Many of y'all know what I'm talking about.
I feel like the director experienced this in broad daylight just as many of us have. Where you cannot hide from anything. Your mind is an open book.
Once, I had the worst trip of my life. I've had some uneasy ones, but this was life-changing. I won't tell the entire story, but I ate 4 orange gel tabs of LSB and temporarily shut down due to losing my general mental functions. One guy at this huge party took ELEVEN hits. Long ass story short, for a period I COULD READ PEOPLE'S MINDS. I am not exaggerating this at all. And I am a skeptic man. I don't fully believe in ghosts and definitely not angels or the like. I am putting this simply: I could read everyone around me, their actual thoughts in an auditory clarity. I knew it was real because everyone had vastly different ways of thinking, different rhythms. And they were all also altered because most everyone was on the same acid. Some thought in reverberating, sluggish patterns. Some folks had pitches of thoughts that stretched out into different octaves and notes and were completely confused. Some people were trying to talk to me in their mind. They may not have even been aware that they were.
Anyway, I'm rambling. Add sudden cultural shock, recent trauma, and neverending sunlight to those kinds of experiences and you got yourself a recipe for unsettling madness. Well done, movie people.

I just watched the movie Stuber
and during the whole movie Stu the uber driver was wearing a fucking St Viateur Bagel T-shirt
I grew up across the street from St Viateur bagel they make the best bagels in the world
Turns out the director of the movie lives in Mile-End and that's where most of my family still lives
I gotta watch midsommar next but it seems like the type of movie that will fuck me up if I smoked some good weed before hand so I will try and watch it sober

I know enough about those movies that you mentioned to not ever want to watch em. I already know the world is unspeakable.
And I like "Midsommar" more for the presentation and it's overall disturbing vibe. It doesnt have to try and shock, despite being shocking at times.

I feel ya, i wasnt disagreeing. Just saying that i didnt get the same thing out of it.
Maybe its cause ive never tried shrooms? Maybe ya'll just dug deeper into the movie than i did?
I started watching 3 From Hell last night. Ended up falling asleep after about 45 mins.
Edit: while i have you i got a question. I have a buddy that lives near DC. Weed is legal in DC, he buys and smokes weed legally from DC. He has back problems and is looking towards pain killers. His Dr will not prescribe opioids because he has pot in his system. Thats not fair, right? How does it work in CO? Hes also a hunter and has guns. If he gets a medical marijuana card he gets issues with having guns. Is there a way around the opioid thing? Its legal weed, thet cant hold that against you can they?
Yeah bitches, im that short gentleman mentioned in that youtube video.

I think a big reason I (and probably you) vibe with it so strong is because we've both experienced trauma and the lasting effects it has on people from the extreme anxiety to the existential dread or feeling of impending doom. Feeling like something isn't right or something terrible is going to happen. Feeling like your struggles are a burden on everybody else and feeling completely isolated even in a crowd of people. Ari Aster is really really good at capturing that unsettling feeling even when nothing unsettling is happening. I specifically feel like these issues prevent me from fully enjoying a trip because I typically end up just staring at a wall fighting with my own thoughts.

I havent watched all of El Super Beasto, i started it one night and wasnt feeling it enough to finish it. Maybe ill try again this weekend.
31 was a great flick. The House of 1000 Corpses, Devils Rejects was good. Lords of Salem i didnt dig. The new Halloweens i did like. Maybe im just being partial to them knowing Zombie was part of them.
Doom Head returns in the new 3 From Hell. Not the same character, but the dude that plays him.

Agreed. When those unspeakable things happen, you've caught in a bind: do I discuss it or not? Every situation sucks. If you don't want to talk about it, then you are a million different kinds of asshole. Paradoxically, if you talk about it or even bring it up, then you are seeking attention and want everyone to feel sorry for you.
Nowadays fuck em all. If I feel that a certain bit of experience helps to make sense of another situation, like bringing up my brother's deaths, then people can roll their eyes all they want. It is an important part of who I am, although it doesnt DEFINE me. But to pretend that it has not affected me in super integral ways is to be a liar.
My friend who recommended "Hereditary" to me says that it is the scariest film he has ever seen. I disagree a lot despite some nice little unsettling spooks in there. But I love the film and anything that deals with grief and despair. I happen to think "Midsommar" is scarier whereas he liked it a lot but has issues with it. As some bonus mindfood, my friend is actually one of my late brother's best friends. Probably his best, despite them going separate paths in life. And my other brother used to bully my friend. Complexity at it's finest. I didnt know he did this, by the way.
So what am I doing today? I just cleaned the entire house as is my Friday routine when I get the day off. I've had chili cooking since 9 am and this time I am going to try it with fuckinf Kobe beef. Never had it before. Apparently it is the much cheaper USA version of the infamous Japanese cow meat. Smells bomb as fuck ... two weeks ago I made chili and put just two drops of my Hot Ones Last Dab sauce in there... my wife was PISSED! Said it burned her esophagus. It wasnt even that bad to me. But she still liked it and ate more. This time i will take it easy on her esophagus... get it hahahah
