What kind of flicks? You mean good horror movie flicks?

I hope Aster moves to another genre

I hope he doesn't because he is clearly a master of directing horror. He'll be known alongside the greats in the future, no doubt about that. Midsommar was the best horror movie of the year, probably the last few years. I thought Hereditary was good, not great, but good. How is it sucking the life out of horror? How over dramatic you are. If anything it's returning life to the horror genre. At least they are original unlike remakes of Black Christmas, etc. which ARE sucking the life out of horror. And what's funny is, you haven't even seen it. But then I suppose, if you've already decided you are going to hate something, then yeah I would not bother to watch it.

I really should take a look at my collection and wonder am I that different from the norm.

No, you are not. It's the weakest decade for me. I own hardly any movies from this period but that doesn't mean I haven't enjoyed a few.

You know sfpx thinks it sucks too but I guess you don't like to pester him about it

Right because he doesn't keep banging on about it or try to find any excuse to have a dig at a particular movie. You didn't even vote therefore why do you even feel the need to make your opinion known. Sure, if you were discussing the merits of either movie, you might want to justify picking one over the other but no, you just see it as a chance to have a dig at the director, of whom you have seen ONE movie by. You know that is true so don't try to deny it. You just can't help yourself.

I think I made one comment one time about you complaining about the best character dying early, and I pointed out it was necessary to the plot as others did. I would not call that stalking. Paranoia is creeping in there I think? And I don't love the movie at all, I merely like it.

Is that out of your comfort zone?

No, I don't just enjoy "arty farty" movies but I admit I am not really into trashy movies either.

If you ever plan to write or direct movies (I know you do have that desire)

I think you are confusing me with someone else there.

If you just merely liked it, you are passionate about defending.

No it is a bigger issue than just Hereditary. Whether it is Jaws, Halloween '78 or some acclaimed modern movie like the aforementioned, you simply cannot refrain from having constant digs at certain movies or pointing out to everyone how much you detest something when we already know your opinion on most of these movies. There are no newbies who need to know. One reason Nicko left was for a similar reason, so it's not just me who notices. Maybe the others, especially Box, just put up with it. You're right, maybe I need to adopt a "whatever" attitude.

So yes, of course you are entitled to your opinion. As you say this is a discussion board but the thing is, you seem to like to repeat your opinion time and time again.

Btw Aster made 2 movies so far so pretty bold statement that he is going to become a great.

Two movies that show huge potential yes. And I am not the only one to hold this opinion. Crictics do too but of course we all know how they are always wrong and most of the "great" horror movies are not even that great.. as you often like to remind us.

Nope, again, you are misunderstanding me. It's not the fact you are voicing your opinion but how many times you feel the need to voice the same opinion, looking for any excuse to.

We'll leave it at that and stop, as you say, derailing the voting thread.

Midsommar
