Official thread about the movie you just saw

I've heard from sauces that get out is legit awesome
 
Get Out seems to be pissing off a certain segment of white folks. The type of folks that are "tired of everything being about race #MAGA".
 
Same here. I was thinking about my first reaction to the trailer. I assumed it was akin to Scary Movie.
 
Funny Games, the 2008 unecessary shot for shot remake of the 98 original, by the same director, Hanneke, is just garbage.
 
Saw Get Out Thursday night. It's really good. The idea/concept behind it and the lingering discussion points it will bring up are refreshing to see in a mainstream movie. It's about time we had a movie about race that wasn't a historic movie, and one that can't be defined as a "black movie" or a "white movie." As for the horror elements, most of them work, and Peele's horror knowledge is obviously high. I like that it makes allusions to past movies without trying to copy those movies. It takes conceits from stuff like Rosemary's Baby and Invasion of the Body Snatchers and makes them new. For a directorial debut, it's damn good.

Watched Sicario the other day since that woman I hooked it with produced that, too, and I wanted to feel simpatico to Rubbins' Sicario lifestyle since we are hermanos locos de la playa, and it was pretty good. I think I'm a big Josh Brolin fan. And Benicio. Emily Blunt seems a little miscast, but thin pasty women can be powerful characters, too, which is a good message for the kids and our future.
 
The Accountant was entertaining, but the plot was bloated and muddled. I'd take a Bourne or Shooter or James Bond over it any day.

Hacksaw Ridge was good. Very bloody, but I guess that's what Mel Gibson does.

Desmond Doss is from Lynchburg, VA, which is where my wife grew up and she is now mad they didn't teach about him in school. She just knew him from a highway named for him and that he was a WWII hero.

Which body snatchers?

The masterpiece in the 50s or the nasty one from the 70s?
