I watched this one with my girlfriend and we both enjoyed it. A sweet, understated look at love, life and letting go, from an IR perspective.
X was surprisingly a really good movie. The characters for who they were are played to the tee! Especially Kid Cudi and Brittany Snow. Whom nailed their roles. Just wish it had a better title. lol.
CoSign 100% and the Academy Award for best director goes to . . . Ti West!!! Mia Goth should be a strong candidate for best leading actress given her convincing performance in "X". I am going to further support this much needed IR Horror film by purchasing the UHD 4K disc this month or next. We deserve elevated, nuanced IR fims like this financed without limitations or restrictions!! We must inve$t though rather than you know bootleg or jailbreak lol One good thing about the title "X" @darkcurry . . . you got two other movies on the APK search for the A24 production so it was nearly impossible to steal it until this month lol!!
I enjoyed the movie too, but we both know the Academy will never give those big awards to an indie horror flick like this. Also the ir was clearly good, but it could've been even better. They didn't show the third ir scene on camera (tbf it may have been a bit much if they had lol). And... Spoiler I always prefer wwbm happy endings. This wasn't that lol
Not so fast @qaz1 . . . this movie has the right credentials via A24 plus the critical acclaim from the most respected movie authorities. It would have its own lane against the commonplace competition once the Oscar voters take it home. We will have to see I say but don't count "X" out or sell it short.
I just found out in my attempt to purcha$e "X" on 4k Blu-ray UHD disc that it isn't avaiable until 5/24/2022 *sigh* but they did shoot the third IR scene with Jenna Ortega and reserved it as an extended scene exclusively for the 4k Blu-ray UHD disc. Smart money by Ti West & A24 right!?! I'm adding it to my 4k library next month because a movie shot so superbly doesn't come along for IR horror fans very often!
Well like you say, we'll have to wait and see. I'd like to see it, but it's a definite long shot. It would be a happy surprise
GOOD LUCK TO YOU, LEO GRANDE Trailer (2022) Emma Thompson, Daryl McCormack This looks actually better than I thought it would be. Just might see it. BTW She rehearsed her nude and sex scenes with her co-star off because this is her first nude and sex scene. Wow! lol. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/en...to-you-leo-grande_uk_61eea04fe4b0b7eb1cd7e20c
Cannot do it now (having dinner) but its on Collider.com as my google search to buy "X" led me there.
I tried searching Collider. All I found was mention of more footage for the Farmer's Daughter movie overall. Oh well. We'll see when it comes out I guess
If you were Ti West and you have already thought this production all the way through . . . and then some via the prequel to "X" being in post production already ("Pearl"). Wouldn't you have the director's cut and extended scenes pre-planned too? The most marketable extended scene from "The Farmer's Daughter" would have to be the truncated Jenna Ortega sex scene . . . what other option is there really? Just projecting the profitability of the IR teaser show ever so briefly of Kid Cudi & Jenna Ortega in "X"
I didn't really think about it that much. I guess I just assumed it's more of the "set up" action, like the piece they shot at the gas station or the intro to each daughter. Time will tell all, right lol?
I've admired Emma Thompson's work for a while, and like Helen Mirren, she can get it. Good Luck To You...will be available on Hulu the same day as release.
