I didn't catch it on the first viewing, but SPOILERS














If you look at the closing shots of It Follows you can see that they're still being followed. They're wearing matching outfits, and seem resigned to their fate. The clamshell-smartphone-girl's final narration reinforces this.

It's like any debilitating mental scar. You can't get rid of it, but you can learn to live with it.

I would say the best part of True Detective season 2 was that it totally and completely proved Rust Cohle's assertion that hope is foolish.

Right, but my point about Michael Bay was those people's opinions are worth squat.

Exactly. The best example is Citizen Kane. Yeah, it was revolutionary, I understand its importance, and it's undoubtedly a triumph, but good god will I never just sit down and watch it.

I think it was an intentional throwback to the heyday of slasher films. It's got a sort of nebulous twilight-of-suburban—adolescence thing going on.

I didn't get the impression that it wasn't real. I mean, it (The Babadook) is a manifestation of her resentment toward her son. Which is almost sort of worse.

Look, it's fine that you don't like it. Your reasons are fine. But a lot of people did like it, found it effective, and can back up why. It's a relatively small film, not some massive Michael Bay blockbuster that dumb people like "'cause 'splosions and titties", so it's not as if people liked it purely as a spectacle.

I think both movies succeed because they're about something, unlike a lot of horror sequels or recent found-footage movies. It's problem-as-monster, which is what Buffy did on television to much success.

There is a difference between "I don't like it" and "It's bad".

Yeah, I don't think any Romans were settling down to be day laborers in a tiny crappy town.

And that guy from Top Gear does his job by punching people in the face. What's wrong with that?

The difference is they used up all the ideas and references.

The stormtrooper thing is especially baffling. They all wear masks. For all we know, every single stormtrooper in the original trilogy could be black.

If you take NyQuil and DayQuil at the same time, you unlock a door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension. A dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into… the Twilight Zone.

I… don't think he's hurting for money.

Seriously dude, a lot of cocaine.

"This is a complete and total, you know, sausage festival."
"I love sausage festival!"
"What?"
"Like in Vienna."
"No. No, Toki, that was a sausage festival."
"Yeah, that was good."
