Why would they need to convince anyone? They have zero responsibility to the bar. If a vegan eats a salad at a steakhouse do they need to memorize all the cuts of meat they serve?

Nothing lasts forever. Look at Philly.

Seems kind of early to be *that* high.

Lauren, you have my heartfelt thanks for this headline. Beautifully played.

Came for this, was not disappointed.

We’re still here :)

Shit, now we have to learn about cream of tartar now? What’s next, pickling salt? Baked baking soda? Crystal meth?

Revised opening:

Clicks, mostly. But we’ve also been brainwashed into the belief that cooking is hard and really just a hobby for grandmas, homeschoolers and other outcasts. If somebody does a relatively simple task like bake a pie it’s an Instagrammable event.

Why would somebody need to learn about the beer if they don’t drink, just to absolve them for not drinking? That makes no sense.

... post on social media that they went to a brewery and hope people assume they had a beer.

I’m with you on this. I think he believes he was joking. He treats the entire presidency like a joke. Kim is now an “honorable”, “worthy” leader (2 adjectives pulled from a Charlie Chan movie) who runs a Stalinist dictatorship, starves millions of people, and kills his relatives when they get in the way.

Is the father a doctor? I couldn’t tell that he had any sort of existence at all. But they’re both terrible parents, and that fits in with the realism of their (non-supernatural) family.

mother! is far more of a WTF film. And about 5% as effective.

With the advantage of having seen it, the sense of dread throughout Hereditary is consistent and almost palpable. YMMV.

OTOH, all the men are completely powerless and ineffectual. Everyone in the cast is fundamentally flawed (except for a few high school students).

I think the key to this is that, unfortunately, Annie and Steve are terrible parents. For instance, any reasonable person who finds themselves soaking their children in lighter fluid for any reason whatsoever should get help. The kids were failed repeatedly throughout the movie because the parents were too wrapped up…

Your post is a great explanation of how I felt about this movie. I felt like it was a family drama with a supernatural thread in it ... as the thread was pulled the family’s life fell apart. The emotional portrayals felt absolutely true (although the son would have played better as a college student) and Toni Collette…
