I mean.. that title is trash to the point I thought it was a parody of a Jordan Peele movie.
I just knew it was a Dorito’s commercial.

LMAO
The horse pulls up to the cloud, the rider pulls out a bag of Dorito's to calmly ride out the storm, before some narrator delivers some variation of the god-awful "chew it over with a twix" tagline.

7. "is there a lot of hate/backlash for this?" In response to Reply # 6
I want to see it but I think the title is cheesy as hell.
also, I guess this will sound like hating but I’m starting to get a M.Night Shamalamalan vibe from his work.
Is that hating? not sure.. lol

Ultimately saying “bad title” without ANY context is like people saying something about an album when the track listing comes out. Who knows what the title means yet. On its face, Get Out is a generic ass title too. *shrug*

>Ultimately saying “bad title” without ANY context is like >people saying something about an album when the track listing >comes out.
You think poking fun at the title is the same as saying something about the content within the movie itself?
Because those are two completely different things, and nobody is making fun of the movie itself. Because nobody has seen it. We're just having fun with the title and trailer.
It's not "hate" or "backlash" to joke at the title, or even the trailer.
>Who knows what the title means yet. On its face, >Get Out is a generic ass title too. *shrug*
Nobody in here is doing anything other than having a small amount of fun at the title and a trailer that's extremely sparse on the details.
I don't see an ounce of hate or backlash there.
It's just good natured joking around about a movie title and trailer.

At least until you got a firm counterpoint in response.
Then, suddenly, you have an about face and don't want to "argue".
Were that really the case, you never would have said anything to begin with.
We can discusss and still disagree, without it becoming an argument.
It's ok to bow out too, but don't pretend that you just don't have interest, because you did, until you came across a firm, reasonable counterpoint, and you're suddenly above it all.
People are just having fun. I don't see what, objectively, the actual issue is here.

begun, I think is a reference to the old joke about why Black People don't work for horror movies because as soon as black people saw some spooky shit in a horror movie, they would be like "Nope, I'm out".

43. "Yeah I pretty much agree with this. It wasn't that good." In response to Reply # 42
And for the record, I also didn't think US was all that good either and that Peele is still riding off Get Out.
And really I'm not sure about Daniel Kaluuya as an actor. Has he played anything except an introverted somewhat stoic character?
The monkey stuff was definitely the most interesting part of the movie. And I would have really liked to see that SNL skit. I also thought that the cinematographer character didn't make sense, he was just convenient to the plot. Shit, even the dude Angel's involvement was a head scratcher.

52. "About Gordy…" In response to Reply # 50 Mon Jul-25-22 03:05 PM by Ryan M
It seemed to be mostly commentary on not respecting animals. Like Jupe thinks he has a connection, but also didn’t respect what was said elsewhere in the film - you’re not controlling the animal, you have an “agreement”. As a kid, he was a fellow actor with the monkey. But now he’s, essentially the “director” and didn’t REALLY understand what their agreemen was.
Jupe's "show" was new to an audience - but he'd been working at it for 6 months (which is when the Keith David character was killed) - and was how long the non-moving cloud was in the sky.
He'd been buying horses and sacrificing them to the monster, while "training" it for a show without a crowd. That's what the Daniel Kaluuya character was seeing in the distance (the lights and music) that the horses would run toward. Which is also why Jupe was cagey when pressed for a plan to buy the horses back ("yeaah....").
So this was the first time with an audience - he was passing out the flyers that it was a 'new' family show, and why the actress who was mauled by Gordy was there. It was essentially the premiere. And he didn't factor in that there were all these people there and that variable is mirrored by the first scene on set where the horse kicks up and acts violent on stage for the commercial. The people attending the show (or just on set doing their jobs) don't have that agreement with the animal - and so it just went nuts and attacked them.
As for why he thought he could control it - I think that's the point to all the monkey backstory. Now, did the monkey ACTUALLY have a connection with him? We don't know. Could have been that the bedsheet was actually shielding his eyes from him. But still - Jupe was misguided, clearly.

61. "finally saw this (streaming on Paramount Plus if you wanna peep)..." In response to Reply # 0 Thu Jan-12-23 10:41 AM by PROMO
i liked it a lot.
there was definitely things i didn't like though.
seems like this is a pretty polarizing movie as far as people seem to love it or hate it.
gonna watch it again since the wife wants to watch it i'll see how i feel after round 2.
off first impressions i AM surprised to see how many people have this very high on their 2022 top movies lists. it's good (to me) but not sure it's like, "top movies of the year" good.
