Thiiiiis. I have come to understand that I just don't like his movies.
Yes. Lucky for you, people may be in danger.

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

ION, I saw Midsommar this week, and DAMN. I loved it. I loved everything about it. I need to see it again. I went to see it with my friend Jen, and our flailing conversations afterward especially centered around "If I had to choose to ritually sacrifice a terrible ex-boyfriend to join a community that was supportive and had a culture of communal sharing of hard emotions, I just might do it."
Which may not be the intended theme of the movie, but whatever.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Atropa, you may like this thoughtful review of Midsommar by Alison Wilmore at Buzzfeed: [link]
I thought it shared a lot of DNA with Robert Egger's The Witch from a few years back. They both posit that for these women, certain ecstatic surrender of self to another form of existence, however out of norm, is preferable to the their current lives riddled with heartbreak and oppression and lovelessness. So what if that new existence involves occasional baby-mashing or ritual sacrifice? You at least belong in that community of like-minded sisters, willing to support you.
I also ran across this Tumblr post about the two films, which had me nodding my head in agreement quite a bit: [link]

Midsommar does share a lot of DNA with The Witch (another movie I love!), and your whitefont is exactly what my friend and I were flailing about.

Very late,but for many years I had Logan's Run mixed up with Cannonball Run. I have seen neither of these movies, but I think I know more about Cannonball Run.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
for many years I had Logan's Run mixed up with Cannonball Run.
This. Is. AWESOME.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I used to mix it up with The Running Man.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I would watch a Logan's/Cannonball Run mashup. That sounds hugely entertaining!
