    OH yeah. Just without a mountain of cocaine.
    No way this was weirder than Mandy. It was awesome. But not weirder than Mandy.

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    AMAZING movie. I disagree with Ezee that the comedy is unintentional - there are very deliberate absurd moments, and I can't imagine an actor more suited to them than Cage, always ready to out-Cage himself. But also (and this is a point touched by Stanley in that interview) this is a movie that gets what Lovecraft is all about in a way few other adaptations do, even if it adds up so much idiosyncracies from other sources like Wiccan cults and New Age hippie-ism. The goofy aspect that came up in the trailers (the fact that the color from out of space is really purple) is very well handled in my opinion.

    Agreed - this movie captures the spirit of the source material better than any film based on a Lovecraft story, at least any film I have seen.

    That review coming from baby doll sounds right up my alley.
    You were wrong. BD was right. Big fat meh to this movie.

    I enjoyed this, but gotta say, with the rep it has built...i was expecting more.

    I really thought it would get a lot crazier than it did.

    Also, the way the movie mirrors my life so uncannily in so many ways made me a bit uncomfortable.

    No, you can't milk alpacas, that part was BS.

    But yeah, so if you remember the plot of the movie well, hear this out...

    My dad retired early when my mom was diagnosed with cancer. Moved out to the country with his grown children still living at home, where he moved into a home on land he inherited from a dead relative. Then he bought and started farming alpacas.

    More than a little eerie
