  • I felt the same. The movie didn’t speak to me, not even 2 % of all the impact that Midsommar or Get Out had on me.

    But I don’t blame Hereditary itself. I have watched really really bad horror movies, forced by friends and family, and Hereditary has at least good acting… It’s probably that we simply enjoy other things.

    I blame it on the fact that these paranormal horror movies tend to be relatively pointless, or their point isn’t really portrayed as well as they think it does. You can’t reflect on a deep philosophical thought if you know you are going to get jumpscared in a few seconds.

    Having said all this, I must say the movie “Talk To Me” (2022) is one of the few instances of me enjoying a paranormal movie. Still has deep messages throughout the movie, IMO. Hopefully you’ll like it too.







  • You liked the movie, so, can you tell me what is the point of the movie?

    spoilers

    Because, IMO, the Joker was concieved in the first movie as not capable enough to be a character that could have any impact or evolution aside from doing random shit. Which is literally what he does in both movies: complaining and random shit.

    Lawyers are shown doing lawyer things.

    Then, Harley comes in, and she’s obsessed. She’s a psychiatrist too. Okay, so maybe there’s something interesting in there… We can explore her story, why would she be obsessed with him… She lied! Okay, that is a conflict, I wonder how will it resolve… Oh, no, that’s it. No story for you. She disappears literally like a boolean character. On/off. Okay. But she’s Lady Gaga so let’s make it a musical.

    Also, police bad, it seems there’s also no story there.

    Then the director realises he created an impossible character, so he kills it with another nonsensical scene and calls it CINEMA.

    I don’t know… I can’t defend this movie.



  • I don’t care if the solution is AI based or not, indeed.

    I guess I thought it like that because AI is quite fit for the task of understanding what might be the purpose of code in a few seconds/minutes without you having to review it. I don’t know how some non-AI tool could be better for such task.

    Edit: so many people against the idea. Have you guys used GitHub Copilot? It understands the context of your repo to help you write the next thing… Right? Well, what if you apply the same idea to simply review for malicious/unexpected behaviour on third party repos? Doesn’t seem too weird for me.
