How was your theatre experience if you watched it at the theatre? The amount of people laughing throughout mine kinda threw me off
>>223444148Never watched it and I never will.
this is somehow more annoying than the boys spam when it got new seasons
>>223444148i would never, ever watch a horror movie in theaters. at most, it's an intimate setting with a few friends that i know are capable of respecting the art of cinema.
Before this thread turns into the same sermon: the movie is not “he should have just asked.”Nikki was already sleeping with Ian. Bear was the coworker she kept around. Then the script gives her a cold yes/no after that arrangement is already in place, and the comments treat the flinch as proof he blew a real chance. That is not how a woman opens a door to a man she wants. That is how you manufacture a villain.“Just have courage / say it in the parking lot” only describes Ian, who was already in. Selling that line to the guy she had filed as harmless is the trick. Same with the sniff-test version: “he had no game, women can tell, you have it or you don’t.” If that’s true, there was no chance and the quiz was theater. You don’t get to run both.She can be messy, split, and taken. He names it or wants her too much and that’s the unforgivable part. The movie exists so wanting a girl who is not offering you anything clean becomes the horror, and her optionality becomes depth.If your take is “he was a coward and Ian did it right,” you are not talking about the plot. You are defending a market where she never has to choose out loud and he is always one wrong sentence from being the monster.

I often wonder wtf did Bear and Real Nikki even talk about over the phone. Because it's implied they have these deep long phone conversations but then it turns that Bear didn't really know Nikki at all.
>>223444655women will lead on their orbiters with lengthy phone-calls from time to time as a means to tighten the leash. the call is muted and deafened for 50% of the duration, at minimum. sometimes they are even with their boyfriends and they laugh about it together. i know this from first-hand experience.
>>223444557The way she died is the only thing I dislike about the film. Her suddenly having superhuman strength doesn't make much sense
>Bear stirs Nikki's guts>whole theater starts cheering and throwing popcorn and someone blows a vuvuzela they snuck in
>>223444238At least the boys died a humiliating death and has been tossed in the pile of "shit nobody even talks about anymore" trash
>>223444458...wo...would she have?
>>223444148In an industry full of shit, mediocrity appears exceptional
>>223446938Shit that never happened. Scene after the sex scene is her in the corner with the uncanny valley look.
If only he>went to gym>made more female friends>removed his oneitis/scarcity mindsetHe could have easily had Nikki anytime he wanted
>>223444557Why was her naked body left on display at the end?
>>223445879>Her suddenly having superhuman strength doesn't make much senseMy headcanon is that Nikki temporarily received increased strength from the adrenaline she got from ramming her own head through the window
>>223446938The zoomettes behind me kept talking about how nice Bear’s ass was lol
>>223448452Every time Inde is whimsical 3000 white women have a rage-induced heart attack
>>223444148Why didn't he just leave with the money? The main character was so retarded
>>223448121That’s the self-help sticker they slap on a closed door.Nikki was already with Ian. The movie does not show a girl waiting for Bear to deadlift and collect girl friends. It shows a girl who had sorted him as safe and kept the actual sex elsewhere. “He could have had her anytime” is fanfiction. If that were true, the plot is a two-hour punishment for not doing pushups.Gym, social circle, kill oneitis — fine as generic male advice. They do not rewrite this girl. They exist so you can blame the leftover man for a pairing she already made. Scarcity mindset is a real cope. So is pretending a taken coworker becomes available because you touched a barbell.If women only dated men who “did the work,” Ian would not be the proof of concept. Ian is the proof she picks who she picks and the comment section will still hand Bear a chore list. That’s not self-improvement. That’s you volunteering to be the explanation for her no.
I can see why Bear was obsessed with her
>>223448921She’s gorgeous but looks like shit here
Keep in mind, Ian in the script is suppose to very handsome. Barker cast his goofy looking buddy and collaborator as Ian. Barker was originally going to play Bear before deciding to just direct and got Johnson who more handsome than dude playing Ian. Things make more sense if think Bear looking like Barker and some petty boy actor playing Ian
>Freaky Nikki will return in Avengers Doomsday
>>223449062Barker is such an unfuckable diseased looking freak it would make it way less feminist Casting a good looking guy as bear and a fat fuck for ian makes it insanely feminist and pro hoeflation so that women can say>see? We totally fuck fat ugly guys as long as they don’t think highly of us or make us have to choose to be exclusive and lose out on the cock carousel
>>223449071She know exactly what she’s doing. Long career playing the seductress
>>223444148Does anyone else think naming him Bear was a nod to the "man or bear" debate?
>>223449278His name was Baron
>>223444458I'd eat her shit and suck her clit tbhonest
>>223448194haha sexoooooo
>>223445879It makes sense when she's possessed by a wish-demon, which is the case, regardless of what the retard director says
Her performance was good but I think the guy had the better performance. Not sure why critics and everyone else is creaming over her. Doing exaggerated hyperbolic acting that she did is much easier than doing the subtle toned down performance that the guy had to do. He showed the feeling of having a crush and the anxiety on someone and the disappointment when they don't return the feeling in his eyes and face convincingly.
>>223448194To show Nikki kept the body not only took her dress but her scalp
>>223448194Nikki dragged the body back so that she could alter her appearance to look like the dead girl. Notice she had fake tattoos identical to the dead girl, Nikki basically set the body up to examine it over and copy for herself
>>223449486To say she just made funny faces is stupid. She played two people fighting for control of one body. I agree he did a great job and fact he’s so timid and not physically imposing was crucial considering Inde is so tiny
>>223444148Empty theatre. I go to morning sessions.
>>223444148>How was your theatre experience if you watched it at the theatre?I enjoyed that more than the actual film, and I did like the movieit was like 75% girls too so they got extra squeamish and skeeved out at all the gross scenes
>>223449644did you do sex on them?
>>223449486My first thought after finishing the movie was that this dude was god tier
>>223449523This is what I assumed, I just wondered why the body is seemingly displayed and left out on the chair. If this is the case >>223449498 I missed it in theaters and it makes more sense. Otherwise it just seemed extraneous. You know, like feeding him the cat.
Denver didn’t win the game and everyone even faggot Denver fans know it
My theater was also laughing a lot
>>223449486While I do agree sublty in film is a lot more difficult to pull off he didn't really do that well either
Didn't see it. Won't see it. Not going to see any of these trite zoomer fake indie slop films. None of them. I'd be first to watch Winnie the Pooh horror spin-offs. Won't even be getting a free watch from me. Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and give to God what is God's.
he did a hard rape
>>223446938I'm the one who yelled "chicken jockey"
>>223450791what year?
>>223444202>Never watched it and I never will.FPBP, same. I have never seen ANYTHING get shilled so fucking hard in my entire life, and it is absolutely nauseating. I don't give a fuck if this is the greatest film of all time [it's definitely not], I'm at a point where I wouldn't watch it for anything short of a five figure check. Absolutely repulsive behavior. I hope your mom gets cancer OP.
>>223448921This retard doesn't know what "symmetry" means.
>>223450897For a symmetrical person, how does she look so different from different camera angles?
>>223450791>the whole theater when Bear says IT'S BEARIN' TIME and starts Bearin' all over Nikki's face and stomach
>>223444148A big black cock could've saved her.
>>223444148There was a ton of laughing in mine too, along with myself. Horror movies are often a mix of dark comedy and this one didn't take itself too seriously which is what made it fun.
I wish men and women didn't hate each other.
>>223444257>>223448898Could you write normally and not like chat gpt?
>>223448472Zoomettes yearn for that Bear pump.
>>223448121There's no more looks upgrade that you can do if you're already that not-fat. Either your face allows it or not by that point.
>>223449486>He showed the feeling of having a crush and the anxiety on someone and the disappointment when they don't return the feeling in his eyes and face convincingly.For the critics and social media the character is nothing but a rapist lower than Ted Bundy or any other famous serial killer, so...
>>223444719The joke is on them. Remember having an affair with a fat chick and she would call me with these long ass phone calls and at one point I just put the phone on the couch table and fell asleep while she kept talking. I woke up a few hours later and picked up the phone again and she was still talking.
>>223444655
>>223444148>How was your theatre experience if you watched it at the theatre? The amount of people laughing throughout mine kinda threw me offIt was a normal movie with a normal audience.
>>223451641Jews did this.
>>223448121I mean yes, if he had his own life it would really help.But also the film was deliberately filmed in a way to make it ambiguous whether or no she is interested.The main thing is he firstly should have tried to see her as a real person instead of a projection (for example, he destroys rapport for example when ignoring her romance/love story point, instead this would have been a good moment to built rapport/emotional relevance, but also it seems like he doesn't even know she has issues with her father, even though all their other friends now, showing he is not even listening to her/thinking of her as a full person, just putting her on a pedestal). And also he should have been less of a coward. Doesnt have to be "I love you" (why he doesnt, he just is obsessed with her because he has nothing going on in his life and gets no pssy) but he could show intent. This is not meant to be "just be yourself" slop, but my advice would be become someone better and then be yourself. But also engage with people as people.
>>223444202you will never watch a movie that you're clearly interested in. You're so based Are they giving chud medals for that?
>>223453794>You're so basedThanks
>>223453601If the film is “deliberately ambiguous” about her interest, you don’t get to grade him for missing a door that the movie itself won’t draw. Ambiguity is the feature. It lets you say she was available when you need him guilty, and say she wasn’t when you need her innocent.“Have a life / don’t pedestal / listen about her dad / show intent” is a chore list for a man who was not in the slot. Ian did not win because he remembered her father. Ian was already having sex with her. Turning Bear’s loss into a rapport seminar is how you keep the leftover man in training for a test whose answer was assigned off-screen.He can be awkward and still not be the reason she was with someone else. Cowardice is your favorite word because it turns her choice into his homework. “Become someone better then be yourself” is the same sentence: the no is never hers as a finished fact. It is always his unfinished self-improvement.If she wanted him, the plot is ten minutes long. The plot is two hours because the point is to put the entire burden of decoding, timing, tone, and “emotional relevance” on the man who didn’t get picked, then call that fairness.
>>223448921She’s HTB thoughbeit Maybe Stacey-lite since you gotta add +1 to ethnics for parity adjustment
>>223454184this is so AI-ish that I don't even fully get what you are saying.Love/attraction is ambiguity and that never stops, even if you get the girl. " is a chore list for a man " cry moar. Anything worthwhile arrives form struggle. Ian was having sex with her because he did have a life, didnt pedestal and showed intent. And he did listen about her dad, since he mentions it. But Ian was only wanting to smash, which is fine if they both want. Does mean that if Nikki liked Bear they could have had something even if she was shagging Ian before."no is never hers as a finished fact. It is always his unfinished self-improvement." Becoming a better person is a goal in itself. And sometimes no is just no/never and thats that, time to move on."If she wanted him, the plot is ten minutes long."Only if he had made his intentions clear. Which he NEVER did. Even when she is already under the spell and giving all the signs he only says he likes her after she says it (the scene at the door)."who didn’t get picked,"We dont know because he never tried to find out.
>>223454440Reply:You get it. You’re just moving the goal after it lands.Love being “always ambiguous” is how you refuse a finished no and refuse a finished yes. Then every miss is his decoding error forever. That’s not romance. That’s you keeping the man on a quiz that never ends.Ian didn’t get sex because he aced her dad trivia. He got sex because she wanted him. Mentioning the dad is you hunting for a technique so the outcome looks earned instead of chosen. “She could have still wanted Bear while shagging Ian” is the same move: her body is already elsewhere and you still won’t call that a pick.He pined for years. She knew. A woman who wants you does not need a formal declaration to know the temperature. The door scene where he only says it after she does is the movie protecting her line. You treat that as his failure so you can say “we don’t know, he never tried.” We know enough: she was sleeping with the other guy.Struggle is real. This isn’t struggle. This is you turning her preference into his character defect so “no” never has to belong to her. If the only way he finds out is a speech you wrote after the fact, you already decided the no wasn’t allowed to be a no.
>>223454440>>223454496>What that mentality is forIt is not a theory of love. It is a defense of a market where she keeps every option open and he keeps paying the processing fee.>What she is protecting1. Parallel tracks. Nikki can sleep with Ian and Bear can still have been “in play.” If both are true at once, she never has to say she chose. Choice would close the spare.2. Ambiguity as a legal shield. If attraction is “always ambiguous,” then leading, delaying, and testing never count as a decision. Every miss becomes his failure to read, time, or phrase. She keeps deniability. He keeps the homework.3. No that isn’t allowed to finish. She will say “sometimes no is no.” In the same breath she says we don’t know because he never tried. That combination is the product: the no is real enough to keep him out of her bed, fake enough that he still owes a better personality.4. Effort as rent. Gym, friends, listen to dad, show intent, become someone then be yourself. None of that is why Ian was there. It is why leftover men stay in the queue. Struggle talk makes the rent sound noble.>IntentKeep male desire cheap and female selection expensive to name. If the outcome is “she picked Ian,” the thread ends and the spare labor walks. If the outcome is “he never became enough,” the spare labor stays. Endorsing the movie this way trains women that they can run a favorite and a pet and still be the injured party when the pet wants a verdict. It trains men that a closed door is a self-improvement assignment.>ConsequenceYou get a culture that calls her sex with someone else “fine if they both want,” and calls his wanting her “obsession” unless it arrives in the exact tone she didn’t ask for out loud. Hypergamy doesn’t have to argue for itself. It just has to keep the quiz running. The poster is not confused. She is collecting the surplus: options for her side, blame for his.
>>223448121As someone who had it at one point when I was a teenager, the oneitis mindset can be genuinely difficult to remove from yourself, honestly. It's one of those things that you look back on with regret like "what the fuck was I thinking?", but when you're actually in it, it's tough to initially break out of it.
