What you said about Pearl and Howard having sex and it having a hilarious/disgusted reaction from the audience was so true. They basically just demonstrated the point of the movie. X hit me different than most other slashers, it had a surprising amount of layers and small intricate details that I think just went over a lot of peoples heads. Pearl (the sequel) seems to be getting a more positive review from audiences thankfully though, I thought it was a million times better and deeper than X.

Maxine is an interesting character because her writing separates her from every other female protagonist in a slasher. She’s concerned about her career, and she constantly tries to manifest success by telling herself “you’re a fucking star.” This writing is so compelling, especially because it clashes with Pearl’s character, who destroyed her life for one audition that was completely taken out from underneath her. I’m really excited to see MAXXXINE, mostly because I’m curious to see how Maxine will turn out.

[@nickstanton9480]

I actually really liked Jackson’s death. Even though it was a single gunshot and was mostly off screen, it was layered with tragic symbolism and hidden meaning in so many ways. The swampy setting mirrors the rice paddies of Vietnam in many ways; it seems that Jackson escaped one jungle filled with farmers trying to shoot him only to die in another jungle, with another farmer shooting at him. There’s also this unsettling and simultaneous convergence of youth/age, Jackson and Howard’s shared military experience and the unspoken hierarchy connoted between them, and the parallel racial hierarchy between the two men, which has been hinted at during multiple different points of the film, with the pornographic racialized tropes that Jackson’s character represents in the eyes of the viewer, of RJ, and of Howard. In my opinion, while the least gory, it was most definitely the saddest, most symbolic, and most poignant death in the film.

When Howard asked Wayne if he severed in the military, Wayne responded no, because he was flat footed.

I might be pulling straws, but thought it was interesting to point out.

[@justafractionoftime1984]

The difference reminds me of, while not an official actor, Florence from Florence and the Machine. If you hear her talk in interviews, she sounds soft and mousy. Nervous even (she’s also British). But whenever she takes on her stage persona (a sort of acting) she becomes commanding, aggressive even. Not even the same person. That’s who Mia Goth reminds me of. Her soft voice and timid demeanor makes me appreciate her acting skills even more. Some actors play themselves so often or only play one kind of role. She’s a chameleon, and I hope to see more of her.

When a studio does it, it's annoying but expected and your mind goes to some greedy suits who don't know what they're doing. The director doing it feels worse because it feels more personal and really reflects poorly on the director.

I think you’ve really hit the nail on the head with the studio vs director thing. I hear “the studio hit us with a copyright strike” and instantly I think it’s just some bored, low-level flunky whose job it is to sit there and go “they used three frames of our property in a video, UNACCEPTABLE!” as they hit the ‘strike’ button. That, or that it’s not even a person doing it, it’s just an automatic response to keywords. Hearing a director has done it feels a lot more personal and spiteful.

I also didn't realize Mia Goth also played Pearl at first and was shocked when I saw the credits. I really hope her dual performances get some recognition when horror awards season rolls in. Also your take on RJ was interesting since I admit his last few scenes alive sort of bothered me. It kind of felt like to me that he really only saw the adult film industry as a stepping stone to his ambitions to make "true" cinema. But now knowing he's kind of meant to be a stand-in for the director and seeing his last few scenes again made me feel a little more sorry for him.

Pearl from SpongeBob?

[@Otakukunoichi]

@@DMW111090 No, Pearl the old lady from this movie that this video is about.

[@OhGeeKevlar]

I think the problem with RJ in his final scenes were mostly in his verbiage. He’s perfectly warranted in being uncomfortable with his girlfriend doing porn and on top of that, being forced to film it. He was then brushed off by everyone including her, essentially being told to suck it up and deal, which isn’t exactly cool. The whole situation is pretty fucked up, but his response certainly pushed her further in that direction. So it could’ve been handled better for sure. Lol

[@Otakukunoichi]

@@OhGeeKevlar Oh yeah, I get it. Like I said, in a second viewing I realize the corner the poor guy was backed into. Lorraine should have talked to RJ first and in private instead of announcing it to everyone. Especially after how everyone else was talking about their openness with love and sex which put RJ on the spot and already painted his possible objection in a bad light (see also her throwing back his words of "What are you? A prude?") To quote a certain drill sergeant: "What we have here is a failure to communicate"

I’m genuinely surprised that James didn’t go more in depth when talking about that incredibly well-made scene with the Alligator and Maxine.

Just thought James would’ve loved that a bit more!

James and Chelsea, who both have extensive knowledge on the horror genre and whose whole job revolves around horror, openly stated that they loved this this movie and even the kills (especially the gator kill) in their podcast episode. Obviously, everyone is allowed to have whatever opinion they have on any subjective art, but I don’t think it’s fair criticism to attribute other peoples high praise for this movie to being new or unfamiliar with horror, that just sounds extremely condescending.
