That's what gave me that whole "2 hour pilot" vibe. At the end of the film I was like, man this isn't gonna get a season 2.

i just walked down to the store to see my wife and get some beer, and walking out i saw a really nice new black car. "coo, coo coo coo" i thought, then i noticed it had a sticker on the side that said "to enslave and serve", which, okay, really into S&M but i am not in a position to judge that.

I was still mostly with it through the second act due to residual good vibes from that opening and some of the initial endearingly haphazard idiocy around the actual plans for and outcomes of flatlining, but the moment where it lost me for sure was when the ghost just stabs the blond dude through the hand and we cut to a completely different scene where he's got a bandaged hand. It's such a puzzling disaster of editing that elides what should have by all reasoning been the most entertaining part of the scene

I also feel like the trailers really oversold how madcap it'd get - when you have people saying "how is she DOING that?" and "I'm gonna heal everyone I touch today!" I was waiting for people to flatline repeatedly until they got legit occult supernatural powers, with the "consequences" being like, demons of the near-death realm coming to collect on their debts. Hell, during the climactic sequence I was expecting Diego Luna's solution to be "flatline myself in order to Orpheus this departed soul back to the land of the living" instead of the treacly and staid nonsense we got

It's a movie that just kept hinting at more ridiculous and entertaining versions of itself, and those versions would be stone cold CineD cult classics. Instead it's like, who is this poo poo for, who did you assemble this surprisingly solid cast for

Yeah, in the first third or so, I was vibing with it, like it was gonna turn into Limitless x We Are Your Friends. But the party scenes lost me immediately, they reminded me of that set footage of some movie where everybody is clubbing in total silence. It's just weird. In addition, they need to stop filiming these things in Toronto.

The movie Get Out had a truly awful summary written on Wikipedia (more of a laundry list of scenes), despite being an adored film almost a year old. I just completely re-wrote it with more detail, so maybe some goons who missed it and don't have the time can now learn about this great and horrifying movie:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Get_Out_(film)#Plot posted:

Black photographer Chris Washington reluctantly agrees to meet the parents of his white girlfriend Rose Armitage, unsure of a warm reception. During their drive towards the family's isolated countryside estate, a white policeman pulls over and seemingly profiles Chris. Rose intervenes and the encounter goes unrecorded.

Chris meets Rose's parents, neurosurgeon Dean and hypnotherapist Missy. Everyone tries to make Chris feel welcome — blunderingly. The unstable black housekeeper Georgina disturbs Chris and sabotages his phone charger. That night, after a bizarre run-in outside with black groundskeeper Walter, Missy catches Chris returning and offers therapy on the pretext of treating his cigarette use, having condemned that before. Chris humors her. His own mother's automobile death dominates the session. Missy furtively hypnotizes Chris; he feels himself fall through the chair, paralyzed in a void she calls "the sunken place". Chris awakens the next morning believing he had a nightmare, but later realizes that Missy has hypnotized him to quit smoking.

Dozens arrive for the Armitages' annual get-together, which Rose failed to warn Chris he would endure. Chris meets Logan, an unsettlingly familiar black man dating a much older white woman. Various older white couples take an uncanny interest in Chris and make uncomfortable remarks, such as one claiming to "know Tiger Woods", or that "black is in fashion", or adulating black figures. After enough micro-aggressions, Chris calls his best friend, black TSA Officer Rod Williams, about their unusual behavior and his hypnosis. He stealthily photographs Logan, but the phone flash causes Logan to enter a hysterical state with younger mannerisms, rushing Chris with a nosebleed and desperately yelling "get out". Dean claims Logan suffered an epileptic seizure. Skeptical, Chris takes Rose on a walk, and out of growing suspicion persuades her to end their stay. Meanwhile, Dean holds a mysterious auction elsewhere, a picture of Chris on display.

(Spoilers / Plot twists from the final act follow)

While packing to leave, Chris sends Logan's photo to Rod, who recognizes him as past acquaintance and missing person "Andre". Chris also finds photos of Rose in prior relationships with men and women, including Andre, Walter and Georgina, despite her claim that Chris was her first black boyfriend. Alarmed, Chris demands the car keys, but Rose and the whole family block him. Chris fights but is incapacitated by Missy's hypnosis. Faced with a large conspiracy but not fully grasping it, Rod goes to the police but is derided.

The "family reunion" was a secret society that gathers to harvest victims. Strapped to a chair, Chris is presented with Rose's grandfather on video, another neurosurgeon who announces the family has perfected a method of pseudo-immortality: Dean transplants brains of his invariably white older friends into bodies of younger black people, selected by Rose and hypnotically prepped by Missy. A slice of each victims' brain remains undiscarded, doomed to their "sunken place" as the host controls them. Jim Hudson, a blind art dealer, wants Chris's body so he can regain sight. When asked "why black people?", Jim shruggingly answers that everybody has their own reasons, facets of blackness they've encountered in life that they'd gladly appropriate. Chris plugs his ears with wads of stuffing pulled from the chair, blocking the hypnotic commands that render him unconscious. When Rose's brother Jeremy comes to collect him for the surgery, Chris escapes, killing Jeremy, Dean, and Missy.

While driving away, Chris hits Georgina. Guilt over his mother's death forces him to take the unconscious woman with him, but Georgina (whose body Rose's grandmother stole, as the grandfather stole Walter's) soon attacks him causing a crash, and dies. Rose and "Walter" catch up, but Chris successfully uses his phone's flash to free the real Walter, as with Logan earlier. Walter takes Rose's rifle and shoots her and then himself to prevent the grandfather from regaining control. Chris strangles Rose, but cannot bring himself to kill her as a police car pulls up. Rose cries out for help, hoping that Chris will be seen as the attacker, but the driver is Rod in a TSA vehicle. He and Chris drive away as Rose succumbs to her gunshot wound.

If they're not going to make Flatliners better, why not just do a tepid remake of Brainstorm, which is at least a good movie?

Oh jeez I get upset sometimes thinking about what Brainstorm could have been if Trumbull was ever able to make the 60fps theatrical presentation happen or if they ever did a remake at 48fps.

One of my assertions about 48fps was that it could have been a great movie technology if they focused on selling it as heightened reality instead of trying to sell it as closer to reality than 24fps, which nobody accepted. Films like Tron or Wizard of Oz... imagine if the films started at 24fps and then switched to 48 when the protagonist entered the fantasy world. Imagine Matrix starting at 48fps and switching to 24 in the real world. What if a film like Gladiator or Saving Private Ryan only used 48fps during battles the way they used fast shutters. What about scenes in films where somebody takes adrenaline or cocaine or meth!

Still shaking my head about it.
