Heads and Flower Crowns up y'all, my second favorite movie of 2019 so far -- well I think anyway; I haven't actually tabulated my rankings yet so this is off the top of my head -- Ari Aster's Midsommar is hitting blu-ray today! Read my review of this incredible nightmare in daylight right here. I know a lot of you have already seen it -- I think after a slow-roll A24 eventually got this into a lot of theaters across the country? Well there's never a better time to watch Midsommar twice, thrice, and so forth. I saw it in the theaters four times myself -- three times the normal cut and once the Director's Cut, which frustratingly is not on this disc. There's honestly nothing wrong with the Original Cut but all of the scenes that got added in the longer version have become part of my idea of the film now, so I'm going to need that one on disc dammit. But for now this will have to do...

Bring on the good caps!! 👍🏻👍🏻
I wasn't sure about this movie but now seeing this picture makes me think I should give it a try 😂
I really didn't like the movie. I found it extremely episodic for its high concept to work and its stronger trick, to get us to sympathise with the atrocious evolution of Danny against the (in hindsight) way too lesser meanness of her meek boyfriend and his poor poor friends, couldn't save the whole for me, since these were very broadly drawn caricatures, not characters. Plus the whole thing with the duelling PhD students was hilarious and ridiculously so! In a better film this would have been a hard hitting irony for those sympathising with Danny, but she was nothing but a paper-thin character too, so…
My apologies for sounding like a shill for Apple, but If you have an Apple TV or are just willing to buy the VOD copy from iTunes, they have the director's cut as an iTunes Extra. I missed seeing Midsommar in theaters and was really wanting to see the director's cut, so it was my only option. But glad I bought it -- I loved it. I. keep thinking I should watch the theatrical version, though wonder if there's any point beyond curiosity about what was trimmed; it's bound to seem weaker in comparison IMO.

we -- don't apologize, I should have mentioned it's available there on Apple since I knew it was. I just prefer physical media, I'm old school (barf, I sound ridiculous)
