Yup that's the one. Think it was David Simon's first post-Wire project. It's brilliant.

I’m an idiot for just realizing Alexander is Stellan’s son

Should’ve been obvious with the last names but for the longest I kept confusing him with Armie Hammer

Floki from Vikings and Pennywise from It are also Stellan's sons

He f***ing snapped

Just looked it up he has hella kids and 2 young ones with a new wife. His bloodline taking over Hollywood once his kids have kids old enough to act

I started at ep.1 & it was good but HBO Max got me caught up on too many shows. I’m watching that soon

I saw this on Saturday.

Honestly not as blown away as others itt. It's very cool to see him getting a shot at a big budget film and in the sense of providing a grand spectacle he certainly pulled it off. But the plot lacks depth. Some characters were a little one-dimensional and/or under-devwloped. And, for as weird as it was, I just think of how weird The Lighthouse was and can't help but compare, and want the latter.

Also was nice to see a heavy emphasis on cultural/authenticity elements throughout. Often got lost in the midst.

Still worth seeing no doubt.

yeah this was hard

Dolby Cinema this weekend

I gotta pre roll full of Cali Blue Dream ready to smoke before I go to the theater

It's gonna be a good time

You ever green out from smoking a full one by yourself before?

Always

I don’t like Viking s*** so I’m at a disadvantage, but I’ve loved Eggers so far

Is it The Revenant syndrome? Where the beautiful visuals aren’t really propped up with a plot that involving.

Those dispensary pre rolls strong AF

I can face like 1/3 of one and be good af, I keep my tolerance pretty low nowadays anyway.
I greened out once smoking one so now I try not to smoke too much at once

Similar yeah. I never felt too invested in the characters. And some plot decisions just felt a little too contrived.

I read this review after seeing it and pretty much agree with everything he says: bbc.com/culture/article/20220411-the-northman-review-not-weird-or-violent-enough

He also brings up Green Knight, which was also the first comparison point that came to mind for me after seeing it. And I much prefer Green Knight

Wait why????

We back to low budget indy aftet this flop
hope he can still afford anya

Also he didn’t say “it’s not gonna happen” Marc asked “so those films aren’t happening” and Rob said “not at the moment”. Niggas gotta learn how to quote correctly before tweeting

Seeing this Saturday afternoon.

once on a roasting hot day in the middle of summer when I was 13 and we had smoked and bomber that was strictly THC compiled from a buster

another time hotknifing roaches back then I got green out paralyzed in front of a tv that was playing Natural Born Killers

Hasn't happened in a thousand years though

I listened to the podcast and he just said it wasn’t currently in the works, unless there’s a second part i didn’t hear

Seen this was coming to theatres next week, hype... realise it comes out late May instead in New Zealand. FFS.
