Pumpkin Person rating: 7 out of 10
For years commenter “Race Realist” has been telling me to watch this movie (because I’m a horror fan who is interested in genetics?) but I avoided it because when it comes to horror, I prefer the semi-realistic (i.e. slasher films) to the supernatural (i.e. ghost stories) because the former at least have some kind of logic to then, while in the latter, anything goes (people start flying or shape-shifting, pillows turn into people).
But in the spirit of Halloween I decided to step out my comfort zone and give this film a chance.
The film tells the story of Annie Graham (played by Toni Collette), her husband Steve ( Gabriel Byrne ), and their two teenaged kids, Peter (Alex Wolff ) and Charlie ( Milly Shapiro). For a film called Hereditary, there’s not a lot of physical resemblance between the swarthy Wolf and the pale actors who play his parents.
The Grahams are an upper middle class family with a creepy but beautiful home in the Woods. The film starts with the death of Annie’s mother (who suffered from mental illness) and her fear that her daughter Charlie will do so too. She encourages her socially well-adjusted son Peter to take Annie to a party and something utterly horrific happens. It happens so quickly that I actually had to rewind the film several scenes later to see exactly what happened because I had no idea I had missed something that important.
The film is well-written, well-acted and well-directed (with lots of use distant camera shots) but it’s not fun, enjoyable or entertaining. But if you’re looking for an atmospheric and effective horror film to watch on Netflix this Halloween season, it might be worth a look. If you’re looking for a horror film about Behavioral Genetics, don’t let the title fool you.

Supernatural horror can be sometimes be pretty good. Sixth Sense is a good example. Toni Collette was in that one, too.
Yes the Sixth Sense was one of the few horror films to actually terrify me.

correction for geography actually suggests asians make less than whites.
[redacted by pp, Halloween 2020] most jobs are the same from one city to another but wages are not and the difference in wages isn’t explained by a different economic base. not even in the bay area. sf has always been near the top, long before there were even a handful high tech workers.

asians are more likely to be poor almost everywhere. so you’d have to claim it’s all those polynesians bringing the average down. i doubt it.

i can name a lot of other factors. the number one thing whites have is their parents are likely to be richer and/or have connections simply because they aren’t immigrants or the children of immigrants.
bret weinstein explains how racial disparities are not due to present day racism but to racism from generations ago.
also there’s the stereotype that asians of the ne variety are academically ambitious but not ambitious when it comes to moving up the corporate ladder or starting a business.
Certainly doesn’t explain Weinstein’s people who came to America as penniless refugees fleeing anti-Semitism
yes it does.
yes! in the 50s jews were poor!
there were rich jews, but the immigrants and children of immigrants were poorer than blacks for the most part.
blankfein and howard schulz grew up in the projects before they were totally negrified.
irving crystal left the left because he said jews were poorer than blacks in his time.
being born to native parents is the advantage.
Blacks & whites are born to native parents so doesn’t explain how Jews made the leap from rags to riches
Of course mug of pee wants to adjust for geography because he lives in white trash big foot USA. He wants to believe being an average fish in his tiny blue collar pond makes him relatively rich but the reality is my TV literally worth more than his house. At least he’s rich in scenery
again you can’t read.
1. i live in the richest municipality in oregon.
2. pdx is 10th on the list of 280 major american metros in income.
3. pdx is just below NYC for house prices. number 17 out of 280 or so.
and i don’t live in pdx proper. i can’t vote on the ridiculous mayoral race. and downtown pdx is a third world country as i’ve explained and douglas murray confirmed recently because homeless living in big screen televisions blaring old oprah episodes.
if you’ve been to socal you know there’s LAPD and then there’s santa monica PD, malibu PD, beverly hills PD. a municipality isn’t a neighborhood. it has a mayor and a police.
but peepee is right. compared to the richer parts of very big cities my city is a dump.
like northeast LA and nassau and fairfield and southern suffolk counties.
wow
but iirc indian americans have the highest income of any group. more than jews and chinese etc. they also do very well in england. much better than pakistanis.
There are still way more Jews per capita on the Forbes 400. Indians tend to be doctors where the mean income is high but the variability low
Ok so what was the leon black payment for then?
My guess is that he supports the work he’s probably doing for Israel & is funding it
I considered this as well but figured mossad must have better ways of funding their ops than asking wall street jews to fund them directly. They can use israeli taxpayer money and it leaves less questions behind.
They can do both. Wexner was funding Epstein according to Maria Farmer who lived with Epstein for a year. If wexner was funding him, why not other billionaires?
https://www.forbes.com/sites/lisettevoytko/2020/10/29/leon-black-reveals-other-jeffrey-epstein-finance-clients-including-a-us-treasury-secretary/#524592934d20
So it was the jew york times that first reported on Black/Epstein. This makes is more likely Black really was being blackmailed. THe NYT would never report on Mossad given a choice not to.
They might if the story was coming out anyway. And don’t use antisemetic terms to describe NYT please
I used that phrase to praise the nyt for its ethnic roots.
no. israeli politics is very corrupt. israel is the most unequal developed country after the US and jews are like southern italians and other meds, corrupt.
Leon Black also appears as a banker in the book Barbarians at the Gate. He has a very minor role and he is not a billionaire yet. Black used to work for Michael Milken who you may recall was pardoned by Trump recently.
NY Times has more coverage of this actually portraying Milken very negatively. Interesting to note Sheldon Adelson asking for clemency for Milken. Sheldon is an Israel-Firster.
He’s worth $7.4 billion according to Forbes
https://www.forbes.com/profile/leon-black/?sh=6adfda4d1629
This is a good article. So it appears Black made these payments AFTER epstein was tried for child molesting. To me, that means he wasn’t financing further predation but was being shaken down for hush money.
Autism^^
pill is right. there’s no other explanation. epstein was NOT a financial or tax avisor. [redacted by pp, nov 1, 2020]
milken is an interesting case like madoff in that he was a crook AND a legitimate businessman at the same time. he invented original issue issue junk and thus made the LBO possible.
No one’s claiming he’s a financial advisor. But Pill is so autistic he thinks rich zionists were victims of his extortion schemes instead of the ones financing it
I don’t know for sure but its one or the other.
yeah. entrapping jews would be pointless unless…what?
does pill know how much of a hard core zionist wexner is?
he funded lipstadt in her trial brought by irving.
“Answer: just low IQ”
“I prefer the semi-realistic (i.e. slasher films) to the supernatural (i.e. ghost stories) because the former at least have some kind of logic to then, while in the latter, anything goes (people start flying or shape-shifting, pillows turn into people).”
You don’t like fantasy?
“She encourages her socially well-adjusted son Peter to take Annie to a party and something utterly horrific happens. It happens so quickly that I actually had to rewind the film several scenes later to see exactly what happened because I had no idea I had missed something that important.”
I saw the movie in the theater. It’s explicitly directed so that you focus on that scene, specifically on Charlie and what was happening to her before the scene.
At the end of the movie I was thinking “What the fuck was that?” Then I thought about it and read into it and I loved it.
I’m obviously a fan of more story-driven media (I should really read more novels), but I love a good movie story.
“Us”, “Midsommar” (a film by the same director of Hereditary, which is more up your alley), Joker and It1/2 were the last films I saw. My favorite is Hereditary followed by Midsommar, Us, Joker and then It1/2.
I know that you like the action of slasher films, but the story told here is really compelling and leaves you with a lot to think about.

Did you know that the cult of Hamon was at the spot where the scene with Charlie happened? Did you notice any of the symbolism that alluded to Hamon? The whole point is that it’s an open question as to whether or not the family had schizophrenia or it was really happening to them. Annie’s was involved with the cult of Hamon. Was that hereditary (being involved with the cult) or did were they just delidonslt schizophrenics? Did the events really happen or did they imagine them? At the end, did Annie finally have a psychotic break? Did you notice how the husband didn’t really know anything that happened until the end of the movie? Charlie was supposed to be the vessel for Hamon but it ended up being Peter—did Hamon really exist or was it just in their minds?
Joker is very good. But Spider-Man 2 (the Tobey Maguire one) is the only superhero movie that’s genuinely great imo.
Everything from Iron Man on is a complete waste of time.
Dark Knight is very good, but the last hour of it is great.
Joker was a very dark movie. It reminded me of taxi driver. Theres a self reference to the comedian movie De Niro made in the 70s as well as De Niro actually playing the ‘villain’.
It reminded you of yourself. Be honest
Sean Connery died. He was very pro independence for Scotland. He also featured in a game I played on the PS2 based on James Bond ‘From Russia with Love’ which was a great game as I remember. He was a bit before my time so I only really knew him from basically when he had no hair.
it’s weird.
mike katz had yuge pecs but genetics did him in…does rr disagree?
same with connery…who was a bodybuilder before he was an actor…
connery’s arms are smaller than mine…and i haven’t lifted forever…
irrc there’s actually a scene in Pumping Iron where katz is “confronted” with his spaghetti arms.
When did American guidos become obsessed with bodybuilding and steroids? Afaict that stuff isn’t nearly as popular in southern Italy.
Was it during Arnold’s bodybuilding heyday in the late 60s/early 70s? Or when the gays took it up in the late 70s?
Boxing was a big deal in Italian-American communities back in the 40s/50s but those guys weren’t yuge because weight classes.
AND…
arnold is STILL the secretariat of bodybuilding.
after arnold:
1. greater “intake”/more people trying bodybuilding.
2. maybe better drugs and better “nutrition”.
but still…
arnold is the greatest at arms and chest.
and like secretariat, it isn’t even close.
this is why mugabe has listed Pumping Iron as one of the 10 greatest movies ever made…and people laugh…
arnold had the yuge advantage that his dad was SS.

Anime what do your parents do for work?
My mom worked at my grandmother’s hotel until 30. She was on SSDI until and still on it at age 64. She worked at Albertsons 3 years janitorial. This was 5 years ago.
All I know about my dad is that he lives in a shed and is on SSDI.

in other words…
you can literally make 2x as much in some places in the US and have a much shittier quality of life AND much less accumulated wealth after so many years.
i’ve lived on 20k a year in grad school in flyover farm white country…
and i guarantee my quaility of life was superior to most bay area high tech guys just out of college.
i once calculated that the income/rent ratio was highest in topeka kansas.
But you’re paying higher rent in part to live in a more interesting higher quality community which contributes to life quality, at least among social people
I’ve always preferred hanging out with southern frat boys and surfer dudes over indie guitarists and techies, but maybe that’s just me.

Puppy if leon black made the payments after epstein went to jail the first time and was found out, it must be blackmail, not funding his honeytraps.
you’re assuming Epstein’s operation was derailed by his conviction. On the contrary, he barely went to jail & continued to hang with bill Clinton, bill gates & other luminaries. So why would those funding honey traps abandon him?
No I dont think he continued to hang with those status of people.
He went to jail in 2008
He was allegedly seen with Clinton in 2014

I was reading an article that said lawyers in london now make more than investment bankers. I think they have similar hours, maybe a little easier for the lawyers. Never crossed my mind to do law. I was given an option to study a law module for my final year in undergrad and passed it up. Although I’m in a type of law type job now even after all that.
Wonder how Gman is doing. If he graduates and maintains a pulse he will be a CEO or Hollywood Oscar winner within a few years.
You’re still pushing your idiocy even after Murray showed blacks make LESS money than IQ matched whites?
That was one study and anecdotally everyone knows if you are black with an IQ over 100 as long as you don’t sexually harass anyone at work (even then, doubtful youd be sacked) or try to kill your manager you are set up for life.
^^autism
If I was black I would probably be a CEO or elder statesman. TV companies would be lining up to hear my opinions.
Blacks are 13% of America but only 0.8% of Fortune 500 CEOs. If being black were an advantage you’d expect a lot more considering 2.5% of Americans with IQs above 115 are black
You said yourself that supposedly having an IQ of 130 was needed to be a billionaire. That equates to about the same number of blacks that are Fortune 500 CEOs.
130 is about the average for self-made billionaires, but many are much lower.
When Obama proved he could compete with the whites and Jews at Harvard LS, some of his teachers were already talking about him being the first black president.
I’m sure they speculated about hundreds of students being president. And Obama is afro-multiracial which may indeed be an advantage because you get both the affirmative action of being black AND the white privilege of being half-white.
Pill if you were black you’d be the most schizophrenic person in the world….in large part to your amphetamine use and then on top of that youd have developed a crack-cocaine addiction.
Blacks suffer from a form of schizophrenia far worse than whites so yes….I’d imagine youd end up in a ditch somewhere.
If pill were black he’d be homeless. No little old white lady would let him play video games in her basement all day. Even rock bottom whites (and whatever pill is) benefit from white privilege.
They say Amy Comey Barrett will help the supreme court knock down AA. I hope so. Does anyone else think her voice is very childish. I was kind of taken aback when I first heard her speak. She’s also one of those weird religious conservatives that adopt black children, like [redacted by pp, nov 1, 2020]
The media always claims shit like that but nothing ever gets done because conservative judges handcuff themselves with stare decisis autism.
They should do a study comparing the ‘democratic’ american supreme court system and the closed chambers ones in Europe and see which type favours the plutocracy more. I rarely if ever see judges in the news in Europe and I think thats a good thing. People should have a fairly good idea what a decision will be before the ruling if the judge is competent.
Also Black said a former treasury secretary, various nobel laureates and CEOs etc were ‘clients’ of Epstein….
At least now we know why Epstein had to die.
Just played borderlands 3 so long my head hurt. Decent game
I think Trump knows what the deal is with Epstein. I don’t think he had sex with kids but I think he was aware that Epstein was throwing little girls at people like him.
I hope trump declares himself the winner. Then we’ll see who really runs the country.
of course i meant northWEST la.
there’s this area where you can drive for miles and miles and nothing but richers.

This guy is more NOBLE than most of nazisfascists in all their useless lives..
hitler eliminated homelessness in germany.
the red in the nazi flag symbolizes socialism.
but dems want to talk about trans women of color…because it costs nothing.
homelessness in a rich country means the people running it are psychopaths.
What Hitler did for good was to do evil or as blackmail. He gave employment to the working class, formerly unemployed because of the greed and selfishness of conservative and capitalist elites, but to turn them into minions full of hatred and fanaticism
and later on soldiers sacrificed at the altar of war.
It doesn’t matter if a country does good but it does bad. One must always do good based on knowledge. That simple. Hitler is equivalent to Stalin who also did good things in the midst of terrible things.
Is it difficult for the white masses to understand this ??
The only viable path to the Jewish question would be their psychological domestication, knowing how to recognize sociopaths from them and separated them.
But for the white man think about doing this with the jews he should look himself in the mirror and see if it is also not a problem to be solved.
Why isn’t Trump concerned about people and homeless animals ??
Why aren’t conservatives concerned ??
Because they only care about themselves and the “economy” (about themselves).
You don’t understand that when you speak of “the left only cares about trans people” you are referring to a part of the left.
Leftists or progressives are divided into sectors of social agendas. At least here in Brazil there are some sectors specialized in dealing with the vulnerable population that has the street floor as their home.
If the media makes a big deal about the trans cause it does not mean that there are no progressive activists concerned with the problem of homelessness. In addition, the main culprits for this problem are the people you defend.
And most neonazifascists don’t care//disdain about homeless people the same way they dont care about trans.
the most recent jewish immigrants who’ve made bank in the US, my guess is you’ll find they or their parents were extremely well educated in the soviet union. so their biggest barrier was english.
“the IQ + hard work + no racism = high income” might still work in canada. but even in scandinavia elite credentials and occupational status are very heritable. that is, the income mobility is because there are still lots of good blue collar jobs in scandinavia.
Spiderman has been rebooted so many times I actually don’t know who the current spidey is. Last I saw it was that guy that played the kid in remake of King Kong
The Batman movies are the best superhero type movies. And I’m also talking about the ones where Michael Keaton played Batman. I prefer him as Batman to Bale or Clooney or Kilmer.
