I discovered this website maybe 2 years back, and I was happy to have found what I considered the definitive place to decrypt movies that otherwise stymied me. It was between THiNC, and ThisisBarry, where I could get real help with movie interpretation. It was these write-ups that breathed new life into my interest in tricky films. Now, there’s this whole Patreon thing. And well, now, it feels like some of the best revelation content (always near the end of the post) is being denied. It’s like reading through a wonderful lengthy joke, but being denied the punchline. I feel like this site’s core is the posts. I would understand better the premium content perks (Patreon) being stuff like special forums, special chatrooms, special film recommendation lists for a specific user. I get all of that. But a post like this, where Taylor is spilling his soul with his post… I don’t like that I’m not getting the final punchlines of his brain. I wish I could afford $60 a year or more, but I can’t. I’m getting married, I’m building a new house, new family, all that good stuff. Just my two cents. I think the post content should be for all to see. Even the poorest of us. That’s part of the love, man! Last thought…. Even if I could afford the $60 a year, how do I really know what I’d be paying for (what I’m missing in these posts)? A wee bit of cart before horse. Oh boy, now I KNOW I’m on probation! ;)

I think you’ve really overrated the screenplay. They really try to hammer the story too much. Yep. Also, the connection between Eric and Christine seems really forced. I may have gone in, hoping for another Brightburn or Sleight. But Mortal didn’t really rate like that. Probably a little too long on the runtime for what the movie had to offer. Maybe even seems like it should have only been a short.
