Then her daughter is always dreaming about being a star and so on, when on top of everything there is a pandemic and a world war, where the enemy is Germany.

She doesn't have any reason to lie because even if she doesn't get the gig, she's well off. She's rich. That's why she wasn't as devastated as the other girls who cried when they didn't get the part.

I know it's such a small detail that doesn't matter but Pearl actually DID tell the projectionist that she was married since he asks her a question about her having a husband and she tells him he's overseas. And he also asks for her name after that by prompting her for her last name with "Mrs....?" and she just answers back with "Pearl"

The thing that makes Pearl’s monologue so profound yet terrifying is how relatable it is. Her feelings of anger, regret, insecurity and loneliness are somethings almost everyone’s faced, and Pearl’s dreams and longing being challenged by reality just ground it even more. I found myself almost tearing up at her monologue because I saw parts of myself in her, even though she’s done extremely violent things. It gave me chills! This movie is so masterfully done.

That long monologue was truly chilling. I was on edge the entire time, just waiting for it to flip back around to show Mitzy. The fact that it's a still shot on Pearl shows her mindset, I think. She's not thinking about Mitzy, or Howard, or really anyone but herself. It sticks to your ribs long after the movie ends. I love it so dearly.

One of my favorite parts of this movie is how you feel sorry for Pearl despite her being murderous. It almost makes you want her to be able to leave, even if you don't condone her murderous behavior. It made me feel sorry for her in a way "X" did not. I also like how Mitzy was portrayed as friendly towards Pearl. Rather than being a stereotypical rich girl who looks down on Pearl for being less fortunate, Mitzy is nothing but kind and endearing to Pearl, even offering to listen to her at the end when Pearl delivers her monologue.

X and Pearl may be my favorite horror movies of the last 5 years. I'm super excited for MaXXXine.

It's amazing how much this movie is an adaptation of the Wizard of Oz without actually being that on purpose. Mitsi is the cowardly lion(wears fur), her dad is the tin man(is basically rusted from is disease) and Pearl is both Dorothy and the Wicked Witch. It's like Dorothy never got blown away as a child so she grew up to learn the hard way that "there's no place like home."

A fun and oddly accurate fact about the Loony tunes ending is Porky Pig’s stutter is an example of revision which is when someone with a stutter can’t get a word out so they change it. He’s actually trying to say “the end” but gets stuck, so he switches to “that’s all folks”

Mia Goth not getting nominated for an Academy Award for this is absolutely criminal! Horror has transcendent performances too!!!

The love story of Jame and Mr. Scarecrow. I didn’t know how much I needed it my life.

I think this is the greatest theater experience I ever had. Completely empty large theater, during the slower first half I was pacing around, doing jumping jacks, sit ups and pushups because you never get to do that while watching a movie in theaters. Admittedly I was enjoying it but felt the slow pacing. I figured Id just walk out and watch it on streaming where I could watch at my pace and as I was walking down the steps the dinner scene happened and the Mother said “you want to leave don’t you” and I laughed so hard and found a random seat and laughed some more.

I feel like the farm works as a prison that Pearl was condemned to for her actions. With Howard serving as both her warden and also her enabler. The fact that she never leaves even after 60 years either essentially no friends or family aside from her husband, really highlights that fact.

I like that Mitsy's audition dress looks kinda like a tornado! In the shot where they switch places before the audition, it looks like Pearl's dream to be swept away literally passes by her

Mia Goth already making herself a damn legend alr with the X trilogy and alr becoming a phenomenal scream queen. Decades from now she’s still gonna be an inspiration to many in the genre

When Bobby-Lynne gets eaten in X, Howard asks, “was that the one?”. Pearl responds with, “you know I don’t like blondes”. Hinting to the dance audition and Misty.

17:25 OOOOH! So that's where that freaking tiktok audio was from!

I was really hoping the "to the numbers" bit would have the scarecrow suddenly come to life as Zoran when James kissed it and start to say "Your kiss has transformed me back into-" and have James just go "No, not doin that" and walk off screen. Idk I thought it'd be funny.

What's especially harrowing is that even though Howard is clearly shown to be horrified by what Pearl's done, they've still somehow stuck together as a couple by the events of "X", which take place decades later. Did Pearl blackmail him into keeping what happened a secret between them? Did Howard already know that there would be no use in trying to bring her to justice? Imagine how long he had to live with her knowing the shit she pulled.

the Dream Theater joke was *chef's kiss*

20:20 I'll bet there was some inspiration from the last shot of The Graduate, when Mike Nichols was too busy to shoot what was basically just pointing the camera at Katharine Ross and Dustin Hoffman at the back of bus, so he had somebody else do it and told them, "just say cut". The guy forgot to do it, which is why it's a long lingering take instead of a freeze frame, but the show of them looking so happy in the beginning is tough to hold for a long time and those smiles start to fade, leading to one of the most iconic shots in Hollywood history.

Ti West is such an amazing director both Pearl and X were amazing movies I love how Pearl has so many similarties to Carrie I am really excited to see Maxxxine because Mia Goth is such an incredible actress and very talented I loved that 8 minute speech monologue and the way she held her smile for 5 minutes straight the "I'm a star" is such an Iconic line and I am really happy that these movies were created
