Tag: Maika Monroe

So Stranger Things comes back today and I can’t imagine anyone cares about that because the internet is in no way obsessed with Stranger Things.  So what does Maika Monroe have to do with Stranger Things?  I don’t have a single clue!  Is she in this season’s episodes?  Was she just at the premier for some other reason?  Who knows!  It will be one of the many fascinating mysteries I can learn about this evening when I start to watch.  I’ll be on the edge of my seat.  Also stuff about the upside down but I am sure most people will be more interested in me finding out who is and isn’t on the show.  Either way, I really liked her dress at the premier because it’s red and sparkly.  And I should rewatch It Follows this weekend at some point.  Today I want to fuck Maika Monroe.

The first time I posted Maika Monroe it was really just rooted in the deep need to talk about It Follows and to get everyone to watch It Follows (minor digression, go watch It Follows.  If you haven’t seen it you really should, it is fantastic). Today I am posting her because I saw another excellent movie with her in it but she’s here because she frankly looked pretty hot in a lot of it.  She has many talents, she is not only a professional actress but also a professional Kiteboarder but apparently she has a talent for being in excellent movies because I have seen her in two so far and both rule.  Now, that’s no guarantee for the rest but for someone who has only been working for 3 years, it’s pretty damn impressive. The Guest is this interesting mix of  things and in a lot of ways it felt like a throw back to late night stuff I used to watch with friends in the 80′s but… much, much better and better made. It’s by the same guy who did You’re Next, whihc was also excellent.  So really, you guys have three movies to see from this post alone.  You lucky dogs. I am surprised I am posting her again because I thoguht it would be a one time thing but given her track record… well, we may be seeing a rising star here.  Either way, today I want to fuck Maika Monroe.

This post is about It Follows.  I saw It Follows yesterday and it has been churning around in my mind as excellent films are want to do.  So It Follows is here.  This is not a knock against Maika Monroe, indeed she is a large part of why it is so excellent, it’s just that she is also infused with my love for the movie.  I want so badly to talk about it but I also don’t want to spoil it.  I went in mostly blind, other than highly touted and ridiculously well reviewed I didn’t know anything about this movie going in.  I mean, I knew it was by the guy who mad the Myth of the American Sleepover, and I liked that movie, but that isn’t really a plot thing.  The movie was excellent, at once reminiscent of so many things but also wholly unique in how it felt. Maika Monroe was the lead, playing the pretty girl everything revolved around and she is indeed pretty but that’s not why she’s here.  She is here because the entire cast gave just excellent, naturalistic performances as teenagers and a group of friends with a lot of history but hers was the best. There are a couple moments where her acting was just awesome.  This one scene in a hospital.. it’s wordless and it is so good.  The movie is so good.  I really want ot talk about it so you know, if you’ve seen it send me an ask, we’ll talk about the movie.  Maika Monroe has now been in two things in a row that I have thought she was really good in.  She is also apparently a professional kiteboarder which is just stupid because how many things does someone need to be good at?  I don’t know, I liked the movie, I liked her performance so today I want to fuck Maika Monroe.
