Started marathoning this and I'm already annoyed 2 minutes into it. Absolutely nobody thinks in this way.
Does it get better or is it going to smell its own farts the whole way through?

I hate these TV/movie titles that sound like a sentence some smug butthole would say
That makes two of us. And judging from the beginning of it, the title is a fairly good indication of what you should expect.
Female MC's inner monologue is full of fricking aphorisms and pretentious little observations.

I've seen Being John Malkovich and Synecdoche New York, both of which were so far up their own ass it's not even funny.
>Female MC
Lmalamfaoficoaaia even
Well she's the first character you see at least, no idea whether shhe keeps an important part later on.
Kaufman's shit does not require any effort to understand. It just presents itself in an incredibly smug way so that midwits can feel like they're geniuses for having enjoyed it.
>That's the entire point
Ah, I honestly thought this was first degree because that's the vibe Malkovich and Synecdoche gave me. I'll keep going and see I guess.
No no no.....
She doesn't even fricking exist you smug piece of garbage
>28
You're too far gone. Stick to Marvel.

That's the entire point, if I say anything else I might spoil it
I'm curious as to why you chose to watch this then.
Clearly you don't like his movies.
They all have his "trademark" neurotic thinking.
I mean, I just download a bunch of shit and watch it. What's the point of sticking only with comfortable shit I already know in advance fits my tastes?
Won't stop me from complaining when I end up watching movies that are unironically dishonest.
Also neuroticism is a feminine trait, which makes Kaufman a b***h. Don't @ me.
Oh God it's worse than I thought.
congrats you played yourself
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
I liked synecdoche and strongly disliked this one. With synecdoche, you had a world outside of the main character with people like his ex wife that didnt share his neurotic toxicity. This allowed the audience to see the main characters state of mind from different perspectives and enable a more informed discussion of his behavior. With I'm thinking of ending things its just unrelenting misery from every angle, start to finish.
>dislikes two films by a director
>chooses to watch a third
>complain on fourchannel.org/televisionandfilm/
Be honest, how old are you?
First Kaufman film?
The movie already beat you and you haven't made it ten minutes in
Good fricking god
Sorry I don't enjoy self-important shit that pretends to be incredibly smart when it's really not at all.
Smuggie Wojak: The Movie.
lol
it's doing that on purpose
get to the end and you'll see why
I didn't understand the ending with the whole stage play thing
It was the play he was watching the students perform at the beginning. The part he sang was a song about a loser that beats off into a mop that he pretends is a girl. The point was that he finally accepted his role on the world stage as suicidal schizoid loser.
Op fricks dogs
it's kaufkaesque
Iswydt
I cant think of one single reason for incels not to kill themselves. Not only would they be better of dead the entire world would be improved by removing their parasitic drain. Sure there are others more worthy of death then an incel, but if there is indeed no positives and if even only the slightest of negatives of keeping them around. Society would be better
This movie broke me for like a week solid
It's going to be me one day
frick you
>incels are parasites
>people who shit out children are NOT parasites
???
>???
Yes moron, the point of life is bring forth more life. You are waste, shitting out more toxic entropy for no gain. You should be culled so my grand kids grand children ad infinitum can have more time.
You're not talking about "muh point of life" but about parasitism. What's more parasitic than brining up more children into the world?
not him matter and energy can be neither created nor destroyed. I am simply reconstituting a portion of matter and energy into human forms.
Oh no, I have accidentally summoned Charlie Kaufman by making this thread!
Shoo, shoo, little israelite!
>being an anti-natalist while also being anti-semitic
how dumb are you?
Because ending it is the cowards way.
You're supposed to steep in self hatred forever, thereby causing yourself more pain which gives you more reason to hate yourself.
Repentance comes not from killing yourself but from cleansing your soul with as much pain as possible.
catholic af
This is the most self hating movie if all time
Makes Synecdoche seem feel good
Only a israelite who's five foot four could make a movie this miserable
Literally and unironically this. BIGLY this. Many such cases. Sad!
But the guy who made it isn't an incel so can it really be self hating?
Kauf is absolutely an incel he's also just rich and famous
Ask Robert Crumb about it
how can you be an incel when you're rich and famous
Because women aren't fricking you, the fricking your wealth and fame, and you're aware of it
It's ten times as demoralizing
By being a 5'4 israelite with a mutilated dick.
OP abandon this thread now or it'll be ruined and you'll never get to experience the movie how you should
Lol its not like hes missing much.
great movie and i liked it very much but i can certainly see why some people would be turned off by the car ride
if you hadn't already seen synecdoche or other Kaufman works that long car ride might make you think you're in for a waste of time
i enjoyed every second of the movie but i did go in knowing that Kaufman wouldn't let us down
N
I
What a pleb.
I hear the new Thor is out soon, OP.
Finally some HONEST filmmaking.
Yeah i hated this movie. But the main dude is literally me
she's literally me, an imaginary person
Okay I think the only way for this to be tolerable at this point, is that Jesse Plemons' character is in fact a schizoid midwit. His brain is absolutely falling apart, which is why his imagination made up this woman who's going round and round in meandering sentences, but he is an idiot, so he thinks that those are the words smart people use. The result being this completely unhinged word salad composed of a vocabulary that would be considered advanced by your average high-schooler.
Did I get it right, or is this movie irredeemable?
Jesse plemons doesn't exist either
He's the IDEALIZED version of the the fat old virgin janitor who never even made it out if his childhood bedroom
>He's the IDEALIZED version of the the fat old virgin janitor
Yeah, yeah I got this point.
Based if your first post, no, you didn't
I did. They're talking about him watching kids doing plays, and suddenly the scene shifts to the play actually happening and focusing on the janitor who's watching them play while cleaning up.
I don't think it's supposed to be subtle or hard to pick up on the fact that this is him.
the movie's ruined for you, just stop watching now
Bretty much. Plemons character is also the janitor. The entire visit to the family is a fantasy where he finally brings home a nice girl to meet the parents. The janitor is processing all of his life and what could have been before he kills himself. It is sort of kino, but the presentation is so abrasive at first and even in the end, the movie seems objectively ugly and unneeded to me.
yes he's a good example of a schizoid in film, a person who just endlessly gets lost in fantasy and in their head at the cost of real human connection and engagement with the world. Most adult schizoids who finally had to move out of their parents house are just loser janitors and security guards (or homeless who keep to themselves), but Kaufman is an intelligent literary one able to scribble out all that purple prose.
The movie is shit, OP. You don’t owe it, or the homosexuals here, any more of your time.
>the little N in the top left corner
Why are you watching this shit anon?
