cpielberg's classic film hook is absolute shit. the tone is fucked, the lost boys are ruined, tinkerbell is ugly, the sets all look like shit. score is good, hoffman is good, flick is 2/10 if i'm being genuine
release it in 2020 and the people who love it would call it pozzed shit which makes a literal fat nagger into nu-pan
That’s not hot take homosexual
The movie isn’t bad but people have been saying that sense it came out
It was often considered his worst until crystal skull
>muh critics
every 30 y/o boomer who saw it as a kid thinks it's great. the critics who panned it are now dead
Hook synthesized the young male entertainment of that time
If we take into account the genre films like the mighty ducks, sandlot, air bud, etc we begin to see the genius of Spielberg
The problem is the critics didn’t peel back the onion. they didn’t go deep and instead just looked at through the lens of “a Speilberg film”.
They dismissed the canon from which the film came and in so doing, dare I say, missed the point
That’s not hot take homosexual

>cpielberg
Okay this will now be how I always spell his name. Honestly, if I accidently ran into that child of Satan on the street I am fairly certain I would either attempt to murder him immediately or at the very least follow him for a bit and look for a chance to make him disappear into thin air never to be seen again.
Now that I think about it the list of people I would willingly break the "Thou shall not murder" commandment on sight would be as follows:
-CPielberg as mentioned
-Patton Oswalt
-Stephen Colbert
-Hanx
-Patrick Mahomes
-Every single actress I suspect of having been born with a twig and berries(Jamie Lee Curtis, Angela Bassett, Ellen Paige, Jessica Alba, Natlie Portmandu, Melissa Hargitay, I know there are like 50 more but I am blanking)
-Jayne Mansfield just because she was the hottest super old school actress but ruined it by being a Satanist
Turns out the list is actually rea;;y long oh well I will sit down and make a perma fully complete copy later I guess
Evil Dead Rise was hot shit. More than anything, it was boring and directionless. The characters were poorly written. Our first introduction to the family is them bitching at each other and being unpleasant. I assumed we were supposed to hate them. Then it did a 180 and tried to make them likeable.
The very first scene was a sequence with the camera demon leading to a fakeout jumpscare, and we leaen that it was some dude's drone. So the entire opening sequence turned out to be lying to the audience and mocking a staple of the franchise.
I thought the pooner was a prepubescent boy until I found out she was supposed to be an almost adult man. I'm pretty sure I still would have hated the movie if not for the pooner. It's impossible to know how I would have reacted, but I know my biases.
Power Rangers (2016) was a fun movie and deserved a sequel with Tommy.
those American Pie movies are not funny.
i did not laugh a single time.
This so fucking much. People shit on prometheus because the characters act dumb, but at the same time praise the thing when the character point out and hammer it into you that the thing can mimic people, so what do they do? They keep splitting up. Absolutely fucking nonsensical decision making but that gets a pass.
I get it, the practical effects are fucking great and they still hold up, but the plot contrivances are egregious and you fags need to accept that.
Also several times over the characters try their damndest to make all the wrong decisions and it takes the few actually smart ones force them in line by threat of gun violence. But I always have to hear how all of these scientists, which most of them are not, are constantly making all the right choices "but they still lose."
Kind of agree. Part of the issue is that it was poorly received when it originally released, and its revaluation since then probably overcompensates a little. I'd say the same is true of Blade Runner, yet both of these are still among my 10 favorite films.
>Twin Peaks aged like fine wine
I have no idea what Twin Peaks is about besides the obvious but it has hot women and donuts so it's a 10/10 show in this modern hellscape. The Return is horrible though I'll give you that.
It wasn't relatable humor to you? I guess you were a massive fucking loser shutin in highschool then
Twin Peaks aged like milk.
No, it's just that the genre it invented - le crime scene first episode super slow burn go off in a million directions exploring the environment instead of the plot until the last episode - has been more refined since.
I never did a pie but I tried a jar of peanut butter, a slice of ham, a banana peel, Jello, a vacuum cleaner (ouchy do not attempt), the neighor's cat's tail, and a warm wet sponge.
tried to watch one a few weeks ago and coiuld not believe hw bad it was.
granted, I'd just seen Superbad.
Still, I was just looking for a goofy comedy I could "watch" while I played on my phone, but it wasn't even suitable for that.
The Sean William Scott was the only charismatic guy in the film, the rest were forgettable and bad actors.
They were coomer bait disguised as "comedy". They went mask off with Naked Mile. In fact I wanna say the first time I jerked off was watching the first american pie.
I remember watching Boogie Nights in my aunt's basement hoping to see some tits for a quick wank before bed when I was like 12 because I read the movie synopsis and I'm assuming it's going to essentially be softcore porn and two and a half hours later I'm up in the middle of the night like "wtf did I just watch?" after seeing multiple brutal murders and just a whole lot of miserable people.
The fountain just sucks, it's too try hard for the simple story and message of love its trying to tell and instead its story is conveyed through an overly complex setting.
i concur with this opinion >no bro you just dont get it bro a spanish conquistador overcomes death by getting reincarnated and turning his dead wife into a tree bro just watch it again bro i promise its kino bro ;_;
I would take that a step further and say I think Ari Aster is the most overrated working director around right now. I don't think he's awful, but I was pretty surprised by the praise Hereditary and Midsommar got. I haven't seen Beau is Afraid, maybe that's better.
Lightyear is one of Pixar's best movies and the most original sci fi movie in decades. It's handling of the physics of extreme speeds in space make Interstellar look like an elementary school science fair project and Christopher Nolan like a child who pissed his pants because he didn't want to miss the judges.

The worst thing an Evil Dead movie could be is be boring and Rise was fucking boring. What a waste of a decent premise. I had more fun watching Demons 2 instead.
South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut is ruined by being a musical. only two of the songs are funny the entire way thru the rest are funny for like half a second then drag on for two/three minutes. it's also clear that trey and matt like musicals too much and it's cringe af.
Which of the two songs? I like Mountain Town, What Would Brian Boitano Do?, It's Easy Mkay and Blame Canada and only one of them is more than two minutes long.
[...]
I think musicals are almost exclusively shit but I liked South Park
the songs were funny, especially to sing as a kid
I think the thing with musicals is they're going to be shit if the people making them do it because one day they're spit balling and say "What if we made a musical? lol" or "What if we make this comedy a musical instead? lol". There are some really classy, entertaining musicals from yesteryear. I'm not a musical guy but Mary Poppins and White Christmas are both really fun movies with great music.
>anyone who would pick these as their most unpopular opinions probably only have opinions based on aesthetic choices that reflect on their persona rather than any sort of critical thought or emotional/personal resonance with a piece of art
yes. Wall Street is one of my favorite movies and I don't know shit about insider trading. It's aesthetic as fuck.
the tim burton batman movies are utter dogshit. especially the second one.

Tron: Legacy is one of the best movies Disney has made in 20 years and it baffles me that it didn't take off and become a franchise but I'm not complaining either. The 4400 is the most underrated drama ever. I'm still upset we'll never get an ending but not surprised because I've never met another person who has even heard of it. Mahershala Ali was one of the main characters.
Exorcist 2 is one of the best horror films ever made
Fant4stic was actually really good and deserved a sequel

Tron Legacy had a paper-thin story and the whole thing is more entertaining as a music video and as a cosplay event for opening weekend than it is as a movie. They had decades to build up hype and they squandered it. >The 4400
I'm one of the other handful of people that liked this and watched it all the way through. This is the show that got me into Summer Glau and I had a massive crush on the chick that played Mahershala Ali's wife.
They made a remake series recently but I read it sucked.
4400 is one of the only dramas I ever stuck with that long that didn't feel like sunk cost fallacy. I was legitimately still interested in where the narrative was going at the time of cancellation.

Tron has a special place in my heart from my childhood. That being said I hate how mid Tron 2 was. I wanted it to be so much more and it simply wasn't. I will support Disney making new Tron movies/series though. As long as they're not woke piles of shit like they've done to SW and MCU.
The first Alien vs Predator is not merely an acceptable contribution to the franchises, it's actually a fantastic movie that delivers in every possible way and offers exactly what one should expect from a Monster X Monster blockbuster

>Saving Private Ryan is dogshit
It's gratuitous to the point of undermining its message. Same as Schindler's List. One is less concerned with the nobility or dignity of Schindler or Tom Hank's character and is just made aware of what a colossal waste the entire thing was.
I think Showgirls is good, as in genuinely good and not so bad it's good, but I think more people have been coming around to that opinion in recent years anyway.
Showgirls got dodged because of the feminist cabal in the print media at that time was starting to exert it self
In retrospect it was a red flag that the idea a movie about titties can be bad
Of course this is a ridiculous assertion

Lol. Showgirls is a terrible movie that was only made to show off an actress that was only known for her good girl persona on Saved by the Bell. It's raunchy, which is what got coomers to watch it but that gets overshadowed by it being really edgy and with terrible acting. The only good thing about that movie is Gina Gershon. >I think more people have been coming around to that opinion
Every movie that was hated around that time gets some weird internet revival from contrarians/hipsters.
It's not that edgy, and what edginess it has is appropriate to the subject matter of the town being full of selfish people exploiting others and the life of a cabaret star not being as glamorous as the protagonist had imagined. It's also a movie about a sexual industry so the raunchiness comes with the territory.
The problem is it's a bad and cheesy movie which doesn't play well with the subject matter that it tries to tackle. In the end it feels more like it got made because the director/producer had enough money to get girls to show their tits on camera than because he had an interesting story to tell or a story he had any idea of how to tell well. There are USA Up All Night tier movies that cover all those topics and do a better job of entertaining the audience. Almost everyone that watched that movie on release did it solely to see Saved By the Bell-girl get naked and not because they thought it would be interesting beyond that.
It's nothing stellar but it's competent and I don't know why it would be hated by some. Beautifully shot. Decent pacing. Pretty fun no frills popcorn movie, that again isn't stellar but isn't bad.
I also think its subject matter of showing the toxicity of modern internet culture and social media in a slight hollywood scifi-ish twist is both smart and needed. It's like YA Running Man for a modern age. None of the villains are that shitty and none of the people are all that insufferable or stupid acting, unlike most modern movies. IDK, maybe I was just in a good mood when I saw it and had a good discussion after, but I don't get the hate.
It's a fun thriller until the hacker collective shows up and the entire plot becomes completely retarded. I think you just liked the Emma Roberts panty scenes.
Maybe it's because I had it hyped up, but Pulp Fiction isn't all that amazing, it's like a 6 or 7/10, 7.5/10 at most, and I enjoyed Once Upon a Time in Hollywood more
Theres parts where it gets a little pretentious and it just needs to move along. The diner scene, any bit with butches gf, and dead nagger storage come to mind.
Sylvester Stallone's performance in the first Rocky is as good as any actor in any movie ever made and the fact that he wrote the screenplay, turned down six figures for the rights, and refused to make it unless he was starring in it makes the story that much more compelling. The first Rocky for that matter is an all time drama. It's not a sports movie, that's what the sequels were. It's an inspiring character study with a touching romance and a 10/10 score. I can't imagine a single actor replacing anyone in this movie. It's a very popular movie so I won't call it "underrated" but Sly and the film itself don't get nearly enough credit for how beautiful that first one is because of how campy and silly the sequels ended up being.
I was all ready to be “you are all wrong” about Alien 3. But after Chucky D goes down, it completely falls apart. That whole series of scenes trying to get the alien into the smelter were just laughable.
It’s a shame, too. It could’ve been great.
4 is definitely one of the most popular, if not the most popular, and it's a fun movie so it's not hard to see why, but I think the original is still generally regarded as the best by most.
Pretty much everyone likes the first movie. Pt4 gets more discussions because it's a fun movie with more parts to highlight and debate. Any discussion about the first movie would just be anons jerking each other off.
I want a movie equivalent of that pic. Like the ending of the one. >inb4 John wick
No cause he actually has allies and doesn't really disagree with anyone it's just a fight for survival
1. Film grain is a meme, halation is far more important for getting the cinematic look.
2. A modern lens with a sharp focus on real film looks more like digitalshit than a vintage lens with a soft focus on a digital camera.
>Mission Impossible 2 is fucking kino >Down Periscope is fucking kino >Firefox is fucking kino >Footloose remake is fucking kino >Miss Congeniality is fucking kino
The Godfather is shit. Scarface is stupid. Mafia movies were just proto-capeshit for gen X, and Westerns were capeshit for boomers. Also the prequels and Snyder are kino
Yes and I enjoyed the Dollars trilogy also, nagger. All of these things are capeshit because they are a power fantasy and it's ridiculous to me that gen X or boomer directors think they're above Snyder when his films are objectively better than theirs
>Same orange and blue lighting everything has >CGI >generic sky laser >shots that don't directly feature Superman could be taking from any sci-fi movie in the past ten years

Star Wars was never good. The quality didn't change that much between the originals, the sequels and the prequels. They're all just crappy space operas with terrible writing and cheesy effects, and Alec Guinness knew it.
I hate se7en. It's complete garbage from top to bottom. The characters are all terrible and it's probably the worst plot I've ever seen on the silver screen. There's not nearly enough gore to save it. It's a fucking Law and Order episode, but more boring.
thanks for making me not feel insane. I thought it was a slog to get through, but everyone of my friends loves it
It's really bad. Carried kicking and screaming by Pitt, Spacey, and Freeman. Even then the most memorable scene in your drama thriller is "WHAT'S IN THE BOX!?" not because of the twist but because the whole thing reads so comically. Completely forgettable edgelord serial killer schtick. Le 7 Deadly Sins.
I honestly think the movie falls off hard the second spacey's character gets involved.
It works far better at a "what the fuck am I looking at" crime scene movie than it does whatever fucking schlock seven deadly sins saw-precursor it turned into.
I think Exorcist III Legion basically did everything Se7en wanted to do better.
But the scene where he's shocked that the government keeps a record of everybody's library checkouts is a quaint reminder of a time before big data was accepted as part of life.
The only good PoC movie is the first one and it's nearly perfect. Davie Jones was cool but should have just been in his own IP somehow. Even the second one which everyone says is the best isn't very good. Everyone feels like they're doing a phoned in voiceover for the accompanying PS2 game compared to their performances in the first one. Jack is the worst. He feels like one of those costumed people at Disney World. Or maybe it's Elizabeth who becomes a badass, wise cracking pirate swashbuckler by the end. How fucking boring that our three main characters all basically act the same by the end of the series. I enjoyed them all to some extent as a teenager when they came out but I tried to watch the second one recently and it's so bad in the first 15 minutes I couldn't do it. Barbossa coming back was the coolest part of any of the sequels but for what? I can't remember a single thing he does after that. Can't stress enough how much I love the first one though.
If you wouldn't rewatch a movie then you either didn't actually like that movie or it was actually bad. Along those lines, if you watched a movie on a PC with earbuds/headphones, then you didn't actually watch the movie.
>if you watched a movie on a PC with earbuds/headphones, then you didn't actually watch the movie.
Fuck you Lynch I do what I want, and I don't want to wake my parents.
>If you wouldn't rewatch a movie then you either didn't actually like that movie or it was actually bad.
Hard disagree. Some movies are so clearly etched in my mind that I can go a very long time without feeling the urge to rewatch it. I can see the entire thing in my head.
Mafia movies are incredibly boring compared to other crime movies. The Italian mob seems so fucking stuffy and dull. The Godfather and Goodfellas are competently made but the subject matter is incredibly uninteresting to me
I agree. It's the only one that actually delivered the "gritty" bond they promised, all the films that follow are cornball memberberries shit and craig got way too old after qos.
I genuinely enjoyed that he didn't get with the girl (the hot brown one) because both of them were too traumatized or bent on revenge to be into each other.

It's also nice and short.
it's also the only Daniel Craig bond where we get to see him in his prime. in casino royale he was still green, and everything from Skyfall on digs way too heavily into the "old and useless mi6" story arc. I also appreciate how they didn't rely on any of the classic bond tropes, and they only play the theme song once during the whole movie and it's after the car chase at the beginning, and it's just a few notes. even the main antagonist is entirely plausible, he isn't some scarfaced super villain. some of the editing however is pretty atrocious.
apparently not, every homosexual on the planet it seems tells you to watch brotherhood and that it's the "best anime ever", it's number 1 on myanimelist. its a joke, brotherhood is generic shonen slop.

I can understand normie praise for them but it's always shocked me how many people I knew that had played video games their entire lives heaped praise on the visuals. Literally just really high quality video game cutscenes. The planet itself was ugly and all the alien designs were ugly. It looked like one of those Discovery Channel shows that showed what an alien world might look like from like 2008 or what Earth's life might look like in a million years. And who thought cat teeth, blue skin, and offputting slenderman proportions was a good idea? I can't believe how much porn there is of those gross things.
I know all the alien design stuff is completely subjective but I really feel like a lot of the hype for the first one was objectively because the last CGI movie most people had seen was Toy Story 2.
Normalfags always value visual fidelity over art direction, video games are a great example. i.e Ocarina of Time looks better than nu god of war but people will think you’re insane for saying that because it’s lower poly and less realistic
Tales from Earthsea is really enjoyable. A lot happens to keep you on your toes but nothing overwhelming, great acting, great soundtrack, the works. Aside from the ending I've zero idea why everyone hates it.
Not really, women don't do any of that, nor do men, it's all israeli sophistry inserted into modern universities and pushed into mass and social media.
>yeah, they're two of the biggest movies ever made. they are good, and the numbers reflect that. >not an edgy opinion
It's weird because I'm the only person I know who really loves the movies. Everyone else hates them or doesn't care for them.
Hell, the only place I've ever seen people saying they love the Avatar movies are in the Avatar threads here.
Maybe it's just that those that hate the movies yell louder than those who love the movies.
>Avatars were, and did because Cameron is a great director and he makes great popular films.
I'd also add that with the exception of Piranha 2 (which he basically was drafted to become director of) he's never made a bad movie. All his movies have been successes in one form or another and he actually advances film-making with each movie he makes.

Finally. Goodfellas is overrated as fuck and garlic doesn’t liquify
This movie is one of the best comedies ever made; perfect casting, gorgeous cinematography, iconic performances, brilliant script, timeless themes, and a highly unique and fully-fleshed out setting and world.
One of the best films of the last 15 years. In an age where everything getting released is safe slop this movie is such a shock to the senses. It's beautifully shot and masterfully done. Film twitter just couldn't handle it and wanted to be outraged without objectively criticizing it. In 10 years it will be considered a misunderstood masterpiece.
Its not even that edgy. If it was released 15 years ago no one would be outraged by it. Modern sensibilities can't handle art that shocks you. They think that because they were shocked by the movie it's bad not that it's trying to shock you to prove a point.
I'm saying that it's edgy for the sake of being edgy, in that it goes for shock value over thematic/narrative depth and character development. It both distracts from and impairs the story and character.
The fetus scene was so fucking dumb and over the top I found it hilarious.
Fair points, I thought there was a ton of narrative depth. I agree that there are a few scenes that make you roll your eyes but it's a 3 hour film and it seems to me when that when people criticize the film they only want to focus on those few scenes. It's a psychological thriller set in 1950's hollywood about a starlet who was abused to the point of suicide. The problem is that film twitter wanted a girlboss marilyn monroe movie when really they got a david lynch-esque nightmare. It's really a bold film that is executed brilliantly from a technical standpoint. The cinematography is some of the most beautiful I have ever seen.
>opinions based on aesthetic choices that reflect on their persona >personal resonance with a piece of art
A person might claim to enjoy something purely for the social cachet while having no genuine appreciation for it but it doesn't work the other way around. Even when you enjoy something on its own merits, you're implicitly in agreement that enjoying that thing is meritorious.
Zack Snyder's DC movies, particularly MOS and BvS were amazing. Everything Marvel made that entire era was boring predictable repetitive and not nearly as pretty to look at
Vanilla Sky is a good movie, if only for the message at the end. Tom needs to face his fears and jump off the skyscraper to end the lucid dream he’s been stuck in for the past 100 or so years. Before he jumps he talks to his oneitis and it’s a really emotional scene where the main character decides to throw away a so-called perfect “life”, instead opting to go back to the real world. The message I took way “don’t get lost in your dreams, the real world is there and you need to experience it”. I’m someone who daydreams a lot and this ending always meant a lot to me.

Ya some masterpiece. Berserk is overrated
proved his point
Actually no, berserk is overrated, his opinion is literally part of the herd. Only I'm the one brave enough to state that berserk is mid. You should be praising ME
Ad Astra is a masterpiece
It is, it's just that nobody saw it
>Daddy issues IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
no
I liked it but it's certainly not a masterpiece.
cpielberg's classic film hook is absolute shit. the tone is fucked, the lost boys are ruined, tinkerbell is ugly, the sets all look like shit. score is good, hoffman is good, flick is 2/10 if i'm being genuine
release it in 2020 and the people who love it would call it pozzed shit which makes a literal fat nagger into nu-pan
Holy shit, what a homosexual.
YOU guys are BASED and I agree with YOU
Hook was critically disliked, lots of people share your opinion. I don't know who told you it is a classic.
>muh critics
every 30 y/o boomer who saw it as a kid thinks it's great. the critics who panned it are now dead
Because it’s actually not bad
Bangerang!
>the critics who panned it are now dead
Hook synthesized the young male entertainment of that time
If we take into account the genre films like the mighty ducks, sandlot, air bud, etc we begin to see the genius of Spielberg
The problem is the critics didn’t peel back the onion. they didn’t go deep and instead just looked at through the lens of “a Speilberg film”.
They dismissed the canon from which the film came and in so doing, dare I say, missed the point
shut the fuck up moviebob. go eat a small amount of mcdonalds
half-baked take, and that's being generous.
have another toke, dude.
yeah hated it as a kid, shit was mid af
That’s not hot take homosexual
The movie isn’t bad but people have been saying that sense it came out
It was often considered his worst until crystal skull
Nobody thinks Hook is anything more than average.
nice try gaslighting me
>classic film hook
even Spielbergo hates it
no one liked that film then, and no one likes it now
>cpielberg
Okay this will now be how I always spell his name. Honestly, if I accidently ran into that child of Satan on the street I am fairly certain I would either attempt to murder him immediately or at the very least follow him for a bit and look for a chance to make him disappear into thin air never to be seen again.
Now that I think about it the list of people I would willingly break the "Thou shall not murder" commandment on sight would be as follows:
-CPielberg as mentioned
-Patton Oswalt
-Stephen Colbert
-Hanx
-Patrick Mahomes
-Every single actress I suspect of having been born with a twig and berries(Jamie Lee Curtis, Angela Bassett, Ellen Paige, Jessica Alba, Natlie Portmandu, Melissa Hargitay, I know there are like 50 more but I am blanking)
-Jayne Mansfield just because she was the hottest super old school actress but ruined it by being a Satanist
Turns out the list is actually rea;;y long oh well I will sit down and make a perma fully complete copy later I guess

Anon, Jayne Mansfield died in the 60s. Also, why Mahomes?
Power Rangers (2016) was a fun movie and deserved a sequel with Tommy.

The Thing is overrated
(2011)
I really hope you die in a fire
It is overrated but think of all the garbage that has come out since and it seems like a perfect masterpiece when compared to.
This was mine too. It’s good but I swear Carpenter must pay fags all over the internet to shill for him nonstop.
It's objectively not. Most people proclaim it as a horror classic and one of the best movies ever shot and, again, objectively, it is both.
It's probably the best horror movie of all time.
Not even the best sci-fi horror movie.
Name the best horror movie and the best scifi horror movie
Agreed. It's not even Carpenter's best film.
This so fucking much. People shit on prometheus because the characters act dumb, but at the same time praise the thing when the character point out and hammer it into you that the thing can mimic people, so what do they do? They keep splitting up. Absolutely fucking nonsensical decision making but that gets a pass.
I get it, the practical effects are fucking great and they still hold up, but the plot contrivances are egregious and you fags need to accept that.
Also several times over the characters try their damndest to make all the wrong decisions and it takes the few actually smart ones force them in line by threat of gun violence. But I always have to hear how all of these scientists, which most of them are not, are constantly making all the right choices "but they still lose."
>t. Das Ding
the only reason you think that is because autistic zoomies have been shilling it constantly so they can hangout in the threads checking digits
Hold still while I flamethrower you.
This is the one
Kind of agree. Part of the issue is that it was poorly received when it originally released, and its revaluation since then probably overcompensates a little. I'd say the same is true of Blade Runner, yet both of these are still among my 10 favorite films.
Kind of agree, but it's still better than 99% of horror movies out there.
Twin Peaks aged like milk.
Yes, and it is most delicious cheese.
>Twin Peaks aged like fine wine
I have no idea what Twin Peaks is about besides the obvious but it has hot women and donuts so it's a 10/10 show in this modern hellscape. The Return is horrible though I'll give you that.

those American Pie movies are not funny.
i did not laugh a single time.
It wasn't relatable humor to you? I guess you were a massive fucking loser shutin in highschool then
No, it's just that the genre it invented - le crime scene first episode super slow burn go off in a million directions exploring the environment instead of the plot until the last episode - has been more refined since.
>It wasn't relatable humor to you?
no. sticking my dick in a pie is not relatable.
I never did a pie but I tried a jar of peanut butter, a slice of ham, a banana peel, Jello, a vacuum cleaner (ouchy do not attempt), the neighor's cat's tail, and a warm wet sponge.
tried to watch one a few weeks ago and coiuld not believe hw bad it was.
granted, I'd just seen Superbad.
Still, I was just looking for a goofy comedy I could "watch" while I played on my phone, but it wasn't even suitable for that.
The Sean William Scott was the only charismatic guy in the film, the rest were forgettable and bad actors.
They were coomer bait disguised as "comedy". They went mask off with Naked Mile. In fact I wanna say the first time I jerked off was watching the first american pie.
I remember watching Boogie Nights in my aunt's basement hoping to see some tits for a quick wank before bed when I was like 12 because I read the movie synopsis and I'm assuming it's going to essentially be softcore porn and two and a half hours later I'm up in the middle of the night like "wtf did I just watch?" after seeing multiple brutal murders and just a whole lot of miserable people.

I thought The Grudge (2004) was a good horror movie. Everybody I know hates it.
I thought Splice (2009) was absolute dog shit. Everybody I know loves it.
I agree with you on the Grudge. It’s a great film, and one of the scariest I’ve seen.
The fountain just sucks, it's too try hard for the simple story and message of love its trying to tell and instead its story is conveyed through an overly complex setting.
i concur with this opinion
>no bro you just dont get it bro a spanish conquistador overcomes death by getting reincarnated and turning his dead wife into a tree bro just watch it again bro i promise its kino bro ;_;
It exposes Aranonfsky as a hack. He's done the same fade to white cut ending like 10 times now. No creativity, originality, or feel.
Now stop paying those people and see how many are left
Hereditary was extremely dull.
Wew lad
I would take that a step further and say I think Ari Aster is the most overrated working director around right now. I don't think he's awful, but I was pretty surprised by the praise Hereditary and Midsommar got. I haven't seen Beau is Afraid, maybe that's better.
I didn't like Hereditary or Midsommar but I really liked Beau is Afraid. Felt like he's better suited to weird dark comedy rather than horror.
kubrick, spielberg, tarantula, nolan are all shit
none of asters films are good and hereditary is a modernized rip off of the witch with terrible acting
not only dull but the ending was completely botched
Lightyear is one of Pixar's best movies and the most original sci fi movie in decades. It's handling of the physics of extreme speeds in space make Interstellar look like an elementary school science fair project and Christopher Nolan like a child who pissed his pants because he didn't want to miss the judges.
Evil Dead Rise was hot shit. More than anything, it was boring and directionless. The characters were poorly written. Our first introduction to the family is them bitching at each other and being unpleasant. I assumed we were supposed to hate them. Then it did a 180 and tried to make them likeable.
The very first scene was a sequence with the camera demon leading to a fakeout jumpscare, and we leaen that it was some dude's drone. So the entire opening sequence turned out to be lying to the audience and mocking a staple of the franchise.
I thought the pooner was a prepubescent boy until I found out she was supposed to be an almost adult man. I'm pretty sure I still would have hated the movie if not for the pooner. It's impossible to know how I would have reacted, but I know my biases.
The worst thing an Evil Dead movie could be is be boring and Rise was fucking boring. What a waste of a decent premise. I had more fun watching Demons 2 instead.

South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut is ruined by being a musical. only two of the songs are funny the entire way thru the rest are funny for like half a second then drag on for two/three minutes. it's also clear that trey and matt like musicals too much and it's cringe af.
Which of the two songs? I like Mountain Town, What Would Brian Boitano Do?, It's Easy Mkay and Blame Canada and only one of them is more than two minutes long.
uncle fuckah and Kyle's mums a bitch, all the other songs fucken suck bro ur kidding yourself
South park movie came first fat homosexual nagger
>it's also clear that trey and matt like musicals too much
Avenue Q and Book of Mormon didnt clue you in?
I kinda agree with you. I'm not sure what age I was but the first time I watched it, I realized I hated musicals.
I think the thing with musicals is they're going to be shit if the people making them do it because one day they're spit balling and say "What if we made a musical? lol" or "What if we make this comedy a musical instead? lol". There are some really classy, entertaining musicals from yesteryear. I'm not a musical guy but Mary Poppins and White Christmas are both really fun movies with great music.
Thats a good point. I don't mind older musicals but anything 90s on makes me want to kill myself.
I think musicals are almost exclusively shit but I liked South Park
the songs were funny, especially to sing as a kid

Tron: Legacy is one of the best movies Disney has made in 20 years and it baffles me that it didn't take off and become a franchise but I'm not complaining either. The 4400 is the most underrated drama ever. I'm still upset we'll never get an ending but not surprised because I've never met another person who has even heard of it. Mahershala Ali was one of the main characters.
I watched and really enjoyed this when it was first coming out.
4400 is one of the only dramas I ever stuck with that long that didn't feel like sunk cost fallacy. I was legitimately still interested in where the narrative was going at the time of cancellation.
Tron Legacy had a paper-thin story and the whole thing is more entertaining as a music video and as a cosplay event for opening weekend than it is as a movie. They had decades to build up hype and they squandered it.
>The 4400
I'm one of the other handful of people that liked this and watched it all the way through. This is the show that got me into Summer Glau and I had a massive crush on the chick that played Mahershala Ali's wife.
They made a remake series recently but I read it sucked.
>Tron Legacy had a paper-thin story and the whole thing is more entertaining as a music video and as a cosplay event for opening weekend than it is as a movie. They had decades to build up hype and they squandered it.
Tron has a special place in my heart from my childhood. That being said I hate how mid Tron 2 was. I wanted it to be so much more and it simply wasn't. I will support Disney making new Tron movies/series though. As long as they're not woke piles of shit like they've done to SW and MCU.
I watched it and talked about it for years to anyone I know
Though season 2 takes a dip
The first Alien vs Predator is not merely an acceptable contribution to the franchises, it's actually a fantastic movie that delivers in every possible way and offers exactly what one should expect from a Monster X Monster blockbuster
Exorcist 2 is one of the best horror films ever made
Fant4stic was actually really good and deserved a sequel
Saving Private Ryan is dogshit and the worst movie Spielberg ever made.
>Saving Private Ryan is dogshit
It's gratuitous to the point of undermining its message. Same as Schindler's List. One is less concerned with the nobility or dignity of Schindler or Tom Hank's character and is just made aware of what a colossal waste the entire thing was.
I don't like any of Spielberg's serious movies, should've stayed to making blockbusters rather than trying to win Oscars.
Hell yes. He had 2 careers. First one ended with JP.
>Saving Private Ryan is dogshit
agreed. it's a totally mid war film wrapped in a shiny package
it's much better as an action film with zero dialogue
the tim burton batman movies are utter dogshit. especially the second one.
I think Showgirls is good, as in genuinely good and not so bad it's good, but I think more people have been coming around to that opinion in recent years anyway.
you did see the hilarious scene where she's having a seizure while fucking the guy in a pool, yeah
>ACTING
Yeah, I think it has a couple of bad scenes, and that one definitely isn't the worst, but the movie overall is good. It's not amazing, but it's good.
Showgirls got dodged because of the feminist cabal in the print media at that time was starting to exert it self
In retrospect it was a red flag that the idea a movie about titties can be bad
Of course this is a ridiculous assertion
Lol. Showgirls is a terrible movie that was only made to show off an actress that was only known for her good girl persona on Saved by the Bell. It's raunchy, which is what got coomers to watch it but that gets overshadowed by it being really edgy and with terrible acting. The only good thing about that movie is Gina Gershon.
>I think more people have been coming around to that opinion
Every movie that was hated around that time gets some weird internet revival from contrarians/hipsters.
It's not that edgy, and what edginess it has is appropriate to the subject matter of the town being full of selfish people exploiting others and the life of a cabaret star not being as glamorous as the protagonist had imagined. It's also a movie about a sexual industry so the raunchiness comes with the territory.
The problem is it's a bad and cheesy movie which doesn't play well with the subject matter that it tries to tackle. In the end it feels more like it got made because the director/producer had enough money to get girls to show their tits on camera than because he had an interesting story to tell or a story he had any idea of how to tell well. There are USA Up All Night tier movies that cover all those topics and do a better job of entertaining the audience. Almost everyone that watched that movie on release did it solely to see Saved By the Bell-girl get naked and not because they thought it would be interesting beyond that.
None of Kubrick's movies are particularly good.

Fifth Element is one of the worst big budget movies ever made
Well that's why it's praised only as a cult classic.
The Last Jedi is the best Star Wars.
Wouldn't say it's the best but people hate it for the wrong reasons.
Nerve (2016)
It's nothing stellar but it's competent and I don't know why it would be hated by some. Beautifully shot. Decent pacing. Pretty fun no frills popcorn movie, that again isn't stellar but isn't bad.
I also think its subject matter of showing the toxicity of modern internet culture and social media in a slight hollywood scifi-ish twist is both smart and needed. It's like YA Running Man for a modern age. None of the villains are that shitty and none of the people are all that insufferable or stupid acting, unlike most modern movies. IDK, maybe I was just in a good mood when I saw it and had a good discussion after, but I don't get the hate.
It's a fun thriller until the hacker collective shows up and the entire plot becomes completely retarded.
I think you just liked the Emma Roberts panty scenes.

Maybe it's because I had it hyped up, but Pulp Fiction isn't all that amazing, it's like a 6 or 7/10, 7.5/10 at most, and I enjoyed Once Upon a Time in Hollywood more
I love Uma Thurman in the Kill Bills but her whole bit and performance in Pulp Fiction are a slog and easily the worst part.
>her whole bit and performance in Pulp Fiction are a slog
There really are all types out there.
Theres parts where it gets a little pretentious and it just needs to move along. The diner scene, any bit with butches gf, and dead nagger storage come to mind.
Sylvester Stallone's performance in the first Rocky is as good as any actor in any movie ever made and the fact that he wrote the screenplay, turned down six figures for the rights, and refused to make it unless he was starring in it makes the story that much more compelling. The first Rocky for that matter is an all time drama. It's not a sports movie, that's what the sequels were. It's an inspiring character study with a touching romance and a 10/10 score. I can't imagine a single actor replacing anyone in this movie. It's a very popular movie so I won't call it "underrated" but Sly and the film itself don't get nearly enough credit for how beautiful that first one is because of how campy and silly the sequels ended up being.
Alien 3
I agree with this too. I love the first Rocky film mostly for the romance plotline. It's about autistic people finding love, not boxing.
>Alien 3
Based
I was all ready to be “you are all wrong” about Alien 3. But after Chucky D goes down, it completely falls apart. That whole series of scenes trying to get the alien into the smelter were just laughable.
It’s a shame, too. It could’ve been great.
You're correct about all of this but I don't think any of it is controversial at all.
Maybe not controversial but I feel like 99% of the collective perception and discussion of the Rocky movies is really about Rocky 3 and 4.
4 is definitely one of the most popular, if not the most popular, and it's a fun movie so it's not hard to see why, but I think the original is still generally regarded as the best by most.
Pretty much everyone likes the first movie. Pt4 gets more discussions because it's a fun movie with more parts to highlight and debate. Any discussion about the first movie would just be anons jerking each other off.
I want a movie equivalent of that pic. Like the ending of the one.

The Godfather is shit. Scarface is stupid. Mafia movies were just proto-capeshit for gen X, and Westerns were capeshit for boomers. Also the prequels and Snyder are kino
Peak cringe
>Westerns were capeshit for boomers
>Also I love capeshit
So what's your point?
Yes and I enjoyed the Dollars trilogy also, nagger. All of these things are capeshit because they are a power fantasy and it's ridiculous to me that gen X or boomer directors think they're above Snyder when his films are objectively better than theirs
You are so obviously 16 it's not even funny
>his films are objectively better than theirs
No one over the age of 18 actually believes this.
BvS is better than Scarface.

Star Wars was never good. The quality didn't change that much between the originals, the sequels and the prequels. They're all just crappy space operas with terrible writing and cheesy effects, and Alec Guinness knew it.
I hate se7en. It's complete garbage from top to bottom. The characters are all terrible and it's probably the worst plot I've ever seen on the silver screen. There's not nearly enough gore to save it. It's a fucking Law and Order episode, but more boring.
thanks for making me not feel insane. I thought it was a slog to get through, but everyone of my friends loves it
I like the set design and atmosphere of the movie but if the plot doesn't really survive more than the first viewing

Hiding Frenchman (get him lads)
Actual Frenchman (at least he's honest, let's give him a breather)
It's really bad. Carried kicking and screaming by Pitt, Spacey, and Freeman. Even then the most memorable scene in your drama thriller is "WHAT'S IN THE BOX!?" not because of the twist but because the whole thing reads so comically. Completely forgettable edgelord serial killer schtick. Le 7 Deadly Sins.
I honestly think the movie falls off hard the second spacey's character gets involved.
It works far better at a "what the fuck am I looking at" crime scene movie than it does whatever fucking schlock seven deadly sins saw-precursor it turned into.
I think Exorcist III Legion basically did everything Se7en wanted to do better.
But the scene where he's shocked that the government keeps a record of everybody's library checkouts is a quaint reminder of a time before big data was accepted as part of life.
The only good PoC movie is the first one and it's nearly perfect. Davie Jones was cool but should have just been in his own IP somehow. Even the second one which everyone says is the best isn't very good. Everyone feels like they're doing a phoned in voiceover for the accompanying PS2 game compared to their performances in the first one. Jack is the worst. He feels like one of those costumed people at Disney World. Or maybe it's Elizabeth who becomes a badass, wise cracking pirate swashbuckler by the end. How fucking boring that our three main characters all basically act the same by the end of the series. I enjoyed them all to some extent as a teenager when they came out but I tried to watch the second one recently and it's so bad in the first 15 minutes I couldn't do it. Barbossa coming back was the coolest part of any of the sequels but for what? I can't remember a single thing he does after that. Can't stress enough how much I love the first one though.
The Lone Ranger is the 3rd best Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
If you wouldn't rewatch a movie then you either didn't actually like that movie or it was actually bad. Along those lines, if you watched a movie on a PC with earbuds/headphones, then you didn't actually watch the movie.
>if you watched a movie on a PC with earbuds/headphones, then you didn't actually watch the movie.
Fuck you Lynch I do what I want, and I don't want to wake my parents.
>If you wouldn't rewatch a movie then you either didn't actually like that movie or it was actually bad.
Hard disagree. Some movies are so clearly etched in my mind that I can go a very long time without feeling the urge to rewatch it. I can see the entire thing in my head.
Mafia movies are incredibly boring compared to other crime movies. The Italian mob seems so fucking stuffy and dull. The Godfather and Goodfellas are competently made but the subject matter is incredibly uninteresting to me
Event Horizon and Joker are overrated.
I'll go one further, Pandorum is a better film than Event Horizon
not controversial, except maybe on Cinemaphile
Escape from LA is one of best action movies ever made
Sacre Bleu! I hate all American movies, anyone else, fellow Americans?
quantum of solace is actually the best modern bond film
Literally the shittiest take I've ever seen on this board
I agree. It's the only one that actually delivered the "gritty" bond they promised, all the films that follow are cornball memberberries shit and craig got way too old after qos.
I genuinely enjoyed that he didn't get with the girl (the hot brown one) because both of them were too traumatized or bent on revenge to be into each other.
It's also nice and short.
it's also the only Daniel Craig bond where we get to see him in his prime. in casino royale he was still green, and everything from Skyfall on digs way too heavily into the "old and useless mi6" story arc. I also appreciate how they didn't rely on any of the classic bond tropes, and they only play the theme song once during the whole movie and it's after the car chase at the beginning, and it's just a few notes. even the main antagonist is entirely plausible, he isn't some scarfaced super villain. some of the editing however is pretty atrocious.
Kill Bill is worthless. 0/10.
Take it back
MIB Int was actually good
Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) is better than Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
Everyone knows that
apparently not, every homosexual on the planet it seems tells you to watch brotherhood and that it's the "best anime ever", it's number 1 on myanimelist. its a joke, brotherhood is generic shonen slop.

> Arguably too much time spent on romance (didn't bother me the last time I watched it)
> CGI for the babies doesn't hold up.
PROS!
> God tier score & opening credits.
> Great first attack on NYC, handled in a realistic disaster manner similar to how Gamera 3 handled it although less bleakly.
> Fantastic submarine battle.
> Good Helicopter chase.
> Cool military porn that isn't ever "America fuck yeah-ish"
> Godzilla's death scene is extremely well done regardless of the disappointment of him being killed by normal missiles.
> Godzilla's classic nuclear origin & nature remains intact they just swapped America for France.
> Decent to good overall cast. Reno is solid. Broderick is a bit meek but still a likable enough non annoying lead.
> Zilla's design is solid just not for being Godzilla.
> CGI for the adult Godzilla holds up reasonably well.
> Practical effects for the babies is decent (their heads are a bit oversized).
External opportunities it presented & took advantage of!
> Spawned the fantastic animated series.
External opportunities it denied us!
> It assfucked us out of the beautiful looking Stan Winston (rip) Godzilla movie.

The directors cut of blade runner is the worst version, Ridley Scott misunderstands his own movie by making Deckard a replicant
Aronofsky is the biggest hack of all time and has never made a good movie
4:3 is the most kino aspect ratio
>Midsommer is pro-white and anti-zog
Not intentionally.
I think it was. Hereditary is about the horror of discovering you’re part of an ancient satanic bloodline, Beau is about the horror of having a israeli mother, Something strange about the Johnsons is about a father molesting his son. I think Ari Aster hates his heritage
I wasn’t aware of that, people just always say “watch the directors cut”
>I think Ari Aster hates his heritage
lol
In that case god is guiding his hand. If a white person made the movies Ari has made they’d be called anti-semetic
All these people work for the government
The person writing the article was the one who pushed the insane Holocaust connection, Aster just said “uhhh, sure.” And then started talking about his own neuroses and pessimism.
>Ridley Scott misunderstands his own movie by making Deckard a replicant
How is this controversial when everyone else who worked on the movie agrees with you?
>4:3 is the most kino aspect ratio
based based based
>The Avatar movies are visually appalling
I can understand normie praise for them but it's always shocked me how many people I knew that had played video games their entire lives heaped praise on the visuals. Literally just really high quality video game cutscenes. The planet itself was ugly and all the alien designs were ugly. It looked like one of those Discovery Channel shows that showed what an alien world might look like from like 2008 or what Earth's life might look like in a million years. And who thought cat teeth, blue skin, and offputting slenderman proportions was a good idea? I can't believe how much porn there is of those gross things.
Nta, but opinion sure are fun.
I know all the alien design stuff is completely subjective but I really feel like a lot of the hype for the first one was objectively because the last CGI movie most people had seen was Toy Story 2.
There was a big deal about the 3D in it, though I don't remember why. I just remember it was viewed as a big technological leap.
The only cinema 3D before it was the red and blue glasses type.
Normalfags always value visual fidelity over art direction, video games are a great example. i.e Ocarina of Time looks better than nu god of war but people will think you’re insane for saying that because it’s lower poly and less realistic
>The Dark Knight is the most overrated movie of all time
dunno if this is controversial, but it's mostly correct
The movie version of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy is better than the TV series with Sir Alec Guinness
Dune was actually shit.
Tales from Earthsea is really enjoyable. A lot happens to keep you on your toes but nothing overwhelming, great acting, great soundtrack, the works. Aside from the ending I've zero idea why everyone hates it.
Alien is a better movie than Aliens.
The Room is not a bad movie. Its not a "so bad its good" movie either. Its a great film, there's nothing bad about it.
You are officially the most naggerlicous nagger who ever naggered

The Usual Suspects is shit
Barbie is about how women cause themselves, and each other, most of the problems they blame on "the patriarchy".
Not really, women don't do any of that, nor do men, it's all israeli sophistry inserted into modern universities and pushed into mass and social media.
I thought testicle neck and the period one was really funny
>What's a movie take that has you like this?
Avatar and Avatar: The Way of Water are good movies.
yeah, they're two of the biggest movies ever made. they are good, and the numbers reflect that.
not an edgy opinion
An Elephant Sitting Still is a great movie but it was never meant to make billions.
Avatars were, and did because Cameron is a great director and he makes great popular films.
>yeah, they're two of the biggest movies ever made. they are good, and the numbers reflect that.
>not an edgy opinion
It's weird because I'm the only person I know who really loves the movies. Everyone else hates them or doesn't care for them.
Hell, the only place I've ever seen people saying they love the Avatar movies are in the Avatar threads here.
Maybe it's just that those that hate the movies yell louder than those who love the movies.
>Avatars were, and did because Cameron is a great director and he makes great popular films.
I'd also add that with the exception of Piranha 2 (which he basically was drafted to become director of) he's never made a bad movie. All his movies have been successes in one form or another and he actually advances film-making with each movie he makes.
I will always defend Sucker Punch because is the closest thing we got to a jrpg/anime movie.
Transformers 3 is fucking beautiful.
Its not a controversial take here but Black Panther is not good at all. Entirely predictable, oozing pretentiousness, annoying supporting cast.
Every single "EXPLAINED" on the internet for this movie is completely wrong.
It's good movie though.
Lynches dune is an amazing movie.
Fnaf was garbage
The thing is the best horror movie of all time
Kubrick is a pretentious homosexual that doesn’t understand the books he adapts (but so is Steven king so I’ll excuse how shit the adaptation for the shining was)
I don’t care if they’re black ans white and old movies, Hitchcocks movies are boring. The birds is laughably bad
Finally. Goodfellas is overrated as fuck and garlic doesn’t liquify
This movie is one of the best comedies ever made; perfect casting, gorgeous cinematography, iconic performances, brilliant script, timeless themes, and a highly unique and fully-fleshed out setting and world.
Is this a contrarian opinion? I thought people universally agreed that this movie is peak kino, I've always loved it.
One of the best films of the last 15 years. In an age where everything getting released is safe slop this movie is such a shock to the senses. It's beautifully shot and masterfully done. Film twitter just couldn't handle it and wanted to be outraged without objectively criticizing it. In 10 years it will be considered a misunderstood masterpiece.
It's just edgy for the sake of being edgy
Its not even that edgy. If it was released 15 years ago no one would be outraged by it. Modern sensibilities can't handle art that shocks you. They think that because they were shocked by the movie it's bad not that it's trying to shock you to prove a point.
I'm saying that it's edgy for the sake of being edgy, in that it goes for shock value over thematic/narrative depth and character development. It both distracts from and impairs the story and character.
The fetus scene was so fucking dumb and over the top I found it hilarious.
Fair points, I thought there was a ton of narrative depth. I agree that there are a few scenes that make you roll your eyes but it's a 3 hour film and it seems to me when that when people criticize the film they only want to focus on those few scenes. It's a psychological thriller set in 1950's hollywood about a starlet who was abused to the point of suicide. The problem is that film twitter wanted a girlboss marilyn monroe movie when really they got a david lynch-esque nightmare. It's really a bold film that is executed brilliantly from a technical standpoint. The cinematography is some of the most beautiful I have ever seen.
>opinions based on aesthetic choices that reflect on their persona
>personal resonance with a piece of art
A person might claim to enjoy something purely for the social cachet while having no genuine appreciation for it but it doesn't work the other way around. Even when you enjoy something on its own merits, you're implicitly in agreement that enjoying that thing is meritorious.
Twilight is one of the most immersive, atmospheric movies ever (and it’s good)
yeah the first one is actually pretty great. it's moody and leans into how creepy the romance is, good music too.
David Lynch is a fucking hack that's never made a good movie.
Rebel Without a Cause is nearly unwatchable
pulp fiction sucks and I never finished it because I always fall asleep
dune part 1
its a masterpiece
Temple of Doom was a fucking great movie and doesn't deserve the hate it gets from certain people.
natural born killers, truly kino
Zack Snyder's DC movies, particularly MOS and BvS were amazing. Everything Marvel made that entire era was boring predictable repetitive and not nearly as pretty to look at
Bladerunner Deckard being a synth, not a human
but thats literally in the movie
anon
thats not a controversial opinion,
THAT IS THE PLOT
Based normie. Film fanatics will have seen all 5 versions and his comment is warranted.
Contact was romantic christlike kino
there has never been a good alien or predator movie
>but what about...
no
okay yeah but what about predator 2?
>but what about
see
yeah but that being said, what about it?
there has never been a good alien or predator movie
Batman The Dark Knight ruined a generation of men, Xillenials
for you
i kind of agree with this.
whole bunch of teen boys wanting to be the joker
Druk sucks and every alkie here that loves it missed the point of the movie
Nothing David Lynch has made is any good or worth watching.
Zoolander is a masterpiece
I don't agree, but I also don't disagree.
Scarface is better than all three godfathers combined
Portrait of a lady on fire
A Quiet Place is kino.
No I won't apologize
Did not care for the Godfather.
Was it because it insist upon itself?
No not really it was those two gigantic Ed, Edd n Eddy candy pieces they stuck inside each of Brando's cheeks, incredibly distracting
Star Wars was never good just autistic men blind by their nostalgia
Ruby Gillman was good and the villain didn't need a redemption arc.
Snowpiercer sucks
2001: A Space Odyssey is an absolute chore to get through, so is Blade Runner, I feel asleep watching both of them.
Martin Scorcese is overrated. Most of his movies are a bore. Raging Bull is crap.
Vanilla Sky is a good movie, if only for the message at the end. Tom needs to face his fears and jump off the skyscraper to end the lucid dream he’s been stuck in for the past 100 or so years. Before he jumps he talks to his oneitis and it’s a really emotional scene where the main character decides to throw away a so-called perfect “life”, instead opting to go back to the real world. The message I took way “don’t get lost in your dreams, the real world is there and you need to experience it”. I’m someone who daydreams a lot and this ending always meant a lot to me.
Looper. Watched it 3 times in theaters.
Then the director went on to make the best star wars movie
Master of Disguise is funny
You’re all just unfun
