It’s a shame that none of them flopped as hard as they should have compared to the other garbage movies of recent year.
Even Madame Web could look green if you ignore that likely insane amount of marketing we all saw for it.
But Sony manages to just keep Morbin all over the place and doesn’t quite see the punishment for it so what do I know.
Nice! That last frame before the lighting shift is so wild to look at all the little details… Then blam! No background for you!
And “in home massages” where that means the CEO will come over and massage you if you are pretty and they have a fake promotion to dangle over them.
Well that’s interesting…
Been a while since I’ve seen anything compared to Kung Fu Hustle
The other main character advocates for committing suicide as the answer to their predicament.
All bodies feel like a prison. They get old and ache some don’t provide the right chemicals or their brains hurt them. It’s not a problem only belonging to the trans community and the other main character seems predatory while the main character is beyond reach and does absolutely nothing the whole film.
I can relate to the message but the message was bad from my perspective and the execution not better. Maybe because it’s so incredibly pointed that I don’t get it but that doesn’t make it any better that it’s for a specific audience and everyone else is left stranded. I got the message I just thought it poorly faced it.
Long legs:
I think it’s trying to hard. It clearly wants to be a satanist movie and hit all the shock factor of it to make the audience gasp. But a spectacle film where it keeps going out of the way to call itself that feels self feliciating in the way that Nope kinda failed.
Plus the twist is weak and it just explains everything for you at the end in a weird way then drips you off at the climax of the film, then another wino to camera and done.
I felt no tension or fear the whole movie.
Why do you like it so much? I really don’t enjoy it though I can respect the cinematography and overall composition of it I find the film itself not worth recommending.
I worry the movie won’t be able to have staying power.
It was so good and I enjoyed the movie greatly but it’s clearly and very much for the moment film. Touching on the nostalgia and emotions of the end of an entire collective universe and shared history of media that won’t be for people moving forward.
So can it be movie if the year if it’s only valid for this year?
Not a judgement but a question. I’d say yes, but understand it can’t be easily recommended later.
Man this was a rough year where even the big movies that we hoped for were mostly middling at best and lots more were outright bad.
But to support something I did like
Smile 2
I actually hadn’t seen Smile 1 before seeing this but it had a really great classic horror movie vibe of tension and uncomfortableness leading up to a payoff of just downright hard horror in the style of Edgar Allen Poe or Hereditary. And a second watch is actually great for picking up a lot of clever writing.
I think it just makes for an easy sell to say that it’s full of good will and a kind story because it’s about Christmas but then you watch any of those Hallmark movies and it’s about calling men dumb and women who work terrible women who should be mothers…
Like as if the good fun of the holiday will even put whatever else they want to do or say in making a terrible piece of media to a more palatable state.
It’s like smothering a bad meal in gravy and saying well at least all you can taste is salt but here it’s Santa Claus. Definitely mostly not worth consumption.
Yup. But like every tie in Christmas special hasn’t been much better.
I think the only one tied to a pre-existing IP that was good was Pee-wee and that is easy cause he mocks everything the whole time.
It’s tradition to skip Christmas specials when rewatching pretty much any IP.
You know what’s almost guaranteed to be a bad movie? Any movies specifically written to be a Christmas movie.
Seriously it’s like wading through waist high sewage till something good drifts along.
So in likelihood of me to watch them:
It’s an excuse for the profit line not going up and a desperate squeeze for a few more dollars in profit for their quarterly that they hope their investors don’t realize cost more to fight than made so that the cash keeps rolling in.
This kind of tactic of over punishing the poor relies on the stupidity of the wealthy. I don’t get how they don’t see it as insulting.
This feels like a completely different conversation to me just wanting fries deep fried in beef tallow again. And that you can’t find these kind of things easily out there anymore as everyone argues about being healthy.
Yeah but I want the choice without having to cook for myself sometimes.
Can we all just collectively accept death is an inevitability and eat tasty food? This need for perfection in everything we touch is killing me.
LOL the comments telling the Verge to shut it’s mouth.
Also man France loves piracy. I apparently need to learn French better.
No shit.
Part of it is also cause we refuse to admit we are going down a wrong path and things need to change.
Heck people don’t even want to admit the “smartest” guy is actually just a grifter, because they would be wrong about something.
It’s all moronic doubling down and that’s how humanity goes.
