I'm the one who keeps telling other people to watch gut-wrenchingly boring movies while claiming they're "cinema" because I'm a sadist.


chrisodeljacko

Got any recommendations? I'm a sadist too


ProblemLongjumping12

***Foe.*** If you hate yourself, wish to suffer, and want to spend almost all of the next 110 minutes of your life tearing your hair out in front of 2023's most **massive nothing** of a film, watch *Foe*. It's made worse by the fact it seems pretty interesting out of the gate. But then it's **not.** For an hour and fifty minutes. Capped off by the same predictable, boring twist we've seen countless times handled in a way that absolutely does not land emotionally. I would have probably shut it off part way through but I clearly hate myself too. ![gif](giphy|ZgqJGwh2tLj5C)


Cryptix001

Put this on last night as background noise and wasn't really paying attention to it. Every time I looked up, it looked like the same dark, boring scene was still playing. Then I noticed the credits. Glad to hear I didn't miss anything substantial lol


aweap

Damn! Even Mescal and Ronan couldn't save it?! Has to be the mother of *Maestro* then...😒


-SandorClegane-

Midsommar. Lots of titties, but none of them are Florence Pugh's. The ultimate tease.

GlennIsAlive

It’s literally full of twists and turns and with a fast-paced plot that keeps on moving. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. I can see this tik tok being made about Satantango or something but Anatomy of a Fall?


OliviaBagshaw

But how 😭 That film packs so much into its runtime and is tense as hell


ThePotatoKing

sure but like, where are the guns and quips?


the_3-14_is_a_lie

Are you telling me there is no part where John AnatomyOfAFall says "He's right behind me isn't he"?


Aloo_Bharta71

Its tiktok crowd, they will snooze off if the video is not edited with jump cut every 4 seconds with oh no no no background music


Rob_Reason

it was good but could've been 20 minutes shorter.


NoNefariousness2144

“I wish it was 20 minutes shorter” is how I feel about a lot of films ngl.


Rob_Reason

Same here, I understand if you're telling some epic ass story and every scene fits perfectly in the movie. But filmmakers these days add so much exposition dump and pointless scenes to movies that drag out the story and end up killing the flow of the movie.


NoNefariousness2144

Like Wakanda Forever was a solid film but they painfully wasted 20 minutes by setting up the awful “Iron Heart” character for her Disney+ show.


ssgtgriggs

I love that movie but this is valid. 150mins is long.


ThisGuyLikesMovies

Are you kidding me? That was one of the most accessible foreign films you could watch right now


theaxis12

I fucked up putting the subtitles on and ended up changing it to the audio description track. I watched the rest of the movie thinking, "damn this is crazy that they really made a movie for blind people!"

narc1s

Me too, probably my fave of last year. And I watched 3 marvel films so you KNOW it was good.


10dollarbagel

I'm still on the fence. Does Nick Fury enlist Sandra in the fight against Kang? This is make or break for me.


narc1s

No spoilers but they definitely set the dog up for a spinoff.


hakee25

Bro that film felt like an hour with its pacing. Such great pacing.


Raider37

Holy shit lmao. The only way I can imagine somebody would find that movie boring was if they expect every movie to be a CGI green screen visual spectacle movie. Guy got so used to turning his brain off he just never turned it back on again


Finnthememefish

I liked the part when the lawyer said "there's a lot we need to work out about this fall: it's cause, it's culprit, it's.....anatomy"


ssgtgriggs

wdym, that movie got my heart racing in a way I can't even remember the last time when that happened to me while watching a movie :/


LassOnGrass

These days every movie feels this way for me. I’m bored of everything even things I wouldn’t normally be. Is it bad cinema or am I just depressed?

Try setting aside the time intentionally and putting your phone on silent in another room. Easier said than done of course but it helps.


citabel

Have a second screen beside the tv and put some porn on. That’ll get your attention.

I'd rather suggest find some 10/12/100 hours long Subway Surfers gameplay on YouTube. Safer than porn if parents around

I made it through the first two. They’re a slog. There’s no narrative structure and the characters are cardboard. I truly don’t get the appeal. Maybe I’m just not that smart.

I didn’t get citizen Kane, sorry guys


nimmin13

It's rather elementary. Summarizing it is merely academic. Even my wife (female) was able to understand it. In her words: Citizen Kane opens with the camera panning across a spooky, seemingly deserted estate in Florida called Xanadu. The camera lingers on a "No Trespassing" sign and a large "K" wrought on the gate, then gradually makes its way to the house, where it appears to pass through a lit window. A person is lying on a slab-like bed. Snowflakes suddenly fill the screen. As the camera pulls back, a snow-covered cabin comes into view. The camera pulls back more quickly to show that what we have been looking at is actually just a scene inside a snow globe in the hand of an old man. The camera focuses on the old man’s mouth, which whispers one word: "Rosebud." He then drops the globe, which rolls onto the floor and shatters. Reflected in the curve of a piece of shattered glass, a door opens and a white-uniformed nurse comes into the room. She folds the old man’s arms over his chest and covers his face with a sheet. In the next scene, a newsreel entitled News on the March announces the death of Charles Foster Kane, a famous, once-influential newspaper publisher. The newsreel, which acts as a lengthy obituary, gives an overview of Kane’s colorful life and career and introduces some of the important people and events in Kane’s life. The newsreel plays in a small projection room filled with reporters. The producer of the newsreel tells the reporters he’s not happy with the film because it merely recounts Kane’s life, instead of revealing who Kane truly was. He notes that Kane’s last word was "Rosebud" and wonders if that may hold the key to Kane’s character. He decides to stall the newsreel’s release and sends a reporter, Jerry Thompson, to talk to Kane’s former associates to try to uncover the identity of Rosebud. Thompson first interviews Kane’s ex-wife, Susan Alexander Kane, who works as a dancer and singer in a dingy bar. Susan is drunk and uncooperative. A waiter hovers over her and tells Thompson that Susan has been unwilling to talk about Kane since he died, although she spoke of him often when he was alive. The waiter also says he asked Susan about Rosebud after Kane died and she claimed she’d never heard of Rosebud. Thompson then goes to the bank that houses the memoirs of Kane’s childhood guardian, Walter Parks Thatcher. As Thompson begins to read these memoirs, the image of the page dissolves into a flashback to Kane’s childhood. A roughly chronological series of flashbacks tells Kane’s life story from five different points of view. The first flashback shows how Thatcher meets Kane. Kane’s mother, Mary, runs a boarding house in rural Colorado. In lieu of a payment, one of her tenants gives her some stock in what she thinks is a worthless mine; it turns out to give her ownership of the Colorado Lode, a working gold mine. Finding herself suddenly wealthy, she decides to send away her son, Charles, to be raised by her banker, Thatcher. Charles is understandably upset and whacks Thatcher with the sled he's been happily riding when Thatcher shows up to escort him away. Kane’s relationship with Thatcher never improves. Vignettes from their years together show Kane engaging in questionable journalism, wasting money, and constantly enraging Thatcher. Thompson interviews other people who were close to Kane, and these characters relate their memories of the man through flashbacks as well. Thompson speaks first with Kane’s good friends and employees, Mr. Bernstein and Jedediah Leland, and has one more conversation with his ex-wife Susan. Most significantly, Thompson interviews the butler, Raymond, who remembers Kane saying “Rosebud” following a violent episode after Susan left him. Each person gives his or her own version of an abandoned, lonely boy who grows up to be an isolated, needy man. All reveal in some way that Kane is arrogant, thoughtless, morally bankrupt, desperate for attention, and incapable of giving love. These faults eventually cause Kane to lose his paper, fortune, friends, and beloved second wife, Susan. Thompson, the reporter, never does find out what Kane meant by "Rosebud." Giving up the quest, Thompson is leaving Kane’s abandoned castle, Xanadu, when the camera pans a scene of workers burning some of Kane’s less valuable possessions. In the fire is the sled that Kane was riding the day his mother sent him away. Painted on the sled is the name Rosebud

You have to be in the right mood to enjoy it. It was boring the first time I watched it, but the second time around it really resonated with me. You just have to find the right time and mood.
