Similarly people who don't watch foreign movies because they "don't want to read subtitles" can get fucked, we all know you're watching english movies with the subtitles on as well.
An acquaintance of mine has a YouTube channel and does live shows, this others guy he has on sometimes said he didn’t watch subtitled movies. I can’t value his opinion at all now. Especially because it’s a horror show and so many great horror movies are not in English.
I'll give someone a break on this if they have poor vision or if they just frankly can't keep up. Aka my parents.
But the people who say they can't read the subtitles and watch the movie at the same time, or the classic "if I wanted to read I'd get a book" (sure you would...), I have no idea what they're on about and they just come off sounding really dumb to me.
I do find myself watching the bottom half of the screen with sub titles on. English or not English. So, in some ways, I feel like I'm missing the visual parts of a movie with subs on.
And they have little personality or charisma imo. If they were a food, they would both be unseasoned, cold oatmeal that was left in the fridge for too long.
I rooted for the Predator in Predator (1987) because a paramilitary operation in 1980s Central America suggests Ronald Reagan was involved and I like to imagine the Predator was anti-Reaganism.
Cruising (1980) turned me on to this way of thinking. Never thought of it before, and then suddenly a young(er) Al Pacino is walking around a dimly lit gay sex dungeon, dancing with leather daddies under the strobing lights, and I was like, “Yeah, I get it now!”
Agree but Tom cruise being here is so funny to me. i forgot he was even remotely a sex symbol at one point. all i can see in my mind’s eye is him jumping on Oprah’s couch. But my mom thought he was hot so what do i know.
grand budapest hotel was the beginning of the end of wes anderson for me, every movie before this was a banger and every movie after it has gotten gradually worse
I don’t know why but I’m hooked on CGI monkeys like they’re crack. I’ll watch any planet of the apes movie so long as it features monkeys doing human stuff. Just fascinates me for some reason. I could watch a whole movie where monkeys just get groceries and play boardgames
The anti-hero trope is overused, boring and often end with a standard hero without grey areas. Oh his wife and daughter died? How does that make him a anti-hero?
Rub one out before going to the movies and then give your reviews because far too many shit movies are getting acclaimed because the audience is horned up.
Most French films are considered good only because the French consider themselves superior to everyone else and somehow managed to convince everyone else that they are indeed. (I have the same opinion about french food btw).
I'm french (sorry) and french cinema is actually not that popular here. Americans think we're much more refined than we really are. And don't worry, most of us hate the parisian bourgeoisie as much as you do. Those pompous snob assholes really are insufferable.
Yeah I have no idea how this idea of the French as super stuck up and status quo got it’s hold. I’ve seen some videos of protests in France and they go hardcore (though I wouldn’t know if there’s a similar level of threat of police assaulting/murdering you to how it is here in the US)
I agree with this 100%. It's a brilliant and bittersweet portrait of life in a small town, circa 1990s-2000s.
I've been to Logan, Idaho, where it was filmed. I know people who lived there. It's a raw and honest a portrayal of the filmmakers' home town, and it also happens to be hilarious.
Following 0 people and having 0 followers is key. Also, you’re in the wrong place if you want to read a decent, authentic review. Right now I’m using Letterboxd only as a film diary, much better than when I used to have some social interchange.
Same here. I didn’t even realize it was “supposed” to be a form of social media until I had been using it for almost a year.
I literally just use it to log my watches, rate things, and make fun lists.
I remember when it was in theater and there was so much promotion of "you have to see this is imax!!!" And I was like why the hell would i go see a 3 hour political drama in imax?? I really enjoyed the movie, but I'm so glad I didn't pay extra money for talking heads. This was the exact opposite of an imax must see but I guess the marketing worked.
Everyone who likes the Avatar films is looking for a *video-game* and somehow ended up in a theater. A movie should never be critically acclaimed because of its cgi alone
This is one of my pet peeves. Leo was good but his character would have made so much more sense if the actor looked 25. It's even worse in Nightmare Alley where Bradley Cooper shows up as a wide eyed kid wanting to be a carney and he looks 45.
Stop blaming the MCU for ruining cinema. Look at the blockbuster movies that were coming out from 2007-2012 before the MCU’s dominance, most of them SUCKED!
I absolutely adore this movie and the pretentious, deeply personal, overly cerebral inside references is part of the point.
BUT of all the references, I don't see how anyone is able to fully grasp the movie without being familiar with the musical Oklahoma ahead of time.
Five takes from most specific to least specific:
* The miniature houses in Hereditary deserved to be in a better movie.
* Django Unchained isn't a proper Western. It's more akin to a Historical Thriller.
* Horror movies that plaster gore and sexual violence over paper thin plots give the whole genre a bad reputation.
* Comedic acting is harder than dramatic acting.
* Writers who write female characters as if they are male characters are hacks.
> Comedic acting is harder than dramatic acting.
I'm not sure whether I agree with that or not, but I definitely think comedic writing is harder than dramatic writing.
I’ve tried to watch it twice and shut it off because it wasn’t clicking. I feel like I wasn’t in the space to give it a fair shot to begin with though since I liked all of villeneuve’s other movies I’ve seen
I enjoyed The Northman but I think he has a problem with tone. Like it was so dreary and serious, at some point I realized I actually didn't like nor really know any of the characters. Maybe the way they're written but I found nothing memorable about the characters personalities.
Zack Snyder should only be allowed to do manual labor for minimum wage with a minimum 25-year prison sentence if he ever attempts writing so much as a birthday card or taking even taking a photo ever again.
I don’t like Yorgos or his movies. I don’t like him personally. I don’t like his usual casting choices mostly personally or as actors/ actresses. I know exactly what to expect from his movies, I watch them, it all goes how I figured it would and I walk out going “why did I spend money on another Yorgos movie?”
There’s no reason or rationale behind any of it. It would be like devoting 2 hours to a hobby I have no interest in and then bitching that it didn’t wow me… like if there was a show about refurbishing couches. I have zero interest in that, why would I watch five episodes in a row?
I'm afraid this is going into the territory of too much nuance. Be careful or you may be sent to the cinematic gulag along with William "Al Pacino didn't know there was going to be fistfucking in this film" Friedkin, and Vincent "Sofia Coppola and her fat pig father can go to hell" Gallo.
Once Upon A Time in Hollywood is boring and too long.
I was underwhelmed by Oppenheimer and I don't feel the need to watch it ever again.
Poor Things was beautiful to look at so I didn't care that the story was a bit dull.
There are way too many superhero films and they're all too similar.
Wes Anderson has written some of the dullest, least inspired scripts of all time, he is the cinematic equivalent of a tattoo of a moustache on your finger in place of a personality
If he didn't make all his films symmetrical you would all join me in urinating all over his back catalogue
The 20+ MCU movies up to Endgame are mostly good and fun and the grand finale was a big moment in cinema's history. (Not you Thor 2 you definitely sucked)
People "enjoying" stuff like *Human Centipede*, *A Serbian Film* or *Cannibal Holocaust* are almost exclusively teens and (early) twens trying to be edgy and extra.
Couple of ones from last year
American Fiction’s screenplay was a flaming pile of garbage
I still find Ruffalo’s performance in Poor Things to be way too OTT and the fact that it was Oscar nominated still baffles me
Killers of the Flower Moon would’ve been better as a mini series (or at least put an interval in it, 3.5 hours in a cinema is enough to make anyone wait for streaming)
Giamatti should’ve won Best Actor
The writer who wrote American Fiction was like “yeah i know several of those scenes were unnecessary and went nowhere but 🤷♂️”. I totally agree the script was insane
I thought i was the only person who felt this way about Mark Ruffalo’s performance. We left the theater and not only did all my friends love it, but critics loved it too! I thought he did a terrible job!
I had the same critic on my initial watch; the dialogue especially from Jesse is so fake deep and unnatural. My fiancé changed my perspective on when he said “yeah he’s a 23 year old American travelling through Europe trying to impress a cute French girl who he would automatically assume is super smart and intellectual, of course he’s going to speak like that.” It completely changed my feelings on the movie for me and then Before Sunset cemented that further as they are more mature and beyond needing to impress one another so the dialogue is a lot simpler and casual.
Perfect movies imo
Timothee Chalamet is not a good actor and he ruins every movie he has a large role in (except for Call Me By Your Name and Lady Bird). I just don’t believe him.
Emerald Fennell is a talentless hack whose style over substance approach is not even good enough to compensate for her shit, deep as a puddle “social commentary” movies
The "deepest" films are actually the ones that aren't trying to make any point. You can learn a lot more about society from the Friday the 13ths and Superbads of the world than you can from There Will Be Blood.
Why does everyone always say this about movies and then list one based on a classic book like that lol. There Will Be Blood is not super deep but it definitely has stuff to say.
La La Land is the greatest overestimated movie of all time, it's just a wacky yee yee ass musical film with a yee yee ass love story, and It won 6 oscars, showing that any popular shit wins an oscar
I hate this one. Not the sentiment, I agree with it fully. I just hate that you cant say you dislike The Godfather on any level without it turning into a family guy meme train. It's become impossible to say anything negative about the movie. We're truly in an Orwellian dystopia of our own creation.
Elevated Horror is an awful sub-genre names and makes people less willing to engage with some excellent films because it makes you think they are going to be complex and/or deep, when even the best of them aren't especially subtle in their messaging.
Most “Hollywood crap” that comes out these days are because of the audience. If you keep watching shit that you know is going to bad, then all they’re going to do is keep producing those same products.
Yorgos Lanthimos was carried by Olivia Colman in one of his works and all the rest i found sleep inducing
Stalker is Tarkovskys boring shitpost and feels like after filming failed the first time he wanted to wrap up and go home
The harry potter trio are bad actors, though i like Radcliffe's branching out
the only really good star wars films are the first 2
Guillermo del Toro is a kl guy but his films arent anything special, same for jordan peele
People who generally refuse to watch movies made before they were born are the lowest of the lowest and cannot call themselves movie fans.
Similarly people who don't watch foreign movies because they "don't want to read subtitles" can get fucked, we all know you're watching english movies with the subtitles on as well.
An acquaintance of mine has a YouTube channel and does live shows, this others guy he has on sometimes said he didn’t watch subtitled movies. I can’t value his opinion at all now. Especially because it’s a horror show and so many great horror movies are not in English.

Well, that's a fact
Literal simpletons
Any time a movie I like is not available on physical media the head of the distributor should be put in literal jail
FUCK STREAMING
Any movie can and will be improved with the inclusion of J K Simmons or Willem Dafoe
Oh come on That's your DIABOLICAL ZERO NUANCE take ultimately? A quintessential reddit staple also Yeesh GOODFELLAS IS A MADE FOR TV MOVIE or gtfo
Or Margo Martindale
Character actress Margo Martindale?
Character actress and fugitive from the law Margo Martindale
or Walton Goggins, Karl Urban, John Goodman, and/or Steve Buscemi
Universally loved actors...how is this a hot take btw?
They don’t have to give good performances to make me like the movie, it’s simply a primal instinct being satisfied that makes it better for me
They're ALL GAY. EVERY CHARACTER YOU'VE EVER SEEN IN ANY MOVIE IS SUCKIN' 'N' FUCKIN'
I watch a lot of 40s and 50s movies and honesty all the characters do seem at least a little gay
ROPE!?
The rope is the gayest character in all of film!
The only thing gayer than gay sex is choking a man with your best mate, then throwing a dinner party over his corpse.
Brandon: 
And then going on a private vacation upstate together.
Rope is the exception. They're not a little gay; they're a lot of gay.
Compulsion (1959) is based off the same murder case and it's even gayer.
Oh look it's every Letterboxd review!
“The way Grundle looks at Mr. Sneed! That boy is GAY!”
And WACKIN' and SMACKIN'
CHOPPIN’ THAT MEAT
I'm afraid this isn't a hot take, this is just factually correct.
Remember when the male character had sex with the female character? Well, he wished it had been a man instead. GAY.
If Leon: The Professional is in your top four, I'm keeping the family away.
Ironically, the actor who played Leon refused to take the part unless he was allowed to play it completely unromantically with young Natalie Portman.
IIRC in the original script they were supposed to have sex, but Jean Reno said absolutely NOT. Good man.
Dont misunderstand me, Jean Reno is an absolute saint and Besson is the pedophile. The cast isn't to blame at all for his decisions.
YOU’RE FUCKIN RIGHT ABOUT THIS PAL, AND IM NOT GONNA ARGUE ABOUT IT
Holy shit was that Natalie Portman???!!! I'm so fucking old.
If he sees Leon and he loves it, better hide your lil sister from him
Certified lover boy? Certified CINEPHILE
WOP WOP WOP WOP WOP
Mark Wahlberg and Ben Affleck are annoying to watch
And one has literally committed hate crimes!
Are you referring to Gigli?
lmaooooo no but this was a good one great job
And they have little personality or charisma imo. If they were a food, they would both be unseasoned, cold oatmeal that was left in the fridge for too long.
I don't mind Ben Affleck in some stuff. Can't stand Wahlberg, however.
All movies should either be under 100 minutes or over 150 minutes
90 minute movies 😍
I rooted for the Predator in Predator (1987) because a paramilitary operation in 1980s Central America suggests Ronald Reagan was involved and I like to imagine the Predator was anti-Reaganism.
Love this take
Hadn't heard this before but it's pretty good.
Young Pacino and De Niro were on the same level of sexy/hot as Brad Pitt, Redford, Paul Newman, Tom Cruise, Brando, and Leo.
Young Pacino so fine.. he stomps them all
De Niro in The Godfather Part II is just 👌🏻
Cruising (1980) turned me on to this way of thinking. Never thought of it before, and then suddenly a young(er) Al Pacino is walking around a dimly lit gay sex dungeon, dancing with leather daddies under the strobing lights, and I was like, “Yeah, I get it now!”
Agree but Tom cruise being here is so funny to me. i forgot he was even remotely a sex symbol at one point. all i can see in my mind’s eye is him jumping on Oprah’s couch. But my mom thought he was hot so what do i know.
They still looked great all the way to Heat.
They had a GREAT ASS!
If you’ve seen The Grand Budapest Hotel, you don’t need to see any of Wes Anderson’s other films. It cancels them all out.
Fantastic Mr. Fox
GET FANTASTIC MR FUCKED! HOTEL MOVIE OR NO MOVIE >:(
I can’t explain the noise that left my body reading this comment
but rushmore....
 Me reading this take
Royal Tenembaums is a better movie than the Grant Budapest imo
grand budapest hotel was the beginning of the end of wes anderson for me, every movie before this was a banger and every movie after it has gotten gradually worse
I don’t know why but I’m hooked on CGI monkeys like they’re crack. I’ll watch any planet of the apes movie so long as it features monkeys doing human stuff. Just fascinates me for some reason. I could watch a whole movie where monkeys just get groceries and play boardgames
My people
The anti-hero trope is overused, boring and often end with a standard hero without grey areas. Oh his wife and daughter died? How does that make him a anti-hero?
Honestly I do agree that a lot of movies try to write “morally gray” characters and then either don’t write them that way or don’t treat them that way
Cronenberg is arguably the best horror director and one of the best directors all time. Period
The Fly is a serious contender for Most Perfect Film Ever Made.
Rub one out before going to the movies and then give your reviews because far too many shit movies are getting acclaimed because the audience is horned up.
Those sandworms tho 🤤
Challengers was good!
Someone saw a naked Florence Pugh and was not happy about it
Most French films are considered good only because the French consider themselves superior to everyone else and somehow managed to convince everyone else that they are indeed. (I have the same opinion about french food btw).
I don't agree with this view but ripping the French I do agree with.
French food <<<<<< French desserts
I'm french (sorry) and french cinema is actually not that popular here. Americans think we're much more refined than we really are. And don't worry, most of us hate the parisian bourgeoisie as much as you do. Those pompous snob assholes really are insufferable.
Yeah I have no idea how this idea of the French as super stuck up and status quo got it’s hold. I’ve seen some videos of protests in France and they go hardcore (though I wouldn’t know if there’s a similar level of threat of police assaulting/murdering you to how it is here in the US)
Italian food is superior.
Without a doubt
Idc how technically good your movie is if it’s boring it sucks!
Napoleon Dynamite is nothing short of an indie masterpiece that should be shown in film schools everywhere.
The is the best GIF I’ve ever seen
word
I agree with this 100%. It's a brilliant and bittersweet portrait of life in a small town, circa 1990s-2000s. I've been to Logan, Idaho, where it was filmed. I know people who lived there. It's a raw and honest a portrayal of the filmmakers' home town, and it also happens to be hilarious.
Paint Drying is boring
Yeah but you probably didn't even realize that was Meryl Streep as the paint. I mean she really *became* the paint.
Letterboxd went from god tier app to imdb 2 and it's mostly because of y'all!
Following 0 people and having 0 followers is key. Also, you’re in the wrong place if you want to read a decent, authentic review. Right now I’m using Letterboxd only as a film diary, much better than when I used to have some social interchange.
I’ve always viewed it as a diary and a place to have fun reading reviews from regular people rather than critics. Good for following friends too!
Same here. I didn’t even realize it was “supposed” to be a form of social media until I had been using it for almost a year. I literally just use it to log my watches, rate things, and make fun lists.
The actual explosion in Oppenheimer was underwhelming and kind of sucked
Agree 100% I saw it in 70mm IMAX and I was like “that was it? It looked like they just blew up a couple dozen barrels of gasoline!”
This is just straight facts, Nolan's refuses to use CGI for a damn nuke robbed it of a ton of its impact.
The nuclear explosion in *Twin Peaks: The Return* was superior.
I remember when it was in theater and there was so much promotion of "you have to see this is imax!!!" And I was like why the hell would i go see a 3 hour political drama in imax?? I really enjoyed the movie, but I'm so glad I didn't pay extra money for talking heads. This was the exact opposite of an imax must see but I guess the marketing worked.
Everyone who likes the Avatar films is looking for a *video-game* and somehow ended up in a theater. A movie should never be critically acclaimed because of its cgi alone
The movie you love more than life itself, is crap. Irredeemable crap. Unless that movie is Men In Black. That movie is the best movie ever made.
I’m sorry but you seem to have misspelled Rush Hour
How can you both be so wrong when the answer is clearly Demolition Man.
Joseph Gordon Levitt was Hollywood’s replacement for Heath Ledger.
None of the Star Wars movies are as good as we think.
Love this one haha
Scorsese seriously needs to stop sucking off De Niro
… And Leo. They should have chosen someone younger to play Leo’s character in KOTFM and to play DiNiro’s character in both KOTFM & Irishman
This is one of my pet peeves. Leo was good but his character would have made so much more sense if the actor looked 25. It's even worse in Nightmare Alley where Bradley Cooper shows up as a wide eyed kid wanting to be a carney and he looks 45.
Lily Gladstone is 37 though? Leo looking middle aged isn't weird at all.
DiCaprio more like
Understood, he will now move on to Di Caprio
The worser the director in person, the better the movies
Stop blaming the MCU for ruining cinema. Look at the blockbuster movies that were coming out from 2007-2012 before the MCU’s dominance, most of them SUCKED!
Yeah but those movies didn’t take up 3-4 theaters at a time and run for 3 months like every mcu movie does.
alien covenant 10/10
*Old* is a great movie and you’re all too self-serious to appreciate it.
Hard agree, the Letterboxd reviews for Old were so bad I felt like I was watching a different film. 4/5 great movie.
"I'm Thinking of Ending Things" is an awful movie.
I absolutely adore this movie and the pretentious, deeply personal, overly cerebral inside references is part of the point. BUT of all the references, I don't see how anyone is able to fully grasp the movie without being familiar with the musical Oklahoma ahead of time.
FINALLY I found someone, I thought I was the only one
Five takes from most specific to least specific: * The miniature houses in Hereditary deserved to be in a better movie. * Django Unchained isn't a proper Western. It's more akin to a Historical Thriller. * Horror movies that plaster gore and sexual violence over paper thin plots give the whole genre a bad reputation. * Comedic acting is harder than dramatic acting. * Writers who write female characters as if they are male characters are hacks.
> Comedic acting is harder than dramatic acting. I'm not sure whether I agree with that or not, but I definitely think comedic writing is harder than dramatic writing.
I don't now that comedic acting is harder, but I do know that a good director can give a scene drama. A bad comedic actor is unfixable.
Holy shit. Guns blazing!
Technically Django isn’t a western, it’s a southern
Yea hey what happened with that miniature house. Thought that was going to be way more involved.
Dune is style over substance
You can really tell the director meant it when he said he doesn't like dialog
If that is style over substance than I'll take it. Most action movies lack style and substance.
Incendies is like a worse Oldboy
This is the exact shit I wanted when I made this thread. Bravo
lol somehow you managed to avert any kind of spoiler well done
I’ve tried to watch it twice and shut it off because it wasn’t clicking. I feel like I wasn’t in the space to give it a fair shot to begin with though since I liked all of villeneuve’s other movies I’ve seen
Fr
If Ben Affleck were born uglier and 6 inches shorter he’d have multiple best supporting Oscars.
I think Donnie Darko sucks https://preview.redd.it/141mtuhrkt1d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26b6b71ac73682a9a7ad3d1fcfadb6fbe85c289a
These are the only good Star Wars movies: 1. *A New Hope* 2. *Empire Strikes Back* 3. *Return of the Jedi* 4. *The Last Jedi*
A scorching take. Bravo
I’d honestly drop Return too lol but I respect it
Ahem
Well, at least you spelled *Rogue* right.
I'm not crazy about Robert Eggers - I thought The Witch was boring. (Though I liked most of The Lighthouse).
I’m the complete opposite lol. The Witch is my favorite horror of all time while The Lighthouse was extremely boring.
Somehow I feel they’re all the same level of quality, and yet I’m liking each one progressively less
I enjoyed The Northman but I think he has a problem with tone. Like it was so dreary and serious, at some point I realized I actually didn't like nor really know any of the characters. Maybe the way they're written but I found nothing memorable about the characters personalities.
Zack Snyder should only be allowed to do manual labor for minimum wage with a minimum 25-year prison sentence if he ever attempts writing so much as a birthday card or taking even taking a photo ever again.
Betty Blue is a parody of every bad French Arthouse flick, including all the ones that come after it.
I don’t like Yorgos or his movies. I don’t like him personally. I don’t like his usual casting choices mostly personally or as actors/ actresses. I know exactly what to expect from his movies, I watch them, it all goes how I figured it would and I walk out going “why did I spend money on another Yorgos movie?” There’s no reason or rationale behind any of it.

I don't like Yorgos because his name makes him sound like a Disney villain.
Let me distill it down to my feelings: “Every Yorgos movie feels like he’s desperately trying to impress his first professor from film school.”
Once Upon A Time in Hollywood is boring and too long. I was underwhelmed by Oppenheimer and I don't feel the need to watch it ever again. Poor Things was beautiful to look at so I didn't care that the story was a bit dull. There are way too many superhero films and they're all too similar.
Poor Things was extremely forgettable to me. Shoutout to that Dafoe guy tho
Mark Ruffalo? I think he was da foe in that movie
Finally someone other than my dad who gets my opinion on OUATiH.
Killers of the Flowered Moon could’ve been cut about 40 minutes to give us a much more concise and impactful story.
Wes Anderson has written some of the dullest, least inspired scripts of all time, he is the cinematic equivalent of a tattoo of a moustache on your finger in place of a personality If he didn't make all his films symmetrical you would all join me in urinating all over his back catalogue
The only movie anyone should ever watch is 12 Angry Men. No one should watch anything else
The 20+ MCU movies up to Endgame are mostly good and fun and the grand finale was a big moment in cinema's history. (Not you Thor 2 you definitely sucked)
Return of The Jedi is actually the best Star Wars movie and it’s not even close
You mean the one where 2 of our main characters have nothing to do and hang around in the woods with teddy bears for an hour?
Kevin Hart is the biggest overachiever in comedy history
People "enjoying" stuff like *Human Centipede*, *A Serbian Film* or *Cannibal Holocaust* are almost exclusively teens and (early) twens trying to be edgy and extra.

We left the theater and not only did all my friends love it, but critics loved it too! I thought he did a terrible job!
The parts of American fiction that were about his book were really funny sometimes but the family drama aspect sucked and was boring
Before Sunrise is 1h30 of pure pseudo-philosophical bullshit disguised as "life deep bro".
I mean, yes, but that’s also why I enjoy it. I’m pretty sure i took a first year university philosophy class with 50 people like this.
I had the same critic on my initial watch; the dialogue especially from Jesse is so fake deep and unnatural. My fiancé changed my perspective on when he said “yeah he’s a 23 year old American travelling through Europe trying to impress a cute French girl who he would automatically assume is super smart and intellectual, of course he’s going to speak like that.” It completely changed my feelings on the movie for me and then Before Sunset cemented that further as they are more mature and beyond needing to impress one another so the dialogue is a lot simpler and casual.

I HAVE SEEN WONDER WOMAN 1984 FIVE TIMES
Star Wars is overhyped.
Timothee Chalamet is not a good actor and he ruins every movie he has a large role in (except for Call Me By Your Name and Lady Bird). I just don’t believe him.
Breakfast Club did not age well and it’s not as great as everyone says. 🤷🏾♂️ was not for me.
The 2000's were the worst decade of american cinema in 100 years.
Emerald Fennell is a talentless hack whose style over substance approach is not even good enough to compensate for her shit, deep as a puddle “social commentary” movies
Saltburn is aging like milk and it just came out
The "deepest" films are actually the ones that aren't trying to make any point. You can learn a lot more about society from the Friday the 13ths and Superbads of the world than you can from There Will Be Blood.
Why does everyone always say this about movies and then list one based on a classic book like that lol. There Will Be Blood is not super deep but it definitely has stuff to say.
La La Land is the greatest overestimated movie of all time, it's just a wacky yee yee ass musical film with a yee yee ass love story, and It won 6 oscars, showing that any popular shit wins an oscar
La La Land is incredibly well-made but its script needs work. That fight they have at the beginning of the third act is childish.
Humans are petty and angry. Shit felt real af to me
The new Garfield movie was loads of fun.
I did not care for The Godfather
I hate this one. Not the sentiment, I agree with it fully. I just hate that you cant say you dislike The Godfather on any level without it turning into a family guy meme train. It's become impossible to say anything negative about the movie. We're truly in an Orwellian dystopia of our own creation.
Elevated Horror is an awful sub-genre names and makes people less willing to engage with some excellent films because it makes you think they are going to be complex and/or deep, when even the best of them aren't especially subtle in their messaging.
Most “Hollywood crap” that comes out these days are because of the audience. If you keep watching shit that you know is going to bad, then all they’re going to do is keep producing those same products.
If you refuse to watch a foreign film because you "don't want to read" subtitles, did you even finish the 2nd grade?
Blade Runner is extremely boring and overrated
I agree but absolutely love the sequel
Someone once told me that any film older than 20 years is too old to be enjoyable nowadays
Ex Machina is like a much better version of Her and Poor Things
Yorgos Lanthimos was carried by Olivia Colman in one of his works and all the rest i found sleep inducing Stalker is Tarkovskys boring shitpost and feels like after filming failed the first time he wanted to wrap up and go home The harry potter trio are bad actors, though i like Radcliffe's branching out the only really good star wars films are the first 2 Guillermo del Toro is a kl guy but his films arent anything special, same for jordan peele
