Barbarian
I feel like it got so hyped up by the kind of people I usually agree with and the way everyone kept saying "Don't look up anything, just go in blind" had my hopes up for something really unique and interesting with twists in all the right ways.
In the end I felt like it was just random and dumb... Good acting though.
M3gan and Cocaine Bear
I found cocaine bear interesting on a vfx level, otherwise dumb comedy, nothing really in terms of story
I think I got about 2 minutes into Forrest Gump before I had to turn it off. Cannot stand that fake accent Tom Hanks has in that movie. And yes, that's a hill I will die on.
Same here .... as a story it also feeds that false mentality of "you can do anything as long as you try"
It's a work of fiction that everyone knows is fiction but they really really really want it to be true, even though it is so far removed from reality.
Not for movies but for books
The Alchemist
Winter's Bone
Absolutely hate them. I hate the characters. I hate hate hate hate.
Donnie darko
Fifth element
Inter stellar
Don't look up
Can't stand any of them, I'm pretty sure there's a connective thread, but it's a bit winding and knotted.
Poor Things
Had you seen any of his other films? Lanthimos is an odd one you kind of have to take film to film. I liked lobster, thought the favorite was okay, kinda low key hate sacred deer while admiring some things about it, and loved poor things. I’ve never experienced that type of roller coaster with a director that has such a consistent style and voice.
I do not give a shit about David Lynch. I respect some of what he's going for, and the people who like his work, but it always feels like alien commentary on pop culture, for pop culture I wasn't paying attention to in the first place. Gorlax really nails those Kardashians! Mulholland Drive... sure is a sequence of images!
Lord of the Rings 2 and 3 I found to be quite meh.
I really loved Fellowship of the Ring, the other two sequels were just 90% large-scale NPC army battles that got really old really fast.
Also Rashomon (1950) sucks.
AI. I found it hollow and depressing.
The series Schitt's Creek is like this. It's not knee slapping hilarious about it just memorable characters and subtle humor
