You say that, but I wonder who was the target audience because I am not aware of anybody I know liking it. Appart from some kids who liked the bright colours and the childish Farrel humor, but clearly they don't get all the meaning of the movie (and most adult jokes). I am a man, feminist and I hated it with a passion. My girlfriend and my women friends, all feminists, did not like it. My more apolitical friends thought it was just ok at best. It's a "white liberal girlboss" type of feminism that is too shallow for people really invested in this subject, and at the same time too obvious and in your face for anti-woke warriors. It felt like it was just a 2 hours long advertisement for Matel.

This and The Joker are the two movies that come to mind when this type of question comes up. Inception is not particularly bad, just so.... correct. I was expecting something really mindbinding, that would make me rethink about it long after the movie was over. It was just a pretty scenery with mid acting. No amount of practical effect can carry a movie on his own. The Joker on the other hand was just a waste of my time and left me infuriated.

Mia Goth's performance in Pearl is incredible. The movie itself is good, but her acting in it is some of the best I've ever seen.

X. Good horror movie. Second is Pearl, which came after but is a prequel. Also pretty good.

Gotta know what death metal band was listened to unhealthy volume levels.

Those cats got faces like in those medieval paintings.

If that bird was in a Disney movie it would be the ultra sassy character.

There was also a time when people would get pay to press an elevator button for you. But we don't do that anymore because those things are super easy and having someone doing it for you won't make the process faster.

On the other hand, the thing that pisses me off the most about the self-checkout is that people take forever to scan their stuff. When I was working as a cashier I would have an average of 50 clients/hour. There ain't no way those self checkout are more efficient considering the time people take.

Or having braces. Everyone I know who got them had that dream at least once : you dream you finaly get to remove them and the second you do so your teeth start falling out.

So many people gave a shout out to BWP already I'm gonna go with my second : Creep.

The acting is so good, I felt uneasy the whole time.

I love how effective the ending is. It gave me shivers like no other horror movie did.

This reads like something you would put on a condescending brithday card.
