I feel the same way about the Bourne Supremacy (or whatever the second Bourne movie was). I paid to see it in theatre twice and both times I fell asleep about halfway through. Tried watching it at home much later when it was on HBO or something and fell asleep at the same part. It literally just puts me to sleep 🤷🏻♂️
Honestly for me I don’t think it’s necessarily about anything really happening in the movie, it’s just cute watching 2 robots fall in love n save the planet and everything. Also WALL-E is just a silly lil guy you can’t not root for him
I liked the RDJ gimmick, but the rest was really dumb. Everyone else likes it but it’s even bought a copy based on terrific reviews and ended up giving it away. So it was pricy too.
Totally agreed, the pacing was awful. Everything else was good like the first one but it was very hard to get invested because of this problem, and then it just kind of… ended.
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!
Haven’t seen it, probably won’t. I’ve heard enough to respect that he was taking a swing at high melodrama as overpriced soap operas, but I don’t want to watch a satire any more than I’d want to watch the real thing. I find it fascinating that Japan adored his comically heightened view of small-town Americana, but King Of The Hill has a similar distinction, and I don’t watch that either.
I liked Dune. Completely ridiculous, and an absolute tragedy we didn’t get Jodorowsky’s version, but he understood just how bizarre and uncomfortable the story got, and had a reasonable level of disrespect for his audience. I’ve had family express confusion over the Villienenneuuve version and unironically recommended the Lynch version as a low-intensity explainer with crazier character design.
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.
I liked the idea of two people ending up in the same AirBnB in a bad neighborhood (and even the tunnels parts), but the actual execution and horror elements weren’t really great. When the fake boobs got whipped out, I actually giggled. Spoiler It boils down to a special needs person with a kink
Which kinda seems a bit…eh. Would have been better if it was some sort of carniverous fungus that the airbnb owner was experimenting with or tunneling spider the size of a large pumpkin or something.
Yes, I feel like the initial premise was interesting, and the atmosphere of discomfort at the start was really well done, then fake boob got whipped out and it just got more and more random.
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.
Oh man. This movie. I can handle some plot holes. But I cannot believe that the entirety of the world (or, let’s just say the entire United States of America) didn’t once think, ”Hey, these things can hear SUPER FUCKING GOOD, maybe we can somehow use that against them?”
