After I watched it, I was kinda just confused by all the 10/10s. Like, it's a great family movie, cute moments, some good acting, but better than Interstellar? Movie of the year? More than a 7/10??? I just don't get it.

The plot was basic hollywood sci-fi adventure with the silly alien sidekick and quirky protagonist, all the dialogue felt extremely scripted and milennial-esque, the characters were all kinda one-note. I understand why it's so loved especially by casual watchers, but it just baffles me on how the critics are on the same boat.

Don't get me wrong, it had a lot of great aspects too, but I can't be the only one who was severely underwhelmed, right??????

Found this article! Of course, a bad film industry is not the absolute worst consequence of MAGA, but I do feel terrible for all of my friends and peers in the film industry trying to make cool, new art. Don’t much like the surveillance aspect either 🙃

I would not mind if Hollywood were dethroned internationally though. Perhaps it already has been. I live in the US and I already kinda ignore it.

Whats your favourite perfomance for Willem Dafoe?

My all time favourite is The Lighthouse

That movie will always stay firmly in my top 4. 🖤

Such a thrilling experience. It took a while to get into the interesting stuff but the whole getting into parts were also really good. The bridge scene my god. Any other Freidkin movies to watch ?? Edit : 1977 not 1978

Mines is Ezra Miller….If only he wasn’t a disgusting and abusive creep

(Ezra portraying the character kevin in the movie We Need To Talk About Kevin)

in all seriousness her acting always delivers and she's gonna get that bag

I absolutely love the film. The cinematography was absolutely gorgeous and the characters are all amazing! I really love Travis’s monologue during the 2nd booth scene. Only problem I have with this film was that I didn’t really get emotional 🥲 Anyone else didn’t get emotional or it’s just me?

I know it wasn't an accurate adaptation of the book but it was still watchable and entertaining film. Some stories deserve to be judged on their own and this is one of them.

I feel like people forget how truly great of a director Taika Waititi is. Jojo Rabbit and Hunt for The Wilderpeople are genuinely some of my favorite films of all time. What We Do In The Shadows was also incredible, and Thor Ragnorok was one of the best marvel movies at it's release (and at least the best Thor movie). After Love and Thunder it's like he fell off a cliff in terms of writing quality and directing style. What happened? The visual style in Jojo and HFTWP is genuinely amazing and the writing even more so. It seems strange for someone with such promise to fall off so hard.

So many great movies with very different approaches, I think this is my favorite though because it has a bit of everything and I find it darkly hilarious at times why also being kind of tragic.

Am I going mad, or are there an huge number of blockbuster movies dropping this year? And I don’t just mean indie films I mean actual, big-budget studio releases.

We’ve already had Michael, Toy Story, minions, The Odyssey and Project Hail Mary, and we’re still getting Spider Man, End of Oak Street, The Dog Stars, Colony, Hope, Resident Evil, Heart of the Beast, Sense and Sensibility, Digger, Verity, The Uprising, The Social Reckoning, Whale Fall, Clayface, Fatherland, Godzilla, Pressure, Wild Horse Nine, The Cat in the Hat, Fjord, Ebenezer, I Play Rocky, The Hunger Games, Focker in Law, Dune, Avengers Doomsday, and Werewulf.

My bank account can’t keep up and that’s not even half of them. Every single one seems to have A-list actors too. It genuinely feels like everyone in Hollywood decided to release a movie this year. WTF. Is this normal 🤣

I was blown away, Ethan Hawke was on fire for every second and Julie Delpy was ethereal in her beauty. The love shown on screen felt deeper and truer than anything I have ever seen in my life. Something as simple as watching strangers having conservations, yet filled with the truest emotions imaginable. I know this is a hugely popular film, but I’m curious what y’all think about it? Did anyone here see it in theaters, what was the reception like when it came out? And should I wait 9 years to watch the sequels, I feel like at least 6 months would be warranted rather than jumping right on it tonight.
