Top Gun was what I came here to say
Everything Everywhere all at once was just ok

I have watched Forrest Gump many many times trying to understand the appeal and because others liked it and wanted to watch it. I begged my brain to like literally anything about it but it cannot. It is horrible. I dislike it so deeply. I still can’t figure out why.

I mean, he’s literally an idiot.
My suspicion with Forrest Gump is more that it appeals to the people who saw live the news clips it parodies and lived through some of the times and experiences it depicts, since it depicts past events in a nostalgic tone, without ever trying to change how one might feel about any specific political policy that influenced the events, and it never tries to change anyone’s mind about anything. It’s just a story that never really challenges you
You must not understand Tom and Eric. See, when they said Chrimbus… /s
Me with Breaking Bad. Couldn’t get past the first season
I watched it all and didn’t particularly like it. It’s okay, it’s fun, def not the best series of all, like someone says. The fly episode is so bad, so bad.
I forced myself through the first two seasons, and it turned out to be my favourite series, same happened to a friend. The show massively improves in season 3.
Yeah, that’s something I keep hearing, that it like, picks up in season 3, but I guess like… If a media only starts to get good halfway through the entire thing, I don’t know how interested I am in it, personally.
I’m genuinely glad that you enjoyed it when you got through it though! Maybe one day if I’ve got nothing else on my watch list I’ll give it another go.
That Barbie movie was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. I thought it was me, but the person I was with said it unprompted.
The first season or season and a half are pretty grueling. I found it hard to watch at times. But as it got later into the show it really hit its groove. Still, I get where you’re coming from.
The Deadpool Movies, just don’t get them for some reason.
Feel like there’s no real plot, nothing really matters, the humor is family guy level cameos and 4th wall breaks that are only funny when used sparingly.
It’s like eating an Oreo but we took out the cookie so now you’re just OD’ing on stuffing and not in a good way.
The “humor” is just Ryan being Ryan. He is a mean guy. It’s funny on screen but IRL he is just that rude and gross to everyone without discrimination. I had to work with him twice and I dislike him. His wife is the same way. They are just objectively cruel for no reason. Which is funny when you’re acting on screen only.
Deadpool the character is an asshole, so it makes sense he’d be good at playing him.
Everything Everywhere All At Once. I found it utterly boring, yet everyone seemd to love it, especially my fellow ADHD crowd. I never even bothered finishing the film which is bloody rare for me.
Yet I like mind-bending films like Primer, and chaotic films like Crank, and heck, I even like Battleship as a guilty pleasure that I can turn my brain off to… But this film? Bleh.

I liked it, but a lot of it seemed like reddit fan fiction. What if butt plug fight. Imagine they have carrots… Not saussages as fingers. Someone give this man gold.
I felt mostly the same way watching it, but I also think the ending of the movie is important to understand the soul of it. I wasn’t crazy about the humor or the whole look-how-random-LOL vibe it had, but I do think there was something more beneath that. The performances were also very good.
Am I doing this for Big Mouth or is it really that awful? Seems like the only humour is shock stuff but the shock has long worn off. I can’t even tell who it’s meant for, kids who ignore the rating that might still learn something from it?
Yeah I liked it at first and then it turned into just trying to one-up themselves on grossness
Goonies.
Don’t look up was that movie for me. Almost everyone praised it to high heavens, with me smirking at maybe 2 lines / scenes throughout that entire slog.
Each to his own, I guess…
I enjoyed Don’t Look Up for the comedic pacing mostly. Where every time you seem to get a feel for the mood and direction it has something subversive to throw you off. Definitely could’ve been less on the nose with the allegory but some people just need some things shouted into their face for a chance at getting it

I’m there with two movies.
- Dude, where’s my car
- Tropic Thunder
In both cases I know the quotes - I saw each film to the end! - but it seems like 10 seconds of joy in 2 hours of dreck for each of them.
Kelso and Stifler did a good job, and so did RDJ, but these seemed to be so little to work with.
I hope you enjoyed them like so many others.
Tropic Thunder is a perfect film you sick fucker
I’m there with you on ”Dude, Where’s my car?”. I tried getting baked with my buddies and watching it when it first came out on DVD, but I was just bored and turned it off halfway through.
Tropic Thunder was absolutely brilliant from start to finish, although if you weren’t familiar with what they were parodying, I can see why you might not be entertained.
I’m like this with a shitton of movies because I just find drama boring and most of the big, popular films are dramas.
I like stupid action movies (Commando, Last Action Hero, Predator, etc), stupid comedies (Adam Sandler’s old shit, Grandma’s Boy, Dude Where’s My Car, etc), and sci-fi. Sci-fi is also very much like drama, but at least it has lasers.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Oh damn I think this is the only film where I’m like “Damn, you didn’t enjoy that?”
But hey, that’s why they make vanilla and chocolate, right?
I feel conspicuous too, given how beloved the movie is.
I’d say Jessica Rabbit voiced by Kathleen Turner, is the singular thing that I enjoyed when I went to the theater to watch this.
I had 2 major problems with the movie.
It was dark. I was expecting cartoon fun. I watched an animated shoe get executed.
I found Roger to be intensely unlikeable. I think he acted like shit, and treated the PI character that was trying to help him like shit.
Unlikeable protagonist in an unnecessarily dark movie.
One of my all-time favorites. I liked the dark tone, and Roger acts about how you’d expect a Looney Tunes style cartoon character from the 40s to act. Most of them are assholes.
It was dark. I was expecting cartoon fun. I watched an animated shoe get executed.
I had a good laugh. You’ve got me there, it does get really quite brutal.
Honestly, I think the gumshoe is the protagonist and noir is the genre, and I think Hoskins nails it in that context: a hard-boiled 40s private eye struggling with the weighty awfulness of the world, in a world whose weighty awfulness happens to be the result of getting mixed up with cartoons. But yeah, if you’re expecting a muppets comedy instead of film noir, it’s a hard rugpull.
It’s definitely a film where, in hindsight, I still go “they rated that PG? That should’ve been PG-13 easy”
Bob Hoskins was fine, but I feel that the script did him dirty, in light of the execution scene.
Me the viewer found Valliant doing a funny slapstick vaudville performance to stop more executions felt sickening. I don’t actually recall the timing of this specific plot point relative to his performance, so don’t know if he was knowingly hamming it up in front of the toon that murdered his brother.
I wouldn’t be fixating on the word execution, if the antagonist didn’t drive home the existential point. To further enhance what I’m getting at, think of the specific actions committed by that shoe that cost it its life.
Okay, y’know how vanilla is very mid? Go buy a pint of vanilla yogurt, a bowl and a spoon and have it for breakfast or brunch. Or as a late night snack. My wife had a pregnancy craving for vanilla yogurt one evening and we’ve just kept a pint in the fridge ever since
Oh damn I do the strawberry kefir (the drinkable yogurt) but haven’t tried the vanilla, I’ll have to give it a swig for sure
I mostly don’t like popular movies and it has never and probably will never strike me as my fault.
Saving Private Ryan for me. And I fucking love the genre and the actors.
Genuinely surprising. I know not every movie is loved by everyone, but I thought Saving Private Ryan was generally regarded as one of the better efforts. What other movies do you enjoy from the genre?
So my favorite mini series of all time is Band of Brothers, I watch it yearly. I’ve tried several times to make sense of why I don’t like saving private Ryan, and The closest I’ve ever come is some of the casting decisions I just felt were a little bit off, the performances a bit stilted.
Again, not shitting on the movie just trying to explain why it never did it for me.
