    I have to ask. What about this movie is so bad

    I haven’t seen it, I hadn’t even heard of it until yesterday. But you don’t get a flop THIS epic without some Morbius tier blunders

      I haven’t seen it and, although I know it gets panned a lot for various reasons, I highly recommend at least reading the snippets of reviews of the film by critics to get an idea. Even a lot of the so-called positive films are basically ‘this movie clearly sucks, but I liked it anyway.’

      Basically, it’s a very expensive, pretty, and totally incoherent mess of a film that a few people feel is profound but most people think is a colossal piece of shit.

      Also, some theaters have a lady stand in front of the screen and lip synch to a specific scene and then leave for some reason. Don’t ask me to explain that.

      Edit: also, that link provides you with gems like this one from Richard Roeper-

        It sounds like what people should have thought about Inception, but everyone instead apparently fucking loved that movie.

        All the hate given toward Megalopolis makes me want to see it. Before that, I wasn’t interested just based on the poster.

          I eventually want to see Megalopolis too.

          I like watching art house movies and then figuring out what I don’t like about it. Even the ones everyone loves. Magnolia was one people loved and I just didn’t get.

            Yeah, well the thing is for me a lot of those types of movies are great but some are absolute trash. And then there are some that I have a lot of mixed feelings about. I don’t really get most David Lynch movies for example, but I’ve rarely felt like watching them were a waste of time because at least you’ll see something interesting. Then there’s total bizarre experience films. I have no fucking clue what Holy Mountain was, but I was fascinated by it.

    It’s wild this mf made an Atlas Shrugged-ass movie while everyone out here is living like Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle.

    Read the room, guy

    Nice theater tho!
