Spider-Man Across the Spider Verse.

It was too long with too much going on. I thought it was about to end twice. But no, it kept on going... I loved Into the Spider Verse though.

It's not even a movie by itself, it's an episode

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.

The Lighthouse

There’s a difference between being subtle, metaphorical, and artistic vs. being boring, confusing and inexplicable. Also, the dripping cum was just gross.

It’s like a few influential “smart” people claimed to like it, and everyone else just jumped on the bandwagon.

I found cocaine bear interesting on a vfx level, otherwise dumb comedy, nothing really in terms of story

I think I got about 2 minutes into Forrest Gump before I had to turn it off. Cannot stand that fake accent Tom Hanks has in that movie. And yes, that's a hill I will die on.

Same here .... as a story it also feeds that false mentality of "you can do anything as long as you try"

It's a work of fiction that everyone knows is fiction but they really really really want it to be true, even though it is so far removed from reality.

Barbarian

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 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!

Donnie darko

Fifth element

Inter stellar

Don't look up

Can't stand any of them, I'm pretty sure there's a connective thread, but it's a bit winding and knotted.

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.

The series Schitt's Creek is like this. It's not knee slapping hilarious about it just memorable characters and subtle humor

Wiplash. Wiplash is to jazz what Grey's Anatomy is to medicine.
