Oppenheimer Barbie Place Beyond the Pines

Didn't get the hype for any of them at all. Oppenheimer was just fucking stupid and entirely too long for no reason, plus the Florence pugh scene where shes just sitting with her tits out for no reason was just wildly out of place

Barbie was just generic trash, and everyone knew or should have known it was a money grab. I dont think it was feminist at all, it was basically Marvel but for girls, and I generally think most marvel movies are bad

Place beyond the pines was just boring. And the plot was horrid.

The Exorcist might be the most boring horror movie ever made.

I reckon I could think of something worse.

I try to avoid a lot of discourse around movies/books I haven't seen yet as the expectation can ruin it for me. That said, Infinity War and Ready Player One (the book) still get me angry thinking back on them and the hype didn't help. (Public opinion seems to have flipped largely on the latter, but there was a point when it was held up)

This is me but with Shawshank Redemption. I get what it was trying to go for but I just didn't vibe with it. I can appreciate the fact that so many people saw something in it that I didn't. To me it was decent but by no means one of the best films ever

For me, it's Wicked.

I generally like musicals, and I watched both the movie and the musical (w/ my SO, who loved it), and neither clicked for me. I felt the musical fell apart in the second half (I didn't like the ending at all), and according to my SO, most of my complaints are where it deviated from the book. The movie was a bit better (and I'll probably watch the second one, just to compare), but I still felt it was a bit generic. It goes way too hard on DEI concepts (skin color), and the characters seemed a bit shallow. I hope the second movie draws more from the book than the musical. It wasn't "bad," it was just pretty mid for me, not the knockout experience it was claimed to be.

The music was pretty good though, I'll give it that.

I have never tried so hard to like an artist as Frank Ocean. He isnt for me, other than his Earl festures and when Three Stacks did a quick track on Blonde.

Its no disrespect, its me thats the problem
