I rewatched it recently after not seeing it for a while, and it had me cracking up. I forgot how absolutely hysterical it is, and I was surprised by how well it’s aged. It’s so good

Funny enough, that’s literally how anyone from nonEnglish speaking countries watch movies.

Hell, anime fans have been doing that for decades.

I cannot stress this to you enough, but I'm going to try.

Don't base your opinions, good, bad, or other, on an awards show.

Every winner of Best Picture ever wasn't necessarily the best movie that year. The will of the people isn't reflected by any award show, especially not the Academy Awards.

In this case, however, they nailed it. Great movie, great cast (Shortround, Yu Shu Lien, and Laurie Strode are in this MFer!), and a great, albeit weird ass, story. Watch the movie with no expectations and decide if you like it or not.

It looks as boring and silly as The Shape of Water. The only reason I’d watch it is Jamie Lee Curtis, and it would have to be available for free.

I've seen it 4 times and it gets better and better with each rewatch.

I did not make that distinction. Talented people and untalented people can do good or bad work regardless of intent and i never asserted otherwise.

By that standard a fireworks show should be best picture at the Oscar’s

How sad is your life that you can’t enjoy something because too many other people did?

No you didn’t miss anything it was terrible. People had decided ahead of time to enjoy it and set aside its many faults but it was objectively bad.

Edit: well you’ve alerted the horde now

I was too busy taking in the spectacle to care to be honest. That aside, they did explain the need to switch bases. Water guys reacting that way makes some sense at least considering how some people do react that way here on Earth - not too far to consider that happening with tribes. Exposition, I guess, not trying to defend it too much because I can't recall exactly where they did too much of it, I did'nt really care too much because it was with friends and we had a blast just looking at the film - I guess exposition would be a subjective thing - maybe too little/maybe not enough Unsure. Yeah but sky people not just killing off certain characters etc. just made me feel like its a bit too much sympathy to expect from them. Film is subjective, if you felt that way its perfectly fine. For instance, I abhor Space Odyssey 2001 and consider it a snoozefest but I'm aware of its merits and why people like it. Honestly, looking forward to Avatar 3 just to see the fire spectacle of it - and that's the prime reason. Just like how I'll likely watch the upcoign transformers film for the crazy big screen effects.

Account also seems to be a men's rights crybaby so do with that unsurprising info what you will.

Reading the book right now and holy shit what a story.

I dunno I saw it in IMAX and turned my critical thinking off for 3.5 hours and had my mind blown by the audiovisual experience lol

One that seems to have died is Fight Club being the top answer to any request for recommendations. I kinda miss it, honestly.

Agree 100%. It also annoyed me that they are now only there to get fancy sperm whale oil (no mention of unobtanium).
I do think the vibrancy in his world building is amazing and not to be underestimated in its impact on reception.

Still back in the game

In an attempt to appear critical and intelligent you've managed to come across as a racist moron. Just a heads up.

I’ve watched it 6 times, so I guess I agree.

Sounds like you need to learn to temper expectations before going in to a movie

You say Marty like he’s your friend lmao

Ok, I never saw those, Im gonna check those movies out then if you say they are similar/better..

How sour are those grapes?
