Eraserhead doesn't make sense. It just fills you with a sense of unease.
It's about the dude's fear of committing to a relationship with a girl he's been dating.
I know I’ve watched Eraserhead like 4 or 5 times, but it’s either something about the film or being extremely high when watching it - I have absolutely no idea what happens in that movie.
Five year old, right. Not a millennial at all.
It took me a moment to realize that “Gritty Black” and “White Polish” weren’t movie titles.
Yeah, what the heck is this capitalization about?
Yeah it feels like the MCU ran over everyone's dog or something. I get the arguments where people say it's not real art or that studios put out shlock because they're trying to copy the MCU. I don't know if I necessarily agree.
However, what about the meme about just letting people enjoy things?
Let me clear. Last MCU movie I watched was like Shang Chi and I lost interest after Loki and Wandavision (great shows). So like, I'm not a fan anymore and I ain't watching any of their movies any time soon.
I haven't watched the movies since about the same point, but we did that Agatha show and enjoyed it (i think it was what's her face from that show and the aggressive homosexuality that got us to watch)
I think some of it is a misplaced sense of frustration with the way that most big commercial films are franchises/cinematic universes, which focus on plot over everything else. See spoiler culture - where plot details are so key to the point of the movie that revealing them could somehow “ruin” it.
Weirdos like me who would rather watch shit like Au Hasard Balthazar often aren’t eating good at the box office. I’ll watch Marvel movies with friends and turn off my movie critic brain but I’m not enjoying the movie, just the company. I’ll go watch Venom with my younger brother or something, but very rarely have I been able to find friends to go watch like Lancelot du Lac with.
Wandavision was really good the first time, but it honestly has no rewatch value whatsoever. Loki is great, though.
That movie was a train wreck, I also gave up after that one
The quality of a work lies not in how it makes you feel, but in how many polysyllabic words it allows you to use when talking about it.
Subversive. By mocking an extreme, you want to avoid the main issue here: Marvel is a toxic shithole normalized by aggressive marketing.
Let the 5-year-old watch Shrek or sth.
Or a proper vigilante movie like Kick Ass
beginning with a masturbation joke?
Marvel movies often have a subtle SUBTLE undertone cliticizing the Kaiser and praising a bohemian view of agriculture. It’s understandable but not forgivable that this is so often missed.
I would also like to cliticize someone
Just be SUBTLE about it!
I dunno man that sounds pretty lit
Not a Polish film, but Hard to be a God (2013) is that.
It's a 3hr B&W Russian film about futuristic scientists who are living on a medieval planet to study it. Everything is disgusting, claustrophobic, and filthy (the main character is a germophobe). As he watches a fascist theocracy take control of the kingdom, the protaginist wrestles with whether or not to get involved.
Honestly yeah would watch
Unfortunately what is considered the world's first movie is A Trip to the Moon from 1902, so there exists no movie from 1873
I think the creator meant set in 1873
Absolutely. Where can I watch this
Yea, I'm down for the watch party lol
Adult Star Wars fans when kids try to enjoy the movie with dog people, living teddy bears and elite troopers that can't shoot straight.
That was the original trilogy, which pretty much everyone agrees was good.
Nah, one marvel movie is enough to know them all.
CGI Budget: Infinite
Casting Budget: Infinite
Writing Budget: $3.50
I've seen all the marvels movie and am ready to never see another one.
Reminds me of the movie critics on breakfast TV here. When they recommend a movie, we'll take it as a warning. When they condemn it, we consider it a recommendation.
