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

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 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.

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.

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.

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

AI. I found it hollow and depressing.

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