Everything in Transformers is there for a reason. A scene that is over the top male gaze, a main character that is a horrible, selfish, unlikable person, action that is confusing and headache inducing, all of those are for a reason. That reason is that the Transformers series is the greatest satire of modern American society ever created.

CineD thinks John Ford westerns are critiques on the excess of the Reagan era. They're very dumb.

But to answer your question specifically: they genuinely believe Bumblebee pissing on Turturro is incredibly deep symbolism and death of the author versus literal interpretation must clash to resolve the issue of whether the dogs humping is a critique on the Sudanese genocide or the rise of Ho Chi Minh as a reaction to European colonialism or a direct insult to American exceptionalism.

It's not possible to see a dumb sight gag made by a lovely director and think "this is lowbrow humor meant to appeal to lowbrow humor loving idiots".

I read some thread where there was a mod challenge to give a reading of Jack and Jill* and they took the challenge seriously - I think a few people did it - and were like patting each other on the back for it like they hadn't just completely wasted theirs and everyone who read it's time.

Suggest they watch either a non-genre movie, a foreign language movie, or a movie made more than 30 years ago as opposed to nothing but titanic budget Hollywood schlock since they are such elite cinephiles who can unearth the complex subtext of Transformers, obviously they should have no problem doing the same thing for the oeuvre of Werner Herzog.

I liked Collosal but it felt like the director made some glaring mistakes as if it were his first time directing a feature-length film, which I think it was.

I saw the mummy today with my girl friend. (it was her idea) honestly it wasnt that good, I always look at movies and ask if you take away (x) would it change the movie?

Having russel crow as nick fury I mean Johann Kraus....wait I mean doctor jeklly was more interesting than tom cruse or Annabelle Wallis.

I kinda felt they coulda deleted Annabelle Wallis's character from the story and it wouldnt have mattered.

My gf didnt like the comedy the movie threw out every now and again.


And finally I kinda think it was stupid to have the mummy be a sexy woman, just didnt feel scary.
