Watch it you piggies drink up the slop, get it out of the way so you can watch The Eternals and your Hawkeyes and your Boba Fetts

I watched 42 movies over a span of the last 4 weeks and I think eternals was like 5th worst. And most of what I was watching were trashy b movies. It's like the actors in these marvel movies are embarrassed to be in them. A far cry from when this genre got rolling and Wesley snipes and Ian McKellen were just like hell yes this is gonna be fun Other movies as bad as eternals : venom 2, jarhead 3 the siege, the mercenary, spawn mastershakeman has issued a correction as of 16:23 on Jan 16, 2022 |

Gets a bit (almost literally) masturbatory sometimes though. Once Upon a Time is a "Hail Caesar" style stumble, I think. Not a bad movie but made for a narrow audience

masturbatory nonsense is indicative of, if nothing else, passion i'll admit my bias in that i'm deeply in the boat for a movie like once upon a time in hollywood both for setting and tarantino's involvement but i'm going to side with weird passion I may or may not understand personally every time if the alternative is focus-tested garbage designed to ensure no strong emotions of any sort

tarantino generally seems to balance his desire to create niche films with creating stuff that most people will enjoy. when he talks about films he talks about wanting them to be fun to watch. i wish we had more auteurs like him producing films in the various genres they like. i do think once upon a time in hollywood is perhaps his worst film, but it's also still miles ahead of most films and i really liked it.

That's very fair. I will take an interesting but flawed product of actual creative passion versus a plot-by-numbers mass market film any day. My major gripe is just that Hollywood felt like a huge step back for him after The Hateful Eight, which is some of the most beautiful cinematography and leisurely plotting I've seen in a modern film

i am for the record inclined to agree that the plane example specifically is a bad one but i still agree with the broader point given the extent to which adults unironically build their entire personalities around harry potter and marvel to an extent that even actual children dont do because theyre addicted to youtube not millennial pop culture bullshit

[insert Simpsion reference here. ] One of the most genius tweets from a gen x, to paraphrase nobody will understand how much bad tv we watched just to see something good. Before I was 18 yep, I was in that boat too. And it was probably true for baby boomers after they turned 18 because television took over their lives. "We played outside!"
