Speaking of, shocked this is still up but it was so cool:

Seeing boutique houses actually promote their VHS and Laserdisc preservation stuff is cool.

But seriously, yeah they do as little work as possible bringing this stuff to you. Might as well credit the crack team that brought you prebaked subtitles at that point.

Same but with Ferris Bueller. It was like 25 years of fast forwarding through the credits and getting rewarded like maybe 3 times before the Marvel movies showed up.

The solution is to watch the credits all the way through at normal speed while taking the time to reflect on the movie and enjoy the music that the creator selected to round out the experience. Otherwise, you simply haven't experienced the movie as intended.

The best way to watch credits is squished on the side of the screen while commercials start playing next to them

I know it's performative but I like watching the credits because people spent months or years of their lives on whatever I just watched and they deserve some recognition. Plus, there are sometimes funny names/job titles/messages to look for and who doesn't love when they have a section for crew pets?

I actually do generally love the first 15-30 seconds of the credits because that first music cue is usually well crafted and hits just right

I thought The Flash was exactly as good as it needed to be to be considered passable. Certainly a far cry from the advance reviews that were calling it incredible, but also not as bad as I expected considering how badly it flopped. If Ezra Miller had been less of a publicly terrible person , I think it would have been considered "pretty good but not perfect" by general audiences as well. It was certainly a deciding factor in why I didn't see it until now.

I would say that the story half of the movie was much, much better than the action half. I have an extremely soft spot for plots involving alternate universes and time travel and such though, so I'm pretty biased. Keaton Batman was fine, but all of the other cameos and characters and the ultimate reveal of the villains' motivations and resolution of all the action bits were just nothingburgers. I feel like that's partially by design considering what happens, and how the movie moves past it, but it still didn't make it satisfying.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
They had so little faith in the Flash that the entire climax is a Man of Steel alternate ending featuring a Michael Shannon performance so visibly annoyed by the fact that he has to keep doing this poo poo that it should be considered an act of hostility

When a movie ends, I'm glad I can move on with my life and do something else. I never watched credits in my life and I can't comprehend why anybody would consistently do it. I can reflect on the movie while washing dishes or doing literally anything else I have to do during the day.I don't need to be staring at the letters on the screen to appreciate what the creators of The Flash or similar garbage likely to include a post-credit scene intended me to experience. What's next? Sitting through the entirety of GTAV credits which took like 35 minutes?

I suspect you are being ironic but I'm so riled up I can't tell.

I unironically like to sit there and watch the credits, or peace out and listen to the music before coming back to earth, and I turn off the skip credits option for Netflix etc. since streaming sites like to have that on automatically and that's annoying (plus it helps for replay).

It's really weird to me that this would annoy anyone, particularly someone who's not in the room with me when I'm doing that.

Every CG effect is consistently terrible in a "first pass" way. The time travel stuff where the Flash travels through honey and looks at X-Box 360 characters is of course very noticeable, but the chase scene, billowing capes, and slow-mo effects are all also terrible. This lines up with the director saying they did it on purpose, but "make every visual effect look horrendously out of date" is less a style and more a deadline thing/"we didn't actually think we'd release this."

I thought the actual story of the movie worked despite all this. Ezra Miller is very talented, so it's a shame to watch them throw it all away.

I'm on episode four of Deadloch and I really can't stand this one character. I'm sure she gets better and gets redeemed and my opinion will be proven wrong by the end but the unpleasantness I've had to sit through still sucks. Everyone else is great it's just this one character and actor who is awful and annoying and keeping me from enjoying the twists and turns.

My verdict is: DON'T WATCH DEADLOCH. Don't waste your time.
