nonathlon posted:Agreed. One perceptive review of Saltburn noted that it's a film by a rich person on how rich people are kinda hosed up but it's not their fault. Yeah it definitely had this undercurrent:of "watch out for the crazy poors" Absolute trash movie. But someone was just telling me it's the Xmas movie if the season, with a bunch of families thinking it's a mystery set in the English countryside and instead get a dude loving a grave lmao

Ghost Leviathan posted:Isn't the joke in Beetlejuice that the ghost couple are the 'ordinary' suburbanites while Lydia's parents are weird goths who bought the house specifically because it was said to be haunted? Beetlejuice even has to teach them how to be scary ghosts because they're so comically mild-mannered. They didn't know it was haunted, but when they discovered it was haunted they decided to make it into a money making scheme

Ghost Leviathan posted:Movie producers basically consider movies to be assemblages of parts and don't understand the idea that they can be considered 'good' or 'bad' rather than just being assembled with the incorrect parts to unlock audiences spending billions of dollars to see them. im convinced a big reason why chemistry as a concept is dead in hollywood productions is because producers straight up dont believe that its real the job of actors is to act so its an independent skill set that has nothing to do with who theyre working with

Srice posted:Killers of the Flower Moon was 3.5 hours long so as far as I'm concerned it's a tiny miracle that it was able to play in theaters and do pretty well for itself, since once you get beyond 3 hours theaters are gonna start to balk at that unless it's a mega popular franchise. this movie felt like it could have been shorter but i dont really knwo what they could have cut

Uncle Boogeyman posted:which was worse: Glass Onion or The Menu glass onion was worse because it was so far up its rear end about how clever it was the menu was just boring triangle of sadness was less a movie and more a mash of ideas pulled out of a bag, not bad but it feels like a tv pilot that got rejected that they cut into a feature film

glass onion spends the entire movie winking at you and nudging you. "isn't this fun?! we're having fun! this is a cheeky movie!" it's like whoever wrote it had no idea why people liked knives out and focused in on "wacky daniel craig! actors! they're acting!"

but ultimately all of these movies achieved their purpose: tricking me into watching them so it's hard to say what "good" and "bad" even mean
