In Birdman (or The Unexpected Virtue of Ignorance) There are barely any scenes of Birdman, although Michael Keaton and Edward Norton get into a fistfight with Norton only in his underwear.

(Seriously though, actually go watch Birdman, it's awesome and rips all the superhero movies a new one.)

Also, I agree Birdman was fairly amazing. It seemed to me to be a personal reflection of Michael Keaton's life and career as Batman in the late 80's/early 90's

in Hitch the lesson is that it doesn't matter if you're a fat awkward nerd, rich heiresses should still date you because you're *~*honest and genuine*~*

at the end of Terminator Salvation you will literally not remember what happened in the movie, seriously the only thing i could tell you was that there were big robot droids and a desert

and at the end of Beerfest they prepare to do the exact same thing, but with weed

A comic book artist lady draws a monster and it comes to life! It kills people until she realizes that she can destroy the picture of the monster with paint thinner. Then she draws the victims back into existence.

But in a final, inexplicable bout of retardation she puts all her art in the fire because she is done with it and then her friends all burn alive.

the only thing birdman rips is 3 hours of your life for watching that piece of poo poo

its smug nonsensical garbage that continuously rubs in your face how HARD it is to be an actor and how HARD hollywood is. even if it is ed norton and miachel keaton i don't care because they play completely unlikable characters (every character in this movie is unlikeable) and just pluck conflict out of midair like halfway through the movie that you're supposed to care about somehow. im not even touching on the fact that the argument of art vs commercialism is a horse so thoroughly beaten that it has decayed completely

the jazz drum soundtrack and the swoopy cut-free camera are gimmicks that really serve no purpose to the movie and while they didn't gently caress it up completely it doesn't change the fact that they serve no purpose. they basically decided that they didn't need fundamental elements of film editing so they threw them out. Despite the movie being very clearly worse off for it (because of it's complete poo poo pacing and poor spatial awareness, the purpose that cuts serve) it's ~good~ because its ~different~.

if you want to watch a movie done in one take watch Rope, because despite being 70 years old it does everything better than this piece of poo poo and doesn't use it's gimmicks as crutches. surprise, it's actually a good movie rather than a meandering 3 hour waste of time because it's goal was to tell a story rather than argue a position nobody cares about
