Not denying this guy is an asshole, but that is a pretty popular copy/paste meme

Why do people always remake good movies? This is the perfect movie to remake - one that is universally agreed to have a pretty good premise, but bad-to-middling reviews.

I’ve read a little bit of Ayers screenplay, and its pretty terrible. Assuming it was real, it is comically bad.

I’m excited, this looks like a lot of fun.

I rewatched The Truman Show for the first time in around a decade earlier this year, and completely forgot he was in it. It’s always a pleasant surprise to see Giamatti.

But if Giamatti had been in it, we would have had something better than perfect

I watched Saltburn last night (pretty good) and Elordi was phenomenal in it. I think you’re allowed to shit on previous works you considered beneath you if you’ve proven yourself.

Look what they took from us. LOOK WHAT THEY TOOK FROM US

I don’t like his movies, but I really hope he just digs in and has his next film be even less subtle, and keeps doing that until his movies are just a series of famous actors citing studies on climate change directly at the screen and it gets nominated for best picture for some reason.

I have the energy of a spry middle-aged fucker!

I mean, I agree with you but I’m not even 20, so I’d like to think I’m not a crotchety old man. Maybe I should just go to expensive pretentious theaters that enforce this kind of stuff more. Maybe I should just stop giving a shit.

Yeah, I guess that’s fair. I guess pre-pandemic I didn’t go to the movies all that much, I’ve been going a lot this past year or so, so the odds I’ll have a bad experience rises.

The pandemic really did ruin public etiquette. When I went to see Killers of the Flower Moon, someone brought a fucking baby into the theater, and when the baby cried (2 hours in, which is actually pretty impressive), instead of leaving they just tried to calm the baby down in the middle of the theater. So obnoxious.…

His appearance as Santos on Kimmel was pretty funny, but I think it was one of those situations where the casting is so perfect that it is funnier than anything specific you could do with it.

It was pretty clearly a joke to me

Fair enough, but in my defense I feel like most people would say that Steve Carrell got his ‘start’ from The Office even though he was on The Daily Show before that.

and wave em like you just don’t c-Ayer

I haven’t seen it, but The Last Duel was pretty well-liked, wasn’t it?

I don’t dislike it because it’s lazy as much as I dislike it because it’s condescending. But yeah, that was a little condescending

I dunno, I don’t see it as trying to be seen as smart as much as I just see it as people doing things they think are funny. Like, I don’t see Tim Robinson writing a skit about someone going on a dating show just to use the zipline and thinking “I’ve created a comedic masterpiece”, I just imagine him thinking it was a…
