Here’s a terrifying thought. Since we’re in the midst of a stupid person revolution, are ALL revolutions stupid people who are tired of being, um stupid, I guess, and reminded of their stupidity? So they lash out against intelligence? Like junior high school bullies, I mean.

yep, because automation is coming whether you like it or not.

Has minimum wage tracked the general economy? I’m wondering if biz owners— of a place like McDonald’s — today pay as much in labor costs as they did, say, 30 years ago.

you’re a goddamned moron, plain and simple.

Yes, that is true. But by the time I’m ready to buy new again I’m sure there will be new car direct-to-consumer sellers. Though having said that, my next new car will likely be a Tesla if they’re still around in 5 or so years.

I don’t care about the Tesla model but I bought my Tacoma from Beepi, and I highly doubt I’ll ever set foot in an auto dealership again. Two weeks before I bought my truck, sight unseen on my damn phone, I had to endure two days of bullshit phone calls and emails and outright lying from a local dealer as I tried to…

thanks - 1st thing i wondered was: what now?

Can someone remind me of the point of Ohio and Michigan? The entire states, I mean.

Well sure, but The Lobster has no merits.

“The Lobster regarding modern society’s expectations about the idea of being in a relationship and the toxicity that comes out of that”

Well sure. Professional critics have to love a movie like The Lobster. It’s weird simply for the sake of being weird. It’s a ham-fisted attempt at depth. The convoluted plot isn’t actually a deep or meaningful observation — it’s simply meant to be convoluted. Critics love that kinda thing. I don’t base my like or…

I would not say that there are “innumerable” better movies than Interstellar and Snowpiercer.

I hope that on your scale “The Lobster” is THE most overrated.

Bought one of these for $4 at Walmart last summer. Works totally fine.

Nor true. Plenty of us overeducated film snobs hated that movie. I honestly can’t think of a single redeeming quality.

This is the lamest of takes.

It’s amazing in the sense that people will convince themselves that it has merit just because it’s weird. The only people I’ve talked to who liked it at all are in or have recently been in terrible long-term relationships, so it served as a kind of catharsis. The first third was fine, I laughed a bit, but then it…

I was so glad to walk out on that film. Felt like I’d escaped a prison. Almost tried to lead the whole theater with me.

It’s terrible. So, so terrible.

The Lobster was probably one of the 5 worst movies I’ve ever seen. Walked out with only about 20 mins left, so little did I care about how it ended. Peerlessly awful.
