Rules: explain why
Ready player one.
That has to be one of the cringiest movies I’ve seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it’s “WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU’RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE” message and the whole “corporation bad, the people good” narrative seems written for toddlers… The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.
Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is “ugly”… Like wtf?
Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.
Twister.
The movie is like a big turkey dinner meal and Ambien to me. I have fell asleep trying to watch it at least 3x… now I own the movie and if I am super restless I will put it on to sleep.
twister is a dumb movie that looked and felt amazing at the theater. that’s it. even as a kid I thought it was dumb but I had fun because the atmosphere was good. I don’t even know how one would even remotely enjoy it on any screen smaller than that.
I have a soft spot for that movie because we had it on VHS growing up, which means I probably saw it at least a dozen times. Watching it feels nostalgic and I genuinely love how absurd and campy the plot is sometimes.
The villain is a villain because he’s trying to accomplish the exact same goal of putting himself in danger to learn about tornadoes to save people’s lives. The only difference is he’s doing it with corporate sponsors and a team of professionals instead of hacking it all together in a barn and relying on a bunch of stoners in an RV.
God I love that movie.
I liked the way they showed the storms. it felt like I could smell the air. also the cow is just a timeless classic.
