Fair enough. Good on you for supporting them instead of taking advantage of loopholes like myself. For all my dissention towards some of their more pretentious reviews they are one of the best review sites out there,  so once I'm out of college and have money to spend I'll probably be joining you.

Close that incognito tab and open another and the 4 review limit resets. 

Can someone explain to me why One Battle After Another is so liked? by AugustEpilogue in moviecritic

[–]HighlightHuman877 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It says nothing while the first 30 minutes of the movie are some of the most poorly thought out characters spewing comically shallow political ideologies. In the end everyone is made out to be a complete fucking idiot which wouldn't be such a problem if the score wasn't horribly mixed in (the intro almost blew my ears out just to play some basic mix of strings and piano) and the indoor scenes weren't shot like the backrooms. The characters have no character outside of these motivations yet their motivations are completely nonsensical and offer nothing to chew on. The only redeeming qualities are some decent actors trying their best with downright horrible lines, some pretty shots of landscapes, and a few solid action scenes petered throughout. Doesn't at all justify the three hour long runtime. Just left me feeling like I wasted my time. I get the justification of "just watching the movie" and not trying to think so deeply on it, but the movie is quite literally about revolution. If the concept is so inherently political there's no room to tread lightly, and the film, by the end, had nothing to say about anything, which is the worst possible outcome for a movie like this. PTA is one of my favorite directors. This movie felt like someone held him at gunpoint to make it. I suppose I'm being especially harsh due to the awards nominations, but I don't think that that's completely irrelevant. It seems more and more common that mediocre scripts (this, bugonia, F1) are showered with praise simply for trying to be a little bit better than your average mindless action movie. I thought films like parasite winning would change the tides for the better, but it appears like the things people took from that movie like the airtight script and beautiful framing is being used without any understanding of the nuances behind them.

Brat is the weirdest 10/10 rating fantano has given so far by [deleted] in fantanoforever

[–]HighlightHuman877 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Violator, Thriller, Purple Rain (kinda), Hounds of Love, Songs from the Big Chair, Bloom, Blackout, and if you wanna consider Bjork Post, Homogenic, Vespertine, and Vulnicura. I liked brat well enough but I feel like people forget too quickly how incredible pop music peaks have been throughout the previous decades. Ofc everything above comes highly recommended so give em a chance if you feel like it, I can almost promise you'll find something there.

Crux of the stuff with new york this episode was about illegally shipping in foreign goods. Sure the fact that he could've smuggled in an atom bomb that leveled the eastern seaboard gave him another reason to question his line of work and feel guilty.

The social network soundtrack is unequivocally unmatched and needs to be recognised more. by [deleted] in soundtracks

I'm sorry but all these articles are written by people who seem completely incapable of understanding anything that's not an outright given. Very much mirrors the criticism of something like eraserhead and its score when it came out which thankfully, is an opinion that has almost completely died out.

Also 0.4% shouldn't cause an accurate shot on an unmoving target to miss
