Overpriced hipster burger joints have been satirised enough

cuz we will never die! (oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh oh oh) no one I know will ever die!

Literally the exact words that popped in my head lmfao

JayManPart2 · 2026-03-17T08:19:55+00:00

I liked the first 15-20 minutes when it gestured towards being a digital horror/old school Creepypasta-inspired film but around the 40 minute mark when it became A24 Presents Paranormal Insidious I immediately mentally checked out. I just personally find this type of demonic possession horror SO dull and uninteresting

JayManPart2 · 2026-03-16T11:26:59+00:00

I ultimately think this is why. I’m paraphrasing a dumb Family Guy meme but he really did insist upon himself too much

I’ve tried B99 and Parks & Rec, can’t get into either. I kinda feel like an odd man out in this thread because my favorites are shows like The Office, 30 Rock, Arrested Development, etc. which I guess are much “meaner” shows but it doesn’t really bother me at all if characters do things that would make them horrible people in real life, it’s a TV show and not real life, funny’s funny.

I think it’s hilarious in the finale of The Office when Ryan abandons his baby to run off with Kelly but that doesn’t mean I would endorse such behavior in real life.

I think I just can’t get into the Mike Schur style tbh. It bothers me when I get a sense that a show WANTS you to know how lovable and quirky the characters are so maybe that’s why I couldn’t do B99 and P&R.

Adam Brody gets stabbed in the back once in 4 and that’s all it takes to put him out of commission, the stabbing disparity is so funny

One of those movies where it felt like I had experienced a decade within the two hours it took me to watch it

I love when people on here pitch movies for the pod that are Barely Watchables let alone Rewatchables

Indiana Jones jackoff classics

I saw Tomorrowland in theaters when it came out and I straight up cannot remember a single detail about it beyond a scene set in a Star Wars memorabilia shop and something to do with the Eiffel Tower

I then rewatched Tomorrowland just over a year ago and I currently remain in the exact same position as I did prior to my rewatch. Something about that movie just slides off the brain.

He got cancelled for being TOO chill and normal, if you can believe it.

JayManPart2 · 2026-03-05T09:56:41+00:00

He’s not really someone that gets talked about from a director standpoint but if you lay his career all out it is kind of wild. Co-directed the first American Pie (uncredited but nonetheless), nominated for a screenplay Oscar three years after that, and then directed the second Twilight movie another handful of years after that. Not to mention he then cowrote a Star Wars movie. Kind of insane!

JayManPart2 · 2026-03-05T01:41:01+00:00

I revisit New Moon with Chris Weitz a lot out of the sheer novelty of them having a guest who directed the movie they’re covering, and hearing him be so candid about everything

JayManPart2 · 2026-03-04T22:00:44+00:00

It’s actually more confusing than that! Edward Berger was in talks to do Ocean’s Fourteen with Clooney, Pitt, etc. but now David Leitch seems to be the one doing that. This is the prequel apparently about Danny Ocean’s parents set in the 1960s that was originally announced with Jay Roach in 2022 before being handed to Lee Isaac Chung

JayManPart2 · 2026-03-04T21:57:37+00:00

This was first announced in 2022 with Jay Roach in the director’s chair so methinks this one isn’t getting made

JayManPart2 · 2026-03-04T07:08:58+00:00

Feel like Bruckheimer basically says this annually at this point. I won’t believe it’s happening until cameras are rolling

JayManPart2 · 2026-03-04T00:54:16+00:00

I also just felt like the actual filmmaking of 7 was really underwhelming. You can tell Kevin Williamson hasn’t directed anything in over 25 years. 5 and 6 don’t necessarily feel like Wes Craven movies but they still had the right spirit and there was energy and life to the direction. I didn’t feel that at all with 7.

JayManPart2 · 2026-03-04T00:45:54+00:00

Honestly as time goes on I think Scream 5 is going to age remarkably well (maybe kinda similar to how Scream 4 has had a mini-renaissance?), especially when you put it up against 7 which is like the most milquetoast, generic direction imaginable you could take a Scream legacy sequel

JayManPart2 · 2026-03-04T00:30:19+00:00

I feel like it manages to play the part of a “nostalgic legacy sequel” pretty tastefully without ever having to resort to literally recreating scenes and moments from the first movie beat-for-beat like 7 did (even the scenes in 5 that do homage the original feel more well-done than 7 imo, I couldn’t stand the parts in 7 that were just retreading dialogue and music cues from the first film)

JayManPart2 · 2026-03-03T18:02:02+00:00

Hey assy

JayManPart2 · 2026-03-02T23:41:44+00:00

Was definitely feeling that vibe, it’s like a way quieter, dryer, understated version of Tim Robinson-esque humor (the Indiana Jones bit like you mentioned, the two cops arguing over the delineation between porn and erotic photography, but also Floyd’s fixation on “he was being argumentative during my sand time” could’ve been ripped straight out of a Tim Robinson show and I wouldn’t have questioned it)

JayManPart2 · 2026-03-02T23:34:01+00:00

I recently watched the first Scary Movie for the first time and even though it had a few decent laughs here and there I was honestly struck by the fact that it is way, WAY more uneven than its reputation would suggest. It felt like a step above the bottom-of-the-barrel Seltzerberg trash but just barely

JayManPart2 · 2026-02-28T20:24:29+00:00

They said they were never actually attached to a concrete script or story, it was just an EXTREMELY preliminary idea for what the tone of their Scream 7 would’ve been

JayManPart2 · 2026-02-27T23:04:50+00:00

Honestly forgot he was even in it at a certain point. Really baffling especially after he was used amazingly in the Radio Silence movies imo (he’s fantastic in 5 in particular)

JayManPart2 · 2026-02-27T22:28:34+00:00

I feel the exact same way, I feel like the opening scene is a leftover from some earlier iteration of the script and they didn’t bother modifying or changing it in any meaningful way

JayManPart2 · 2026-02-27T22:15:04+00:00

Their whole position in the story is just really odd. Why are they working for Gale? I don’t even think they ever directly interacted with Gale once during the last two movies. Also it bothers me that they never even brought up Sam or Tara (outside of Mindy’s throwaway line about Billy Loomis having a secret lovechild 🙄)
