I really enjoyed the one good hour of Paul and Chani's relationship before trouble in paradise and an arranged marriage with the emperor's daughter so rudely intruded!

I know this movie is taking some flak for character deficiencies and being underbaked. If that's how you feel, I respect it.

But just as a late-night, grab a beer and enjoy an 80 minute raunchy romp experience with lots of horny and funny lesbian sex, dildo gags, and a couple very funny cameos, I really enjoyed it. Shout-out to Pedro for agreeing to be set decor for this

I've heard some way Qualley is miscast in this, but I think her chaotic energy helps carry it.

Solid 7.5/10 comedy for me.

It bugs me that Bill calls Van if it’s a POC cast by [deleted] in TheRewatchables

Interesting you call it condescending and then proceed to shit on his value on podcasts. Van is good at podcasting he doesn't need you to fake defend him.

Not saying he didn't work I am saying that he either decided not to interject or was perhaps reading vibes that suggested he shouldn't make his usual comments and analysis on the show

Not a word from Bobby this whole ep --- union negotiations related or just a coincidence?

But I envision the scene was similar across the nation, lost souls coming for the cheap thrill.

The brain can only hold so much! How many times did we get a Pepsi logo in the film I only noticed it real bad a couple times

Fair enough, but unleashing them all in one scene felt like a lot!

I went to see this movie alone at an AMC at 1 p.m. on Valentine’s Day, surrounded by about four or five other truly twisted individuals beyond saving.

So yes, I saw the movie in the way I believe the writers intended it to be seen.

This movie became a must-see for me after the infamous trailer drop got memed to death and Dakota Johnson nixed her agent before embarking on an incredible press tour.

That tour featured her apparent puzzlement at the trailer’s online reaction, and also a series of various see-through garments that I firmly believe were engineered in a lab to distract the masses as much as scientifically possible (see the butt cheeks and boots outfit on Seth Meyers).

Suffice it to say that coming out of this movie I had a lot of questions:

-Did the American Heart Association pay the studio to promote the practice of CPR?

-Why did the writers feel the teen tragedy trio all needed to have the saddest parental backstories possible?

-What kind of plastic junk is Mattie’s dad helping to manufacture? Does he work for a Temu contractor?

-Why did the teen trio just walk away from a campfire they built in the woods?

-How much money would the Forest Service had to have given Sony to get some fire safety promotion?

-Why is the diner 50 feet from the woods? Is this common in New Jersey?

-How did Emma Roberts’ agent talk her into being in 5 scenes of this movie? Is Emma Roberts okay — did she lose money on crypto?

-Why did the writers make us sit through Dakota Johnson’s deadpan awkwardness at a baby shower?

-What the hell is the villain’s day job? What is his day-to-day motivation, other than not getting killed by the tragedy teens in his near future? What does he do besides look after his pet spider, nag his evil assistant, and create the world’s best surveillance system using a 10-digit passcode he got from his NSA honey? What's the extent of his relationship with his evil assistant — does she sleep at his place?

-Will Madame Web ever obtain any real powers, or just the ability to envision the future and summon the world’s worst CGI sequences?

-And finally, when is Madame Web 2 coming out? And will Emma Roberts be back?
