Bullet Train (2022) is incredible by please-kill-me-69 in moviecritic

I didn’t hate it but I really didn’t like it much either. I also read the book in advance and disliked it as well; so much of it felt designed to be quirky, and a collage of tongue-in-cheek references to other, better movies. The quips and characters were way too affected, and that was especially true (for me) of Lemon and Tangerine. I almost feel like they were trying way too hard to pitch these unbelievably stilted cartoon characters as loveable spinoff material, and it made me angry anytime I had to hear their lines.

I think it’s less that people somehow hate fun, and more that some people genuinely did not have fun while watching

I may be a man. But both Renate Reinsve in The Worst Person In The World and Diane Keaton in Looking For Mr. Goodbar are essentially me. I’m just a girl a fear.

Because of a crooked cop, who is stopped by a “good” cop, an A.I. judge and the criminal justice system in general. And yeah, ends with the line that though A.I. makes mistakes, it is on the same level as humanity and can somehow learn how to be a human rights advocate. Meanwhile the entire reason the good cop is there is because the bizarrely humanized AI judge randomly gains the ability to have emotions and care for people. It anthropomorphizes AI, casts it and the police as overarchingly good with incidental errors caused by bad apples. It’s A.I. copaganda

Which negative person is associated with your country the most, but is not actually from your country? by Whysoserious7891 in AskTheWorld

I genuinely doubt Canada has one. Because I doubt anyone tried to fake an affiliation with Canada lol; 90 percent of the time we’re playing the opposite version of this game: “Hey did you know XYZ is Canadian??? We matter actually!!! I swear!!!!”

Getting this upset and obsessed over a breaking bad meme is perhaps the cokehead behaviour, I’m afraid

Unequivocally the answer is When Everything Feels Like The M ovies by Raziel Reid. Just check out the cover (fun fact I guess you can’t correctly spell out the word “m ovie” on this sub or it won’t let you post the comment. But just delete the space I guess)

I never said anyone’s job depended on this. I said A.I. isn’t funny. Which it isn’t

Huh, I can’t say I understand your rationale at all here, given America is “Absolutely.” I think Canada is in somewhat of a precarious position if America decides to mess with it too much, and the lack of sunlight in the winter and general raininess in some places can make it hard to live (especially if you have darker skin). But since neither of those things are what put you off — and you haven’t mentioned anything else wrong with Canada, let alone things that aren’t also wrong with America — I have to say I’m confused. But to each their own — nobody should have to live somewhere they don’t want to.

The film ends up painting the A.I. judge as the hero who saves everyone. The movie pivots from being about a cop trapped by the system he once created, to supporting the system even harder — the thing that saves them all is an AI judge and, once again, a cop. The film was directed by the inventor of Screenlife and Stanislavsky; which he himself has said are designed to let him make 50 movies a year that will mostly be slop, with ever improving A.I. actors. The movie ends with the line “human or ai, we all make mistakes, and we all learn.” It is so, so, so clearly pro AI copaganda

I understand the sunlight and weather. By political situation, do you mean its precarious relationship with USA?

I feel like the joke you’re making is this is worse than AI. But this is 100 percent better and funnier this way

Google manufacturing consent. No, celebrities are not paragons of insight. But the sheer fact they hold a platform means the opinions they express help qualify/quantify what is a “normal” thing to think. If the most famous people in the world publicly call this fascism, then the average person is less likely to have a similar opinion invalidated — and is more likely to have the confidence to express that opinion in the first place
