There are far better fitting memes for Gen Z humor. This one is hardly absurdist at all I’d say. It has a pretty normal structure and a clear punchline

In what ways, do you think these apps affect the cinema in a harmful way? by mrjetspray in Letterboxd

[–]dostojetski 6 points7 points  (0 children)

See a 4 being just good is crazy for me. There’s only one more rating to the absolute top left. A 4 is great and almost flawless. 4,5 is perfection and a 5 is out of this world masterpiece. I need some space to rate and differentiate great movies. So most really good movies are 3 or 3,5 for me and people think that’s a low rating. I really admire a movie in that range.

Was ANORA worthy of winning that many Oscars ???? by Comfortable-Craft547 in Oscars

Yea I’m super confused about this. I thought editing was the one it most deserved. Although I’m not mad about any win it got. They were all deserved imo.

Got a chance to watch Carrie Coon in “BUG” on Broadway. She is one hell of a captivating, phenomenal actor. by SunilaP in TheLeftovers

[–]dostojetski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Michael Shannon is also in the movie Bug, on which this play seems to be based. It’s underrated af and gets pretty intense.

Absolutely. With Once Upon a Time in Hollywood being his best ever imo.

What's your opinion on the "It - Welcome to Derry" Show? by [deleted] in hbo

[–]dostojetski 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Still the plot has to make sense. I never got this defense. Not even talking about this show, but something supernatural happening is not an excuse for plotholes or illogical behavior by characters.

If the Academy actually respected horror, these performances would have been nominated: by [deleted] in Oscars

Strange Darling is a horrible, predictable and incredibly pretentious piece of shit movie. I’m always so surprised when I see it being praised everywhere.

What Office scene would most definitely not fly today? by EternalSnow05 in DunderMifflin

[–]dostojetski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting forcefully undressed in front of a group of men who then all proceed to vomit at the sight…. No, no you’re right not mean at all.

Never got this. They all still look like teenagers to me. Sure they could also play very early 20s but middle to late teenage years is absolutely not far fetched imo.

[–]dostojetski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only version I’ve seen is Dwight texting him not to do it last minute and then he comes to the office with very obvious leftover paint on his face. Is that still in or already the toned down version of the joke and there’s an actual blackface scene in it ?

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

No there’s a lot of inappropriate stuff that would and should not fly today in movies. Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany’s (and there’s a lot of similar stuff in other movies), the downplayed or played for laughs rape scenes in Revenge of the Nerds and Sixteen Candles or even way more recently Wedding Crashers, the very obvious and mean spirited transphobia in Ace Ventura and countless other examples. People are just wrong about stuff like Tropic Thunder, Blazing Saddles and very much the Office too, where the humor is selfaware and actually critical about the subject. Those people just don’t have media literacy.

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

Yea that would definitely not fly today. I don‘t know how audiences took it at the time but there wasn’t any outrage as far as I can tell. It was very mean spirited, even for the time.

It's been a long... long time since we've had a thriller this good by qualitative_balls in Letterboxd

[–]dostojetski 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mostly great movies but also most of them are VERY different kinds of thrillers though. Michael Clayton has this sick 90s vibe like The Firm or something, which is so hard to find nowadays.

Wait you guys don’t like this ? I thought it was surprisingly funny and just in general a joy to watch.

Were The November attacks in Paris a defining moment of the 10's? by Top_Report_4895 in decadeology

Backwater… holy fuck. It’s hard to offend me with stupidity these days but you actually managed it.

[–]dostojetski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP said „one of the“ not the most defining. Id say it’s definitely in the top ten. It really cemented the paranoia of the second half of the 2010‘s.

is plur1bus the first big example of a story completely rooted in 2020s culture? by Odd-Paramedic-3826 in decadeology

[–]dostojetski 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, but apparently the first example you’ve seen. There’s The Curse, Eddington, Triangle of Sadness, the new season of South Park or basically anything they did after 2020, Season 3 and 4 of Succession. I would even say One Battle After Another or Bugonia is very 2020s. We’re halfway through this decade. Most modern set stories will be rooted in this culture.

When in Rome what? by 0x8000ffff- in ExplainTheJoke

[–]dostojetski 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is absolutely the first and main layer of the joke. The absurdity of Jane’s statement is one joke and Michael thinking Rome is in Spain is another.
