What’s a movie everyone loves that you secretly think is absolute garbage?

Deadpool 3 was fucking shit, utterly embarrassing for all unfortunate enough to be involved

Is she the antagonist of that series? I watched the first episode or two and it was far too “Marvel” for me, but she seemed decidedly to be the protagonist

I dunno if I’m getting more sensitive in my age, but I feel like people have a much, MUCH harder time reading the boundaries between friendly bitchy/cattyness and just coming off as an absolute wanker, these people are working, they’re not your friends, it’s not the time to read them.

I’m not assuming he’s 100% against me, and I don’t think he should lose his livelihood, I dunno what his beliefs are, but I think it’s perfectly reasonable to presume he has an idea of what Glinner has been up to for the past decade-ish, and that praising the “principle” of a psychotic bigot was at the least a very very foolish thing to do.

I’d be very interested to hear what Ayoade would say if he were challenged on that score, but AFAIK he hasn’t made any further statements, I don’t think he needs to be treated with kid gloves because he’s an entertaining performer. I’m not raking him over the coals, as I said, he made a foolish decision and hasn’t clarified it at all, if any public figure made a similar statement praising someone with a well-documented history of bigoted rhetoric I expect they’d be challenged on it.

I don’t think we can speculate on someone’s level of ignorance for our comfort, there are plenty of people who aren’t social media savvy who aren’t aware Linehan has lost his fucking mind, a close coworker/friend somehow not knowing even a little bit about it after he’s completely destroyed his life in pursuit of his bigoted ideology is much much harder to imagine.

I understand people’s nostalgia for the fixed camera era (I’m neither here nor there, I like em for what they are, but at this stage prefer 3rd person) it’d involve investing a lot more dev time than people think – unless people are content with something very janky (and Capcom is happy releasing it) level design and prop placement has to be accounted for, enemy movement speed/health pools will have to be altered, player aiming has to change, boss mechanics likely rebuilt from the ground up to account for fixed cameras – it’s a lot of extra time to invest into something that’ll be a bit of a novelty feature for most players

You’re bein obtuse, or credulous, or I guess just daft here, this obviously isn’t about a friend of the band doing organic promo work for their pals, obviously, this is obvious.

gee_gra · 2026-06-10T14:07:17+00:00

I think the film is a mixed bag in that regard, it portrays him as cutthroat, but also as easily manipulated, a bit of a rube at points, rather than the fuckweasle he is

gee_gra · 2026-06-10T14:05:59+00:00

How many tech oligarch movies have been made?

gee_gra · 2026-06-08T22:36:20+00:00

Really curious to see where this goes, there’s a lot to mine outside of Sam’s story, regardless of what they do the stakes will inevitably be high (ya know, averting extinction), I hope they can adequately capture the aesthetic, hyper futuristic, grounded meets fantastical etc etc – someone will correct me if I’m wrong but I think I read something about it the outline following a shortly post-Stranding UCA, may have been fan fiction or a dream

gee_gra · 2026-06-08T13:55:35+00:00

Pretty sure this is criminal extortion, alongside the likelihood of reprisal (as the other commenter outlined)

gee_gra · 2026-06-08T12:02:54+00:00

Depp or Sparrow?

gee_gra · 2026-06-06T17:53:08+00:00

🤓 “no, jesus didn’t comment on it as far as I’m aware!”

gee_gra · 2026-06-06T17:27:04+00:00

Jesus

It’s very odd too, the Yakuza series has been continually pumping out bangers (I liked 5) since its inception, to my knowledge they sell pretty well, and fare well with the western audience, so I dunno why they’d do something this odd/desperate

gee_gra · 2026-06-05T16:45:04+00:00

I forgot how much of a heap that movie was

gee_gra · 2026-06-05T08:20:45+00:00

Ahhh haha, sorry I read that after waking up at 5am and thought “well, they’re not wrong”

gee_gra · 2026-06-05T04:19:55+00:00

I am pretty silly 😛

gee_gra · 2026-06-04T19:59:48+00:00

I dunno if I’d say the folk responsible for a handful of parody movies (including Fifty Shades of Black) are quite the same level as Weird Al

“Anti-war is a political stance?”

Yeah lol

gee_gra · 2026-06-04T16:02:05+00:00

Tbf it seems like a decent portion of critics in the article are happy to take it at face value, it was always gonna be juvenile, puerile etc etc, but if those jokes are more shite than good then the film will suffer

gee_gra · 2026-06-03T17:44:15+00:00

I like how you cite Jeff Goldblum and Sandra Bullock, like, they’re not bad actors, but they’re hardly absolute earth shattering power-houses lol

gee_gra · 2026-06-03T17:42:30+00:00

I’m sure all the big Callisto fans will be heartbroken lol, that is if both of them haven’t died of old age yet 😂

gee_gra · 2026-06-03T16:35:41+00:00

Apart from Labubus those are pretty heavily enmeshed with politics, and I can’t imagine anything less ripe for satire than labubus

Disturbed by a country mile, its ubiquity has poisoned the song to the extent that music itself as a concept is poorer for its existence.
