Discovering since getting my thoughts down that somehow some people watched this movie and just accepted Marty as a protagonist to root for. WTF? Thatās like watching Reality Bites and not wishing fucking murder upon Ethan Hawkeās character. Acceptable if youāre sexually attracted to him I guess, but otherwise a truly ridiculous reaction. This Marty character is a fucking punk-ass. I hate everyone who doesnāt share my contempt for him.
Still love the movie. I just processed it through the Uncut Gems prism of āsome people unfortunately act like this; hereās a good artistic depiction of it.ā

Does anyone actually like or care about these Avatar movies? I got dragged to the last one and all I remember were a bunch of weird blue giants running around with no storyline.

I saw the first one in IMAX 3D when it came out, the visuals were a great experience but I didnāt care about the story or the characters at all. I donāt know why itās been so successful as a franchise.
The Great Flood (2025)
A disastrous great flood sweeps the planet. On what may be the last day on Earth, a desperate fight ensues to save a child from a flooding apartment.
A wild swing! And a huge miss. It has three compelling movies crudely melded into one.
The first is a disaster movie about a mom and her young son trying to survive a global flood by taking refuge in a high-rise apartment complex.
The second is a time paradox movie where the mother fails to escapeāthen replays the exact same events with a different decision to survive that obstacle.
The third is a post apocalyptic sci-fi movie about an elite team of scientists attempting to save humanity by digitizing everyoneās consciousness.
Now to me, those all sound GREAT. But all three at the same time? Terrible.
āYou literally canāt spoil this movieā haha
Agree it was awesome have not seen the movie yet but will this week
I am an unexpected stan for the movies as they are so visually stunning so we will see if I like the new one. It sounds pretty bad though
I just donāt know why they canāt use some of the hundreds of milllons of the budget to hire someone to write character and story arcs anyone would ever care about. Itās so bad.

Found this on reddit AlignmentChartFills (a subreddit people vote on each square).
Actually seems pretty decent?

Iāll go to my grave not understanding what people see in The Truman Show.
When did you first see it?
Saw it as a high schooler when it was new in theaters. Bounced off of me. Rewatched it at some point in the past decade and it did nothing to convince me.
When I first saw it, I was just kind of in awe that Jim could play such a dramatic role. At that point, he was famous for movies like Ace Ventura, The Mask, and Dumb and Dumber. The most ādramaticā role heād played was The Cable Guy. Then in 1997, he put out Liar Liar and The Truman Show. It was stunning to see him playing something other than a buffoon and doing it well.
Then I watched it again and was like hmm, this is also a good movie.
You nailed it. Extra credit for Carrey in a dramatic role before people knew he had it in him.

That movie has enduring popularity, and the notion of Carrey as a capable all-purposes actor is no longer a novelty. Iām thinking itās mostly getting credit forā¦being good, I guess. Peter Weir seems to cast some spell where people just see something that I donāt (see also: lots of people going out of their minds over the quintessential āyeah, that oneās fineā movie, Master and Commander).

Itās a Neil diamond coverband right? Arguing with a cousin about the authenticity of the Neil diamond being portrayed.
It is a Neil Diamond cover band, yeah.
As the extremely specific āNeil Diamond cover bandā subgenre goes, itās definitely worse than Saving Silverman.

Not only are people weird about that movie, but they also donāt seem to understand that 10 billion people canāt collectively rise up and declare a movie āunderratedā without defeating their own claim.
