it was a tough battle between this and ready player one but at the end of the day this movie is the single worst theater experience i’ve ever had. so, so, *so* stupid, but *so* convinced of its own cleverness and profundity. zack snyder is such an instinctually fascist filmmaker but he‘s too fucking stupid to weave his savage impulses into a coherent worldview, so everything he makes is just two hours of The Most Serious Guys In the World doing their best punisher impression while saying the dumbest shit you’ve ever heard in your life. i had seen bad movies before this, but i had never seen a movie in theaters that was bad enough that it was able to totally overwhelm the natural aura bonus a film gets from being screened in one. was a valuable flashpoint in my cultural development and maybe fundamentally shattered any interest i had in superhero movies until into the spiderverse

still kinda mad with how these movies fumbled Ben Affleck as Batman and Henry Cavill as Superman. good performers stuck with cringey scripts and heavy-handed directors.

So fucking bad it was laughable like truly made me understand why people purposely watch bad movies plot is just horrible the way it was filmed and advertised was just ugly the random side characters and quests genuinely such a mess of a movie and it’s sad when I think what could’ve been with that movie but damn I never laughed so hard

On a technical level it is just about the worst movie I’ve ever seen. Horrible pacing, acting is tragic, digital effects are outrageous and unnecessary. Just truly a rotten film. It is also my favorite movie of all time.

I just watched this in the cinema last night and was completely bowled over by the plethora of opportunities they had to make it a good movie, and every single time they just did the exact opposite. It's STAGGERINGLY boring. Don't get me started on the fuckass wig they put my girl Tilda Swinton in. Also it's a musical. And I love musicals. And I did not love this one. Also honourable mention to Emilia Pérez which I think is the worst movie ever made maybe. But I think you can watch EP high with your friends and laugh.

spent the last two weeks working on an interactive guide, recommendations database, and digital library (link depot) to help get people off of social media. the first draft is done now, and it's at the link to this post. it's still very much a work in progress (the library is especially thin atm) - which is why i wanted to share it here before unleashing it upon my IRL friends and the general public. i welcome any and all feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for things to add. i will be pushing updates to it out like a madman in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back every so often to see new additions to the database and library. additionally, i am still on the hunt for newsletters from local venues / community organizations / magazines / newspapers, etc. the only cities i have remotely covered so far are nyc, orlando, denver, brisbane, and little bits of worcester and chicago. if you know anything in your area that fits the bill, send it my way!
