Rules: explain why
Ready player one.
That has to be one of the cringiest movies I’ve seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it’s “WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU’RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE” message and the whole “corporation bad, the people good” narrative seems written for toddlers… The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.
Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is “ugly”… Like wtf?
Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.
Yeah, I remember laughing out loud in the theater many, many times. But I was a 19-year-old dude in 2006, and was 20 when Superbad came out, and so that brand of humor hit me square in the funny bone.
That being said, comedy is very subjective, I’ll agree, but to call Borat unfunny is objectively wrong.
