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.
It makes babies/child-minded people laugh.
Unpopular opinion: Will Ferrell’s career in a nutshell it seems.
It’s interesting to point out that distinction. His career is pretty much based in absurdist humor.
Yeah I like this Saturday night live work, I liked him in The Lego movies and I also liked Spirited (2022)
I think my problem with Elf is that it was a train wreck comedy on top of the absurdist. And I find absurdist and parody to be relatively entertaining but train wreck is irredeemable.
