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.

      Fargo - fantastic

      Oh Brother Where Are Thou - not very memorable

      Burn After Reading - funny and entertaining but not very memorable

      No Country For Old Men - one of the best films of the 21st century

        Not very memorable? Yeesh. I could probably quote-along O Brother’s entire length, and tbe soundtrack is phenomenal.

        No Country For Old Men

        I feel the reason that this movie is so good is because it is almost 100% exactly as the story in book

        Hudsucker is such a great film. I didn’t care for much of their stuff but that and Lebowski were great.
