Will Smith is a good actor.

Will Smith's acting wasnt the issue with the film.

Also the narrative on racism wasnt stereotypical.

Baby Driver would at least be interesting since that's a good movie whose talking points constantly get boiled down to just "YEAH BUT THE MUSIC SYNCHS UP!". Ready Player One is just a bad movie based on a terrible book directed by a guy whose best work is twenty years ago.

Also the only reason people give any shit about Neil Breen is because they're being 'ironic' since RLM talked about one that one time with Max Landis, the guy that wrote Bright. People want him to be the next Tommy Wiseau because they're all in on the joke even though there's no joke left.

Baby Driver is an average movie but it's original. For every good interesting thing it does, it does something bad in an interesting way too.

Ready Player One is better than the book but that's not saying much. Ernest Kline has never made anything good ever.

Hmm see the problem is that everyone who has seen a Neil Breen movie loves them and everyone knows exactly why they love them. There is nothing really controversial to discuss, everyone is on the same page with that series.

I want to do more in-depth discussions on films with themes or elements that most people may or may not have noticed. Or rather choose to ignore.

A good example is that how although absolutely loved by everyone, Ex-Machina is a super super feminist movie and the whole film is about different kinds of feminism reacting to social norms.

But i've commited to talking about bad movies, so I need something divisive. I would have loved to do Wonder Woman or Baby Driver and while those films are massively overrated and poor in many ways, they don't quite reach 'bad' status for this thread.

Fuck it, I'll do Ready Player One.

Ernest Kline made me laugh hard with his terrible 'poem' about porn so I'll chalk that up as a good because it's shit.

And the Tommy Wiseau thing come full circle again, but now with neckbeard books.

<Snipped quote by Fabricant451>

I'd say YMS' reviews added to his popularity, too. I'm not ashamed to admit I'm a total sucker for YMS, but a lot of the movies he reviews get piledived after the joke has ended.

also yeah ex-machina is super feminist but the subject matter is handled in a good way so its not a bad thing dont @ me

You must have me confused for this guy here:

M'lady [+]

I'm not your right-wing discord pals, I don't actually think feminism is a bad thing bruh.

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>

I mean idk, you're the mayor of city pop.

<Snipped quote by Mara>

I forgot about him but yeah probably that too. But YMS doesn't have the charm of the hack frauds so I went with them.

<Snipped quote by Fabricant451>

YMS doesn't have any charm at all.

<Snipped quote by Mara>

Citypop is super-neckbeardy Im not even going to defend myself against that claim. But matching up with only 2 things from the starterpack means I'm safe.

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>

Don't worry, you'll always be a neckbeard in my heart.

In all seriousness, my point was referring to the fact that most movies with a feminist """"agenda"""" (at least modern ones) I've seen tend to be absolute garbo. There's good feminist movies out there, too, but for every Ex-Machina there's always gonna be 10 XXs. My trips to the cinema have been rare lately, though, so I'm not claiming to be some movie expert.

feminist """"agenda""""

what would you consider a feminist movie?

But dont let me put examples in your mouth, what would you consider a feminist movie?
