I watched this last night, never seen a more pretentious film. And I'm sad about it too cause it had some really interesting parts within the film that could have been focused on as the main part of the movie and been way more interesting.

Like if it was an entire film about a conductor's reputation being ruined by people online, that would've been way more interesting. But it wasn't, that was only select parts of the movie and the end.

Or maybe it could've honed in on those really creepy and tense moments, since they were fun to watch, unlike the rest of this movie.

I was confused and struggled to care. Maybe I would've liked it more if it was shorter. It tested my patience the entire time.

I can see parts of which that people liked about this movie, but in the end, it's pretentious. It thinks it's a masterpiece and I believe it lacks care for the audience.

Doesn't deserve 6 oscar nominations.

The Menu. I know it's a new film, but I've already seen it twice and that feels like enough for now. The film specifically makes a point on how doing something over and over again ruins the point, and so watching it again in recently would feel like I'm going against the movie.

Ooo I just watched this last night. Whilst I too thought it was going to be a lot more fun before I watched it (not because of any trailer, I almost never see trailers before watching films) I still really loved it.

I think I was expecting something more like Hot Fuzz for some reason? But it fell more in line with Martin McDonagh's other films and that still works well for me. It has it's own type of comedy that I enjoy (love a good jest against the Americans).

Can't say much about the trailer, maybe next time don't watch trailers? I find going in with a loose sense of what the movie is about is best and surprise surprise you get less misled cause there wasn't much there to mislead you from the start.

I wouldn't make it exactly about the Will Smith thing, I'm not super into films about real event since they're almost always false and exploitative. I mean, he's still alive.

Maybe if they could pull it off like The Social Network, then sure. But I'd be much more interested in a movie BASED around this idea or inspired by such event. You can do a lot more with that without getting a lot of real life people involved with the event angry and it's probably less offensive.

I haven't seen Jordan Peele's other films, though I am planning to since I really enjoyed Nope. People each have different ways of watching films and if you watch enough you definitely build a skill of digger deeper and understanding media literacy.

Though to a general audience, it tends to only go surface level.

For example, most people will see Alien as a movie about just Ellen Ripley against the Xenomorph and such, whilst others will see the deeper ideas of pregnancy and rape.

Yikes, ok I probably should've backtracked before posting my first comment. I was going through OP's post history before to try see if he had made any other film-based posts, I was curious. So when I found that he seemed to have a WAY bigger interest in rugby, I guess I jumped to conclusions.

Though part of what I said was meant to be a joke and really just there to rile people up.

Sports and Movies each have a pretty different audiences when you get down to proper fans in the industries, and when it seems like you only watch films on occasion, it makes me assume that films aren't really your thing. And that would make Nope definitely not your type of movie.

But again, I apologize.

To a general audience, I wouldn't think so. Many people didn't see the connection of Gordy to the main plot and were confused by it.

Also this film is pretty layered I'd say, going from the idea of exploitation to Jean Jacket being a representation of the film industry. I don't think a lot of people would have gotten that on a first watch, or at least instantly. I certainly didn't.

Just noticed you seem to make a lot of posts about rugby and sports and such, much more than movies. Not to make assumptions, but maybe movies that make you think aren't really for you.

You sound like my mum.

Sure, the film wasn't for everyone, but this film was absolutely incredible. The entire metaphor and over all theme was just so well thought out.

Also, whilst I agree with it not being entirely a horror, there are some pretty wildly horrific scenes.

Maybe this was just a movie for those with a sense of media literacy? but even then, I'd find it pretty easy to have fun watching a sci-fi/western/horror without much knowledge on the theme.

Whiplash.

...Alpha and Omega.

Last Night in Soho or Raya and the Last Dragon. Both failed to stick the landing and could've been great if the writing was a whole lot better.

I get mine for a really cheap price from my local cinema, so maybe see if there are any cinemas in your area that sell posters. Though they tend to only have ones for movies that have just come out or are recent.

Resident Evil Vendetta is my personal favorite "so bad it's fun" movie, though I don't know how much of a Resident Evil fan you'd have to be able to enjoy it fully.

I don't agree with the Mo-Cap since it's not general enough to probably have a full category. I've always thought that posters should get more recognition since they're an important part of the advertising and some movies have absolutely stunning posters (and some have really bad ones.)

I think it would cause more well-designed posters to come out, rather than the generic superhero ones with just all the characters' heads, and also give more spotlight to the graphic designers and artists.
