I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

Dennis Villeneuve is currently untouchable in the same way that Christoper Nolan was a few years ago. For whatever reason I meshed with Nolan's work at the time but I have been completely disenchanted by Villeneuve since Blade Runner.

Marvel movies sucks. I can enjoy a superhero movie from time to time but this is getting out of control. 98% CGI movies with the SAME F*CKING STORY for the past 20 years. Good vs bad, chosen one, origins, Bla.Bla.Bla.

Most movies are incredibly dumb and boring.

Most of my film opinions

Donnie darko and the fifth element are terribly overrated. Films made to make teenagers think they're deeper than they are.

The Hobbit films (and the rings of power) aren't the worst thing to happen to the Lord of the rings.

The Happening was a good film.

People just see it as the dumb movie where plants make people commit suicide and has bad acting.

I see it more like the original dawn of the dead. It's a mirror to society. I personally don't believe the plants were doing anything. What happened is that the media machine latched onto anything they could put on TV, and before you knew it every other network news copied the unverified information. This happens so often in real life because every news station wants to be the first to report instead of being the truth.

Also, it's pretty terrifying that people start becoming suicidal zombies and you have no idea why or how to stop it.

Parasite was a generally bad movie. The whole time you're watching it and you're like, is a comedy, a drama, a thriller? And then at the end it loses its god damned mind. And you walk out of the theater confused and feeling like shit.
