Freddy Got Fingered. Absolute masterpiece.
I got around to watching it a few years ago, and holy shit is it ever better than everyone says it is. It’s SO FAR ahead of its time—it feels like an early-to-mid 2010’s Adult Swim movie. Ebert can fuck right off, it’s a comedic MASTAPIECE.
I never saw it back in the days where it was sooooo critically panned. It seems to have aged swimmingly.
Wow. I caught it on a channel recently and watched the first 20 minutes and had to turn it off. That style of humor is so outdated imo. Tom Green’s comedy is just being awkward and repeating the same thing(s) over and over.
I’m glad you still enjoyed it though. I know it’s highly regarded as a cult classic. I just couldn’t stand it myself. I’m in my 40s btw, so I grew up during the Tom Green era of popularity.
The Matrix
The thing is that “excellent” is something they are not… Look I enjoyed the movies too, they can be quite fun. Some aspects are great, the action and stunt work is in my opinion flawless for the time. Some other things were great too and some others not so much. But in general, really they are not good movies if we try to be a bit neutral, and at the very least they can’t follow the complexity of the theme from the first movie while making it look so simple like that one did. It may just be the case of standing too close to the sun, the movies as part of the trilogy just can’t compare. So people have a feeling of rejection to them. And probably the one thing people find it tough to come to grips with is the fact that the first movie had great action, that helped the movie go forward, while the others just seem to have random action scenes that are just not part of the story. It’s just about how they are added into the story.
But don’t let that bother you, enjoy the movies, I still do, they are just not the masterpieces the first one was.
And no, its not about wanting the first one again, in essence, I wish the movies would have managed to expand the story in a refreshing way like the Animatrix did. But they just fall flat instead, simple mindless fun that kinda finish the storyline quite OK for me.
Now the fourth part… That was brilliant, a brilliant crap, but brilliant nonetheless. If my guess is not wrong, it was a great middle finger to the movie execs that wanted to squeeze more money out of the movies.
…uhhhhhhh, I would ask your mom if she smoked while pregnant with you. There’s clearly something wrong with the development of how your brain came out.
Beetlejuice. It was such a popular movie that spawned a musical, a cartoon, various video games, etc yet there’s only been the one movie. There’s been talks about a sequel over the years but nothing has materialized yet.
Either this is a joke that whooshed over me, or you’re going to have a fine time next month - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2049403/
Return of the Jedi. Episode 7 is not a sequel but a remake. Episodes 8 and 9 are bullshit.
Matrix
The biggest problem with those two movies is that the pacing was awful. You had exhausting fight and chase scenes followed by scenes that had way too much mumbo jumbo dialogue. Every scene could have been made shorter without losing any plot points.
Yeah, would have been nice to find out what happened after Neo flew away. At least Rage was playing.
