Drive. I also hate Taxi Driver although I wouldn't say it's trash, just not for me. Is Phantom Thread mostly enjoyed by men or is it an equal split? Either way I thought that one was garbage as well.

I liked the Irishman. Did you finish it? It starts pretty slow / bad imo, but I thought that the ending was great. Can someone who didn't like it explain why?

>>17406Interstellar is great though, a main message is the power of love and family bonds too, not manly man stuff.
I just love it for TARS though.

Boobs, fast cars, drug lords, fighting, explosions, sex, more boobs?
That's all they're ever about.
Oh and also hate every Michael Bay movie ever made for the exact same reasons.

>>17406What a dumb reason to hate Interstellar. All movies take themselves seriously, and it's about much more than just time-travel. That is also the only part with out-there theorical, not pseudo, science. The movie actually had a nobel laureate science consultant working on it.

There are some films that I don't even think are bad but are just tainted in my mind by how overrated they are by men who treat it like the greatest thing ever while missing the point SO hard. Scott Pilgrim and 500 Days of Summer are two that come to mind. I feel like Scott Pilgrim was THE nerd movie in a time where nerdy movies were becoming really popular. I have nothing bad to say about the creators or the quality of the film but it's held up as gospel for "nice guys finish last" types and manic pixie dreamgirl pickme's. The moral of the movie is that putting women on pedestals will not make you happy or solve your problems and bettering yourself is more important than chasing relationships that you know aren't right for you. I feel that a major portion of the audience took it the completely wrong way. Same thing with 500 days of Summer, men are so busy relating to the main guy to realise he's supposed to be an example of what NOT to do. Fight Club and Breaking Bad fall into this too.

The Big Lebowski. So fucking boring. I do not give a shit about any of the characters.
Anonymous 17638
Not a movie but I tried watching The Sopranos recently. I was so bored, all that happens is a character goes somewhere and then they sit and talk until one of them leaves. Also women being used as set pieces was a big turn off. Movies with mob/gangster themes like The Godfather and Goodfellas are also boring.

>>17395>a fair number of quentin tarantino moviesTHANK YOU. I couldn’t agree more. Except replace “a fair number of” with “all of them” for me. There was one I thought was okay (Hateful Eight) but I have never felt entertained while watching any of his movies. I felt bored to death during both Kill Bill movies.
>>17638>Movies with mob/gangster themes like The Godfather and Goodfellas are also boring.Holy shit yes. I have found my people. I have never met another person who disliked The Godfather. It’s so horrifically boring and some scenes are so slow-paced. I didn’t feel attached to any of the characters and didn’t find any of them particularly likeable. The Italian girl who gets blown up also had 0 personality and no reason for me to mourn her.

>>17393filtered. Irishman is actually a genius deconstruction of the Mafia movies Scorsese created with Goodfellas and Casino. Though I understand if you haven't seen those it might lack context. Go watch those, especially Casino, they are actually great and entertaining movies. Irishman basically killed mob movies as a genre.

I liked bladerunner 2049 but I absolutely have no idea why SO many men get emotionally worked up about the hologram wife and pretend like it's so deep and tragic.
Anonymous 17740
>>17739>I absolutely have no idea why SO many men get emotionally worked up about the hologram wife and pretend like it's so deep and tragic.Because it was all fake. K only realizes this after a massive advertisement of his dead hologram gf tries to sell herself to him and calls him "Joe", which he thought was his gf's special petname for him. This is hammered in by the advertisement literally saying "Everything You Want to Hear". K realizes the one person he cares about was not even real and he had basically fallen in love with a prostitute.
Watch pic-related.
I don't know why so many people seem to miss this part about the movie.

>>17740I thought he already knew his wife was fake? He had to have purchased her in the first place? I thought that scene in the movie was supposed to be him seeing her face and mourning his version of her after her death.

Don't call me a pleb, of course I love Lawrence of Arabia, it's just that I've seen men saying that "it proves you can make a 4 hours movie without women" and stuff like that. This gets even dumber considering that it was masterfully edited by a woman, Anne V. Coates.

>>17486Scott Pilgrim was straight up garbage and all it does is painfully remind me of how easily people can be impressed by an indie soundtrack and some cool special effects. Scott and Ramona have zero on screen chemistry with each other, but we're expected to give a fuck about the protagonist going through all of these corny fight sequences for his boring relationship with a girl he met two days ago. I have no idea what anyone sees in that movie.

>>18403The first time I tried to watch it I was bored. It’s one of those films where you have to be in on the joke and if you just sit down and watch it by yourself randomly you might not get it. If you take the business card scene at face it’s boring, for example.
After I read the book, I watched it again. I liked it more the second time but the book is better. The movie is too much of a meme.
Anonymous 18455
>>18454That you aren’t supposed to take it seriously and that they are all about looks and no substance. The business card scene shows how important they think they are and how they focus on small details that give a impression of importance when in reality they are all just there because of connections and barely do any work.
Maybe that is obvious to other people but I often don’t pick up on that sort of thing without before told. I don’t think I watched the whole thing the first time so that probably didn’t help either.

>>18383>>18403I watched Lawrence with my brother. I remember him bursting into tears during this scene for a reason I still don't get. When we finished it he thanked me for going along with him during the "4 greatest hours of his life". Latter I saw lots of people having the same reaction on a IRC serve I used to browse. I don't know why moids obsess so much over this movie, it's good but not that good.

I thought the Godfather was boring too and I'm actually a fan of gangster/mob movies kek. It has such a powerful opening scene - probably one of the most powerful opening scenes I've ever seen in a film - and then just drops off completely. It could be because the internet has made my attention span a joke though. Maybe one day I'll be able to actually finish the entire movie and see what other people saw in it.
Goodfellas is amazing though I don't know how anybody can think that film is boring. For once Bill Burr had it right when he said on his podcast that every scene of Goodfellas is like the closer of a fantastic joke.
>>18455I mean he was literally sweating over a business card, how can it not be obvious that they take themselves too seriously?
Anonymous 18465
>>18455The business card scene isn't a joke, it's an absurd situation with psychopathic 80s business guys. Yes you need context, but you need context to appreciate anything on more than a surface level.
>>18464>I mean he was literally sweating over a business card, how can it not be obvious that they take themselves too seriously?This is the most middle class take I've seen of this scene. Is this what most people think that scene was about?
The entire point of the movie is that one guy is a psychopathic maniac but the entirety of 80s hyper-capitalism makes him indistinguishable from anyone in the upper class. The "joke" (if you even want to call it that) is that no matter how monstrous the character is, the society around him is the same level of monstrous.

>>17393I wouldn't say it's trash.
Irishman is okay although a bit forgettable. Except for one scene.
That scene where De Niro's character beat the shit of a grocer. For most of the movie, the CGI used to make De Niro appear younger is pretty convincing, but in that scene, the way he moves really betray his age. It gives an impression of really shitty acting and i find that extremely funny.

I kind of feel like men take movies too seriously in general. I can enjoy watching a movie with a friend as a social thing but alone I get bored pretty quick. Two hours is a long time and its just feeding you information on rails, it doesn't engage your imagination the way reading does.

The James Bond franchise, i really don't get it. I think the phrase "male power fantasy" is a little overused but in this case it definitely applies. It's sexist as hell, and overall just boring.
