Does everything everywhere get better, or ?

[The Grand Inquisitor]

I was shocked when it won as many awards as it did because it was the opposite of the good yet immediately forgettable “Oscar bait” movies we get every year that are Academy darlings.

Everything everywhere was something that felt very fresh and incredibly different in a sea of “big budget blockbusters” or mid-budget good, yet forgettable and formulaic “obviously for your consideration” movies.

Everything everywhere wasn’t perfect, but it was spectacular in the literal sense

The film itself was definitely a huge achievement, imo. You gotta respect it. The story was super novel and the execution was quite good. It just got a little too far up its own asshole towards the end.

It is literally a bad episode of Rick and Morty

Since when is multiverse BS novel? What’s the achievement?

there are 20 year old romcoms with a similar premise

 

[Joe_Cool]

About halfway through it and… let’s just say expected it to be much better…

blah blah blah I have horrible taste and I’m stupid and I suck donkey cock

now that we have that out of the way, tell me the truth

No, it's kind of dumb and wildly overrated.

I took shrooms and sat front row in the theater so I had a great time.

I feel like the Best Picture winner doesn't need to be defended. It's a great film, get over it.

Quick chart I threw together of all the nominees. Only uses RT and Metacritic, but still.

RT+ and Meta+ I made up, similar to OPS in baseball. RT+ = RT Critic + RT Viewer, Meta+ = Meta Critic + (Meta User * 10).

Not hard to see why EEAAO won

Biggest robbery in my lifetime, although Cate Blanchett not getting Best Actress this year is close.

[rcm]

Although I don't know why you didn't divide your RT+ and Meta+ by 2 to turn it back into a regular fucken score

Let me guess, y’all are middle class white men who struggle with empathy?

You guys missed the entire point of the film. It’s about generational trauma, love, family, being an Asian American in the USA, nihilism, and more. The multiverse shit is just a way to explore all of that.

Damn. What did you guys get from the movie?

I feel like you can kind of tell who leans on the boomerish side of things with takes on this movie lol

@SBrooks1 loves Marvel movies but EEAAO is a step too far for him

I had to watch The Quiet Man to calm my anger

It’s easy to say that about me but there’s others ITTA that feel the same way

Boomers lol

 

[garbagemanlb]

Boomers and millenials/gen xers with boomer brains just can't keep up with modern cinema and sophisticated filmmaking. It's ok to admit that tbh.

He needs a fuckin slap

Like when I saw him irl and suplexed him right through Dwight Schultz’s autograph table
