Unpopular Movie Opinions

[Strat]

I don't know if Christmas Vacation is objectively good or funny, but it's my favorite Christmas movie. Mostly because my family watches it every year. There are some great lines that still make me laugh.

It's deeply bizarre to me that the big injustice the audience is supposed be with Clark on is that his boss doesn't give him a big enough bonus to buy a pool. The 1980s were a very different time.

This stands out for sure.

I dont agree that is whats going on. He gets a membership tot he jelly of the month club. Yes, he put money down on a pool, but i think what sets it off is the fact that its not even a financial bonus. Its a jelly of the month club

Okay, I amend my statement to say “no bonus” instead of “not big enough bonus.”

The point stands.

[Strat]

*just any bonus

Do you get bonuses, LV?

[LoathedVermin72]

Bonuses?

[Strat]

Bonuses?

No wonder you are miserable! Its the most wonderful time of year!

I don’t feel Christmasy at all this year, Strat. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

I think I got a bonus once.

Yea that'd do it. Maybe you need a trip to the mountains. There is so much snow up here.

Does renting a log cabin at some hot springs interest you?

hot take: Daniel Day Lewis drastically overacts in TWBB.

I said this back when it came out and got a lot of shit for it. I didn't buy him and Dano together. Compare it with the scene at the end of The Master when Phil Seymour is singing to Joaquin, there's just so much genuine chemistry there. But I think it's a far superior movie to TWBB in almost every way, so.

Yeah I agree. Dano and Lewis aren't great together. I much prefer The Master.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Stfu losers, DDL turns in a god-level performance

...while overacting.

All these Marvel / superhero movies are pure trash.
