Catch All PTA's Licorice Pizza Thread (Nov. 26, 2021)

[Jorge]

I don't think that's a bad description of it. It's a funny movie. I laughed a lot.

Not "the best movie of the last decade" but definitely one of the highlights of 2025 for me

I appreciate this.

[Ello Sailor]

You dorks didn't laugh at del Toro's character? Not once? Get the fuck outta here.

[Ello Sailor]

That was directed at the very dumb and very wrong team Daft, Argo, Burt.

Obviously Jorge and Len know what's up.

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Oh i've never seen it. I just really like Jorge.

[Mecca]

Just because a movie has funny moments doesn’t make it a comedy!

Like Die Hard

I know. We just really need you on our team is all.

One Battle After Another is satire. It's very funny.

[Ello Sailor]

Nah man I didn't laugh ONCE.

Well this isn't a hard science, genre is descriptive, and a movie can be multiple genres at once

To me it has a bunch of really funny moments especially after that more dour first act

[epilogue]

del Toro is lowkey the MVP of this movie

Nah man I didn't laugh ONCE.

I did laugh when Leo jumped off the building and fell 40 feet. Great physical comedy.

I also thought it was a bold move to have the black parent satirically abandon her child.

ftr, I have been extremely complimentary of del toro in this very thread

Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't like this movie (One Battle After Another). I liked this movie! I just don't know that it works all the way around.

I can only understand this movie as a comedy, right? And maybe my big problem is that I don't think Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn are funny. This movie is definitely trying to be funny, and trying to make me laugh. But these guys just aren't funny. So it kind of just ends up feeling manic and then like Sean Penn is doing a silly walk. But it's not actually funny to me?

Benicio del Toro is legitimately funny, for sure. Maybe because he doesn't ever try to do too much. Probably my favorite moment of this movie is when he gets arrested. Very simple, very funny.

And the road stuff on the chase scene is cool.

I'm sure it overall works emotionally though it didn't really hit me hard there.

I just don't think it won me.

Neither mine nor dadt's reviews of this picture were scathing. We're just not jumping on its dick. But it's fine if you are! I can see why you would, I'm just not into it

I am going to. I just have so many things to vehemently disagree about with you first.

[Ello Sailor]

Thank you for respecting my dick gymnastics.

[BurtReynolds]

I just didn't find the creatures very fuckable in this.
