It had terrible promotional materials because it is a very weird movie and they didn't know what to do with it. Look at this garbage, unrepresentative poster:

you pick the worst movies sometimes. What exactly is your method?

I have asked him like six times and he refuses to answer

and i assume you bought it, anders. insanity

Why do you dislike it so much?

see my reply to mickey re fredric jameson. I simultaneously have never seen this movie and have seen this movie countless times.

I see where you are coming from with this, but I don’t agree with that approach, not seeing the movie, and having a stromg opinion on it.

Not saying you have to see it, or at all that you have to like it.

Going to watch the final hour tomorrow just to see how it ends but so far this feels like a comic book movie for people with MFA degrees.

This was terrible. One of the most tedious, juvenile movies I've seen in years.

when I first read fred introduce the presupposition, "texts come before us as the always-already-read", it felt like a godly dispensation from seeing movies exactly like this.

I think overall Fred is correct and there's a way in which the previous reception of this movie (and how it fits into the matrix of what kinds of movies can be made) telegraphed its overall form, but there's also something to be said for witnessing first hand the way a certain (maybe middle class?) psychic reality is served up to its primary audience here, and how it negotiates material limitations to that reality. It was a terrible viewing experience but it is interesting.

Yeah for sure. Have you seen the American TV program Yellowstone?
