Lenny is right. Caddyshack is a shit movie.

The last time I saw the general public sentiment turn against a movie so goddamn quickly was... I dunno... American Beauty maybe
I didn't care for American Beauty. But I felt that way after watching it the first time on opening night. I'm actually the opposite of what Platy is talking about. I really didn't like it and then it slowly grew on me. Now I think it's a'ight. Not great but solid with some great moments.Rangi Guy wrote:People didn't like American Beauty?theplatypus wrote:I think this is a pretty popular movie opinion at this point.B wrote:La La Land was a very dull movie.

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.
Yeah, I walk out of the theater rolling my eyes. I didn't think it was pretentious but I did think it was a mess. Why on earth did they turn that movie into a "who-done-it"? So fucking stupid. There was so much else there to mine and explore and I think they took the easy way out.tragabigzanda wrote:Same here, but even more extreme. I was in high school when AB came out; I found it to be pretentious and formulaic. Now I quite like it -- I think the script is a monster, and the performances are all great.durdencommatyler wrote:I didn't care for American Beauty.

No. No, the same guy did not make Crash.BurtReynolds wrote:Didn't the same guy make Crash? I think that retroactively hurt American Beauty.

I am totally apathetic toward La La Land. My wife and I watched half of it one night, and on the second night, she asked if I wanted to watch the rest, I couldn't say "yes," but I wasn't a definite "no." I just didn't give a fuck if I saw the conclusion of the movie or not.theplatypus wrote:I think this is a pretty popular movie opinion at this point.B wrote:La La Land was a very dull movie.
