I wanted to watch Furiosa and Megalopolis in theaters, but I lost track of time with life stuff. I finally got to watch Furiosa last week cause it's on Netflix, and I'm bummed I didn't see it on a big screen with big sound. It's such a fun batshit movie, and you can tell Chris Hemsworth is having a blast playing Dementus.

Literally the same with Furiosa except I saw it three weeks ago.

Conversely, the movie making the highest profit was Inside Out 2 with $650 million.

I still need to see Megalopolis. I've heard a pretty even split on it being confusing trash as well as being the best film ever made.

It comes across as so damn pretentious, and I don't mind artsy fartsy movies. Bad writing, mediocre acting (although I think a lot had to do with direction) and add in some awful cgi, and it was one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time.

Most of what people thought was CGI was a combination of practical effects + projection.

This is not CGI:

Corridor crew did a segment on it. There is a combination of projection and cgi and practical.

Oh okay, sorry, it was practical effects that looked so god aweful that you might think it's the worst cgi in history

I think it's a funny movie because how absolutely bad it is. Everyone who thinks it's unironically the best movie ever made is out of their mind.

I'm losing it... "2024? Shouldn't they wait until the year is ov... oh... oh..."

That said, Megalopolis was robbed. It likely won't really be understood for a decade.

Joker the movie was a joke

Joker: Folie à Deux was horrendous. I didnt have huge expectations going in but I didn't expect the shit show I suffered through. They hired Lady Gaga and decided to get their monies worth by making the movie a semi-musical. The movie could have been half hour to fortyfive minutes and been far better than the vomit they sent to screen.
