None of this recent crop has been able to touch The Social Network, but Blackberry felt unique in that it served as both a product rise and fall origin story while also feeling like a satire of the genre. It was good.

 

Even Barbie, as good as most of it was, stops to have that scene near the end where the founder tells everyone how important their product is.

 

Satire feels like a bit of a stretch to me, but I did think it was good. Maybe I'm jaded because Johnson went after Evil Dead Rise for being a franchise film while simultaneously jumping on one of these "how it was made" films.

 

It is though. It's more creepy than gross.

 

my friend time once told me dry or wet, never moist

 

I think I like the word moist more than the word damp

 

“Potty” is the all time grossest word to me, especially when espoused by an adult

 

It is worse when Brits say toilet, as in I am going to the toilet.

 

I dunno about gross, but it definitely sounds dumb. Do adults really say that when not speaking to children?

 

The performances all felt a little heightened like they would in a satire. Howerton's is the obvious one, but I think Elwes's and Johnson also seemed to be hamming it up a bit. Plus the wigs and makeup looked intentionally cheap.

 

If you think moist is a gross or disgusting word you are a weak human being.

 

I agree on Johnson and the wigs, I'm just not convinced it was intentional lol. Splitting hairs (no pun intended) though because I did enjoy the movie

 

People just like to parrot things they see on the internet

don't make me post about boneless wings again

 

Without bones, how will we pay the bone tax?

 

My grandma does.

 

Alright, I feel like we can make an exception for grandmas. Grandpas cross a line.

ha! this is already on my to-watch list.

 

I do think the product origin movies are getting oversaturated. I also think Air was a blast. Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself.

 

ah yes, one of the random movies TikTok tried to get me to watch by showing my clips nonstop

 

This bought Matt Damon a 4th house probably
