Man, I feel totally ignored here—nobody’s even mentioning Bebot! It's wild. Grace Anderson3, how's the little guy doing? Has he started talking yet?☕

Jacob Alvarez said:Anyone catch The French Dispatch?

I wasn't really feeling it. It was missing that spark. The production design is top-tier, but I get the vibe he traded the plot and characters for the visuals.

There’s an entire thread about this movie already. I didn't think much of it either. ☕

Betty Nelson71 said:Right? I'm not a fan of Kenneth. He was fine in Potter, but nowhere else. His Poirot really gets on my nerves because he overacts. It’s like he’s turning the character into a caricature.
So, did that creep actually get cut from the movie or what?

The creep wasn't cut from the film. Arnold was there just to brighten things up with his presence. Who would've thought such a good-looking guy turned out to be such a sick individual? Assuming everything written about him is true, obviously.🤦

Honestly, this was actually pretty solid compared to all the trash I've been watching lately. It delivered exactly what I was looking for. Pure B-movie vibes.🍿

Pig!☕

Grace Sanchez50 said:Actually, his debut isn't The Kennedys, which is his best movie.

I thought this one was beautiful. The first segment was the strongest, then the third, while the second felt kind of weak.

That wasn't his debut. 🍿

The Mandalorian and Nicolas together!🤣🤣🙏🙏

Melissa Sullivan said:Weird movie... it was mostly fine until the ghosts showed up, then I just lost interest. 🙄

I don't get why they barely touched on her obvious mental illness when it was basically established from the very first scene. 🤔
What, did she just magically get better?

And what happened to the cop? Alive? Dead? Doesn't really matter since he's a guy, I guess. ☕

Anya Taylor-Joy is gorgeous, though. I'd love to see her in movies with more modern themes. That's about it for my thoughts. 🥱

You could interpret that mental illness however you want. Plus, something shows up in the mirror again right at the end. 😉
The cop is dead. He gets run over. 🍿

First movie in forever that I actually couldn't finish because it was just too much to handle mentally. 🙄

The New York Times

Revisions to a Manifesto

The Oval Office

Did you forget about the bike messenger? If you ask me, I'd say it was 4. But honestly, there's a chance I missed another one during that half-hour nap I took.🍿

goldenhound32 said:SPOILER

There's this one scene where the old cop says "Alex killed Sandie."

To me, it sounds like the old guy actually knew who was pulling the trigger. But I don't get why he didn't do anything about it, especially since he was on the force. Makes zero sense.

The way that scene plays out, it definitely implies the old cop might have known, especially since he hints that she isn't exactly an innocent victim either. 😉

To movie always just sticks in my head as being about boobs.🍿

northerncrane4 said:I mean, you were watching a movie on the bus?

There's this tiny little hallway right by those massive doors, and everyone has to shuffle past me to get out. I'm ninety percent sure absolutely nobody actually made it out. That other ten percent is just the super quiet, polite types who managed to sneak by without waking me up.☕

northerncrane4 said:Maybe some people left while you were nodding off. 🤷

Look, there's a chance. Even though I was sitting near the exit, I figure someone would've woken me up if they walked by. I was wide awake during the whole intro about the painter, but I definitely started drifting off later. For me, Mount Rushmore is still the top tier. Every movie after that just feels a little bit worse to me. ☕

northerncrane4 said:It’s nothing, really. Just go get some sleep. 🙂🙂

Got it. I didn't quite catch what you meant there. Nobody even stayed until the credits rolled yesterday, and that was at least thirty people. 🍿

northerncrane4 said:There were maybe ten of us in the theater, and two people walked out.
Look, guys, if 98% of the lineup is tailored specifically for you, let the other two percent be something different. It can't be that big of a deal, right?

🤔 What are you even talking about? 🤔

northerncrane4 said:“The New York Times”, Wes Anderson.

It’s a beautiful tribute—maybe even an obituary?—to the art of journalism. You can't even tell if the writing, the cinematography, or the acting is better because everything is just flawlessly executed at the highest level. Wes Anderson hits you with this massive avalanche of information, banking on the fact that there’s still an audience out there willing to keep up. All while delivering this surreal visual feast that isn't quite as over-the-top as The Grand Budapest Hotel. Definitely worth a few more watches.

I'm pretty much dead after about thirty minutes. Wes Anderson just makes the exact same movie every single time. It’s getting a bit much for me. 🥱

It starts off strong, then everything just falls apart. Classic kidnapping plot. Nothing special about it. A solid 6/10.☕

Richard Wilson4 said:Sounds cool, but is it just style over substance or an actual complete movie?

Total style over substance if you ask me. The music and the outfits are great. The plot starts out pretty interesting, but it gets thin fast and ends up feeling like some B-movie crime flick. It's a bummer because I think they could've squeezed more out of it. That said, most of his movies are really about the vibe anyway. He nails the atmosphere. I still enjoy watching his stuff.🍿

Hey, what kind of stuff do you actually need when a baby is born? A friend of mine just had one yesterday. What should I get them as a gift? Cash? How does that usually work? Bebooo!🍿
