BRO lmao I thought the same shit AND to make things worse, when they're at the dinner table I thought Eli was still keeping up the kayfabe. I thought there was some kind of insider thing where Paul ("Eli") was trying to cut his father out of the deal by keeping things hush. Complete misunderstanding on my part
I thought he was already clipped by a gunshot so he couldn't have fought off that much - but I agree in that he also shouldn't have been 100% compliant either. But Ed did have the gun.
She is decidedly more famous, what are you talking about
Why don't you enlighten us then? What motivates him? It's easy to just say "oh you missed it" but if you have some insight, by all means, please share it with us lol
Julia Roberts was supposed to be cold and detached. That was like, the core of her character. Why do you think someone playing a warmer character would be better when the character is not *supposed* to be warm lol
I agree. Corinne played the role of the "cop's wife" really horribly. She's supposed to hold it down for her cop husband, not constantly undermine his authority.
*spoilers*
I'm on season 2 and this dumbass Corinne literally takes the kids and flies all around the country, then when Vic presses her, she plays like a buffoon like "What? I had no choice, I just felt so unsafe!"
YOU MOTHERFUCKER. Your husband is a cop! You don't try to get him back like this! Lol.
She is the most poorly written character on the show, and it's almost self parody. Her voice is like nails on a chalkboard and she only exists to whine and nag.
I prefer directors to make a statement. "The movie is what you make it!!" is often a cop-out. Would have loved the director to actually make a stance....
You summed up my exact thoughts about this. Given the subject matter, it could have taken any number of darker turns.
It all makes sense now. A Cabin in the Woods was atrocious too.
Thanks for really pouring it on this movie lol it's not good by any stretch of the imagination and it was weird to see people saying how amazing it was. You're spot on about the heavy-handedness. And how about how Julia Roberts goes on a fuggin joyride into the drug underworld like she's attending a tour at Universal Studios? She would NOT have been able to navigate through there unscathed.
Um. Ben Is Back WAS the cliche drug addiction film? It has as much conviction as a made for TV movie. Beautiful Boy was way more gritty/realistic.
Be real, this can't be, in no way, the "worst" movie you've ever seen. And you say it's boring or nonsensical (must be talking about the plot) but a movie is way more than just "plot". Like it's a movie, not a novel.
I agree with you, but Meagan Good was definitely the biggest "star" actress in this movie.
I'm sick of the meta crap and the "Act 1" "Act 2" stuff too. It was annoying in The French Dispatch and it's annoying here too
>The movie makes it looks like Michael Jordan save Nike,
NIKE wasn't in trouble. Their basketball division was.
But she was already shown to be overly cautious in the beginning (not wanting to stay in the airbnb, not drinking the tea, etc) and she clearly has sound mind to call the police. Her character seems at odds with being cautious and following sensical protocols and the nonsensical stuff such as going deeper into the basement and just being attached to the house in general. The last 30 minutes felt really rushed.
Everyone's already said it, but I would really like the OP to come back and address the point that they were 14/15 and not severely miscasted as adults like Dawson's Creek or something
It's not pure horror, it's a horror western, maybe has a bit more western than horror but it has body disfigurements and a body count so it's got horror elements lol
I agree and it came off more like an adult trying to put a kid in his place despite not having any leg to stand on lol
That scene always confused me because the boys were already motivated to go to the library to fulfill their contract obligations, I mean, the scene would have made more sense if they tried to protest going to the library and Coach C needed a way to lure them in.
