Parasite had such high praise and publicity that my wife and I put off watching it until we were in such a mood to dedicate 100% of our attention to it, and watch it all the way through without pausing it. So, a few years after it came out, we sat down and watched it. What a colossal disappointment. Sheesh. Yes, I have read all of the theories and symbolism for the movie. I read dozens of discussions about it after watching it. My opinion is that people brought their own convoluted nonsense to an otherwise stupid movie. It was a complete waste of our time. 0/10.

Looks like the author forgot the header for number 3: Snowpiercer.

Anybody here subscribe to the theory that Snowpiercer is a sequel to Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Once heard I can't unsee it.

I'm here for it. The fact that there are areas practically made for oompa loompas sells it for me.

Site is a nightmare.

How can you make a list of the best eat the rich movies without the movie Eat The Rich? How can lemmy stand for this when the movie stars Lemmy of Motorhead?

When does it get good? I tried a couple days ago, and the pacing is all wrong for me. I eventually got bored around 40 minutes into it and shut it off.

[–] enbee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 month ago

don’t worry about it. if the pacing isn’t for you don’t force yourself to watch it.

Did you watch the show Ripley? Highly recommended if you haven’t yet.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I didn't know there was a SHOW...

[–] Lifecoach5000@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

The film was alright but the show takes it to whole other level with many aspects IMO. Stunning cinematography, great writing and acting.
