just kidding, that's super boring and if you clicked here wanting a review of some pretentious movie then I sincerely feel bad for you

really what this thread is about, is vanilla pepsi. What even is this?? What is this flavor? Is it trying to be a cream soda? No - too carbony. Is it trying to be an actual soda? No - way too creamy / candyish. So WHAT is going on here? Is this just a classic failed drink, like a New Coke situation? Or is there something more here? Am I missing something?

I'm not saying it's bad, I just want to know what happened.

of all movies to call pretentious lmao

what are some movies that you would consider to be pretentious?

like, Escape from Tomorrow, The Addiction, Nymphomaniac, or anything Lars von Trier has made (although i can't fully say that, because he made Melancholia and i loved that shit)

it's not a word i like to describe movies with often, because i like to watch movies in good faith and give artists the benefit of the doubt if they're trying something different or unique

The Irishman is a very weird film to call pretentious simply because it has mass appeal, and in spite of its slow pace and 3-and-a-half hour running time, it's actually very watchable to the average everyday moviegoer, not unlike the other gangster flicks in Scorsese's canon

You know what a pretentious film was?

Les Miserables

which one? there's over fifty of them

also, not really, it's just a fun musical that's very accessible and entertaining
