Painfully dull, pretentious, self-indulgent garbage


This movie is as entertaining as staring at a wall.

Just like Malick's filmography, this movie is the cure for insomnia.

It's one of the worst movies of all time. Awful.

All you delusional, insecure, retarded snobs can eat sh!t. Deal with it, morons.

hahah this movie is the furthest from insecure I've ever seen except for perhaps 2001.

Tried to look at your post history to get an idea of movies you like and I've observed that you LITERALLY just copy and paste the line "Painfully dull, pretentious, self-indulgent garbage" In just about every single thread you posted.(Regarding some great movies)

You probably like more tangible movies. Continue watching movies like Fred Clause and Wedding Crashers. They might suit your taste better.

Monster Trucks is in theaters too. Go watch it, might be up your alley. McDonald's may start making toy trucks from the movie in the Happy Meal for you soon.

congrats on you "IMDb Member for 2 weeks" badge btw

You are absolutely right. 100%. All movies are subjective. Some people really enjoy existential films, some enjoy more tangible films. Some people prefer zany comedies, some people prefer adventure, some people prefer drama.

You said this yourself regarding Fred Clause: "There's nothing wrong with enjoying those movies". So same for my case. In saying that, I like a good "happy meal" movie every now and then, and I like to laugh, and there is satisfaction in the tangible "you get what you see" movies.

But why do you contradict yourself? If all films are subjective, then "there is nothing wrong with enjoying these movies" should be our case as well. So why are you getting on these boards, angry at someone, something, or some idea, and start insulting the people that really enjoy these films that you hate, and calling them names? a bit hypocritical and unnecessary.

I'm far from insecure. I really don't think I'm a snob in person, and above all I do not believe I am intellectually superior to anyone whatsoever. The reason I love movies like the Tree of Life is because well after the movie is over, it keeps me thinking about the intangible things in our universe, things that are greater than ourselves. hope, love, reason, faith, compassion, nostalgia, recollection. All that stuff is important in transforming us into the adults that we become.

so there's that. cheers!
