Why all the hate??

It's supposed to be a comedy, people need to stop taking everything so seriously!
I loved it! Lol

This is the imdb message boards. People hate EVERYTHING

Like Facebook, but with more opinions. Lol.

Whatever you do, don't have your own opinions online.
I think the US presidential campaign outlined that.
Family members blocking each other over it!
The same happened here in the UK with this "Brexit" facade.

Wouldn't it be cool if somebody invented a way for people from all walks of life to be able to talk across the world. I wonder what they'd talk about!
Turns out we know, they'd get into petty arguments with complete strangers over which superhero is the best!
And the inventors of the internet can sleep well, knowing they're brought mankind one step closer to peace. Lol!

I love Sandberg, love Brooklyn 99, Hot Rod.
And although I think this is a spoof of Bieber (don't know if it is, but I'm guessing it is), it's still hilarious even if you don't know what they're parodying.

I'm guessing the CMZ shots with Will Arnet are taken from an actual movie, if not, that's so random! Him and his drinks. Lol.

I'm kinda tempted to watch the Bieber movie, just so I get the nuances of this movie even more.
I've personally watched this movie about 5 times. It's brilliant.

"Hey, Mona Lisa, you're an overrated piece of *beep* Lol.
Or "she wanted to *beep* me even harder than the US military *beep* Bin Laden, *beep* Bin Laden"

That tune is hard to get out of your head.

I've gone as far as downloading the soundtrack hahaha.
And I watched it for about the 10th time a few days ago lol.
I believe the CMZ scenes are rip off's of TMZ, I think it's a paparazzi Tv show about celebrities. But don't quote me on that lol.

Yeah, the "CMZ" bits are definitely jabs at the actual TMZ show, where they follow celebrities around and ask them random-ass questions. The "CMZ" set in the movie, and the little "sippy-cup" things they're drinking out of-- even the way the people look-- is a replica of TMZ.

The parts I recognized to be spoof of Bieber: the pissing incident combined with the Anne Frank Museum debacle, claiming she would have been a belieber today, calling the Sistine Chapel Sixteen Chapel (possibly spoofing by calling Mona Lisa a garbage pail kid), the part about never actually growing up, being mean to his fans, and the fake documentary was a facsimile of Never Say Never.

They have also parodied oversharing Snapchat, Vine and YouTube stars, the fake friends, crazed fans, the beef of Lance Bass with the rest of his former group (naming him Lawrence wasn't meant to be subtle), the Aquaspin fiasco was U2/Apple and their non-removable album, shameless self promotion *cough*Beats*cough* and the sweet sweet repetitive use of catchy words in a song without context.

To me it was like watching an extended rant of A Dose of Buckley, as many themes came up in his talking points, especially the part where the artist boast themselves for every credit, when in reality they hire a butt load of producers and song writers to finish it up with auto tune, leaving nothing original from the artist performing it.

I live in the Gordius Apartment Complex, my interior designer was M.C. Escher.
