most pretentious movie ever?


I think this might beat the pretentious bird man movie.

reply

Umm...I think you missed the point. This movie is making fun of pretentiousness.

I know, but it was so pretentious. lol

reply

What did you find pretentious (that wasn't already intentionally pretentious in order to roast said pretentiousness?)

reply

all the scenes after the dinner started. not saying it was a bad movie. just a lot of eye rolls.

like kowalski said, it was dark and twisted.

reply

But like pepetoony said.... that was the entire point. It was meant to be like that in order to lampoon those very things.
It's not a fair thing to say the film is pretentious....It's not the movie itself that is pretentious.

It would be like calling "Last Action Hero" over-the-top action. That is the entire point.

That's why I don't think your comparison to Birdman is a 1:1 comparison....

SAY WHAT YOU WILL...LIKE IT OR NOT...IT KEEP'S YOU ENTERTAINED...DARK AND TWISTED...AND FILLED WITH SURPRISES.


I DOUBT I EVER REWATCH IT...BUT IT WAS EXCELLENT ENTERTAINMENT.
