Oppenheimer (2023)
The Worst!
I always hated Nolan's movies, but the hype got me. I guess I'm no better than all the idiots populating Hollywood, but, in my defense, this is the last time I'll be fooled by the outright lie about Christopher Nolan being anything but a spoiled simpleton.
I foolishly hoped he had finally figured out how to make a movie that doesn't contain scenes that are so long boring that I can't make it to the next one. I also thought that he might approach this one as an adult rather than a stoned teenager fascinated by basic physics. I was completely wrong on both counts.
This can hardly be called a movie. It's a really long trailer, and the music you hear in the trailer isn't just in the trailer, it's in the entire movie. It's bad dramatic music, at least for the first 1.5 hours of listening to it. After that it becomes intolerable noise, and it never stops, not even to let you hear what characters are saying. I don't think I understood two words of the movie. It needs subtitles so you can actually understand the dialogue, just like silent movies. This 'movie' is so bad that even the worst 'talkies' are more enjoyable. Caddy Shack 2 is better than this pile of steaming feces.
Again, he went off the deep end with his childish appreciation of science. Nolan thinks scientists are magicians, science is magic. This movie comes from a perspective no more intelligent than a 14-year-old who thinks he's a lot smarter than he is.
And it's so long. The story itself is about ten minutes long. After that, all you get is dramatic music, worried faces and dialogue you can't hear because of the music.
Matt Damon seems like a pretty honest guy. I saw an interview where the interviewer thought the movie was way too long, and he tried to get Damon to agree. He wouldn't agree, but you can see how annoyed he is by having to watch this stinker over and over again. He looked like the unhappiest man on earth in that interview, and he got millions of dollars to be in this hunk of junk. Imagine how you'll feel when you pay $15 for it. Nolan is the only guy who actually likes this movie. Everybody else thinks they're supposed to like it, so they pretend to. It's the movie version of Naked Lunch. It's just nonsense.
Your Honor (2020)
Great In Every Aspect
As much as I loved the acting in this show, I was worried throughout the series about the story. I feared the ending would ruin the entire thing for me like so many movies and shows do, but this one ended as it should have. Now that it's over I can see that the story is as good as the acting, and the acting is absolutely top-notch.
Unbelievable!!!!! (2020)
Made Me Vomit
I thought this was another movie, and within 45 seconds of accidentally watching it I threw up. No joke, it's the creepiest, worst thing ever made. It's absolutely sickening, and there's nothing gross or graphic about it, it's just that bad.
Velvet Buzzsaw (2019)
Really Bad
Seemed like the same group as Nightcrawler and I loved that movie. Something went terribly wrong, however, because this film simply stinks. It never once lived up to the potential of the story, which makes more sense in the trailer than the film. It was a great concept never realized. The actors are good, but that doesn't really get you anywhere. Secondary, superfluous stories dominate screen time, and they are too thinly connected to the main story to be anything but annoying. I suspect there is some grand moral to the story here, and it may be that symbolism was selected over entertainment and cohesiveness. Whatever was attempted, it flops.
