Rules: explain why

Ready player one.

That has to be one of the cringiest movies I've seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it's "WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU'RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE" message and the whole "corporation bad, the people good" narrative seems written for toddlers... The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.

Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is "ugly"... Like wtf?

Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.

I can't stand Love Actually. It's too schmaltzy and none of the characters are likeable. Especially the young boy.

The Batman. Robert Pattinson is not that great of an actor and I still can’t unsee him as that stupid vampire. I know he doesn’t care of the role either, but it really ruins the flow trying to imagine him as Bruce Wayne but all I can see is that cringey vampire. And then it’s just another fucking Batman movie as if we haven’t already had 10 other ones played by 12 different actors already, not including the TV show adaptations and cartoons too. DC needs to seriously stick with one adaptation and go with that or make some about some of the lesser known comic characters.

I know it’s the one that is more closely aligned to the comics and he is actually being a detective. But it was so boring and uninteresting.

I remember sitting in the theater and I kept checking my watch for when it would be over. I was with other people and also was curious how it would end. But it kept dragging on much longer than it should have.

I’ve tried rewatching it since but I still can’t get into it.

The nightmare before christmas. IDK maybe i've been exposed to it too much but I have never gotten an ounce of enjoyment watching the movie. The songs are lame and the plot is mind numbingly simple, you know so the kids can follow. So many people in my life just love it and want to make watching it every year for both halloween and christmas a tradition thing. I don't want to be a kill joy so I power through it every year. Im so tired of it though, How many more times do I have to hear that barrage of stupid disney sing songs just to spend time with my loved ones? "WhAt's ThiS TheRes WhitE Stuff EverYWHEre!" Fuck you jack skellington you sheltered prick. Its called cocaine and its how santa and his elves get shit done. Now travel around a few other holiday trees and do some world building so Disney can pump out a half baked sequel else they might go for a live action remake starring photorealistic cgi stitched together corpses.

Oh it's worse. I read the book and it was very sad. And the movie was clearly changed from the book for sake of IP laws, reminding us of how sorry our own dystopia is.

It really needed an Oh Brother Where Art Thou ending where Wade and the gang fail to win but get well-off enough from their exploits and are seen by the public as leaders of the revolution against IOI's monopoly, and the capitalist system as a whole.

One of IOI's sixes gets the final key but when he signs the contract, it locks him out. The OASIS controlling stock remains in escrow pending ?????? with IOI as the default benefactor when... something future undisclosed event happens.

Which would set it all up for RP2.

It's one of those books like the Harry Potter series in which it feels more like it was intended to be easy-to-market, but is not very strong as a story.

Watchmen (2009 film)

It's so fucking slow and SO GODDAMN LONG.

During the scene where the naked blue dude says "it never ends", I blurted out "yeah, like this movie", and the girl a couple of seats down laughed so hard that her boyfriend got mad.

Anime. I just don't get the appeal.

They're just stories with a different set of tropes than what we typically see in the west.
