"AKA that movie with the killer tire that roams around. I mean, it's not terrible, and I get what they were going for, but you still have to ask yourself the OP's question after watching it. Did I really just spend an hour and a half on that?"

"It's definitely a weird, great little movie that deserves a cult following. I've only ever recommended it to people with an absurd sense of humor.
"I looked up the director (Quentin Dupieux) a little after posting my answer and checked out some of the trailers for his other work. I definitely think I'm going to go see if I can find some of his stuff via streaming (Mandibles and Smoking Causes Coughing are at the top of that list).

"I saw this movie in theaters — fully prepared for it to be fucked up. An older couple sat in front of me — they must have never heard of Darren Aronofsky and just liked Jennifer Lawrence. Well, two hours in or so, 'that scene' went down, and they got up so fast, the man fell over the next row of seats, and they left in a full sprint for the door."

"The Last Jedi was my answer to this. It left me with such a 'WTF' that I didn't even bother watching Rise of Skywalker. I read the plot synopsis and just rolled my eyes back into my skull.
"The thing is, though, I don't even blame Rise of Skywalker for being bad. I was absolutely stumped about what the hell they could possibly do to rescue that broken story. After what Last Jedi did to it, I had absolutely zero confidence that anything coherent or satisfying could possibly come from the third movie in the trilogy. The fact that Rise of Skywalker is such a chaotic mess is just proof of that."

"I watched it before watching the anime when I was 12 years old. Needless to say, I was fucking baffled. But honestly, watching the anime, the final six (?) episodes with the added scenes and dialogue, and then rewatching it made it so impactful.
"Nothing is worse than being a teenager with a dead mom and shitty dad, and you’re gonna make him be your Christ figure? Ohhhh boy. Also, I love how the anime focuses on 'mech'/'alien' violence, and 60% of the movie is just brutal human violence that occurs to the cast you’ve grown to know and love/hate.
"Artsy indulgence be damned, it’s still one of my favorite series and finale movies to watch."
