What have you watched that you expected to either be mediocre at best or complete dogshit at worst? My biggest surprise was Game Night from 2018 which I saw a year or two ago. My parents occasionally go up to our local grocery store and pick something out from the RedBox there that they think looks good and it tends to be hit or miss, a.) because it's RedBox and b.) because I'm not into most of the stuff they watch. However, I'm not going to complain about a free movie and I didn't have anything going on the night that they rented it so I decided to watch it with them. I expected it to be a dumb mainstream comedy with some half-baked crime elements thrown in based on the poster but I actually thought it was a lot of fun.

>pretty original story with lots of twists and was a good balance of comedy and suspense

>particularly enjoyed the gimmick of most of the characters being equally stupid and gullible and trying to figure out what the fuck's going on

>token black friend couple and women in the mix too but they're just as stupid as everyone else and aren't Mary Sues

>good acting overall and the majority of the jokes land

>avoids most tropes I figured would be in it

>well done cinematography with a lot of pretty interesting shots I wasn't expecting from a comedy, especially a tracking shot in a mansion during a chase and several times when they make everything/everyone look like they're all on a game board from afar

>cool electro-synth score

>only a couple woke moments and they're honestly not that bad (one cheap Ronald Blumpf joke and a reference to the Daily Stormer)

>Rachel McAdams

My only real criticisms are that the villain was pretty one-dimensional, was only in the movie for like 10 minutes in total and was a complete waste of Michael C. Hall; I thought Jason Bateman was basically playing the same character he usually does but I was kind of expecting that going into it; and the way the villain gets taken down toward the end is fairly predictable. All in all though, this wPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>Yes, well, you see, by golly, for quite some time, maybe all my life, nobody, not one single person, and I do mean nobody, believe me when I say nobody, yes not a soul in my entire life since I was a boy, since I was born even, not one single person cared much at all, not one iota, no, nobody cared who I was, not me, not this man you see today, nobody cared who I was until I put on this mask, you see, hmm.

Post something you've watched that you liked up until a certain point and then thought it either fell apart or was at the very least tainted by something and then never recovered afterward. For me, it was Chungking Express. I loved the first story and progressively hated the second more and more. Why the fuck would you make a movie with multiple, similar stories in the same setting involving characters under similar circumstances and yet they're completely separate from each other? I wasn't really a fan of Fallen Angels either but Christ, at least some of the characters from the different story lines in that one crossed over and actually had something to do with each other. Even less than that, the first story was just much better done overall. It was funny, sad, suspenseful and romantic and was paced incredibly well. The cop and the blonde chick are somewhat memorable and even though they're fated to only meet one time because he's a cop and she's a criminal, it's still enjoyable watching the two of them together in the brief time they have. The second story is mostly just sad and has a happy ending but fucking drags on like molasses in the summer and is incredibly repetitive. Faye Wong is decent but just fucks around in the cop's apartment when he's out working and plays the exact same music at her job over and over again, and the cop is too retarded to even notice she's been in his apartment until he literally catches her doing it in person toward the end. This would've been a great film if it was just the first 40 minutes or if the two stories crossed over, but instead this was made. What a disappointment.

So was forsitia the cure?

Why was the movie so ridiculously accurate about current coronavirus?

why did the government suppressed forsitia and instead dedicated efforts in a ((( vaccine ))) ?
