I've never viewed any of his movies because they look so repellent. I'm not opposed to odd stuff; Lynch is essentially my favorite. Anderson I don't think I can do. Each movie he releases, I consider renting a few of his older and going to it. However, I . . . just . . . can't . . . do it. I need to suck it up and give him a try, though.

Million Dollar Baby. 40 shooting days. Clint Eastwood performed, directed, and even played piano. Studio released it juuust in time for Oscar consideration.

If that movie were just released one month later, Annette Bening would've gotten a 2004 Best Actress Oscar for Being Julia and Crash wouldn't be named Best Picture for 2005.

That's cool. Tons of directors are similar in that sense. Don't like it? Watch another movie, there are thousands of new movies every year. I'd say over half of all theatrical releases are absolute garbage but I never run out of amazing films to discover.

You're demanding Hood to start making shoes and Nike to get into the milk business. Don't hold your breath.

Yea. I think Antman was the worst offender for me.

It literally ripped away all the uniqueness of the first 2 films. The 2nd movie wasn't even that good of a movie, but it still had a ton of redeeming properties you can identify. The same ones that made the original funny and entertaining in the first place.

But Quantumania ripped all that away for quick jab attempts at comedy that does absolutely nothing for the characters. There's only 2 good scenes in that movie (the probability thing and the ending fist fight scene) but they fall completely flat because none of it is earned or built up to. Its called Antman and the Wasp and we never get meaningful interaction between the 2 except in those scenes.

Didn't mean to rant about Quantumania, but i genuinely had hope for it (no pun intended) and it ended up being the worst offender yet.

Oh boy, that's a tough question to answer my man.

But it's a adaptation of a theatrical piece by Ariano Suassuna.

In the words of Suassuna himself, the character João Grilo (the short one) "fights against the rural patriarchy, the urban bourgeoisie, the police, the bandits, and even the devil".

It has a lot of religious elements and typical mannerisms of people from the northeast region of the country. It's a very good movie, i couldn't touch all his points here with my limited english.
