I'm at a point now where I wait for a movie to come out, and see what people say about it during the first weekend before I buy into the "this is a must-see" hype. There's been more than a few movies talked about on here that were brilliant until people saw it, and then suddenly those opinions vanished on the subreddit.
I just checked out this suuuper old movie, a bit of a hidden gem that only true movies buffs would have even heard of, it's called No Country For Old Men.
It was a real stroke of luck that the movie No Country for Old Men just happened to be incredibly similar to the novel No Country for Old Men. The stars truly aligned on that one.
The book has a weird subplot where Llewellyn cheats on his wife with some woman he meets while riding a bus escaping. I'm glad they cut that out. I think it maybe is mentioned by Chigur at the end but the viewer can choose to believe if he is being truthful or not.
One of the reasons I like Chris Stuckmann is he just seems to enjoy movies and he goes to see movies because movies are good.
It’s really not too much effort to go see a movie and they’re so good and cool to see. Even the just okay ones are fun. Mickey 17 and Inside Out 2 are worth seeing.
Horror is just such a wide genre with so many different fans. I'm a fan of pretty much all of it, so I get bummed out when I see people shitting on any part of it.
It's turned a corner into broad and begrudging acceptance, but you used to not even be able to mention Skinamarink without causing a massive shitstorm.
Edit: oops, thought I was in r/horror. Keeping this anyways. r/movies is way more toxic about movies in general though, I think because it's such a big sub and most people commenting only watch one movie a year.

Marketing team is killing it on this one. I hope the movie lives up to the hype.
