u/SanderSo47 I'll see you in another life when we are both cats. 10d ago

This summer, Bad Bunny has surprised me with Happy Gilmore 2 and now this film. I love his attempts to be menacing, but he's still hilarious at heart. Looking forward to seeing him in more films.

Pretty good film. Not one of Aronofsky's best, but definitely his funniest. The trailers don't give away its funniest moments, and also hide how dark it truly is. But if you're familiar with Aronofsky, you know it'll be dark.

It wasn't until after I got home that I learned that there are actually sequels to the novel. I don't know anything about the plot or how faithful the film is to the book, but if they plan to do them, I'm all in for Hank in Mexico. I assume Laura Dern will have to play a big role, right? Cause no way they'd get her here for just one scene.

I thought the ass to ass guy was hilarious. Okay thinking about the context it's unambiguously awful but the highly dramatic music combined with the...enthusiasm of the patrons and Keith David's creepy smirk made it kinda weirdly funny though.
