Burning White-Hot Friendship-Ending Movie Hot Takes
I recently read a tweet asking folks to share their most potentially controversial movie-related hot takes. As soon I shared mine, I knew I’d want to hear LGM’s hot takes.
Me? I really disliked “Mad Max: Fury Road.” I found it goofy, and not endearingly so. The whole time I was watching it, my eyes were lodged so far up in my skull (I was rolling my eyes, get it?) I’m not even sure I’ve actually technically seen it. But, seriously, I’m legitimately baffled by its acclaim. Don’t get it. At all.
I’ve talked about this before, but I enjoy the movie “Sin City.” Stylistically, I think it’s a terrific film. I think there’s a sense of play at work that is really appealing to me. It’s fun to look at. I even enjoy its goofy dialogue. I think it’s over-the-top, extraordinarily misogynistic, hyper-macho and profoundly silly. And yet I continue watching it and wringing enjoyment from it. Come at me.
Now give me your best movie hot-take. And don’t make it mealy-mouthed. Let’s piss some people off.
