Passengers really pissed me off, it takes some real skill to take such a good premise and turn it into whatever the fuck that movie was. Mario movie didn't make me hate
as an actor, it was obvious slop. Passengers did because the premise baited me into watching slop when I was expecting existential horror.
E: I would say it made me hate Lawrence as an actress too, but she actually expressed regret for starring in it at least.
The existential horror is being awakened on a ship and essentially having a life sentence to living alone with an incel
tech guy.
Also, they had Laurence Fishburne in it so I wanted them to end up Event Horizon-ing lol.
I rented that one from a DVD kiosk (lol) and someone wrote "broken disc" on it. The thing worked fine on my setup at home, so I returned it with a note: "DVD works, but the movie sucks"
An incel tech guy that voluntarily entered into debt slavery because the utopia (iirc?) he was living in wasn't rewarding enough.🙄
I wish Pratt would fuck off. He's part of a very right-wing church that is openly homophobic and transphobic. Any time it comes up, he tries to skirt around it with "Oh golly gee shucks I don't know I just go there because it's the local church everyone goes to."
I shouldn't be surprised given Marvel's main executive guy was a right-wing chud, so of course he gives the only chuds he can find movie roles (not sure if that guy is still there after the merger with Disney).
