I'm appreciating the discourse this film has started despite my lack of enjoyment of it. I'll go back for a rewatch at some point but currently the more I think about it, the more cold I am on it.

Definitely feel you on this

damn this was trash

I feel like 1/3 movies I have a s*** crowd experience. During monkey man these women whispered through the entire movie. I have no idea what people talk about during movies. This happens a lot when they don’t stfu it’s jarring

Surprisingly civil war was crowded but not a single peep from anymore

Commit seppuku brother

Yea I think it may be for the best that garland hangs it up as a director

I liked this a lot. Going to be thinking about it for a while

Dictator president and authoritarian government

3rd term presidency
Disbanded the FBI
Hates the press

Sounds an awful lot like Trump

this was fire

Where does this ranked among Garland's works? I can't say I'm a fan but I like some of the stuff he does

Was rly feeling it for the first half but the wheels fell off quickly for me

Hated the tone shifts and awkward humor beats

Bro why the fk the president just hanging in the oval office lmao

The pandemic showed us how garbage the theater usually is unless it’s empty. Much better at home with even a simple sound setup

@ChiraqPalestine @twitch gonna go for the rewatch on Thursday

Rewatch helps for sure . I think the first hour kind of all over pacing wise for me though

Only place he feels safe

Im in the cinema and so far Civil War is incredible @twitch

Love how he reneged on that 2 seconds afterwards. Must've seen the reaction. FML

Garland’s second best film imo

Everything was fire up until the final 5 minutes

Idk if the ending was just unseasoned or if the meaning of it flew over my head

Anyone wanna share their thoughts on the ending

So he said that to generate hype for civil war

Thought it was supposed to make you feel like you're watching something akin to a "warlord/terrorist/seal team 6 death confirmation" photo being taken

In contrast with the setting

Yeah but like the whole point was to get something more out of him for the journalists so it felt so sudden, didn’t expect it to end like that and it didn’t feel truly satisfying to me

But some jaw dropping shots that have already been burned into my brain. The younger girl crawling over those dead bodies that whole “what type of American are you?” scene was filled with tension

my man needs to start getting these Oscar caliber roles. he low-key puts many actors to shame.
