Rubber

hmmm. disappointing. soooo... fun or not?

I didn't enjoy it at all. It tried way too hard to get it's point across without actually providing any incentive to keep listening to it.

So you're saying that because the quality of horror movies these days is terrible, that another bad "horror" movie that is a satire of said movies (and trying way too hard in the process) is somehow immune from criticism.

Nice. Logic.

Horror movies are doomed to be bad for a long time because they are regarded within the film-making community as a dead-end genre.

Btw nice hipster-level arguing/debating technique, just as original as the movies you accuse me of liking.

I see no point in critically panning a b movie that doesn't try to be anything more than it really is.

Its like saying water is wet. But some people like walking in the rain.

I hardly expect there to be any "innovative elements" in the movie like you claimed. Just your way of trying to backtrack over an otherwise knee jerk reaction with cool buzz words.

So basically you haven't seen the movie.

No I haven't.

But if the premise alone should send someone running away, then I have to question why you watched it to begin with.

The premise of the movie is that it's a movie within a movie that shows that moviegoers are dumb, feckless idiots. Or at least it attempts to.

I thought it might be interesting based on the recommendation of a friend. Turns out it was basically a French movie maker being typically French.

If they had cut the movie down to just be about the tire it'd be a B movie and at least good for a laugh.

I expected it to be an american b movie that's a mockery the modern america horror film.

The movie within a movie premise never works, even in Princess Bride. :\

But at least it did help the narration along in that film. I'll watch Rubber as soon as I have some downtime, but really I don't expect anything other than a movie about a tire killing people.

As long as there's no love story (not involving the tire) I'm good.

Lifelike inanimate objects always remind me of that one show, that only had one episode, from a looong time ago...
