    I haven’t had the pleasure yet, but my shitty intuition is telling me this is a future cult classic.

      Watched it yesterday and totally agree, Mark Ruffalos performance was a perfect out of touch elite.

          Enough so that when you see them you’d say “wow that’s a lot of sausages”

    It’s a pretty good film, worth a watch if it’s the kind of thing you’re into

      I said goodbye to theaters years ago; the cost of attendance is unjustifiable anymore.

      try searching for a less-than-scrupulous streamer on yandex, it was literally the first result for me. seems to be a proper rip as well, quality is surprisingly nice!

        Given that the movie has some references to rather specific news stories from the past year, yes, there are things not in the book in the movie, and those are some of the best parts.

          Thanks, just finished the first book, wanted to make sure the movie would spoil the next one!

      It’s the story of a loser nobody with no plans, no hope and no future finding meaning and happiness in his life. In a very roundabout and fucked up way. If you enjoy stories about hapless protagonists failing upwards then you’ll enjoy this.

    It’s ok.

    I haven’t read the book, but it has the feel of a movie that tried to include every subplot from the source material. A lot of cool things mentioned or hinted at but not satisfyingly explored.

    I think it would have benefitted from a 3 hour run, or an aggressive edit down to a tight 90. At 2 hours and change it’s simultaneously too long and too short.

    Cool, now I can watch it.

    Movie theaters are such a joke now. To see a movie with just one other person is easily $50+, possibly slightly higher. All that to possibly end up in a theater with someone loud af anyway and a theater staff that doesn’t give the slightest fuck since they’re also criminally underpaid.
