After minute three of a standing ovation, I am sitting my ass down. Ain't no art worth all that.

Clapping at a movie in general is weird. It makes a bit more sense at a premier where the director and actors may be in attendance, I suppose.

Admittedly this is a bias of mine, but I wish we'd stop elevating action movies with cool set pieces as "masterpieces." Anya Taylor-Joy has 30 total lines of dialogue in this movie. How much story can there really be there? She runs around fighting people, it sounds like.

Something can be an amazing achievement in set design, practical effects, and stunt choreography without being a masterpiece. Movies still have to be grounded in powerful character arcs, thematic exploration, visual symbolism, and story to be masterpieces, imo.

Is this just the normal applause time at Cannes? Must be the most sycophantic circlejerk ever. This isn't even getting good reviews.

I wasn’t going to watch this until I watched Metropolis, and I don’t think I’ll ever be motivated enough to watch Metropolis.

My friend applauded at the end of Bring It On in the movie theater
