Run Lola Run one of my favorites

I’m not pretending there’s no sub text, it’s just not a particularly thematically deep film, and the film beats you over the head with its main themes repeatedly, it does not expect the viewer to do much of any thinking. It’s a kids first introduction to its themes and that’s fine given that it’s a kids film, but it’s not a particularly “deep cut into humanity as a whole”

Yes and the guy who coined the phrase regrets it and wishes he hasn’t ever talked about it.

Best bet for him would be to get some sort of deal with a streaming service. Unfortunately, the type of movies he makes are pretty much destined to flop at the theaters.

The songs were great too. Ciao Papa is so beautiful. If you've lost your father, it's a real tear-jerker.

Sounds like I've got case of the Mondays...

Hahah indeed. Looked like a fast food place. And he was lovin' it.

You're acting like there's no subtext. The subtheme of death, failure and renewal as something regular humans lack and don't understand is a constant theme. Pinocchio gets to live several lives in an environment and time where most humans don't and it enhances the OG story while making its own progress.

I agree the film isn't perfect and the songs should have been better but it's a very deep cut into humanity as a whole.

It’s Chekhov’s gun. Don’t show the ingredients can be deadly if you don’t intend to flirt with it. I think they’re plenty of ways you can illustrate that same point, not that you need to, the film already established this without needing it… also, the film closes on her having a coughing fit. That’s not an accident. Lol

The very very best experience is seeing this movie blind, thinking it’s just a western. You might consider deleting this post and using spoilers?

The foreshadowing on the bad meat is to show how morbid the staff are and how close to death the customers are without knowing it. It doesn't need a physical payoff where it's used to kill someone.

Also, as someone else pointed out, you would never use aged meat for a classic hamburger. The difference in taste would be immediately apparent.

Dracula, repeatedly. LOTR, following on from the cartoon. Red Dragon, Manhunter was poorly received at the time.

You can make a violent movie well or you can make it very very badly. He shows a very good command of his budget and he always gets a good performance from his cast. He’s only a hand full of movies into his career, he shows a huge amount of talent.

Not this stupid theory again. The lady's explanation in the smokehouse was a tad hyperbolic for narrative effect. There is no meat that becomes a deadly poison because it's aged 1 day more. I also don't think it is in Chef's character at all to serve tainted meat especially in a burger (the nostalgia in his eyes as he cooked it showed he was proud of it).

i started watching it with high hopes after all the hypes, but was very disappointed. couldn't go past half, don't have plans to finish watching.

It’s definitely in the 500 Days of Summer, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind vein of “Mr, nice guy” movies.

Has a lot of heart but flawed and will probably continue to age kind of poorly.

Those two were the best. I hope there will be a season 2. It was a lot of fun to get such a wide variety of horror stories.

Dragged Across Concrete made 660k on a 15mil budget, not surprised most wouldn't touch him with a 10ft pole

That was rhetorical. I know what it means. That's what they asked the guy who first said it

He's great in magnolia

Would have dropped Elvis, Top Gun, or Women Talking before Avatar for BP

5/7

You say this, and I get your point, but I think it’s meant to be a point of contention; the foreshadowing for the bad meat is NOT subtle, and the pay off is how she chokes on it the while on the boat in the closing seconds. It’s there to make you doubt what’s happening. Personally, I find it unlikely that he’d kill her that way, I think the director has said so himself, but the film is posing that question. It’s being impish.

Lolol tbf MPDG has been a thing for a minute
