first post, longtime lurker lmao
saw it at an adv screening a few weeks ago… thought it was a 7/10
got to read the script a year ago before leo made changes and it wasn’t much better
leo’s first non-classic film since j.edgar
still wildly entertaining but idk… i love adam mckay and i feel like if this was an hour 40 it could’ve been a classic
Why does Adam like cutting scenes when the character is in the middle of saying a word/sentence
I’m convinced someone told Adam once that cutting away mid sentence is a fun tool for a laugh and he took it to heart and now does it every single time he makes a joke

you’re not lying 🤣
Damn this movie felt long even tho it was only technically 10 minutes over 2 hours.
It was coo, dragged in the 2nd act tho. Satire is a difficult thing to tackle and McKay just doesn’t have it. That Leo scene of him yelling on the tv show was too similar to “Network”
I think this woulda been better if tone wise he went more of the big short route rather than a satire.
Movie should of been like an hour 40 minutes

Does he do it in all his films? Never noticed til now. But yea I don’t like it
Also I didn’t find this movie that funny. Only a few Jonah Hill parts and Leo freaking out in the first act

I’m not sure I never noticed it til now cus it happens in every single scene

Yeah bro his editing is so weird. Even the start of the film when they first showed Leo and ‘Right thurr’ was playing, idk that s*** looked weird
Movie was a 7/10 but I’m a mckay stan
The writing and comedy definitely could’ve been “tighter”
Overall was still entertaining. Doesn’t have to be as “cerebral” as big short to be good
Lmao they made Chris Evans character look just like Eddie Nero in Californiacation

I loved that part was definitely a dig at mconohey
Average person is just gonna be happy celebrities are doing funny things
Pretty much how i feel lol
So is this entertaining? That’s all I care about
Yea it’s definitely entertaining but not as “high level” as mackays other s***
Everyone saying this is bad and I just refuse to believe a movie starring Leo can be bad. Looking forward to being disappointed I guess lol

To me, personally, nothing that's "bad" about this movie is due to the performances of Leo and Jennifer. They were great

Wait Chris evans part? What happen

It wasn’t bad to me. It was cool, alright, decent. Should of be better tho. And ya man Steven Segal got a picture in the movie
Wait Chris evans part? What happen
Basically celebrities who play the “centrist”

Mmm didn’t even know Matthew was like that

Also the rock too
Basically any super popular celebrity that tries not to offend “middle america” they always on the “civility” stuff
And matt is definitely like that. He spent like the past year contemplating a governor run in texas and some of the things he said
