I think this is more about Men than this movie

Sounds like he just doesn’t like the promo grind after the movie is done?

Roll out crazy. Tracking numbers must be low.

I mean men they really misunderstood and hated on him and now this press run too . S*** annihilation got some hate too . His movies are too heart felt for him to get hate for raising questions. Even if I obviously think this topic as a blockbuster his biggest risk . People wanted it to be just democrat vs republican or anti Trump and he clearly is saying something more if California and Texas teamed up . Something that people don’t want to consider the darkness of humanity just darkness of the other side

Which is part of why Us Peele was so hated too

But fr... didn't he say he would quit like two years ago? That article can't be recent. I know for sure I read he said he was going to be done awhile back.

I told y’all no one was buying tickets

I think he said it around men but this cemented it . Article just dropped day before April fools he dead ass

A high RT score is not a good indicator for a movie like this

If it said anything interesting, or anything at all, it wouldn’t be that high lol.

Damn

best news I've heard all week

Why yall hate him like this man

if it said anything interesting it wouldn't be directed by Alex Garland

I mean I think he wanted to avoid saying too much . People think it’s a good look at journalism as heroes but have said without why the civil war is occurring ever being explained it feels vapid and irresponsible

So he’s an uninspired hack

I think he wanted to avoid picking a side because the point of the movie is how polarized everything is when there is nuance . Again he mentions some of this in interview

garland hate

men might be one of the worst films i've ever watched being fr

Yall can’t be for real

That’s a shame

Movie got hella panties in a bunch lol

Garland is just gonna go back to writing films lol. It's not a big deal. Didn't want to see his take on the Iraq War at all

I mean I like his directing style

Garland has planned quitting directing for years. In this article from 2022 he says Civil War will be his last movie as a director for a while but will continue writing

Same way if Ari Aster just retiired after beau is afraid

Garland, Aster . Peele are all newer wave directors where I like something about their style. Where the movie world without them will be missing something. Also basically based on article seems he hyped to write 28 years later but everything else he kind of good on basically just retiring
