Corner Office (2022)
a movie about the struggle for happiness ?
Alot of reviews here are saying the movie was boring or , too strange , or about mental illness ... I think you have to know what to expect before seeing it because you might be disapointed or confused if you were expecting it to be something different than what it is ( like how many people disliked , or were confused by , the movie "Mother" because they didnt know it was more simbolic before seeing it ) .
For me this was a movie about someone trying to do what makes them happy - but finds themself ostracized by a society that judges what he is doing to be weird and makes them uncomfortable ... and his struggle to want to fit into a society that 1. He dislikes and 2. He would have to sacrifice his own happiness to be welcomed into .
So I guess you would also find it difficult to relate to the main character if you have never been in a similar position and are more similar to the other people in the office .
Hello Tomorrow! (2023)
an idea for a tv show
"hey we have got this script for a show about sales reps scamming people into buying timeshares in the 1950's"
"ok , but the idea has been done many times before and the story they have written is a bit weak ... but you do have Hank Azaria attached"
"hey , what if we set it in an alternative 1950's and add a bunch of sci-fi tecnology - that'll distract the viewers from the boring story and keep them entertained"
"yeah , the alternative past thing worked great for us on For All Mankind ... and by adding robots and hovercars we might trick some of the scifi fans into giving it a try"
"sounds like a winner to me"
Joker (2019)
meh
Basically a bad remake of taxi driver with bits of King of Comedy thrown in to replace the underage prostitute parts ... oh and lets throw a little batman stuff in there too to link it to those popular superhero movies .
problem is unlike Taxi Driver the main character is very unappealing , unlikable , and hard to sympathise with ... not just getting retribution on those who have wronged him Bronson style - he's more American Psycho killing basically innocent people for fun . Glamorising violence against inocent people by the mentally disturbed not a great message to be putting out there nowadays .
also wayyyy too much time wasted on Phoenix dancing and mugging to the camera - they could have cut out 45 minutes and still made the same movie just less long and boring .
Alien: Covenant (2017)
Scotts F U to Alien fans
so Ridley Scott tried to do something unique and interesting with Prometheus but Alien fans crapped all over it saying they wanted to see people getting chased around a spaceship by an alien again - so this is his sarcastic response to that ... and his revenge by tainting the original movies and destroying the franchise they loved . I guess he thinking "that'll teach ya'll to stop moaning like a bunch of bitches cos what you'll get as a result is something 10 times worse" .
