The fries are gigantic though. Even 7 like Mike said is a lot of potato. After a burger and one order of fries I'm already full. If you are on a 2nd or 3rd order of fries you are either a super athlete or a fatty.
You can order parmesian fries as your endless ones, they don't even cost anything extra. The trick is to order those and just eat the skin of the fries and avoid filling up on the rest of the 'tater
my favorite thing about Red Rocket is the same thing about all of the director's films, his cast is usually so unknown you can talk to them whenever, they got like real minimum wage jobs and shit. Not that Null or the Kiwifarms mods woud get into doing bullshit AMAs but Simon Rex might be switching off of lunch shift soon if he gets his breakfast making cert for mcdonalds, which means some extra free time.
I now want to see them give it a proper review and explain why they don't like it. Jay took a shot at the editing but their main issue with the movie seems to be they don't like the people involved, mostly Leo and the director for being arrogant hypocrites. I haven't seen it and have no desire too either. Seems too preachy for my taste.
Should be Rich Evans instead of Mike. Rich was kicked out of an all you can eat buffet once.
If Jay's opinion on Adam McKay's editing is anything like mine, it's bad enough to ruin an otherwise good film. I never saw Don't Look Up, but Vice was an otherwise excellent Dick Cheney biopic with great performances from some of the best actors in Hollywood, ruined by film school-tier wacky editing and framed around a horribly obnoxious self-insert narrator character.
I liked Step Brothers and Talladega Nights, but only as surface level goofy retard comedies.
Funny. I told a friend, "He's like Mike Leigh making Harmony Korine movies—but it's not as unpleasant as that sounds." Jay's right that the photography and casting are better than all the similar stuff, and that changes the fundamental vibe, making it more like '70s movies. It doesn't feel "judgmental" in the way that more recent prole-sploitation/pseudo-documentary films do. Leigh got that right sometimes, too.
It was and is obnoxiously annoying. The only stuff I liked was Jonah Hill just playing an asshole but he's got great timing and his insults mostly land on target. Everything else is a total sneering drag.
Hollywood making a movie posturing that Climate Change isn't addressed enough in the mainstream media because they're scared of offending their caveman viewer base is the most hilariously tone deaf thing I've ever heard of. The literal opposite reality is largely true.
Old RLM?
Funny that they mention "Wild Beasts" in their latest video. The director also made the "Goodbye Uncle Tom" movie that is infamous on the Farms and his co-director Gaultiero Jacopetti once seduced an underage Gypsy girl and also served 3 months in a Hong Kong jail after trying to abduct two underage Chinese girls. There is a topless scene of a minor in that film, which is truly fucked up.
I just found it odd since Severin released this and a Polanski film yet rallied against Richard Stanley and his allegations.
