      Two words: Chekov’s Buttplug

      You’re missing out. It’s a slow boil, but then it kicks into gear. Not to mention that everything else at the beginning makes sense and has callbacks. It’s such a thrilling ride!

      That movie is such a rollercoaster you owe it to yourself to finish. It’s just an accelerating spiral of weirdness.

        Idk after a certain point the weirdness just becomes an excuse for tricking the Academy into giving awards to a movie that delivered half of its emotional journey through exposition.

        And it worked, dammit, I DID want a refutation of nihilism told through anal dildo kung fu, it turns out.

      It takes a solid 45 minutes before it even begins to get rolling, and by the end it’s absolute pandemonium. It’s wonderful.

      Honestly, it’s fine. If the humor doesn’t click with you it could be a struggle.

      It didn’t click with me, either. I think it’s fine, but it’s a weird one to have been the mainstream hit that it was.
