Oh this is trending, that reminds me - why was this such a piece of crap?


The title says it all. I watched it some 20 years ago and have never regretted my life choices more.

It's a steaming pile of garbage made for pretentious overthinkers who try to forcibly find a deeper meaning in the way that an art gallery would prop up a scribble drawn by a 2 year old.

1 more thing. This is a hot take that's never been more true, but anyone could make a movie better than this. No exaggeration. Anyone.

Tommy Wiseau, Tyler Perry, Michael Bay, Ed Wood, my 11-year-old neighbour. There's so much hyperbole in your comment. And some arrogance too.

reply

Michael Bay could definitely make a better movie than this, and every Bay film is 2nd in disaster after this film! If your 11 year old had 0 camera training and video editing experience, and you handed them a camera tomorrow and said "make a movie", I have no doubt that it would be kind of a mess but it would still be more of a brilliant mess than this film.

How long until the edibles wear off?

Lol.

Do you truly believe that every single film is worse than this film? Like, even Battlefield Earth, The Room, some obscure drama from the 30s that no-one watched, and the 40 hour Andy Warhole documentary that is just a static shot of the Empire State Building?

I think you're just angry that people have different opinions from you!

2001 is my favorite film of all time. Thanks for reading.

There are so many posts like yours that someone parodied them! Nobody got it though.

2001 is an enduring work of art that invites & challenges the viewer, whom it credits with being curious & intelligent. Films used to do that, and for the general public, not just some avant-garde minority.

reply

Bahahahah! More like curious and gullible. The simps are sucked into thinking it's a deeper film, when it's actually not.

reply

It's not your sort of film & nothing wrong with that. You get nothing out of it. Others do. And there's a great deal to be found in it, for those who are open to it.
