here looks sooooooooo bad lol, the zemeckis flop era continues

finally watched the substance last night and tbh aside from demi moore, the fx/makeup/prosthetic work and the score, i thought it was pretty mid. kinda entertaining at times but more derivative and dumb than anything else, and very french (in a bad way). cannot believe it won best screenplay at cannes when the dialogue reminded me of m night shyamalan at his worst!

One of us (re: The Substance)! Except I disliked it even more than you and was kind of offended by its idiocy.

yeah i found it more laughable than offensive - i don't think it was meant to be a comedy, but who can never be sure! i definitely think the people lauding it as some kind of subversive feminist masterpiece are out of their damn minds lmao

i don't think it was meant to be a comedy

Grotesque body horror film The Substance will compete in comedy/musical category at Golden Globes

(but I certainly think the movie can be labeled a satire, so it's not the worst movie to ever be considered for that category...The Tourist got nominations, after all)

if it was intentionally comedic then some of the choices make sense! the satire did not work for me tho tbh

It failed at being a satire or a "ha-ha"-type comedy.
