Mortal Engines looks awful. But Marwen looked kind of sweet? I actually wanted to see it. Isn’t it getting awful reviews too?

If you haven't already, I would recommend the documentary it's based on: Marwencol.

It was stupid to open this film wit 3 big named films. None of the studios wanted to back down and now they are all paying the price apart from WB (for once)

Jesus. I thought this movie came out a couple years ago wtf.

[epicdonald]

Same, idk what movie I'm thinking of but I could have sworn this movie came out a while ago

This is our Mandela Effect moment.

In Dinner for Schmucks Steve’s character used to make dolls out of dead rodents so maybe you’re thinking of that?

Carrell is not having luck with his oscar-baity films.

Cause he sucks and is a secret republican

[safdies]

receipts?

He’s super catholic and refuses to discuss his political views and thinks you have to have a big ego to be involved in politics lol

Usually if you’re of the “I don’t pay attention to politics” mentality and refuse to discuss what you believe then your views more than likely suck and you’re just afraid of being attacked.

Either way, no matter what he believes, not being involved in politics is lazy and a big turn off for me. Especially when you got your start on the daily show?????

the premise for this film is so creepy

[disasterboss]

what do you mean? i see an ad for this every time i'm on instagram but i still don't get what the plot is...

It’s based on a true story, of a guy who was severely beaten and left with brain injury. He relied on an imaginary world he crafted with figurines to get through everything.

[wearescientists]

I always took it as a way for him to cope with his PTSD but didn’t realize the brain injury part
