I watched Alien3 and Terminator 3 as a kid when they came out and did enjoy them at the time. I only recently watched Robocop for the first time this past spring. I absolutely loved 1 and 2. I have a few brothers, two of them are movie buffs. One warned me against Robocop 3. Told me not even to bother. The other told me I HAD to watch it to finish the trilogy (two 40+ year old angels on my shoulders whispering in my ears). I got about 15 minutes into it before turning it off due to cringe.
I do have shit taste in movies, though. If a movie wins awards, I most likely am not going to like it. It's like Classic Art. I know Beethoven is an amazing composer, but I'm almost never going to put him on when listening to music. If a movie has escapism and is... you know... fun, I'm probably going to like it. (Dredd (2012), Aliens (1986), Robocop, The Dark Knight, Fury Road, Outland (1981), Escape from NY, First Blood, etc).
That movie Anora that won the oscar this year, or something... I watched it and I fucking hated it.
Like I can get through most movies / find the good in them. This one though...holy hell.
I actually sort of like the main actress in it (even if she has the same creepy "dead shark eyes" vibe that Bella Ramsey does).
However the movie totally failed as a romance (the main woman is an insufferable whore and the main guy is a moron who is wealthy due to his parents). The second half of the movie turned into basically a slapstick comedy where they were chasing the guy around the city after he ran off, checking clubs for him and stuff, to the point where you start to wonder if the guy was supposed to be retarded or the writers were.
I guess it's good if you want to watch Mikey Madison strip and sell herself Onlyfans-style to various men (truly a role model to be celebrated) but it gets real retarded real fast. Yet it won an oscar.
