Not everything is for everyone
Books
No idea how anyone ever thought this was a true story.
Barely finished this, not sure how I was convinced it was worth reading (it is not).
Novel-length hustle porn
Interesting premise, but not a fan of the writing style and drags a bit. I enjoyed Hominids more.
I have no idea how this has a 4.2 on Goodreads or how I managed to finish it.
Had to force myself to finish this, I don’t know why this was nominated for a Hugo. There are some interesting ideas, but in the end this is a detective story where the main character is an unlikable Space Karen that uses her money to bully everyone around her.
Not for me
I do not get the hype
Movies & TV
Some gorgeous scenery, but the sadism is unpleasant and exhausting
The chimp gimmick gets old real quick
I don’t know why I even bother to watch these, even on a plane I barely slogged through it.
Enjoyed the first two, but not this one.
I know I shouldn’t have watched this, but I was morbidly curious.
Neo-noir set in post-COVID California. Has a little of the Coen Brothers feel, but with a disjointed, messy plot and an abrupt ending.
Low-budget, cartoonish slapstick inspired by the silent film era. Came highly recommended, but absolutely not for me.
A very well-made movie, and Rose Byrne does a fantastic job, but it’s stressful and I never want to watch it again.
They just keep on making these, and I keep on watching due to nostalgia and having kids who love dinosaurs. The effects continue to be great, and there’s no lack of acting talent, but the writing is just so poor and repetitive.
Just watch the original, it’s better in every way.
Some impressive stunts, but the dialog is just so horrendous and it’s entirely too long
Came highly recommended, and I thought I’d like it but it just didn’t connect for me. Perhaps if I’d seen the show beforehand?
Good cast completely wasted due to poor writing.
Seems I’ve aged out of this type of movie (college drug trip), but I get the appeal
The first was decent. This one I didn’t enjoy.
Rehashing the original, a bunch of pointless fan service and cameos
If you want a silly stoner comedy, then this completely delivers
Waste of a talented cast
