The premise: a rubber car tyre developed awareness and psychokinetic powers to kill people
The actual experience: Pretentious absurdist French shite.
Maybe some people like it, but I certainly did not. And yes, I will take any opportunity to shit on this film. I wasted 82 minutes of my life, twice, on this poop film
You’re not missing out at all. It’s crap. My gf at the time got upset at me cause I didn’t the movie emotionally compelling (i might have clapped when Winona’s character died) and we shouldn’t see each other.
Two that I can think of. Moulin Rouge. Didn’t get passed the first half hour. Don’t know what it’s about still to this day. And Mamma Mia. I did watch it all and then slapped myself.
Oh my lord do I love watching The Room, it’s just so perfectly quotable!
“Anyway, how’s your sex life?” 😂 And that awkward scene where he fucks her dress? Or the sheets? So delightfully unhinged.
I actually read the book Greg wrote about how he met Tommy and how the movie got made, production etc, also delightfully unhinged. And the Disaster Artist movie was great too.
I liked how dumb it was. Like at the start the guy lists a bunch of movies and includes JFK, then says ‘no one knows why those stories happened, they just did.’
I have a Mubi subscription and have watched a bunch of weird stuff. I may have been more used to pretentious French expressionist cinema at the time too
Worst movie ever watched?
For me: Rubber (2010), dir. Quentin Dupieux.

I loved that movie lol.
I always read it as satire of a particular genre of film.
I’m starting to think that perhaps the issue is me 😂😂😂
Autumn in New York - Richard Gere and Winona Ryder
Shlockfest about a younger woman falling in love with an older man, and then she gets sick (or is sick) and dies near the end of the movie.
Ended a relationship over that piece of shit.
I haven’t seen that tbh, but the premise reminds me a little of City of Angels, with Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage. That film makes me very, very angry

I saw that movie.
it was very very cringe
very nithing, I just didn’t care about a single character or event
Everything was forced and a cliche.
Just pure slop
The trash taking itself out, especially over a shitty movie lol
Movie I have sat all the way through. Most bad movies I will stop watching.
Survive!
I saw this at the movies with my frenemy
it was so bad I laughed, she was really upset I laughed
true, the story was serious, but a serious story is different to a well made movie, which this was not

TIL about the Tarantino connection/reference. Awesome thank you.
Never heard of it but I clicked the link to see what made it serious. How bad must it have been if it ended up a comedy 😂
Lol it has a rotten tomatoes rating of 8%
it has a worse score than the room 😂😂😂

Agree with you on Mama Mia. I think it was popular because of the abba songs, but take that away it’s a nothing much special.
I think they’re gonna make a third and I don’t know why they made a second one.
I liked Moulin Rouge but I watched it as a teen and had a massive crush on both Ewan, Nicole, and the guy that sings Roxanne 😂
Hard agree on Mamma Mia, and I love ABBA 😂
Objectively it has to be The Room, but what makes it so bad also makes it great.

Can you tell I love The Room? 👀

Omg you’ve seen it? I don’t think I’ve met another person who saw it too 😂 TBF that was pretty funny, I’ll give it that lol

Ah fair I saw it a thousand years ago on I want to say netflix maybe? I’m not sure I’ve tried to forget 😂
