I think that’s all I can commit to, but there are a few significant 2020s films I’ve missed so far

2. Limbo
3. Past Lives
4. Everything Everywhere All at Once
5. Polite Society
6. Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes
7. Aftersun

13. Full Time
14. Evil Does Not Exist
15. The Zone of Interest
16. May December
17. Titane

I knew I fell behind on movie watching but I didn’t realize I fell a decade behind

 

Anyway I had never seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre part 2 so I threw it on last night and wow. It was the same director as the first but instead of building on the tone of the first it right off the bat is a fun comedy/gore style horror movie with Leatherface taking his chainsaw show on the road. It’s a very fun movie I’m just surprised they kind of spoofed their own film lol There has to be a story behind how this was made

 

I have tcm2 sitting on my hard drive via accident trying to get the orginal

I think it can be productive to compare worst list when you come from an attitude like Spyki of comparing taste even though it's fun to use more aggressive language

 

Tcm2 is a masterpiece

 

Skinamarink is probably the best horror film of the decade so far.

 

Well now I feel even better about it. I'd have had to rethink my whole life if you'd approved.

 

See Moonfall absolutely IS bad. But it knows it's bad. And it's fun bad. The moon literally sneaks up behind them and jumpscares them at one point. I was yelling "yes!!!" at the screen.

 

Polite Society was such a pleasant surprise when it was such a different movie than the trailers made it out to be.

 

I don’t think I saw any trailers for it, how was it marketed?

 

It seemed like it was going to be all zany wuxia stuff to the point that I couldn’t talk my buddy into seeing it because he was convinced it was going to be a rip-off of Everything Everywhere All at Once

 

Having bloody nose, empty pockets on the worst of list is insane.

 

A more mean spirited collection of some of the worst films I’ve been unfortunate enough to see this decade.

After We Collided (might be THE worst film I’ve seen? Maybe that’s just a little hyperbole).
The Boy 2
Night Swim
Red Notice
Dashcam
Thunder Force
An American Pickle
Fatal Visit
Fear Street

 

Lol, I expected Night Swim to be bad based on...everything I heard, but I didn't hate it. Imaginary was much worse.

I also really enjoyed the Fear Street series.

 

Aw I liked the first Fear Street a lot.

Crossed LB and imdb to see what else I really didn't like. Dr. Bird's is the only 2/10 I've given this decade but some 3s and 4s:

3/10
Cinderella (the musical starring Camilla Cabello)
The Boss Baby: Family Business
Morbius

4/10:
Halloween Kills
Cruella
Cocaine Bear
The 355
Space Jam: A New Legacy
Capone
Impractical Jokers: The Movie
Desperadoes

 

Space Jam 2 was the second best horror movie of the decade after Skinamarink.

 

I finally got around to watching Civil War(2024) last night and I really enjoyed it. I didn't really know what to expect going in, but I was thinking it would be more of an action flick. Pleasantly surprised that it was a much more human story.Kirsten Dunst was incredible. She absolutely nailed the emotional exhaustion one could expect of a long time war journalist. Cailee Spaeny also gave an excellent performance, I had never seen her in anything before, but now I want to watch Alien: Romulus. You could see her getting addicted to the adrenaline as the movie progressed.

I don't get the opportunity to see many current movies, but I'm very glad I took the time to sit down and watch this one.

 

I watched Subservience tonight, and that would 100% make this list.

 

One of the wilder takes ive seen on this site

 

I feel like it would be the worst to someone if they heard all the praise but didn't really have a lot of experience with something so plotless and seemingly directionless.

 

Favorites:
Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets
Aftersun
The Fabelmans
I’m Thinking of Ending Things
In a Violent Nature


Least Favorite:
The Whale
Mean Girls
Wonka
Saltburn
Bottoms
Dear Evan Hansen
Where the Crawdads Sing
Britney vs. Spears
Bodies, Bodies, Bodies

 

Feel like Bottoms in your Worst list is also a wild take

 

Bottoms is hard to get through minus the Lynch scenes.
