Not as bad as watching a movie with friends when everyone else loved it and you were the only one who hated it lol. It feels so much more visceral.

Yep this is the downside of being a discerning film lover with a friend group that watches movies together. I had this experience recently when we saw Longlegs (2024) in theaters. One friend LOVED it (he has notoriously bad taste), two friends thought it was decent, and I thought it was mediocre.

For us the infamous moment was Banshees of Inisherin. I thought it was mid. My wife hated it. Everybody else loved it.

Well, you're wrong. But I forgive you and wouldn't refuse you a Halloween invitation over this opinion. πŸ’œ

Yeah that film was bizarre; I liked aspects of it but overall thought it was too weird

Oh man, an old group of friends didn't look at me the same after they invited me to see Bohemian Rhapsody, but I said I wasn't interested. I just despise musicals. The Joker 2 is a perfect example why. They fucking ruin everything.

someone was hyped about beetlejuice 2 and i said i hadn't seen the first one so he put it on. it's a godawful dumpster fire of a movie but apparently im the only one who thinks so.
