That is the stuff that populates my nightmares!!!!

I honestly cannot think of anything more boring and pretentious than a person who holds that view. It' s ridicoulous. It' s the stuff that bleeding art types of actors/writers/directors vomit all the time, and I loathe that category of people. The kind that feels superior because they have such sophisticated tastes!!!!!!!! 🙄🙄🙄

And then they like movies like Wes Anderson' s stuff and "The Lighthouse".

man I love my Robert eggers movies but it’s not a sign of smarts or sophistication. They’re just nifty.

It’s such a weird pseudo-cultured view that anything not avant-garde Arthousey and overtly stating “look at these intellectuals who are quirky and oh so smart” is immature. Usually the competitively “well-read” ones.

I liked The VVitch (which, as you said, wasn' t smart or sophisticated but was intriguing and entertaining), but good God, The Lighthouse was ridicoulous and pretentious. I watched it because I thought it was a psychological thriller/horror and because lighthouses rock! What I got was two hours of farts and bodily fluids and a masculinity crisis that kicked off because the two men in the movie can' t stand jerking off and fucking mattresses instead of having sex with women. Of course in black and white with some mythological reference thrown in because that' s what real art is about!!!!!

I like weird movies, but this wasn' t weird, it was just dumb.

I absolutely agree with the rest: the worst are the ones who still pretend that they are being artists/mature while exploiting/supporting a commercial trend. Like everyone who made and liked "Joker": yes, it was based on a comic book character (kinda), but everyone who made it did it for art and not because super-heroes are the cinematic trend of the moment! And everyone who watched it is a sophisticated Renaissance Man, not a basement dweller who likes the MCU or The Justice League movie!!! No, sir!!!! 🙄

I always thought that I was being a shit by hating all of Wes Anderson's pretentious bullshitty stuff. Thank you for this, the world grew a bit brighter tonight.

LOL, nah, I am hating on them with you!!!! And I can assure you we are not alone.

I have seen at least half a dozen of his movies because I keep trying to understand what people find in them. Not only I haven' t found an answer, but I end up forgetting what the movie is about because they are so bland that I just forget them. The only one I remember is The Grand Budapest Hotel, and that' s because I watched it like a month ago. By november, I will have forgotten that as well.
