my friend / crush™ was staring at me when the new DJ appeared talking about gear

Really expected there to be a second reveal because I didn’t buy the reactions to the initial one at all. Found the editing very showy and annoying. Had some funny moments and Zendaya’s dead good but never hooked me enough to give a fuck when the tension was meant to be mounting

the wedding itself felt a bit small scale for the level of wealth they’re implied to have didn’t it? like we saw one room really, and I feel like if someone is living in that apartment they had in Noo Yawk Ciddy then you’ve got some incredibly serious bunce and would have a wedding markedly more opulent
the wedding was high earning yuppies who’s parents have a big detached house and a holiday home, but the apartment was offspring of russian oligarch
(I don’t have firsthand experience of these wealth brackets tbf, I’m just an ex-connoisseur of social media and reality TV, I’m probably talking absolute bullshit)
Do you have a timestamp for when that happens. Would be interested in seeing that bit.
They were in Boston/Cambridge, I thought.
(not that it makes a huge difference to your argument)
oh! I was thrown off by that scene where Zendaya goes spare at the car when she’s walkin here

My Dad lived in rural Georgia for many years and you could do everything drive-thru. Banking, dry cleaning, everything. Outrageous stuff!
Zendaya and Alana Haim absolutely carried the fuck out of this ridiculous film.
It was kind of fun though. Pattinson doing his best bumbling Hugh Grant.
Score was very annoying. Random flute blips? No thank you. How about lots of them? Go away.
Thought it was good fun, I knew absolutely nothing going in and it did wrong-foot me a bit at the start with all the Hugh Grant stuff.
Strongly agree that
Got so stressed about that guy constantly introducing more speeches. Abandon the speeches man! Loved both DJs.

I think we’ll maybe give the film industry another year though then I’ll phone up the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and tell them to start winding down the trend of editing entire films as montages. Film editors have had their fun.
Really liked this, laughed a lot. Loved how silly and unreasonable all the other characters were too, felt like a long episode of curb your enthusiasm but better than that. Haim is a great Karen. Bit of a dud ending

Glad people have warned about the vomitting. I will not be going to see this at the cinema.
Definitely didn’t need the diner scene ending tbh, if it had just ended with him absolutely broken, face down on his table in his lonely apartment with that song playing it may have got the full 5 stars from me tbh

I hate vomit in film. I am still so incredibly scarred by the triangle of sadness.
I really liked it but also had it spoiled for me which is kind of annoying. I liked that there is no right and wrong answer and it’s incredibly murky. You could argue it both ways.
I’m not sure I like Alana Haim in films. Just gonna say it. She plays Alana Haim very well tho.

Couldn’t really see beyond RP’s terrible hair and feeling like he was constantly doing a Hugh Grant impression. Is he always like that?!
Liked it otherwise, had it not been for him which is unfortunate given the screen time he gets.
No. I genuinely think he’s one of the very best actors out there, who picks really interesting films, but because of the Twilight background and his attitude to fame, he doesn’t get the props of other ‘serious’ actors like Tom Hardy or Joaquin Phoenix.

I saw him in that clone film and liked him, but just hated him in this so bad. Tired of British portrayals being that I guess.
Yeah, R-Patz fuckin rules.
