#bad movie descriptions

[bargainoriley]

I saw a post recently about badly described movies, and got a great idea! What if someone does this for classic rock movies?

So, everyone, try to describe your favorite classic rock movie badly!

This includes documentaries, any (inaccurate) biopics, movies adapted from a band’s work (e.g. Tommy, Quadrophenia or The Wall), concert movies (e.g. Woodstock, Pink Floyd Live in Pompeii etc.), and also movies starring/created by classic rock artists (e.g. A Hard Day’s Night)

Example: 4 British men save the world by having a psychedelic journey and realize that love is all you need

Do your worst!

i'd be interested in your recent movie list - it's nice to hear what people are watching 🥰

OOOHHH thank you for asking!!! This gives me the perfect excuse 2 talk abt some of my favs ty hehe <3 The genres, years, countries, etc. might be wildly different and there’s no particular order to what I’m gonna list but here we go:

1. The Spook Who Sat by the Door

Ivan Dixon; action/political drama; America; 1973

EVERYONE needs to watch this honestly… it’s probably my favorite film I’ve seen this year. The movie’s about the first Black man, Dan Freeman, to be trained by the CIA, who then quits and takes the techniques he’s learned to create a team of Black youths to fight for freedom and against racism. Even though it’s a fictional plot, the real FBI pulled it from theaters for being too radical, and it has indeed been described as “the only true Black radical movie ever made.” I seriously can’t recommend it enough

2. Medicine for Melancholy

Barry Jenkins; romance/drama; America; 2008

If you’re familiar with Moonlight, you already know this filmmaker. Medicine for Melancholy is Barry Jenkins’ first film, about the romance between Jo and Micah after a one night stand that takes place in San Francisco. Some things I like about it are the ways the city and its racial issues so heavily influence the characters’ relationship so much so that it essentially becomes a character in itself. Since this is Jenkins’ first film, the budget was smaller ($15k) and it has a different feel from his newer movies which I personally really liked

3. They Cloned Tyrone

Juel Taylor; sci-fi/mystery; America; 2023

This movie was released on barbenheimer day and was WAY BETTER THAN BOTH OF THEM!!!! When Fontaine, a drug dealer played by John Boyega, seemingly gets shot and killed, Slick, a pimp, is shocked to see him walking around the next day as if nothing happened. Together, Slick, Fontaine, and Yo-Yo, a sex worker, work to uncover what actually happened and find that it’s much bigger than they could’ve imagined. This is a FANTASTIC sci-fi film with some fantastic writing (a lot of great one-liners lmao) and all the actors do amazingly. Also, the title goes hard!

4. Bad Genius

Baz Nattuwat; thriller; Thailand; 2017

I literally watched this last night (happy birthday Nonkul!) lol. In this movie the character Lynn gets paid to work with her friends to help other high school students cheat on tests. When I tell you this had me SWEATING from stress. It was very entertaining, I really liked the way it was shot and how it consistently kept the tension up

5. Do the Right Thing

Spike Lee; drama/comedy; America; 1989

Taking place on an unbearably hot summer day, racial tensions rise between the Black civilians and the Italian owners of a pizzeria in Brooklyn. This is a v famous movie, directed by Spike Lee, and honestly many of the themes still ring true today

6. Sorry to Bother You

Boots Riley; sci-fi/comedy; America; 2018

Set in the Oakland, Cassius Green becomes a telemarketer and uses a “white voice” to do better at his job. But when his coworkers form a union, he decides to take a promotion instead, leading to unexpected consequences. I don’t want to spoil anything, and this is another famous movie that many people have probably already seen and have probably been spoiled BUT. there is a crazy twist. I really enjoyed the messages and craziness this movie had to offer

7. Marry My Dead Body

Cheng Wei Hao; comedy/mystery; Taiwan; 2022

I saw this with my friend on my birthday and honestly it could not have been a better way to watch it. A homophobic cop accidentally gets into an arranged marriage with a dead gay ghost. Is that not one of the best plot descriptions u have ever heard. It’s horror, it’s comedy, it’s gay, it’s a romance (TO ME! And like everyone else who watched it)… WHAT MORE COULD U WANT!! It gave me a similar feeling as Secrets in the Hot Spring & Pee Mak, two movies that somehow seem to cover So Many Genres & that I love sooo much (the former is my fav movie ever). I literally laughed so hard I almost peed myself at times <3

Other than that some other movies I watched & enjoyed this year are: Love Lies Bleeding (2024), Claudine (1974), Eve’s Bayou (1997), and Bottoms (2023). I don’t wanna make this too long so I’ll stop it here but I hope you enjoy these films too if you decide to watch any!!

it's just so insane. he looks so good. it looks good. it looks interesting. it is going to get drop kicked directly into the dumpster because they've elected to keep the problem that's had it on a bds boycott list for almost a year. when this movie does badly they're going to blame mackie and sam and not the the problem that's had it on a bds boycott list for almost a year. i'm pacing

[horror-enthusiast-xemi]

(Edit: i just remembered the ending, shh abt me not knwoing his real name lmao) It's like 2 something am rn and I am quite eepy BUT, I had the slightest motivation soo.. Caz art!^^

I don't think I'm the first but still, my motivation ran out halfway through unfortunately lmao- gonna draw more of these characters in the morning cuz artfight is gonna beat my ass in a day or so

[greasydumbfuck]

watched the 2004 punisher movie yesterday with pixie and honestly i had fun 👍 some stuff was good some stuff was eh some completely irrelevant stuff made me mildly annoyed. but most of all it was funny and they had frank hang around with his tits out for multiple scenes so i mean how could i not have a great time tbh

[stuckasmain]

Ok so does this summary drive anyone else insane?

As it was there when I first watched the movie and gave me a completely different impression on what the movie would be about.

Because it’s a very significant plot point that Frank and Dave don’t know the true meaning of the mission. Even then, yes it’s partly about ancient aliens but absolutely no one is aware of the connection it has to the origins of humanity.

Like when I first read this I thought it’d almost be like a ? I don’t want to say time travel thing but a spaceman touches the monolith-> sees the monkeys. Like I saw the HUMAN SKELETON in the desert scene and thought someone was going to get trapped in the ancient past or something.

watching the jenny nicholson video about the star wars hotel and based on this testimony you could not design a more hellish experience for me if u tried I think. at no fault of the star wars ip. just the entire design and functionality of the hotel itself.... I feel physically nauseous from the second hand anxiety this video is giving me and I'm not kidding LOL

[nackels]

If you watched the Knuckles series ( by the gods you should have pirated) and enjoyed it:

Watch Out!

They were luring you in with the cute cartoon character you love, to use him as an accessory, a prop to another's story, and a very distasteful one. It's not just that the writing lacked Knuckles centric plot, but that it was done so a white Israeli cop with a sister in the FBI (plus racisms therein) who probably also fits an antisemitic stereotype ("cowardly, weak, a loser") would get mild character development, done by a company that supports Israel among other awful things.

People have the right to be mad their fave characters that typically represent an oppressed group are being used as a prop to the oppressive figures. Don't come at me like this is all innocent.- the US police train the IDF. What purpose would Wade serve?

Here's a counter you can do: Get familiar with the boycott list and why they're there. You can download the No Thanks app or visit the BDNaash website.

Don't let them make you forget, don't let them make you comfortable with this.

i know absolutely no one will care at all about this but i remember really liking the Matched Trilogy when i read them in middle school, but that was literally 11 years ago and i was like 11 and so i recently decided to reread them and found that nope 11 yr old me had solid taste in books. are they the best thing i’ve ever read, even then? absolutely not. i also read the hunger games around that time. do they definitely feel like they were written in the early 2010s? absolutely. but overall the characters and relationships aren’t atrocious. and the world building is pretty solid, though i still have several questions. like wtf happens in terms of the matching for lgbtq+ people? i’m assuming there is BIPOC running around somewhere but i’m pretty sure there isn’t a named character in the books. so is racism still a thing? or neurodivergent people? most of this does come from me now being 22 and having developed better critical thinking skills and a love for overanalyzing books. and i can give her some grace as she is a white (and as far as i know) straight woman writing at in the early 2010s and i’m pretty sure those things literally never occurred to her (though they should have).

but also quite honestly i’m just glad that the pseudo love triangle isn’t made up of one guy who’s perfect and one guy who is clearly an asshole or worse two guys that are both varying degrees of asshole. like ky and xander are both pretty solid choices all things considered.

i wasn’t really involved with fandom culture back then, so i was really surprised to find how many people hate/dislike these books. the books are by no means perfect but christ they’re not that bad! I saw one person wish ally was dead for writing them, like jesus christ! but her name being pronounced “CASH-uh” instead of “CASS-ee-UH” will never not bother me. like ally, baby, how the fuck did you expect anyone to figure that out, let alone MIDDLE SCHOOLERS. i legitimately remember asking my 6th grade english teacher how to pronounce her name and she had no idea.😂

also how is there like zero fandom for these books. the series came out in the early 2010s when dystopian ya series with an obviously skewed love triangle was all the rage! i mean fuck the divergent series has more of a fandom and that series is written way worse.

[sonknuxadow]

potential sonic 3 spoilers incoming if anyone cares. anyway . apparently there was an official survey about the knuckles show/scu in general and one of the questions was about what name you would use for an eggman/shadow/gerald teamup. which is a weirdly specific question. and also one of the name options was team dark …….. ?? even though rouge isnt mentioned in the question and theres no sign of her being in the next movie in general ? i was willing to accept amy being introduced a little after knuckles and tails but between there still being no sign of her being in the next movie and now this if they actually have gerald time travel or something and have him be the third member of the dark story trio instead of rouge then i will be fully convinced that theyre going out of their way to exclude as many already existing girl characters as possible. like i get cgi is expensive which could be part of the reason rouge might not have made the cut. but damn . assuming this is real anyway it could just be another fake leak but idk

if anyone was wondering, i’m currently reading published RPF about F. Scott Fitzgerald for *checks notes* my job, so that’s how my life is going.

sorry not sorry but its twisted that people take Christian media and try to twist it around to fit and affirm their gender ideology

TSC - The Sterek Conspiracy

guys, i just watched the teen wolf movie, and i’m here to tell you: i’ve figured it out

this was NOT the real teen wolf movie.

it just doesn’t make sense. there are too many plot holes, the whole thing seems rushed and confusing, and there’s nothing in it that fans actually wanted. so why would they make this?

because the secret good real teen wolf movie is yet to be released.

everything was a deliberate misdirect. in a few weeks, they’ll surprise us with the REAL movie and pull off the greatest plot twist ever. dylan o’brien is gonna be in it, and sterek will become canon.

proof:

the whole “plot” is about the nogitsune, but without any of the characteristics that used to make him a great villain. it’s obviously just a nod to stiles.

it’s all about characters coming back... everyone is coming back to beacon hills, jackson from england, allison from the dead... you know who else is coming back? stiles!

we barely get to see the characters bonding even though everyone knows that’s the heart of teen wolf! am i to believe they’d make a movie about allison coming back and not even have her talk to lydia? come on, i’m not an idiot

everything is really really low quality, the writing, the acting, the editing, the special effects, the sound design, the fights.... almost as if it was put together with no effort or care BECAUSE IT’S NOT THE REAL END PRODUCT.

actors saying they didn’t have a script for this - because the script was for the real movie, duh!

there were THREE times where they made it seem like derek was about to die. if they wanted a real emotional scene at the end why would they add not one but SEVERAL fake outs? that would just be very bad writing so it HAD to be on purpose. it’s just another fake out!

derek’s son being a carbon copy of stiles? obsessed with his jeep? derek having complicated feelings about said jeep? no mention of a mother? the sheriff as his mentor? come on... there’s no way they’re actually doing something where the only logical conclusion is sterek mpreg. they’re obviously teasing us, and seeding the idea of stiles and derek’s connection to casual viewers. this cannot possibly be a real movie!

speaking of the jeep. it obviously represents stiles, so that speech at the end about the jeep never breaking down, always coming back? is about stiles, not derek

eli is literally an anagram of LIE. wake up, sheeple

(i can’t even joke about arden coming back she deserves so much better)
