Chris Stuckmann reviews The Lighthouse, starring Robert Pattinson, Willem Dafoe, Valeriia Karaman. Directed by Robert Eggers.
I was worried about spoilers before watching this, but I’m glad you didn’t spill the beans.
Good pun ;-)
Ayyyy
What? What?
Ahhh. I see what you did there
“Why’d ya spill yer beans”
"Robert Pattison? You mean the guy from The Lighthouse?" This is what he deserves now. Not Twilight. He has catapulted himself into one of my favorite actors and am very excited to see what he does from here.
Definitely. I saw The Rover at a festival when it came out and that was it for me. Brilliant actor.
Apparently it's Batman 🤦♀️
Batman is next
Watch Good Time, dude is a great actor, I think we're in for a treat with the next Batman.
I’m happy to hear he’s a good actor since he’s going to be Batman lol
Holy Shit Robert Eggers you did it.
Chris gave a movie an A+... in 2019.
Robert eggers is a strong talent who makes films in HIS vision, not the studios or general audience expectations - and I love it
Eggers is a force to be reckoned with. He is absolutely blowing it out of the water
And a 10/10 from YMS. Just imagine if Jeremy gives this an Awesometacular.
Redjfulfer eggers is a genius. Although I’m surprised Chris didn’t give the witch an a+ as well.
Redjfulfer holy shit dude that’s me
Why this movie is worth an Oscar:
Thomas Wake: Yer fond of me lobster aint' ye? I seen it - yer fond of me lobster! Say it! Say it. Say it!
Ephraim Winslow: I don't have to say nothin'.
Thomas Wake: Damn ye! Let Neptune strike ye dead Winslow! HAAARK!
Thomas Wake: Hark Triton, hark! Bellow, bid our father the Sea King rise from the depths full foul in his fury! Black waves teeming with salt foam to smother this young mouth with pungent slime, to choke ye, engorging your organs til' ye turn blue and bloated with bilge and brine and can scream no more - only when he, crowned in cockle shells with slitherin' tentacle tail and steaming beard take up his fell be-finned arm, his coral-tine trident screeches banshee-like in the tempest and plunges right through yer gullet, bursting ye - a bulging bladder no more, but a blasted bloody film now and nothing for the harpies and the souls of dead sailors to peck and claw and feed upon only to be lapped up and swallowed by the infinite waters of the Dread Emperor himself - forgotten to any man, to any time, forgotten to any god or devil, forgotten even to the sea, for any stuff for part of Winslow, even any scantling of your soul is Winslow no more, but is now itself the sea!
Ephraim Winslow: Alright, have it your way. I like your cookin'.

Robert Pattinson and Adam Driver need to work together in a movie helmed by a director who knows his/her stuff. These guys are some of the best young actors working today.
Miguel Pabello Robert Pattinson and Adam Driver written by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach directed by Noah Baumbach.
Honestly Adam Driver isn't that great of an actor. You can see his shortcomings and somewhat stiffness in Martin Scorsese's Silence. There, Andrew Garfield completely outshines Driver in every scene they're together. You can see the natural talent and charisma that Garfield brings into every scene as opposed to Driver's dullness.
Work with denis villenueve
@@AL-SH you're wrong
@@AL-SHNope. Do watch Marriage Story. Adam Driver is magnificent in it. Really talented actor.

You know, Chris Stuckmann grew up farting in a lighthouse.
@@skylergulley3949 "20 years in a lighthouse Alfred, we know what promises are worth. How many good guys are left? How many stayed that way?"
He must have had quite an eventful childhood with all the places that he grew up in.
you know Im something of an overused joke myself
2 things to keep in mind to stay alive:
Don’t kill John Wick’s dog
Don’t insult Willem Defoe’s cooking
Threeli Don’t kill sea birds
After seeing Togo, I wouldn't want to kill Wilem Defoe's dog either
Don't call Winslow a Dog
Threeli Don't fuck a fish
Reminds me that DaFoe was in John Wick
Chris Stuckmann: *gives The Lighthouse an A+*
My Dad: *opens door* “Why are you screaming so loud!?”
I cried dude, i really did
That was totally me!
I was Hyped waiting for the A+ from like minute the 30 seconds mark.
@SquidBag It's a meme format, it's not that serious. I admit it gets annoying time to time, but it's a popular way to tell jokes now.
@SquidBag Mostly because it's a popular meme format, but I have to admit it is quite versatile and effective when used properly. In OP's comment, they never state their own personal feelings or reaction to Stuckmann's video -- rather, it is implied through context clues. This makes it a much more interesting and amusing read than if they'd simply stated their excitement as a matter of fact.
Another good use of the format is when you start off with the first speaker saying nothing at all, or even have that first speaker be as vague as "The Internet" or "Everyone." The speaker that follows, no matter what they say, is made to appear unjustified in their assertion, or irrationally provoked, due to the lack of any context. It's sort of a "No one asked" situation.
Then there's the classic set-up where somebody says or does a thing, followed by the second speaker saying "Hold my beer." This indicates they did something more extreme than the first speaker. Whether or not that thing is good or bad, is left up to the context of the situation.
I hope you enjoyed tonight's episode of _Memes and Themes._ Please join us next week, when we'll be taking a deep dive into the "Thanos Snap," and don't miss our sobering docu-drama "Keyboard Cat: The Day the Music Died."
WE FINALLY GOT AN A+!

I don't think his scream was of joy, but terror. Still a funny post though.
Oh my god Chris Stuckman gives a movie of 2019 an A+?
I HAVE to see it.
@Bryan birdchest Callen ya I agree, its not better than the joker, and I personally found it pretty boring.
@Bryan birdchest Callen it's an original work with outstanding acting and ambiguous throughout. Much better then joker, and I loved that film too.
It’s a movie that you need to see multiple times. The most important thing you need to do when watching this movie is listen closely to everything they said
@@KevinContreras2013 I can't wait to see it again
Spoilers
You hear Winslows accent changing constantly throughout the film. It's not on accident, it shows how unreliable he is from the beginning. Too much to hide. He even admits in the beginning of the film that he doesn't like talking much. "Why'd ya spill ya beans?"
Bryan birdchest Callen
Yeah I doubt it’s better than Joker, that movie deserves at the very least an A

@@renly2429 Parasite!!!!
“This movie has fart jokes.... Imma give it an A+”
Francois Roewer-Despres I just don’t get Chris sometimes. This movie has fart jokes, it gets an A+. The Secret Life of Pets gets not only fart jokes, but also a rabbit pooping in full view of children, and he gives it a, “...this is a dumb Toy Story rip-off”. Only one explanation... he’s becoming woke and recognizing that fart jokes and the kids’ movies that shamelessly use them have rights, too.
@@thefirstbourne149 underrated comment😂😂
He gave Swiss Army Man an A so I guess that's all it takes for Chris to give a great score.
Gxldboy J By the way, I have no problem with Chris Stuckmann being woke, and I support Social Justice wherever it should be.
Blazing Saddles has fart jokes and that's an A+ in my book. Context is key.
This will probably be number 1 on his best movies of 2019 list
What, you don't think there will be another A+?
Maybe parasite, the irishman or marriage story can be number 1
@@richardlugali2690 Yeah, Parasite is really good
He hasn't seen Parasite yet. I'm waiting for that review.
@@richardlugali2690 The Irishman is incredible; easily an A+ film for me.
I’ll never forget the “Don’t leave me!” line and the crazy gaze with it.
Chris when Parasite? That seems like another A+ movie as well.
Yes!
@jonathan wakefield I still haven't seen it. But just based on the incredible reception it's getting from everyone A+ seems possible.
Oskari It’s an A+ too, I’ve seen it twice already
I think he haven't seen it cause he lives in Ohio and Parasite is currently screening on NY and LA only.
I got an ad for Parasite before this video.
Robert Pattinson is slowly becoming one of my favorite actors.
Same, I can't wait to see how tackles Batman, alot of people don't like his casting for it but I think he will do well.

Not Jordan Peele, he’s doing mainstream trends about hating White people.
Ilqr D. Right
Mike Flannigan?! How could you forget him!?
This I will see. These are the kind of movies we seriously need to support.
Yup. After End Game I'm officially done with MCU movies, I'll catch the rest at redbox. I want to see real creative features now like that movie about Brooklyn Edward Norton is in. It really shows his range as an actor
you need to watch Van Gogh. willem does a great job, and its very arthouse/independant. made by ppl who appreciate and value good filmmaking rather than millions of dollars. i rented if from redbox a while back and was struck by how good it was.
A24 movies are in a category of their own, they're so good and, like this one, rarely fall in the mainstream type of movie

I am clearly not a writer, but I wanted to share my thoughts on The Lighthouse. And all opinions are welcome to help me further understand this crazy movie Holy… shit. Okay so I watched the Lighthouse and I haven’t been too fond of anyones interpretation so far, so I felt like I might as well share mine. I literally hate reading and writing, but this movie was so deep I couldn’t help but speak on it.
What does it all mean?
Simply put, Robert Pattinsons character is in purgatory. He murdered the real Winslow, and was sent to live in purgatory for as long as he could last. The island is his final stop before eternal hell. And the island is set up with conditions that are designed specifically for him to lead to his inevitable demise. He is murderer, and is sentenced endure the life of a grunt, doing lighthouse chores while being patronized by an old man, until he can handle it no more and murder the old man, touch the light, and advance on to eternity of being eaten alive.
Its brilliantly fucked up if you think about it. Everything he is surrounded by is supposed to push him to his unraveling, theres nothing he can do about it, its only a matter of how long he can last. The fact that the movie is in black and white reaffirms this even more. Because he is dead, in hell, no color left in his life, no life. Just Dull grey and colorless and hopeless.
So I think that his purgatory was set up for him to fail, and its just a matter of how long he can withstand the torture. He was told not to kill a seagull or itd be bad luck. Then the seagull antagonized him constantly. Mermaids are bad luck, yet his only form of a female fantasy he has to cling on to Is a mermaid. Also, he clearly had some sexual issues, and what else would be a perfect torture, other than having a beautiful woman top half, but a disgusting fishy scaly bottom. it was suggested that the previous sailor left it behind, but ive gotta say It seems like a specifically designed torture method. Lastly his biggest temptation is the Lighthouse its self. He has to do all of the grunt work every day and isn’t allowed up to the light, while watching Wake, worship it every night naked. And when he finally does touch it, he experiences every emotion at its highest, simultaneously, then screams with pain pleasure confusion clarity and madness, and then is sent to his hell of being eaten alive for eternity. He lays in a dried up ocean, no eyes, stomach open, being eaten, and is clearly alive still. I think they made this shot to show he is finally in literal hell. Naked, no need for clothes, unable to die, because he is already dead, being eaten by the “souls of sailors” and you see a sky full of seagulls “souls” up above.
My interpretation of whats on the surface
On the surface/My interpretation
Winslow is at the light house voluntarily for work to earn a wage.
Perfect set up for a prison designed for him to fail. He believes he is there to earn money, so It will keep him motivated to do chores. He has to follow Wakes orders because Wakes controls if he gets paid for his work. It doesn’t matter however because this is purgatory and you can take solace in working here for eternity with no end opposed to being eaten alive by sailor souls for eternity.
Wake is a mad man and curses Winslow for insulting his cooking
Wake is a mastermind, sea god, who is just torturing Winslow. He lets him know his fate to further increase his gloominess on this isolated island. Wake is able to handle the light on a nightly basis, he is powerful, not just a crazy old man.
Winslows snapping point.
I believe when Winslow finally saw Wakes books and records he was keeping on him, he finally realized he was in purgatory and just decided to accept his fate of damnation. He read the book and immediately punches a clock. I think its to say he realizes theres no such thing as time where hes at and that fucking clock on the wall is just there to fool him. He sees that his reviews are all terrible. He was forced to drink and written up for drinking. He slaves day in and day out and takes insults assuming it means he is completing his job. But once he sees it has all been for nothing this far it clicks to him that this is his own personal hell. He comes from the trees and the forests, so what better place than be surrounded by water. He calls out Wake for being a sailor parody. Which is exactly right, Wake is just playing the part of everything Winslow would hate about a person. Winslow realizes this has no end, fully aware of the other option because Wake gave him a clear description of his damnation when he insulted his cooking. So he buries Wake, and goes to touch the light to get the ultimate reward for his eternal horrid destiny.
I think this is what happened because Eggers style. The witches ending only showed her smiling and floating to the sky, but her ending is not happy at all. She got a delicious reward for the eternal damnation of her soul. Just like Winslow, who was sent to this purgatory for murdering the real Winslow.
Specific torture
The island its self
Winslow said himself he wanted to settle down up north. With the trees and green lands. So an endless raging sea on a desolate rock is pretty much the exact opposite.
Howard himself
A farting insulting, patronizing smelly old man. Embodying everything Winslow hates deep down. He literally cant stand him, yet he is stuck there with him in claustrophobic living quarters. Being constantly berated and labored.
The mermaid sculpture
Winslow definitely had some sexual issues. So they planted a mermaid toy to be his only form of female fantasy. He has a nasty old man, and a mermaid. So he masturbates to it, but his sexual fantasy is of having sex with a disgusting fishy mermaid bottom. She has a beautiful face but only has a terrifying grimace and screech. His best form of comfort is still a conflicting mental mess. He even breaks down crying while masturbating. Although he did see his murder victims face too so that could have something to do with it.
The seagull
Being constantly warned not to kill a seabird or it will bring bad luck. The seagull antagonized him constantly through out the movie. That is pure psychological torture. It stayed within hands reach, while pecking at him and squawking at him every day while he has to do lighthouse chores. The bird was literally there for him to kill and antagonizing him to kill it, but if he kills it he will be damned.
The light
Just like the seagull, he will be damned if he touches the light. The light is like the ultimate temptation accompanied by the ultimate damnation.
Once again this island is just his alternative option to hell. He can remain a man, that gets to walk and talk, eat and drink, speak, think, fantasize, essentially live. However, this life, will have no clear pleasure. You can eat but it will be shitty, you can drink but it will be alcohol or sludge water, you can jerk off but it will be to a screeching fish woman. You can have a companion, but you will loathe him. You can live, but you will work tirelessy in harsh wet conditions. But if you kill a seagull it will get a lot worse here. And if you touch the light, you will be eaten alive in a dried up ocean for eternity. Once Winslow reads Howards book, he figures out his situation, and chooses the light.
Holy crap that's the best interpretation I've read of the film so far, along with its references with Greek mythology. Excellent man I'm gonna see again hoping to gain more appreciation from it.
Your interpretation matches mine a lot of ways, but with some key differences. I think he really IS lying there dying at the end, though his manner of punishment does indeed evoke the Greeks' Prometheus. Thomas's crime in life was to covet the lives of others. Feeling chained by his own sordid past, he killed a man and stole his identity. At some point after, I believe he DOES set off to become a lighthouse keeper, but maybe gets shipwrecked and eventually dies. The events surrounding the lighthouse are a fever dream produced in Thomas' last moments, as racked with guilt he contemplates his past.
Like you elaborated, all the events of the film are symbolic. I believe, however, that Wake for one represents Thomas' father. Thomas even compares them outright, believing both worked him like a mule and never gave him his due. When Thomas discovers the journal, I equate this to a manifestation of the inequity he felt in real life, which led him to steal the life of Winslow. Continuing the analogy, my interpretation is therefore that the "Light" represents the brilliance and shine of the "good life," and just as in real life, in Thomas' purgatory he kills another to take what is not rightfully his. I believe Thomas' displays of lust in the film aren't necessarily sexual, but a representation of his covetousness. For example, when he envisions the mermaid for the first time, he initially believes her to be a dead woman. Does he help her? No. He brushes aside the seaweed and begins to fondle her. To his horror, she awakes and begins to scream in madness. This parallels two key points of the narrative: one, Thomas' ecstasy and madness at finally seeing the stolen Light, and most importantly, two, Thomas in real life not helping Winslow, but letting him die and taking his life for his own. The eventual madness is symbolic of the pervading guilt.
I agree with you, but I believe that even if the island was made to antagonize him, it was more of a challenge rather than his fate. Maybe if he could’ve resisted temptation till when the boat came in he would have been saved, it is purgatory, where heaven can still be achieved. But once caved in, he failed and was set on a path down to his fate.
This was really interesting and thought out, I like it. Good interpretation!
@@TakeOffYourBoots I wrote this interpretation hoping a more educated person could come and give me the legit explaination i needed! this is that explaination! thank you for this, and thank you for reading my extremely long comment and giving a thoughtful response. What do you think was in the light? and do you think Dafoes character has any ties to any actual diety?

I have at least 5 different interpretations of this myself. The Greek mythology interpretation is pretty blatant but I think it's more layered than that. Robert Pattinson's performance was absolutely amazing!

Guess not. Oh well.
The Lighthouse was Number 1, but Parasite was Number 3.
Nice prediction!
For those wondering about the mythology: Immediately after I finished watching this movie I thought of the Greek Myth of Prometheus. Here is the overall basic summary of the myth (if you haven't seen the movie this might be spoiler territory). Essentially, Zeus takes away fire (light) from humans as punishment for disobeying him. Prometheus, a Titan, decides to steal this fire from Zeus and return it to the humans. Humans use this light for both cooking and creating weapons. As punishment, Zeus chains Prometheus to a rock and has a bird come and tear out his liver each day. For those who have seen the movie these are some striking parallels: the fire IS the lighthouse and the ending of the movie is precisely what becomes of Prometheus. These are my thoughts!
Alex Lawrence so are you saying that William is Prometheus?
@@jeremiahjohnsen1711 In my opinion, I view Winslow as Prometheus and Wake as Zeus. Wake is forbidding Winslow from going to the top of the lighthouse, to which Winslow disobeys and is ultimately punished. My view of it is that the Light represents some kind of knowledge or ability that Wake fears has the potential for negative uses, hence not wanting Winslow to see it. Again thats just all how I read the film
Alex Lawrence nice I haven’t seen it yet but I’ve been wanting to
@@jeremiahjohnsen1711 Go check it out! Its worth seeing just for the discussion :)
Alex Lawrence it’s on my list of shit I need to see along with the color out of space haha
Robert Eggers is originally from the town next to where I grew up, so seeing his influences through coastal new england and new england colonial history gives his movies so much more depth. Seeing the houses from the 17th and 18th centuries that helped him to come up with these settings and characters is really cool, and I feel extremely connected to this movie in particular. It's like a memory from when you're a little kid and maybe sometimes you dream about it, but it mainly stays in your subconscious. It hits that deep for me.
Now I have more confidence in Robert Pattingson’s Batman.
Guess who's back
Back again
A+ is back
Tell a friend
The Golden Globes ignored this masterpiece. Hopefully the Oscars don't do the same.
SPOILER: They probably will.
Clough Says risky films like this exist in an alternate universe to the academy.
@@Dancerama6, it's so deserving.
They did :(
@@aniruddhagowda8072, I saw. Go Joaquin. Go Brad Pitt. Screw the Academy.
Sadly dey did
I feel this is one of those that could have gone *drastically* either way.
“We all go a little mad sometimes.”
Finally A+
I Will see this movie soon
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Heavenly choir of Angel's on high.
The A+ rating returns nearly brings a tear to the eye.
Pattinson, a fine actor in making.
nah he's just a frilly twinkly vampire :P
He really jumpstarted his acting career with just the snap of his fingers, after years of torture from Twilight
@@TheBlueGoldenHawk nice bait
@Alexander Completely agree hes been killing it for a long time
U think he will be a great batman? If so then phoenix and him could show what DC is all about
Egger is slowly becoming the Kubrick of our time
Imo he’s the best director working today!
OMG the streaks over an A+ finally.
FINALLY!!! We’ve done it bois!
Chris Stuckmann has given the lighthouse an A+!
how did "we" do anything? "we" had nothing to do with the making of this film, nor Chris's review.
@@joshmciver4847 It's just a joke with the Chris Stuckmann fanbase
Josh McIver It’s a joke m8...
@@fullmetal1666 I've been watching since his original channel and still say "we" didn't do anything. kinda like when Reddit says they did something. social media commenters think too highly of themselves.
@@joshmciver4847 You seem to be an incredibly fun person.
The Lighthouse to Joker: I will finish. What you started.
Hell yeah!
Fucketh yea
I cheered when he gave it an A+. It seems like a very intriguing film.
I never skipped the ads for this movie because it was so intriguing
Both The Lighthouse and The Joker have made October 2019 the month where the two best films of the year were released.
The Lighthouse and Parasite* Joker comes close
@@wisco9er536 I can't find a theater that will show Parasite.. but it's good though? Reviews have been great and I'll prob check it out once it's available digital.
@@sython135 I'd say if you liked Get Out, then you'll like Parasite. I enjoyed Parasite more, and so did many others.
@Andrew Ryan really? Joker had a lot of unoriginal/"inspired" ideas. The acting was superb, but it was no where better than Parasite's plot and metaphors.
@Andrew Ryan Parasite is way more original than joker and it's so unique, not saying joker is bad but joker is not a masterpiece like people say
LORD STUCK HAS BLESSED US WITH A+, REJOICE!
Yes!!!!!!!
Chris finally gave a new movie an A+!
Now we will have to wait until 2050 for another A+
More like 2049
How about 2048?
Chris Stuckmann: Im gonna give this movie an A+
Me: What?
William Dafoe: What!?
Robert Pattinson: What?
Me: What?!?
Dennis Jr Princess Leia: What ?!?!!
what?
What?
What?
Stone cold Steve Austin: What!?
I was upset that this movie didn’t get that many Oscar nominations. Both Pattinson and Dafoe give great performances and both deserved Oscar nominations, especially Pattinson who I think gave one of the best performances of the year.
I literally felt that he was going to give A+
I'm writing this while watching the review. A+ FINALLY???
Edit:- FINALLLLLLYYYYYYY AN A+
ok
Willem Dafoe creeped me out in this role in a way that I never experienced before. He seemed otherworldly at times.
Ah I remember when I used to work in a lighthouse back in the 1900s , back when the last A+ was given by Chris before this one....
Hot take. Wake is Winslow.
After the painting accident, i think the real Winslow died. I mean, the day after Winslow didnt have a scratch on him. I think Wake left Winslow for dead (getting picked at by seagulls in the end) and created another Winslow in his mind. After the incident Winslow started drinking. He started to rebel more, ultimately became more like Wake every day. Maybe the murder of Winslows boss, inferred to the man Wake had killed and he could finally admit it to himself. You find Winslow sleeping in Wakes bunk. And ofcourse, Winslow starts calling himself Thomas. In the end, Winslow killing Wake, was just Wake killing the last bit of his sanity.
Just some food for thought.
Brilliant!
@@mattlegge8538 Thanks!
I guess he fucking liked it.
This movie has that feeling where you could totally imagine it being a play.
I don’t know which makes me more happy, the fact that he gave an A+ or the fact that it was The Lighthouse that earned it
“Parasite” also hits many of the notes you mentioned in this movie so I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it!
I work overnight at a water reservoir in Massachusetts. It's surrounded by woods and the roads are about half a mile from it. There's no one around for miles and it can get pretty lonely as its just me working. I watched this movie during one of my shifts. I did my rounds and went inside a small wooden cabin that I use for a meal brake or just to hang out. I downloaded this movie on to my tablet and watched it at 1am in the cabin while it was raining pretty hard outside with thunder. I got so into this movie that I really felt like I was in there with Dafoe and Pattinson. The Lighthouse is truly a masterpiece.
Nah chief that’s a formula for a panic attack
@@jakem8504 haha you got that right.
YOU LIKED MY LOBSTER THOUGH, DIDN'T YE?!?!
Aye sir.
Someone plz quote the tirade in its entirety!
@@TakeOffYourBoots One of the most impressive tirades I've ever seen in a movie haha
What?
One of the best films I’ve seen this decade.
*”You know, I’m something of a madman myself.”*
Madness, Chilling, Claustrophobia, Irritation, Redemption, Monotonous, Desperation.
"Looong have I waited. Your coming together will be your un.....
Wait what?? Stuckman gave an A+???" Palpy
I'm not the smartest man in the world ... This movie didn't get through my brain at all. It was reflected
Anyone who loves refreshing movies, watch, The Art of Self Defence!
I hadn't heard of this movie, so thank you. But why here and what's great about it?
@@TheBlueGoldenHawk I just thought I'd suggest it, because it's an Indie film that I got to see recently and absolutely loved!! It's so off-beat... It's actually one of my favourite films of 2019. Imagine this, if Wes Anderson made a Dark comedy in the style of William Friedkin movies..... Strange, but please check it out. 😊
Art of Self Defense was without a doubt one of my favorite movies of 2019. Jesse Eisenburg gave a masterful performance m
@@flovvers3 Agreed. But I feel, as great as Eisenberg was, Alessandro Nivola was the scene stealer.
Yes, a refreshing pitch black comedy!!
When was the last time Chris gave an A+?
.......Help me to recollect.
Fuck. Blade runner 2049 I think
Lady Bird 2017.11.19.
@@russzolti6825 oh yeah forgot that one
5 weeks? Two days?
So happy Chris gave this movie an a+
Clearly one of the best film I've ever seen
Idk why this guy is talking about a24 being above making fart jokes. Has he seen swiss army man? Lol
Wasn't even a fart joke. More like a human trait for Winslow to get annoyed at. It just happens to be funny, cuz farts... you know.
those weren't just farts, they were power moves!
Did you watch the video? He literally said a24 ISN'T above making fart jokes.. and he said that like 3 times
4 years late but had to stop by just to say you sound dumb as fuck lmao he said a24 WASNT above fart jokes and he gave swiss army man an A
Good to see Pattinson and Stewart doing amazingly well in their respective careers.
Taylor lautenr? Star of the legendary Sharkboy and Lavagirl? Don't forget him
"help me keep the light on"
😀 i see what you did there Chris...
An A+! I can't wait for this movie to be largely snubbed by the Oscars for some sappy barley above average crowd-pleaser.
or a very average Marvel film....
This shit isn't playing within a four hour radius of me. Damn ye!
Me either. What the fuck!
Khvalheim10 this movie won’t even come out in Greece where I live...
I think it’s slowly expanding, I’d say check again next week
I drove an hour to see it. I live in southern New Hampshire and the closest theater to me playing it was in the Boston area
I got this notification and stopped watching porn faster than I ever have.
*WORTH IT*
Id take an a+ rating > porn any day of the week
can we leave this comment in 2009 where it belongs thanks
Diedrich Films Yes.
Mc Guinea No.
@@soupfox Sorry your sense of humor is shit
I felt like there was a small message about alcoholism in this film too.
And masculinity
And addiction to masturbation and the struggle to resist it
@@RhinosaursRex this was in 1800's what do you expect about it being masculinity?
Your profile pic is a man drinking 2 beers.🤔
