"Oooh, it's a CHALLENGING MOVIE!!!" "Tarantino was right!"
I mean, if being a "clever contrarian" who's actually a destructive nihilist wasn't a mainstream thing now then maaayybbbbeeee you could get away with lighting 190 mil on fire, but too many of these and there won't be a film industry left.
Not a "CBM genre" or even a "WBD". I mean ANY film industry. I'm sure those theater owners you lionized during COVID really loved being contracted to keep this floating pile of debris for three weeks, two of which were dead. Continue to defend GARBAGE HUMAN Todd Phillips like he's Franz Kafka or something because he made an "edgy movie" most people hated. But know this: if you're gonna take 190 mil from a studio to make a mainstream film, it probably should be such for the sake of your career.
