At this point the studio is probably encouraging these spoiler articles. Holy hell.

 

Yeah, people really need to know what they're getting into, if they're going to watch this movie.

 

I can imagine many people angry, lol.

The McConaissance literally just the oscar and interstellar. lasted 2 years. he should considering himself lucky because actresses are NOT able to come back to a succesful level after a string of bombs and bad rom coms

Well no, it was much bigger than that, he got Interstellar role because Nolan saw an early screening of Mud made at the start of the McConnaissance (2011).

 

McConnaissance was that almost perfect streak of movies (that was overall raising in scope and quality)

I'd be really surprised if it's above D.

[redfirebird2008]

Man the critics really trashed this one. Can't believe Hathaway and McConaughey got involved in such a disastrous project. 

[filmlover]

I sent the link explaining the twist ending to a friend and now he's also dying to see this just for the shits and giggles. Probably gonna go on Sunday before the SAG Awards.

Let's not forget Hathaway's worst, and most hilarious performance....feigning surprise and cooing "it came true" when she won the Oscar after having won every single other award that year.

So she is the Taylor Swift of movies.

Or is Taylor Swift the Anne Hathaway of countrified pop/poppy country music?

[TombRaider]

i remember there was a lot of backlash for anne back then. everyone found her super annoying, and the short hair certainly didnt help. i never really cared for her as an actress tbh. the only movie of hers i loved was prada and that had more to do with meryl & emily blunt

It's D+.

When I think of the McConaissance, True Detective is the top of the list. It feels like a long time ago now. But for the few months during and straight after that show he was the coolest guy on the planet.



[Ipickthiswhiterose]

 

Sounds like a movie that takes a great big swing. I always respect that. 

 

I've never understood the Anne Hathaway hate, something really weird about the tone of it to me. 

 

Also, any conversation about Matthew McCanaughey needs to take a moment to appreciate the awesomeness of Frailty. One of the great underrated horrors of this century.

I just love how people try to pretend the writing of True Detective started to get ridiculous until Season 2.

Suuuuuuuure.

i'm convinced that this is what really won him the oscar. like when bryan cranston got nominated for trumbo. c'mon that was a nomination for breaking bad.

I wish TD2 had been more ridiculous. Instead it was just interminable.

I can't stand Anne and can't stand Meryl and yet every time Prada comes on cable, I watch it.  Certain movies are just really re-watchable, I guess..

Might end up being the case for Mahershala Ali this year too if he wins.

[RichWS]

Oh man, should I see this? It's a dead zone out there and I've seen all the good shit. Some fun trash with my girl Anne seems appealing.

 

I don't know the ending and I don't wanna know.
