i feel like it’s much harder when you finish a movie, and you hate it, and then find out it’s one of the most critically acclaimed movies of all time.

this was my experience watching taxi driver. to this day, i have not been able to find a single other person who disliked that movie as much as i did

I cannot stand 2001 A Space Odyssey

It's glacially paced, there's like 1 good scene with HAL and Dave and the rotating set is neat with him running around the edge. It's about 20 minutes of decent movie padded to an agonising two and a half hours of pretentious nonsense.

People go "oh, but it was groundbreaking at the time!" We'd had Star Trek for two years by that point. It really was not that groundbreaking.

I feel like you have to go in knowing it's extremely slow and methodical, it really gives room to breath and take in the sights and such. Idk it's a very interestingly shot movie and I wish more were like it, seems like people's attention spans aren't long enough though.

Also seeing it in a real theater makes a big difference

Seeing it in a real theatre while stoned makes a huuuuuge difference. "It's full of stars!!"
