Just got around to watching it for the first time tonight. We had so many people tell us we'd love it and need to watch it, so it was high on our list. Great cast, and it won so many awards.

I didn't hate it, but I was left scratching my head over all the hype. I like odd movies and books, so it's not that I couldn't handle the weirdness. It seemed like in the same vein as Scott Pilgrim, and if you told me it wasn't a bit box office but got a cult following, I'd totally believe that.

My wife felt exactly the same way. Maybe it's just one of those cases where there was too much hype for us, but I felt kind of let down.

No, I absolutely detested it. It was the equivalent of that old trend where girls would do stupid stuff and scream “I’M SO RANDOM.” The weirdness had no purpose. They were just pulling out stuff for shock value.

that's the only part I didn't like about the movie, the repeat hot dog fingers and butt plugs and such felt more like a skit from robot chicken than the "what the heck is even going on" kind of weirdness I was hoping for

My BFF didn't either and it baffles me.

Am I strange for never having ever heard of it until just a few days ago?

Yes! We don't have a cable, just some streaming services, but it seemed like the only movie being talked about for a while.

Edit: and it won Best Picture!

Not sure I can watch hot dog finger scenes again... So once and done for me.

Not strange at all. I feel like we are always getting pushed to liking things that are overhyped. The movie did trigger my emotions so for me it was amazing; that's the beauty of films what you might like I won't and it's ok.

What movie from last year did you think deserved to be "best picture"?
