How the fuck do you make a movie this bad? It felt like a student film with terrible sound mixing and everyone yelling over each other. The director clearly doesn't know anything about cinematography either with so many shaky close ups. I could have directed a better film myself. 48% is generous if anything

Forgot to mention the name of this film is Uncut Gems

>ah fuck I'm gonna coom
how did your dad react to this?

>>213441680 (OP)
This. This is how i know your a pleb.

AND I'LL FLY WITH YOUUUUUUUUU

I don't know why but this was the best part of the movie for me, just too funny

>>213441680 (OP)
I didn't find it stressful just stupid. Things just randomly happen with hardly any explanation like what the fuck was up with those inbred Michael Cera twins. Adam Sandler deserved a better "serious" movie

>>213441680 (OP)
the stressfulness of the film is what made it fun and different especially for Adam Sandler. If you were looking for one of his comedy's you took a wrong turn.

I liked seeing him actually ACT as someone different for once. Someone different than his usual goofy character.

>>213441680 (OP)
>24

This is how you know a movie is shit.

it's still decent but it's basically a much longer, significantly worse version of Good Time.

I want more not so distant past films, its cool seeing the early 2010s even if its not so different from the present

>>213441833
This was actually a pretty good way to sum it up

>>213441680 (OP)
Its an A24 film, it literally is a student film. No idea why Sandler decided to even decided to get involved, im sure just out of the kindness of his heart to help out unexperienced directors but its easily his worst movie

>>213441680 (OP)
Poor bait.

You don't know the first thing about films

the only likable character in the whole movie

>>213441782

Deep reflective movie about compulsion, addiction and selishness at the expense of those you care about around you

>yooo things like just randomly happen bro with hardly any explanation and stuff, frfr

>>213441680 (OP)
It received such bad ratings that the team of directors who made it had a falling out and haven't done anything since if that makes you feel any better

I hate jews and would happily kill every single one of them if given the chance but you gotta admit uncut gems was absolute cinema.

>>213442110
It was mid

>>213441680 (OP)
It's Sandlers best role

>>213441680 (OP)
It has 52 audience score and 90 critic score

>>213441680 (OP)
Only good Sandler movie is Pixels.

>>213442172
No one takes the critic score seriously, they are paid off

Had no idea this movie was so badly received. I thought it was very entertaining

>>213442294
You take the audience serious?

Stressed me out too, I had to pause it and pace around the room not even 10 minutes in

>>213442141
What didn't you like aboot it

You nailed it, it had way too much noise. Even with overlapping subtitles I couldn't follow all the voices

I turned the kikeslop off 10 minutes in when they killed off the returning actress (Julia Bowen)

Then they usher in his daughter in skin tight workout outfit?


jews are degenerate filth and they deserve what's coming to them

He did absolutely nothing wrong. In his office you can make out some of the books are from Nietzsche, he was simply living the ubermensch life and not bowing down to anyone but himself.
>b-but he was a gambler
Yeah because he loved living and the thrills of actually putting his life on the line to live how he wanted

>>213441833
This. Good Time is so much better.

How did the original bet get cancelled, like why would the guy listen to Arno and cancel it instead of Howard. Did Howard even get the money back or did Arno keep it

>>213441833
Heaven Knows What also has some great moments. Buddy Duress was hilarious

recently saw uncut gems, never knew of it even tho i like sandler
what a boring movie and ending pissed me off.

also how did those 2 guys expect to get out of that place (at the end) since they need someone to press a button to be let out? they trying to steal everything but they locked themselves in after killing 2 dudes.

>>213441680 (OP)
Did your faggot dad fuck your bunghole afterwards, fagboy?

>>213441680 (OP)
Wonder why audiences didn't like it, too jewish? Too many nogs?

Awful taste. Uncut Gems > Heaven Knows What > Good Time

>>213441833
i saw this opinion a lot but when i watched good time i was kinda underwhelmed

>>213443478
you would know all of this if you watched the movie

>>213443596
never trust a raging irishman to think logically, he was just acting on his emotions

I did watch it but didn't understand how someone else is allowed to just cancel a bet like that

But yeah, Adam Sandler fucking sucks donkey balls

/tv/ actually fell for this bait lol.

This is /tv/ in current year, I bet OP is a zoomzoom just by the fact they got “stressed out” watching a movie.

>>213441680 (OP)
lmfao good shitpost.

Uncut Gems was one of the last truly good movies before covid ruined the world.

>>213442068
Benny did that show The Curse.....which was terrible.
>>213442294
And you take user scores seriously? Where people only rate things a 1, or a 10... based on which "Franchise" the film belongs to

>>213442610
lol

Adam Sandler did it because he was cousins with the director

>>213441835
i wrote a movie that takes place over the course of 2012-2014. amazing how much i miss those times compared to the nightmare we are in now

>>213441680 (OP)
Only Sandler movie that made me stressed out was Punch Drunk Love, the fuckin music in that the whole time was designed to cause anxiety. Pretty amazing actually.

>>213441680 (OP)
reminder that /tv/ shilled the fuck out of this garbage.

never ever listen to anything that /tv/ shills. its guaranteed garbage.

retards will stroke their own ego and argue the constant yelling is done on purpose and these retards are obviously right but think that point is somehow lost.. it isnt.. its just making something shit on purpose is still just it being shit.. you are not author or artsy you are just making deliberate shit. No it isnt gone over peoples heads not you are not smarter or have some secret knowledge you are just a idiot with a ego who thinks others are dumb when in reality its you etc

>>213441680 (OP)
>We end up turning it off not even halfway through because of how stressful it was to watch
maybe youre refering to how anxiety inducing frustration you get with the the character Adam sandler plays, he just keeps making worse and worse decisions and it just builds, thats what makes the film so good, it just wasnt for you its not a typical Adam Sandler flick

>>213447040
case in point

>>213447113

why are so many modern movies just people yelling

>>213441833
Good Time is Frownland minus the lo fi charm

This. Good Time was a piece of shit and only the same moron keeps recommending it

>>213441680 (OP)
you and your father are absolute pussies. that's one of the reasons that the movie is good. it's like a film length panic attack

fuck you

happy gilmore 2 had terrible sound design too. Felt unfinished and empty.

>>213441680 (OP)
It's a good movie, but "the tribe" doesn't like seeing this side of themselves.

>>213441680 (OP)
The main problem is Paul Thomas Anderson is a fucking mong who exclusively makes shit movies for 110IQ midwits.
The other issue is it literally has Adam Sandler in it.

>>213441680 (OP)
this movie is great, i can't believe anyone would say it isn't great. a real dramatic turn for sandler, tight pacing, great cinematography.
i hate degenerate gamblers and everyone in it. it's still a great movie.

It's a very predictable film

Yeah it's that other gay Sandler movie.

why are RT and IMDB so full of plebs? its highly rated on letterboxd as it should be

I liked it
I liked the message (be careful being too annoying and pissing goyim off)
I liked the bimbo

it's kino

>>213441782
sandler being an irredeemable piece of shit is one of the things that makes it great. and then he's killed by irredeemable pieces of shit.
the whole thing is a great tragicomedy. everyone who's an asshole gets it in the end.

>>213449185
Thats why a large portion of actors and the directors are made it? chuds dont make any sense

>>213449240

Dissagree. You could cut 40 mins out of the middle. For like 40 mins it starting to look like Kolbe Bryant was supposed to be the bad guy or whatever

>>213441833
Ugh. There's always that anon applying his "second-option bias" on a more underground title to be hipster.
The only thing I could think of the whole time I watched Good Time was how much of a burden that brother was. Uncut Gems is just a better put together movie.

Ah yes, the movie that made normies suddenly decide to stop hating Adam Sandler because "omg he's actually swearing in this one that's so based".

>>213454959
That didn't happen, most people don't like this movie let alone knows it exists

>a movie was too stressful for anon and his own blood
for reference, this is an adam sandler 'serious' movie so a 48% is more like a 62%

>>213441680 (OP)

could have been worse, they were going to cast Jonah Hill until Sandler watched Good Time and changed his mind about doing the movie

>>213442294
No. They write entire essays about the movie with their rating. The "audience" is fucking retarded. Like even more than the average American populace. There are dogshit movies where the "CinemaScore" is B+ and A. It's like a joke to take the audience's exit poll opinion seriously. Dumb couples on dates seeing corny slop. And the online aggregates are just a bunch of fans giving their favorite shit tons of 100% votes. And average people are stupid.
I can't believe that /tv/ is becoming kind of the philistine, lowest common denominator audience it used to despise. We snobs are becoming outnumbered. Only the lowbrows ACT like snobs about their Michael Bay type shit.
>Paul W.S. Anderson and Len Wiseman are true kino auteurs with soul (but spelled with a v)

This place has been sucking for a decade but the shit I've seen in the last year is just laughable.

I watched this a few years ago, and the only things I really remember are how anxiety-inducing it was, Kevin Garnett, and Adam Sandler’s wild self-insert as some kind of sex god.

>>213441680 (OP)
I thought this movie was awful on every level (I didn't feel the anxiety about the MC like others do). The outcome of the story was as routinely predictable. Only reason I sat through the whole thing was because I was hoping to see more of Julia Fox's BBL ass.

Who the fuck looks at a rotten tomatoes score? It's such a meaningless metric

>>213448036
I'm a different moron and I thought Good Time was better than Uncut Gems. They're both good movies, though.

I love the number of freaky looking Jews in this. The twins, the bullfrog pawnshop owner, the young jug-eared guy at the Passover party. All adds to the atmospehere.

>>213458022
Too much ass :/

>>213449849
>For like 40 mins it starting to look like Kolbe Bryant was supposed to be the bad guy or whatever
There is no "bad guy" in the movie. It's not a typical narrative. The movie is about Adam Sandler's character being a degenerate gambler and his life slowly unraveling as a result. And each character has his own agenda and is pretty much a selfish piece of shit, KG included. KG is a typical celebrity with a massive ego and it shows through on screen. It's believable and it's kino.

>>213457322
You're not entirely wrong, but I'm pretty sure the reason she hates Adam Sandler is because she knows he's cheating on her.
