[quote=FilmBuff][quote=Allaby]I've seen all three of Alex Garland's previous films and liked them all, so I am hopeful this one will be good too.[/quote]

This one might be the best of them all![/quote]

[quote=Allaby]Interesting.  I actually thought Men was strangely beautiful in a striking and bizarre way.[/quote]

[quote=Mr Minio]Here's what I wrote after watching [i]Men[/i]:

[quote]Oh man. compared to Alex Garland, Jordan Peele is an auteur. I disliked Garland's two previous efforts. Ex Machina was a half-assed attempt at meaningful sci-fi, while Annihilation was Tarkovsky's Stalker for popcorn eaters. But those two films were somewhat watchable, acceptable, passable. Now, Men is something else. It's one of the most in-your-face predictable and obvious films I've seen. Also, it's just so ugly. It's been a while since I've seen a film as ugly as this one. There's not one aesthetic shot in the entire film, and those shots that aim to look good are just so off. I don't know what Garland's deal is, but his films just look so flat and uninteresting. Also, the only worthwhile little thing about the movie is the on-the-nose symbology of Gaia and whatnot. But these attempts at making Men partly a Folk Horror fail.[/quote][/quote]

[quote=Allaby][quote=Mr Minio]All of them.[/quote]

Can you be more specific about why you don't like Garland's films?[/quote]

[quote=Mr Minio]All of them.[/quote]

[quote=Allaby][quote=Mr Minio]Garland is worse than Nolan. Thanks for reminding me about this hack.[/quote]

In what ways is Garland a hack?[/quote]

[quote=Mr Minio][quote=Death Proof][quote=Mr Minio][quote=Death Proof]I have to pee.[/quote] Let us know how it went.[/quote]

It's sterile and I like the taste.[/quote]
Urine isn't sterile. It contains bacteria and is bad for you. Also contains salt so won't quench your thirst as well. Utterly useless.[/quote]
