Oh dear at the Free Guy clip. I actually encouraged my 16yo to go and see this because, like any out of touch parent, I thought it might be her kind of thing. She gave it 1.5 stars on Letterboxd :) "It was random stuff crammed in for no reason". B-but I thought that's what you liked?

I mean if we're going to be comparing the two, Free Guy was much, much worse than Ready Player One and I regret suggesting that my son and I watch this while his younger sisters and mother watch the Paw Patrol movie, which was also probably better than Free Guy.

Ugh, my son really really wants to see Free Guy and my wife loves Ryan Reynolds so I better brace myself for having to sit through it.

Could this have been good if it referred to completely made up pop references? Maybe that would make it weird and interesting?― silverfish, Wednesday, September 29, 2021 10:29 AM (two hours ago) bookmarkflaglink

Imagine the level of creativity this would require!

I guess alternatively, you could make it all pop culture references from another culture, like make it all Eastern European pop references or something

Is Ryan Reynolds meant to look like a fucking waxwork?

He acts as well as one, after all.
