I just watched Final Destination: Bloodlines at home and I can say with totally certainty this movie would have been a lot of fun to watch in a crowded theater with people yelling their thoughts at the screen.
some movies are more of a social experience, and filmmakers who can’t grasp that need to lighten up.
also, scorcese thinks pretty highly of himself for basically making slur-laden stories about opulent sociopaths being crass and violent. I mean I laugh at some of the scenes, but I laugh at all kinds of dumb shit.
some of them I really like, but his stuff is not exactly all that complicated. The Departed had a clever symmetry to its conflicts and character development, but that was a remake anyway. I just rewatched Casino, and it’s not exactly a revelation. there are some early scenes that are downright cheesy. but for some reason he made it 3 hours long so it took me 2 days to get through it.
it was an OK cam. normally I wouldn’t bother but I expected it to immediately suck and by the time I realized I was invested it was too late.
in my defense, I don’t keep close track on when shit is actually released for stream vs theater and the description didn’t say it was a CAM… so occasionally I end up downloading and watching a shitty cam because I’m too curious about the story to wait.

Did you watch a cam rip or do you have something better? 👀
