I thought you meant the Israeli death metal band. They came up a lot on early Google searches

4. TenetI’ve liked pretty much all of Christopher Nolan’s movies. But I think I’m just not smart enough to really enjoy Tenet. Or maybe it’s the movie is just too smart for the audience? All I know is I really had no idea what was going on pretty much the entire time and I was ready to leave after about an hour but I forced myself to stay because Nolan usually pulls out something wicked in the end. There were other complaints about the volume of the movie drowning out the dialogue but I didn’t really notice that so much. Mind you I’d tuned out so there’s that. I just noticed that it was all style with absolutely zero substance. Denzel’s kid was really good and nice to watch, and Robert Pattison didn’t sparkle in sunlight. He didn't really shine though like some other people made it seem. He was there. The Russian couple…were they even Russian?, I forget…they were losers. What I did notice afterwards is all my favourite of Christopher Nolan’s movies (Memento, the Dark Knight and Interstellar) have one thing in common: they were co-written with his older brother Johnathan. This was not. So that right there solves that mystery. This movie sucked.

Yep have to agree with Tenet man I thought it was incredibly confusing and way too loud. All style no substance is a perfect way to describe it.

There's a line in the Honest Trailer that perfectly encapsulates it: "Experience what happens when a filmmaker goes so far up his own butt that everything gets inverted."
Tenet has an interesting concept, but in practice it doesn't really work.

I was much more satisfied with Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead. Really? With that title, I would have assumed that it was the absolute shits

3. Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of KazakhstanI know a lot of people don't like it, but I LOVED the first Borat movie. This is what I still see and laugh about. It's been fourteen years, and people give me a whole picture, but I'll quote it as a quote. Why? Because it is TIMEless. When I first heard the soundtrack of the second Borat film, I was excited and skeptical. I didn't know how Borat's humorous style would make us live our lives in this BETA world, in the world of snowflakes and cupcakes. 2006 j. Karaganda 2020 j. There were still a lot of jokes in the world about the need to get rid of one's head, and the young girl who played the role of Twtar did a great job sitting next to him. In the meantime, he took a political path and completely lost interest. I don't find anything interesting or interesting in American politics about Donald Trump or their election. Little did I know that the guy with the fly in the ointment was the vice president. It can have a profound effect on non-US readers, but the whole world ... we don't care. Mine, I learned that the film quickly loses its relevance. Well, just a couple of months after we got it, the world is moving forward. I saw this movie in 2034 and can imagine that none of it matters. So politics suddenly turned me away from the film. There were still a few funny bitters, but then he turned left, and I couldn't say no. I think it would be a lot of fun if he didn't change anything and didn't know anything after being Borat.

2. Mr. Bungle – the Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny DemoAside from the Faith No More album that came out in 2016 Mike Patton has racked up an impressive string of releasing absolute garbage music that garners interest based solely on his name. But I guess his name value may be wearing out? This was the first time he had to resort to using a legendary name from his past (again, I don’t include Faith No More because he was only 1/4th of the engine behind that reunion) to garner interest after his last project (the equally terrible Dead Cross) seemingly fizzled out. The original Raging Wrath of the Easter Bunny was unlistenable garbage that thankfully was long in the past and obviously Mr. Bungle grew into something so much better. So I can get why go back to Mr. Bungle but why go back to this garbage music? I’m not the biggest thrasher guy but I know good thrash when I hear it. These songs are overly long, boring, repetitive and they all sound exactly the same. Patton himself sounds the same as he always does and one cool thing he does do is emulating the wild, crazy horns that were at the forefront of all of Mr. Bungles good music. And there’s another problem: this isn’t Mr. Bungle. Where were Danny Heifetz, Clinton McKinnon and Theo Lengyel? I get Lengyel not being involved because he left the band a few years before the band broke up. But the other two? Dave Lombardo and Scott Ian are great for thrash musicians but their ceiling with the band is this shit and that’s it. I guess reuniting and only playing this garbage is the “Bungle” thing to do. But it’s such a step backwards for such a talented band. Hopefully this is out of their system now and whatever they do next is good. Bowel of Chiley and Goddammit I Love America! weren't very good demos either (aside from the songs that made it onto their self-titled debut) so hopefully they don't redo those as well. But I hope they do do something else because if THIS is how one of the greatest bands ever ends that’s a sad thing.

6. New Model Cars (f*** you, I’m old)Buying a new car was an inevitability that I held off on as long as I could. I was happy with my 2009 Mazda3 Hatchback but I also felt like a donk because it didn’t have features that are standard these days; like a back-up camera, Bluetooth, cruise control or a cap on the gas tank. It had a wicked Cannibal Corpse sticker on the back window that somehow lasted since I bought the car in 2012. All good things come to an end and I had to say goodbye to it in August. So I got me a “brand new” (used) 2019 Mazda3 Sedan with all the bells and whistles…and no CD player since vehicles produced after 2018 eliminated them. That was a kick in the teeth that I knew was coming for about a year and a half since I bought my last van and the dealer couldn’t believe that a 2017 model still had one. And you think car audio shops can install an aftermarket CD player? Nope. So instead I had to buy a f***ing discman (which are somehow still in production) and now I have this big stupid thing sitting on my dashboard. It reminds me of the scene in Wayne’s World where (after he’s signed his first big deal) him and Cassandra are driving and he puts a CD in an external CD player on his dashboard and she’s blown away that he has a CD player in his car. Except the opposite. Now if someone saw me put a CD in an external player they’d have a different look of disbelief on their face. f*** you, I’m old. I still listen to CDs. But this is a huge nail in the coffin and I can see myself gravitating away from them in the next few years. Oh, plus the car is a piece of shit. No guts. Terrible milage. Weak-ass stereo. The trunk isn’t insulated while I’m driving thanks to my snow tires make it sound like I’m in a helicopter. Not to mention the CD player doesn’t have a backlight so I can’t tell what song is playing. This is great and I'm laughing! Bravo, sir! I'm actually surprised they don't make CD players in cars anymore. Can you get an aftermarket CD Changer installed (do they even make those anymore)? I remember in like '98 or '99 I got one of those for Christmas and was SO excited. LOL

I loved it, but can totally understand how the politics could turn a lot of people off... especially outside the US.

Someone has to somewhere but with the way cars are now it would have probably cost into the thousands

1. Nothing…absolutely nothing. Two weeks ago Luke Skywalker made his triumphant return and single handily took out AN ENITRE PLATOON of Dark Troopers without breaking a f***ing sweat enroute to rescuing Grogu and continuing the Childs Jedi training. That right there, those ten minutes right there, made EVERYTHING right in the world. All the bad shit Disney has done to my franchise was forgotten. 2020 was forgotten. That moment meant a lot to a lot of people. But I don’t know if you realise how much it meant to me. Star Wars has been more than a series of movies to me for most of my life. It’s a f***ing religion. A religion that’s been totally shit on for the last five years. After all the bad I feared Disney was going to do with Star Wars and after they’d actually managed to do a lot of it everything was fixed by them doing THE RIGHT THING. There was only one Jedi that could have been at the end of that episode. Ashoka, that kid with the big nose from Rebels, Mace Windu(?), even Mara Jade; all good in their own rights. But there is only one and Luke Skywalker is THE ONE. The Jedi returned. All is right in the world. I can die today and it will be with a smile on my face and good in my heart.

Finally, peace.
So I guess…that’s it?
Is this…what it means…to be happy?
I don’t know how I can continue doing this yearly angry list anymore…now that I was able to see my dream come true.
Like, 2021 can throw whatever it wants at me…it won’t matter.
That’s what it took.
I’ve finally found peace.
I’ll die now.
Goodbye.

NOT GOODBYE
yeah TENET is a somewhat obtuse movie, as there is a lot more personal story to it than the inverted side or even "the protagonist"s but again, view it a few times to fit all the vert-invert stuff together
NOW GOODBYE
