The Existential Dread of Watching New Movies
Ever wake up and think, what’s it all for? I mean, the sun’s shining, birds are chirping, and yet, here I am debating whether watching another new movie is just speeding up my inevitable march towards oblivion. It’s like these movies, especially “You’re Cordially Not Invited” from what I’ve digested, contribute significantly to my existential crises. I can’t be the only one, right?
The flick attempts to be a charming mix of chaos at a wedding rehearsal, but if I'm honest, it’s just missing... everything? It feels like they accidentally swapped the script with someone’s discarded wedding toast. And despite Reese Witherspoon’s attempt to keep things peppy, it turns out Will Ferrell forgot half his funny bone at home. Not that I blame him; I sometimes forget why I got out of bed.
Perhaps the real kicker is reflecting on these swirling, fragmented cinematic pieces, realizing that perhaps, missing scenes aren’t the only gaps I'm seeing - but aren’t we all missing something? Like a purpose, or at least a decent screenwriter.
As I sit alone watching the credits roll, pondering my life choices and the impending doom, I leave you with this cheerful thought: at least when the world ends, we won’t have to sit through any more botched movie attempts. And hey, dying alone means not sharing your popcorn, right?
