Am I strange for not loving Everything Everywhere All At Once? (self.moviesandtv)

Just got around to watching it for the first time tonight. We had so many people tell us we'd love it and need to watch it, so it was high on our list. Great cast, and it won so many awards.

I didn't hate it, but I was left scratching my head over all the hype. I like odd movies and books, so it's not that I couldn't handle the weirdness. It seemed like in the same vein as Scott Pilgrim, and if you told me it wasn't a bit box office but got a cult following, I'd totally believe that.

My wife felt exactly the same way. Maybe it's just one of those cases where there was too much hype for us, but I felt kind of let down.

I enjoyed reading ready player one, but it was less the story and more the fun of all the games and platforms woven into it. I'm the perfect demographic for it, having grown up in the era when personal computers were a new thing and going on to work in the software industry.

That’s a perfect example, since I personally didn’t care about the references, it wasn’t for me. But I bet it was a trip for you, and that’s great! So no worries on whether a popular piece of art doesn’t resonate for you, it’s just not on your wavelength.
