I'll go first. Mine is that I can't stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It's like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

I loved 99% of that movie. Except the bad guy. I try not to focus too much on bad dialogue but some of the lines he has on the final phone talk is so bad it really damages the movie. But it also has one of my favourite lines of the last 5 years.

“What's happened happened, which is an expression of faith in the mechanics of the word. It's not an excuse to do nothing.”

I fucking love that moment.

I think that’s an internet bubble phenomenon.

When I hear that movie mentioned in real life, it is always to rave reviews.

Really? I could finish it.

Christopher Nolan is a director who is fine when he is sort of contained but if you don't contain him he tends to go off on random tangents that don't really lead anywhere and the movie just becomes this kind of incoherent nonsense.

This skit absolutely nails the problem with some of his films
