I will never give up my grudge towards Passengers and
for baiting me with a great premise and then spending like 2 hours shitting on that premise and turning it into a dumbass happily ever after story that didn't have the balls to follow through on said premise and take it to its natural conclusion. Eat my ass space buttheads.
speaking of
, the bullshit movie where he gets abducted during the superbowl to go fight space bugs in the future with his badass daughter.
we paid like 10 RMB for tickets and i still feel robbed
Okay no joke, in college I took a screenwriting class as an elective and they had us read some screenplays for study and one was the script to Passengers, but this was like two years before it actually got produced. I remembered being surprised watching it with my ex cuz I was like "wait, this plot is super familiar... Oh shit!"
It had some interesting themes around loneliness and desperation, and the disturbing possibility of picking out a girlfriend from a catalogue. But it abandoned all of them to end up at its generic happy ending
