Seeing Scary Movie has the potential of encouraging them to restart that trend of obnoxious satire which was so dominant before Marvel slop took over.

Skill issue, I like obnoxious satire
But could you do that to me? Could you hurt a pretentious cinephile who insists on watching 3+ hour movies and commenting on the lighting? I'd say I have a family but I don't because of that.
I do it because I am you but part of my formative years were spent watching slop like Epic Movie and Meet The Spartans so I really do enjoy when a movie is just an low-brow parody/satire.
I also just enjoy when a movie is categorically awful if my two viewings of Megaopolis in IMAX are any indication. Something very funny about dragging a bunch of friends to a movie I know is bad (because I saw it by myself a week prior) and going "trust me it's by Coppola and has Shia Lebouf in it", walking into a nearly empty auditorium & them demanding I reimburse them for their tickets when we're walking out of the theater after the movie
Pitch Meeting for Megalopolis was very funny
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
As the resident horror movie enjoyer on this site, I'd go Backrooms - with the caveat that I thought it was the best of the 3 because it spoke directly to some personal shit I'm going through in my relationship.
Obsession is probably the real stronger of the 2. I enjoyed it as well, not groundbreaking, but fun.
Scary Movie was....ehhhh. Not my bag, but better than I expected
Obsession
tbh I think you should pick Backrooms. You might be skeptical at first and think its silly, which it kinda is -- but it has value in having a more anti-capitalist sentiment. decaying empire sentiment. Plus its kinda cool if you think of it more as a labyrinth 🤔 just a modern day one.
Obsession is genuinely upsetting, but I really loved the performances. Apparently the audience laughs a lot.
backrooms could be a side chapter in inland empire. that's what it feels like to me
actually the most compelling review i've heard of backrooms thus far....i guess i'll flip a coin on it and obsession
Sure, the first 2 nerds say are good, the last one i keep hearing is bad btw
Obsession
should've called it Funny Movie tbqh
The Backrooms rips trust me it’s a good film
Obsession was good. Torrented a video camera recording of it so probs wasnt the best method lol
I really enjoyed the backrooms 👍
Haven't seen the others though
