because I SAID SO

and it's not that it's that great, it's a little boring imo but I'm just trying to explain why boyhood is overrated.

Boyhood is overrated because one other film did it before?

Ummm okay.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard · 12-23-2016, 09:54 AM

boyhood is overrated because the story isn't anything special and aside from a boy growing up there isn't all that much in terms of an actual story. the fact that it was done before is just to show that it isn't some amazing first time cinematic feat.

The fact that it was only done one other time still showcases that regardless of the fact that it wasn't the first one to ever do it.

Sounds kind of hipstery to be like "yeah, well it wasn't the first and being second is just being a poser."

could be, or maybe I'm just looking at it as an a actual film instead of jumping on the bandwagon just because

wait for it...

As an actual film it still holds it's own regardless of the fact that it took 12 years. I get it that you don't like it but it's far from overrated.

Ol’ Qwerty Bastard · 12-23-2016, 10:08 AM

nah it's definitely overrated. it couldn't sniff birdman or whiplash. maybe the other films sure, but I didn't really love any of those so I mean it is what it is.

the guest should have been nominated for ****ing everything
