re: Hillbilly Elegy is one of the worst movies I've seen in a long, long time

I remember liking the book, to a small degree, when I first read it in 2016. It spoke to some of my concerns of opioid-addicted, perpetually impoverished white Appalachians. Not the most ground-breaking book ever written. But I sympathized with stories of Vance’s home life.

As far as the movie, I haven’t seen it. Ron Howard hasn’t made a good movie since Cinderella Man. (He has made 9 movies since then; 3 of them have been Da Vinci Code movies). Solo: A Star Wars Story was somewhat entertaining, but nothing special.
