It was self indulgent garbage

The New York Times declared Black Panther, "a defining moment for black America." People were acting like a fricking comic book movie ranked somewhere between Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Emancipation Proclamation.
What does that have to do with this thread?

Some independent space film on netflix a while back.
Just some cheap movie about a dude stuck on a space station while earth basically dies. He's stuck for like 3 years and then it starts to get really pretentious when he has these "flashbacks" to some retro hotel and it ends with some voice you assume is either his mind or an alien saying something dumb.
Superrrr pretentious.
I looked up reviews afterwards and everyone was saying the same thing

Tree of Life I actually enjoyed, but I won’t argue with anyone nominating Malick flicks for most pretentious. I get it.

don't think he's ever made one movie that's worth a shite. It's as though he makes all his movies for New Yorkers and frick everyone else if they don't get it. Midnight in Paris is incredible.
His 60´s and 70´s comedies were hilarious, and anything but pretentious.

This.
And none of them should go watch To the Wonder. That's a level up of pretentiousness over ToL.
With that said, I'll nominate Babylon as well.
I Heart Huckabees is also a good choice. That was the pinnacle of late 90s quirky deepness.

Braff presented a nothing narrative with the crutch manic pixie dream girl, and ultimately had nothing interesting to say.
If you fed every Independent Spirit Award winner into a computer and asked it to produce a film, it would be Garden State. Braff went by an Indie film checklist and produced a bland, generic, movie that screamed to be important.

The obvious choice. I’ll throw Pay it Forward in for a more mainstream movie

So, it was the opposite of pretentious?
No. Cameron prefacing that this movie couldn’t be made before he reinvented camera technology and then serving us leftovers of every Edgar Rice Burroughs, Pocahontas, and Ferngully story was pretentious. Like bringing Aretha Franklin on stage dripping in diamonds only to find that her performance is comprised of a series of loud farts.

When the credits came up at the end, my wife said she felt like she'd just spent the evening watching James Cameron jerk off to pictures of himself.
This is the most overrated pos movie I've ever seen. It's Dances with Wolves in space.

Crash sucked no matter your political leaning or location in time and space. There is no part of it that was enlightening and it was about as subtle as a nuclear warhead.

Figured this would be mentioned a lot.
I don't know if its as pretentious as it is just pandering to false liberal Hollywood idea of the world.
Tree of Life however... I mean fricking Dinosaurs in a modern drama, black and white, long pauses of nothing, etc.
But personally, I still hate Little Miss Sunshine...hated every moment of that movie. Hated, hated, hated it...
Which reminds me, I'm ripping off Eberts review of North. That has to be up there.

I thought Midnight in Paris was fantastic but I can understand your sentiment. A lot of Allen's movies can be a chore to go through.

That damn Denzel movie about the healthcare system screwing him over. I can’t remeber it but it was pure propaganda.
