Or, as liked to call them, Falcon Crust, Die-Nasty, and Dall-Ass. I despised that entire genre with a fiery passion that would melt a diamond crusted aiglet. Scatological 'humor' turns me off, and trashing narrative continuity infuriates me. (You'll recall my rant on Ridley Scott and "Gladiator"?) I'll take a hard pass on this one.

Thanks for the review, and saving some minutes I can now more happily waste elsewhere.

After reading this, I just happened to watch Hollywood Masters, an interview show, on Netflix. William Freidkin was the interviewee, and he said, "I don't want to see movies that answer questions--I want movies that ask them." Interesting take; if you have Netflix, you should watch it. It's only about a half-hour. I haven't seen Triangle of Sadness; the trailer didn't grab me.

Yeah, you can add Glass Onion, Knives out to that list. Lots of talented actors. Just can't stand super rich people being stupid, entitled, privileged, etc, and getting away with murder - negligent or intentional.

I haven't seen this film but sounds like a remake of the admirable Crichton, a Kenneth Moore film I saw in the 50s

I attempted to watch this movie on a airplane and the when restaurant scene started I could only look away and just listen and hope it was short lived (it wasn’t) and when the movie got to the “poo river” I had to turn it off or risk losing my peanuts. Unfortunately I didn’t allow myself to finally get to the ship wreck so I have no idea how it ended, but the first part of that movie seemed like punishment
