Gone Girl- Terrible
Somebody has to say it- because I'm tired of hearing about it. Gone Girl is a pretentious, preposterous piece of shit. I haven't seen the movie, but I absolutely hated the book upon retrospect. I can't stand hearing the writer congratulating themselves on how this is going to be such a cool movie and how creepy their ending is. That was the subtext of the entire second half of the book. It was completely distracting and I'm not even sure the writer cared about the story so much as how awesome the movie was going to be. Go eat shit. I'm really tired of people praising it, but I'm also not surprised it's a movie starring Ben Affleck. In fact it's exactly what I expected. I found the book to be completely insulting to my intelligence while also so far up it's own asshole it couldn't even come down to earth long enough to see that was totally unbelievable even as a work of literary fiction. Sorry, but I'm not drinking the Koolaid. The fact that people in Hollywood read this and couldn't see how much it was pandering to them is disturbing, or perhaps they did, and in that case- shame on you. You are all part of the problem.
