If you think Ernest Cline's movie is cringy, wait until you read his poetry. Absolutely one of the worst piece of writing I've ever read.
And it only gets worse from there.

Inglourious Basterds.
However much I liked all the Tarantino flicks before this one, I just cannot get into Inglourious. Also, everything Tarantino made after that movie is also tainted by the same uneasy feeling I get. If pressed to guess why, I'd say he took the stories out of the 'now' and transported them to other times and places, which just does not seem to agree with me.
Ted.
Juvenile fratboy humour done badly, very badly with lots of fan services to get the brainless cheering.
Made me laugh once in the first few minutes (I can't even remember the joke) and walked out of the cinema after about an hour.
You tried to watch this movie sober, didn't you?
That's the problem, lol. You have to turn off a bit of your brain to enjoy yourself properly.
That just means the film is stupid.

People with this attitude are my enemies. Specially if they propose alcohol as method.
Spirited Away
No consistent world, cringy behaviour of the main character, love story out of nowhere, you can't have a plot twist if you didn't have any previously established lore. It felt a bit like a dream that was trying to take itself seriously as an actual story.
Nosferatu, the one that just came out, is very well done. It's also just Nosferatu: Again.
I was very bored watching the movie because it's the same story I've heard before many times. Those 2 hours and 12 minutes dragged hard.
