On a scale of 1-10, how much like Snakes in a Plane is this?

Interesting wardrobe choices on the right there.

Can’t wait to see this movie, even if it’s terrible. Maybe especially if it’s terrible.

Their secret for bringing the bear to life was oddly enough cocaine.

I already tired of this joke and I haven’t even seen the movie.

Literally who gives a f about this movie?

Can't wait for future movies (think Back to the Future) to reference Cocaine Bear with a comment of "Bear still looks fake".

It’s giving “The Crows Have Eyes 3: The Crowening.” 100% here for it.

My favorite thing about this movie is you don’t have to watch it, the entire plot and setting is in the title, and you don’t need to know more! Power to people if they enjoy it but I’m not down to waste time on these “dumb” types of movies anymore.

The appeal seems from the marketing to be “Look how crazy this concept is! What a kooky title! Who could come up with that!”

And the answer is an 11 year old.

are people paid to post here about CB every single day, sometimes multiple times?

Seriously so many of the people in the comments section here thinking they're coming off as sassy and witty when in actuality they're just coming off incredibly miserable and whiny little girls. Like, I don't have a single interest in Avatar or Fast and Furious 12 or whatever but you don't see me wasting my breath acting like I'm on some imaginary higher level than moviegoers who enjoy those films.

"In the beginning, the Cocaine Bear posts were spaced by twenty four weeks. Then twelve, then six, then every two weeks. The last one, about Ray Liotta , was yesterday. By tomorrow we could be seeing a Cocaine Bear post every hour until they are coming every four minutes. Marshal, we should witness a double event within a day."

This idea that something stupid or something genre related can't be art is something I deeply disagree with. This movie will still have a story at its core. It will have themes and characters and potentially even social or political commentary. Whether or not those elements of the film are successful are subjective of course, but to me those elements and the attempt are worthy of critical consideration.

I hope it does well I will watch if it comes to Netflix or Amazon prime. Maybe even pay for the rental. Looks to be fun.

You don't have to be there at the time. The LD50 of cocaine (the amount necessary to be a lethal dose for 50% of test subjects) is 96mg per kg of bodyweight. The bear weighed 79kg and was found to have eaten 34kg of cocaine.

My daughter (freshman in HS) is seeing it with her friends this weekend. I might see if I can tag along, sit somewhere else in the theater. Hell, I might do that and just not tell her.

On my way to go see it now. Wish I could see it high, but I gotta drive.

Art isn't about technical components or medium or genre or anything else like that. Art is about emotion. If it makes you react, and feel something, it's art. It needs some abstract element, something that is intended to be interpreted that has no functional goal separate from you the observer, but so long as it has that, and it makes you feel something, it's art.

If it's universally reviled, and that wasn't the intention, you could call it "bad art". But art nonetheless.

That said, "high art" is a little different. At minimum, it requires a high degree of abstraction. Lots of room for, and an ability to instigate, interpretation.

If you've never enjoyed a "dumb" movie then you and I wouldn't be friends. That's no judgement on you, at least from me. Just saying, I'm sure you've found your people and I've found mine, but they probably aren't the same people, and this movie looks exactly like the kind of dumb time waster I'm interested in.

I've seen the trailers, I remember the movies I was watching at that age, I've gone looking for any information about the content of this movie to make sure I'm not missing anything, and we've shown our kids select R rated movies before now (Matrix, , etc), I feel pretty comfortable with letting her go on her own.

Maybe that's a mistake, but I'm comfortable with that, too, I don't expect my decision making to be perfect, but I've done my best.

I’m not against ppl under 18 seeing R movies I just meant logistically, the theater should be enforcing that rule. Didn’t meant to insult or imply anything, apologize if it came off that way. I saw plenty of R rated movies before I was 18 as well I’m sure it’s appropriate it’s not an overly violent movie from the looks of it.

I think they have an adult lined up, I spoke with my daughter about it after making the comment and she asked if I'd be willing to be the adult, so I'm not sure the previous plan is solid. I said yes so long as the other parents are on board, so I may wind up being the adult in the room, we'll see.

I miss late 90s/early 2000 cinema. The era of « just basic fun » movies. You can’t joke at anything today, and you need a quota of every minority out there. It’s like a checklist.

There is a reason why there are so many remakes and unoriginal stuff. Studios want safe.

I've never been so overexposed to a movie's ad campaign/promo before...I get it, this self-consciously "wacky" movie exists. I don't care. Am I alone in this sentiment?

OP os not asking who gives a fuck about movies, but rather who gives a fuck about a particular movie.
