Ah yes, today the general public content consumers get to tell us their opinions of Wake Up Dead Man. Time to avoid film twitter.

So fucking glad I saw it at the cinema weeks ago.

Scummy Forest fans come to Liverpool and have the balls to sing the tired and unfunny "feed the scousers" song.

A gem, a disappointment and 2 duds.

As someone who has detested Quentin Tarantino for 30 years, I'm delighted to see so many people finally coming round to what an arrogant and obnoxious prick he is.

Paul Dano is a better actor than Austin Butler will ever be.

Yet again, QT just comes across like a total prick.

There is nothing wrong with not having Sinners in your top 5, 10, 20 films of 2025.

There was nothing wrong with not having Oppenheimer in your 2023 lists either.

Does anyone else get the feeling James Cameron wants Avatar 3 to "under-perform" enough so that he doesn't have to direct 4 and 5. He's been dropping hints all year.

I certainly wouldn't complain.

Watched the new 4K of Demolition Man last night. Great transfer of a seriously fun film, complete with both Taco Bell and Pizza Hut versions.

Then re-listened to the old @whmpodcast.bsky.social episode on it. Fucking hysterical. Might be a top 10 episode.

Rewatched Spielberg's WEST SIDE STORY tonight. (No, not because Tarantino mentioned it. I couldn't care less what he thinks tbh.)

It's legitimately a masterpiece. Dazzling film-making. One of the best 21st Century film musicals.

And he should have won his 3rd Oscar for it.

Saw "Wake Up Dead Man" today and can confirm it is excellent. Rian Johnson just nails it again. Tremendous performances all round.

See it at the cinema if you can. It will encourage Netflix execs to put more of their big releases on the big screen.

Deat Netflix, I couldn't give a flying fuck about Stranger Things. Please stop spamming me with notifications and reminders.

Just because you like an actor's performance in a film, it doesn't mean they deserve an Oscar. There was a time when people understood this but social media has ruined it.

Jesus Christ Gen Z, turn your fucking phones off in the cinema and stop photographing and filming the screen.

You're all fucking stupid and annoying.

This is the type of list you get from a generation of people who cannot distinguish between "best" and "favourite".

And it'll get worse.

Why is Ti West being ridiculed by film twitter for this excellent and relatable list?

Is it because he actually picked films he loves and didnt treat it like some performative exercise to pick obscure films and make himself look like some eccentric genius?
