🎬 ~ Coyote vs. Acme

rating: 4.5/10

do i think this is one of the best thematically resonant things i've ever seen? beep beep. do i still hate the unfunny writing? beep beep. c'mon man, at least TRY to be funny with your jokes. the quips were so dry and unhumorous, a chore to watch and hear, that i couldn't help but wonder if the script was written aided by ai. but shit. just the idea: what if sisyphus loved the boulder, and the boulder loved him back? what if he loved TRYING. fuck fuck fuck i was crying when roadrunner acknowledged the pain he saw coyote go through and called him a friend. i don't think i've cried in this way in a while. one tear is normal, two simultaneously streaming down my cheeks is decidedly not. rare event guys. can't believe i carried to a fuckin looney tunes movie. i was waiting for donald duck but idk if he's looney tunes or not. BUGS BUNNY THO! MY GOAT WHO I WAS CONSTANTLY COMPARED TO AS A KID COZ OF MY OVERBITE! HE SAVES THE DAY AND IS SO SUAVE AND COOL AND I LOVE HIM!! the court scenes' inaccuracies were taking me out of the experience so bad. as someone with a fleeting interest in law even i can tell they weren't following procedure properly: idc if this is a "children's" film, at least TRY to be faithful and accurate. honestly i don't think this movie was meant to be marketed to kids either. i mean, i can see that it's written to be a kids movie (glaringly apparent coz of the severely dumbed down dialogue) but as far as i've seen the audience for this has been adults mostly who've related to the struggles of coyote. i feel like they should've leaned more into that mature audience aspect. the script kind of nukes itself trying to be too simple. at least it's a blessedly small runtime. istg that roadrunner testimony scene is the magnum opus of this movie that by itself deserves a 10/10 but the rest is bleghh. also why was a character who studied law at OXFORD back in america doing her internship in a boonies ass city in new mexico?that's my review guys.
