Woah Woah Woah, I dunno if you're just a troll or whatever, but Slop? I happened to like the movie, but it it's fine if you didn't. It definitely had a vibe. But Slop? Are we using slop to mean "something highly artistic and creative that I happened to be meh on" now? Because I was pretty sure we were using it to mean "uncreative middle of the road pandering to everyone stuff" which I think this definitely was not, regardless of how overrated or overhyped you might feel it was.

I don't really care about your opinion of the movie specifically, we can like different stuff, I'm mostly concerned about the term slop degrading into "thing I just didn't enjoy"

Slop for pretentious, "so artsy" types. I fell asleep during the movie but it felt pretty meh and up its own ass, to me. Seems A24 has a slew of these shows that are marketed to young "artists" who aren't actually creative and just wear the uniform.

They've also made some of my favorites, but ive seen too many movies that seemed like they'd be great but turned out to be subpar executions of decent ideas from A24.
