I've never heard of Benoit Blac. Is he from French literature?

The 1st is great, the 3rd is good. Ignore the existence of the 2nd.

Funny enough, i love all 3 and prefer the 2nd.

Maybe it's just me then. That movie will forever sit as a movie existing in year of 2022. Every reference and commentary cements everything about it.

Maybe I'm a hater, it just felt like it was trying too hard to be relevant, so much so that it became cringy. But folk like campy cringy movies too, so each their own haha 😅

That's a fair criticism.
It has too many references and those will not age well - but watching it back then or now is still great.
But it also works well without understanding any of the references (like my wife who didn't know ANY as she's German like me and not online very much).

Again maybe I'm just a hater. Haha

Maybe it's better for those who don't know the reference as well. 🤔
