predestination

 [IMDB]

this one is for you, ranjan.

bard> could you please write a review of the movie predestination in the style of schmolli?

"""

Sure, here is the review of Predestination in the style of Schmolli:

Predestination is a mind-melting sci-fi thriller that will leave your brain in a pretzel. The film follows a temporal agent (Ethan Hawke) who is sent on a mission to stop a terrorist attack. However, the agent soon discovers that the terrorist is himself, and that he is caught in a time loop that he cannot escape.

This film is so schmolling. The plot is twisty and turny, and the themes are deep and philosophical. It's the kind of film that will make you question everything you thought you knew about time travel, identity, and free will.

The acting is top-notch, with Ethan Hawke giving a tour-de-force performance as the temporal agent. Sarah Snook is also excellent as the woman who is caught in the time loop. The supporting cast is also very good, and they all help to bring the film's story to life.

If you're looking for a schmolling sci-fi thriller that will blow your mind, then you need to check out Predestination. It's the kind of film that will stay with you long after you've seen it.

Here are some of the schmollingest things about Predestination:

The time travel plot is so twisty and turny. You'll never be able to guess what's going to happen next.

The themes of identity, determinism, and free will are so deep and philosophical. You'll be thinking about them long after the film is over.

The acting is so good. Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook give two of the best performances of their careers.

The film is so schmolling. It's the kind of film that will make you question everything you thought you knew about time travel, identity, and free will.

Overall, I give Predestination 5 out of 5 schmolls. It's the schmollingest sci-fi thriller I've ever seen.

meanwhile, i give bard's movie review one schmolli.  schmolli does not think any of those things!

for example, since i watched this film, i have thought about it maybe twice, and mostly because i was trying to figure out why ranjan is so obsessed with it. actually, i did have another thought about it, which is that it was cool that one of the things the movie added was that not only was the time agent responsible for their own birth, but also for their death. i am a big fan of full circles. refer back to bard's answer above, you will see no mention whatsoever of full circles.

in case you are wondering, i also asked chatgpt the same question, and it thought i was talking about some guy named dj schmolli. jesus. anyway, chatgpt also thought this was a five out of five movie, i suspect collusion.
