Now, that&#8217;s not saying much, because to be honest I don&#8217;t follow movies anymore and at this very moment I cannot name a single other movie that released last year. Based on that, you could probably even say that <em>The Menu<\/em> was my most anticipated movie of 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, I didn&#8217;t actually watch it until a couple months ago. And I&#8217;m not writing about it until a couple months after watching it. You would probably think that I didn&#8217;t like it all that much. Untrue! In fact, I thought that it was excellent! I just haven&#8217;t been a very good blogger in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if the marketing for <em>The Menu<\/em> was bad, or purposely misleading, or I was just taking the wrong things from it, but the movie was not at all what I expected from commercials. In fact, one of the things that I liked most about it is that it actually kept me in suspense the entire time. Like, sure, it telegraphs some things, but for the most part I was very unsure of where it was going, and many of my preconceptions of how scenes would play out ended up being wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, I&#8217;m actually going to continue being a poor blogger and not finish reviewing <em>The Menu<\/em>. No, rather I&#8217;m just going to embed an existing review by someone else. Because it&#8217;s right on point, and me trying to write my own review would quite likely amount to little more than me subconsciously regurgitating this one. Poorly. And that&#8217;s just as good as plagiarism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Drinker Recommends...
