I think everyone knew it was gonna be terrible, that why the director made specific attempts to lean into it. Honestly I don't think Jag (brian) really knew that we were leaning into the mockery of it. After the screening there was a Q and A and I specifically remember him saying how everything went perfect and he was just so happy about how perfect it was and how everyone did just did an a+ job in it 🤣

[@TemperedMedia]

This was DEFINITELY one of my favorite Mark moments.

[@imissimeem]

Not sure how much of it is due to Mark's presentation, but it genuinely feels like the guy had some self-awareness. Just enough to know that it wouldn't work as a straightforward mystery/drama, and so tried to make something a little weird and fun instead. It's still a failure as far as I can tell, but respect for having any self-awareness at all if so.

[@TaramiBedona]

Yes, this is definitely satire of vanity projects, rather than a vanity project in itself. There's a lot of "performative vanity", where the lead actor is inserted into typical situations from such movies, but the situation is deliberately undercut by a background gag (like someone getting a folder from the shelf while they're having sex). It's the kind of thing that happens in genuine vanity projects but as mistakes, like the hand of one of the crew catching the champagne glass in GetEven. That's why there's framing device of him watching the movie - to establish that Bryan Fernandez is a "real" person who's telling you a story about how awesome he is, but we know that isn't true. He's an actor - Jag Pannu - acting out a script written by another person and is directed by a third person. It's a fun idea though, and seems reasonably well executed.

[@planescaped]

@@TaramiBedona Ya know... if it was actually intentional, then the movie might actually be good. But the fact that you can't actually tell makes it great.
