At the end of the film, Aristotle, played by Jason Statham, is surveying a blackboard with the word "ETHICS" written on it above inscrutable formula.

Someone else comes up to him and says "Oy, what's all this then?" to which Statham responds "dey's the Nicomachean ethics, aint dey Tommy?"

Sitting in Bars with Cake? I'd rather be Riding in Cars with Boys!

(this is for the two people who remember that movie)

I came here to make a similar joke. Consider your comment liked.

Aristotle and Dante is actually the gritty prequel to Calvin and Hobbes, about a young Aristotle who fucks.

And Bill Watterson never let his publisher license the characters so this could actually happen.

As for your title-centric-movie description conundrum, might I suggest the term "Title Centric Movie"?

Also, the TMNT poster actually kind of makes me nostalgic for bowling alley/video arcade mediocre pizza. Just a dumb happy kid enjoying greasy cheese and dough.

"All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt" - Matt Lieb will either be very disappointed or very into this film.

Is there some context to the "Heart of Stone is definitely real" bit? Has Godot and/or Netflix made movies recently that are some kind of money-laundering scheme? Or is it just referencing the general shadiness of straight-to-streaming movie funding?

(I could have probably Google this in the time it took me to write this post)

Mostly just that it looks like a fake movie, really nothing to the bit beyond that.

Watched this last night and can confirm it is a fake movie. Imagine a Kingsman sequel written by AI.

I hope they use a slowed down version of Heart of Gold in the soundtrack.
