To not see something for yourself because someone else told you it's "hipster trash" is in itself a very hipster move. Why can't people just watch something without getting caught up in who else is watching it?
I enjoyed Rubber for what it was. It's in the same vein as Attack of the Killer Tomatoes.

I've seen The Truman Show six times and it's still worth watching.
I know right!

I think the only movies I've come anywhere close to seeing twenty times are Princess Mononoke, Kill Bill, South Park and maybe Twelve Monkeys.

Now that we're bragging, I've seen John Carpenter's The Thing 13 times, Shaun of The Dead 8 times and My neighbour Totoro 6 times.
Not that much, but still, those are pretty much the only movies I like to watch again and again. Oh and Scott Pilgrim, but I've only watched it 2 times till now.

But Tomatoes was godawful too.
I do like the Truman Show however.

I watched the first episode of A Game of Thrones. They seem to have captured the feeling from the book, which is good, but some characters aren't really how I imagined them.
Special points to Tyrion and Joffrey, who are exactly like I imagined them.
Also too much doggy position sex. I have a feeling Martin had a personal hand in directing.

That's why I said "for what it was". You don't commit to a film about a killer tire thinking it's going to be groundbreaking cinema.
I thought Rubber was going to be one of those movies that's so bad it's good (like the first Mortal Kombat movie, annihilation was not the slight bit entertaining) But we found it to be a genuinely good film. I've done a bit of snooping around and the overall opinion on Rubber is mixed. Some love it. Some hate it.
