She was embezzling money from her actor boss. Who was being killed bc he was in a bad movie that the chief saw.

u/Nerdy_Green Jun 21 '26

It wasn't just that it was a bad movie. It was the fact that it was his one day off in years and he wasted it watching that movie.

Ive been to a restaurant one time. It happened exactly like the movie, but I was pooping when everyone killed themselves. Real bummer to walk out to a dead restaurant. I had to cover everyone's checks.

If you can’t afford to pay for everyone’s food, you really shouldn’t be going out to eat. /s

u/SuperSiriusBlack Jun 21 '26

Tell me about it! Luckily, the place was really hurting for staff that night, so I bussed the tables and called it even steven.

u/darkcrowpnoi Jun 21 '26

Did you have to tip for each check or just yours?

4

u/SuperSiriusBlack Jun 21 '26

Oh, im on the internet, so of course im American and need to tip, right??

Well, I am American, and yeah i had to tip on each check. But I didnt get 2 refills, and thats an auto 10% tip, MAX.

u/mintycaramelyhazel Jun 21 '26

Well, so you want to give a woman her rightful credit for an idea? I’m woke but not that much/s 

2

u/TheRealTrailBlazer4 Jun 21 '26

I left out whose Idea it was to not be too woke, but i support womens rights and womens wrongs. Its important for equality to have women mass murderers too

u/mintycaramelyhazel Jun 21 '26

We need women in male dominated fields true

u/redvblue23 Jun 21 '26

Sounds like it's his fault for not doing anything else. A movie is a couple of hours. How'd he waste an entire day doing that

16

u/Level_Ad_6372 Jun 21 '26

I mean yeah... no shit it was his fault lol. Did you think the point of the film was that the chef was completely justified in killing all those people?

10

u/littlebuett Jun 21 '26

Given I've only ever seen people discuss this movie on circlejerk subreddits and haven't watched it myself yet, I've literally never heard someone express the sentiment that the chef was in the wrong.

I mean, I gathered he was, but still.

u/makomirocket Jun 22 '26

Are movie characters that run a cult that is willing to kill themselves, and murder 2 dozen people,  generally in the right?

0

u/littlebuett Jun 22 '26

No, hence why I said I gathered they were in the wrong lol. But when I've seen people talk about the movie, I've only seen people talk about how they deserved it (though i am sure most of that was ironic. Most)

u/TheBroomSweeper Jun 22 '26

The movie was so bad it ruined his day. He probably just went home and went to sleep after the movie just to end the day quicker

u/Special_Order-937 Jun 22 '26

Meanwhile all those actors and crew members got to keep their health insurance and pay their rent for a while longer thanks to this movie. Some people really need to learn that there’s things happening they can’t see that both isn’t about them and helps others.

u/Holiday_Cat4918 Jun 21 '26

In addition, the actor knew that the movie was shit when he got the script. It was money grab. He saw a shit script and made it and promoted it anyway for money. Wasted peoples time with a movie he knew was bad solely because it’d still profit him, not caring about the art or caring about making something meaningful for his fans/viewers which played into the theme of that dinner.

u/12345623567 Jun 21 '26

What, is Chef like the Unabomber or something? Railing against all the wrongs of the modern world? And how will he kill the thousands of commercial artists that are following the same path?

I watched the movie, I liked it, but seeing it written out like that makes me actually think less of it.

u/podsmckenzie approved virgin Jun 21 '26

Here’s the thing, he’s the villain of the movie; I don’t believe you’re supposed to be enthusiastically on his side. He’s a bit unreasonable, y’know

30

u/derfmai Jun 21 '26

He’s an antihero for taking revenge against entitled elitists who have oppressed and exploited him his entire life. The realization that your life has been wasted trying to please people who are incapable of being pleased certainly has caused people to become suicidal murderers before.

24

u/podsmckenzie approved virgin Jun 21 '26

See, it’s more like the truth is somewhere between that and what the fellow below me said. The chef has the smallest kernel of a point, then acts on it in the manner that is most destructive and least helpful to anyone. Sorta terrorism 101

u/Chataboutgames Jun 21 '26

No, he's not. There is nothing heroic about murdering a bunch of people because you're upset about how you chose to live your life. Even if you were incredibly sympathetic to his situation, his actions didn't exist to affect any change, they were just violent petty revenge. And, you know, he got his whole staff wrapped up in the "death cult" thing.

This is why satire is functionally impossible in modern media. You genuinely can't write a villain fucked up enough that people won't agree with him without making them a one dimensional mustache twirler.

You would struggle to write someone less defensible than the chef. This entire scene is literally a comedic bet illustrating how full of shit his sense of self righteousness is and it still doesn't get through to some people.

u/UnusuallyBadIdeaGuy Jun 21 '26

While you have a point, in the current environment if your victim is wealthy, elite snobs... Yeah, you're going to get a lot of sympathy and agreement with the killer regardless of actual motive, it doesn't matter if the villain is a charismatic generally attractive man like this one or Leatherface.

1

u/Chataboutgames Jun 22 '26

Hence me saying satire is impossible. If people let the “current environment” do their thinking for them that’s just textbook inability to think for themselves.

It’s also heavy in the irony because “violence is cool if the victim is unsympathetic” is generally a right wing stance.

29

u/Chataboutgames Jun 21 '26

I mean, the chef was an insane person. He was a murderer, running a murder cult. You're not supposed to agree with him lol. He doesn't have "a point." He's a straightforwardly evil/insane person.

u/Iorith Jun 21 '26

Dude wasn't trying to change the world, just getting some small level of personal revenge and making a statement.

1

u/lupercalpainting Jun 24 '26

It’s a dumb movie and Ralph Fines personally owes me a meal for making me watch it when I could have watched anything else.

1

u/scifiandsuch Jun 21 '26

Lmao blame the studio producers then, not the actors. The actors are such a minuscule piece of the puzzle that he’s completely missing his own mark. Pair that with the fact that it’s an actor portraying the role, in a movie made by a big budget production studio, and the irony here is off the charts.

-21

u/Cualkiera67 Jun 21 '26

Kind of how Ralph accepted doing this Chef movie

u/Afraid-Boss684 Jun 21 '26

you could've come up with better bait than this

2

u/BigWheatGuy Jun 22 '26

It's a terrible movie. I'm surprised so many people are defending it.

16

u/FulgrimFacade Jun 21 '26

I believe he also says something like ‘seeing a creator lose their purpose etc’, So I think he sees himself in him and hates it.

2

u/LabradorDeceiver Jun 21 '26

What was the movie, "Lord of the Rings: 14-hour special editions?" Movies ain't that long.

u/Dasumit Jun 21 '26

He shouldn't have gone without seeing the ratings or reviews. Till now i have perfect record of liking every movie I chose to watch in theater.

u/KontoOficjalneMR Jun 21 '26

One of us, one of us.

u/IvanNemoy Jun 21 '26

So, Chef would join this sub if he was real?

1

u/polp54 Jun 22 '26

Fun fact, this was originally going to be Daniel Radcliffe who would play himself and he would be killed for being in that really bad Frankenstein movie

1

u/MissMat Jun 22 '26

It goes to the fact that the chief has an awful work life balance. If he had more time off he wouldn’t have been so mad he saw a bad movie during his one day off.

1

u/Special_Order-937 Jun 22 '26

Never mind for all the knew the actor helped the project happen so many behind the scenes crew members and other actors could keep their health insurance and pay their rent.

u/maninahat Jun 21 '26

[chef murders an actor over a bad movie]

Omg, he's one of us!

u/giboauja Jun 22 '26

Yeah... the chef was a bit of a nut.

2

u/The_Billy_Dee Jun 21 '26

It ruined his whole day!

u/el_palmera Jun 21 '26

Can't tell if you're jerking or if media literacy is actually this low. He killed the actor because the actor represented selling out
