My sister in law got SUPER into the Bay-formers. I showed her the only Transformers movie that was actually about giant transforming robots, the original 1986 Transformers Movie.
She was not impressed.
Is there a name for this phenomenon? Just did a group road trip and the hotel I picked ended up being shit. Guess whose value as a human went down as a result? Mine.
Why? I did my best, I researched, the online reviews were good. So why does every observation about the rude staff and funny smell reflect on me personally?
I kind of hate watching movies with other people because they turn their interest in the film into a referendum on me as a human being.
it’s so fucking weird. it’s just a movie man, it exists whether we watch it or not. your massive insecurity about your identity is not my issue man.
If someone recommends me a movie with a regressive subtext, I’ll either assume they agree with it or are media illiterate. I loved the look of realization on people’s faces when I explained that Kingsmen was a libertarian morality tale.
I did this on my honeymoon and learned that the action-packed adventure movie I recommended was actually about healing wounded familial relationships and made my wife cry XD
Fast and the Furious?
Fast and the Furious?
Nah, it was a Korean movie I can’t remember the name of
I recommend watching Happiness (1998) with your friends and family.
Okay but why am I watching 2 cats watch a movie?
spoiler
(you used POV incorrectly)
Or the POV just refers to the text, and the image is a separate thing acting as a visual aide
Why is the POV from a third person? Is the cat having an out of body experience?
Got harder to handle the pressure the further into the movie they got.
You pick movies for couples and then watch them watching movies in bed?
sounds like a fetish
Ohh yeah, make 'em watch the prequels now… mmmmm yeahhhhhh
Giggity
Is this a throuple type? Because having one partner who’s primary contribution is picking what show/movie to watch might be interesting to a number of couples out there. Even better if they figure out what to have for dinner as well.
That’s my son’s job. It’s not as sexy as you make it sound. He always has suggestions for dinner, though, that’s not a problem.
That’s what the laptop camera is for!
ive always enjoyed The Man From Earth, a movie about a bunch of people sitting together in a room talking about one of them being a 14000 year old biologically immortal cave man. its such a fun idea and they spend almost the whole time just talking about it with no flash backs or anything. ill admit some of it is a little hokey. one time i watched it with a group of friends and one of them said he wished he could have the time back lol. i still really like it, just dont watch the sequel. its so stupid idk why they bothered to make it.
That’s one of my favourites, though I did find it weird how intense some of them got. Like I understand the one lady as her worldview was falling apart, but Art and Will seemed crazy with how they were reacting. Keeping it vague to avoid spoilers, but John should have turned what Will threatened at the end back on him after what he threatened in the middle. Guy shouldn’t have had his license after pulling that shit, let alone act like he’s the one speaking from wisdom.
But that sequel lol… They dialed the intensity even higher, though I can’t tell if the movie was made with a “this is what you get for pissing a certain group off” mindset or a “this movie wants to show even more how crazy this certain group can be” mindset. The writing was so bad in the second one.
edit: never mind. only read the first half of the comment. Read the second half, and you said you’d seen the second one.
“Oh shit, I forgot about… that scene.”
Had this happen with Enter the Void. When I watched it, my perspective on life and death was rocked. Incredible experience. My partner couldn’t get past all the incest. We didn’t finish the movie.
Oops. Forgot there was a rape scene. Sorry grandma
Don’t worry grandma, someone’s gonna turn his face into putty with a fire extinguisher. Whoops, spoilers! :)
Did you watch the film backwards? Hahaha
Edit: oh and also wait… did you ever see the movie?
Yes… I didn’t have the heart to tell grandma it wasn’t the rapist who got puttied.
Aha!
I’d love to see a chronological cut to that movie…
There is one apparently (official) which got released recently-ish, like 5 years ago? Which confuses me, because I saw it in like 2014 and remember the fire extinguisher being after the rape (chronological). So now I don’t know if I saw some weird fan made cut or something.
Scene goes on for 20 minutes. Excessive nudity swearing. Tell your family "Don’t remember this part must be the directors cut’
Can someone actually recommend a film with a long scene that has excessive nudity swearing in it?
I show Tetsuo: The Iron Man to anyone I can get to watch it. They thought they knew what weird shit was because they’ve watched some David Lynch, but then they saw a drilldo and a dick tank.
drilldo
Welp, I’m fuckin sold.
It’s fucking spectacular.
I had heard The Lobster was funny, so picked it to watch with my wife. I still remember the accusing way she looked at me every other scene.
Decent movie, but I don’t think it’s Yorgos’ best.
And she STILL mentions this movie years later! Fairly I had just suggested watching Tusk with her a few weeks prior ( “it’s Kevin smith sweetie it should be funny!”), and she’ll never forgive me for that suggestion either - or the though that I might have a thing for people turning into animals.
Yeah, mine too
Ha, I remember screening Perfect Blue for some friends and feeling like this. I don’t think they really liked it unfortunately, which is a shame. That movie is a masterpiece.
Ink is a fantastic watch. The whole movie used to be on YouTube but I don’t think it is anymore.
LOVED Ink! It is an odd combination of low production value and oddly something that pulls you in!
What’s it about? Tattoos?
I liked it a lot too. It’s very impressionistic, kind of fantastic, as in fantasy or dream-like. Very amateur in some ways, but also a film I’m very glad got made. Don’t want to spoil it, as it’s a film that can get spoiled. I’ll say it’s about a monster that steals a little girl and someone (Her father? It’s been a long while since I’ve watched it) trying to save her. It’s the one made in 2009 in case you run into other things called “Ink.”
I hate it when that happens. I had a super abusive brother when I was growing up that would berate me all the time whenever I watched any kind of anime around him.
Thank God he moved to another country
all you had to do was not watch anime and he wouldn’t’ have berated you.
it’s so simple
