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.
The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle
Well if it was a random pick then oh well, whatever. But otherwise then yeah -I find myself nitpicking more. Bc I’m vouching for it being worthy of our time, so it’s reflective on me. Plus I’m trying to gauge if my company is enjoying themselves.
Me too! I’ll pick lesser known films just to broaden horizons or see people’s reactions when they don’t know what to expect. It’s very much part of the fun😁
“Oh shit, I forgot about… that scene.”
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?
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.
And this kinda thing is why I don’t pick films, TV or music for groups anymore. That and far too often getting negative responses from others.
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
Bad Lieutenant II. If you dont like it we can still be friends, but the harder you judge me for liking it the funnier it gets.
What timeframe is “old” ?
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 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
Yeah…good advice there, top quality
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.
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’m that way anytime it’s my turn to pick what anime to watch.
Redo of Healer
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.
The Stunt Man
Great movie with Peter O’Toole and Barbara Hershey.
One joke about a 14 year old prostitute, but what movie is perfect?
