What movies are you watching?

Also Ladybird was underwhelming.

I think a lot of indie/smaller movies have a hard time with realistic dialogue.

Screenwriters like to pretend they were smarter than they actually were or write the things they wish they would've said.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Juno is the prime example of stupid dialogue. No teenager actually talks like that.

Agree on Pen15. It's sooooo well written.

Juno was terrible. That entire period of twee revival is best forgotten.

Sextuplets. Don't - just don't!

Tony Manero (2008). Really good, but of Larraín's movies I still like Neruda best.

Post Mortem (2010). Still agreed with above, Larraín doesn't really come into his own until Neruda.

Since the HDTGM show is tonight.

[Mickey]

Late Night. I really enjoyed it. Good story, solid writing, and Emma Thompson raises the whole thing to a higher level.

Been thinking about watching this, glad to hear it's pretty good.

I'm gonna pump the brakes here...

It's good. I have a love of writers' rooms, have romanticized that environment in my head for years, so I am a very niche audience who probably regarded this as something better than it really was.

It wasn't totally milquetoast and light; it did have some edge to it, in how Emma Thompson is forced to reconcile her private life with her public persona, and in how Mindy Kaling's SJW tendencies are challenged by "the real world." But it wasn't exactly hard-hitting drama nor high art.

Just wanted to offer that in case you were thinking it might be, like, Network or something.

I could have contextualized here--been thinking about watching a relatively mindless movie and this has been on my radar for that category.

We watched half of Bohemian Rhapsody last night. I thought some parts were good and I bet it sounded great on theater speakers, but for the most part I felt like they hid the really big things about this story between many scenes featuring performances of Queen songs. We'll probably finish it tonight. My wife is very pregnant and it's a long movie.

Oh, are you trying to own me? Please, do go on.

I'd love to see what sort of brilliant, insightful burns you can string together with your 200 word vocabulary.
