What movies are you watching?

[BurtReynolds]

After several lifetimes, he gets really good at everything and can manipulate anyone into believing anything he wants, but it doesn't free him from suffering.

[Jorge]

How do you know?

Maybe he hadn't gotten good enough at it until the very end

[Jorge]

I mean it's hard to gauge the sincerity of it, but that's exactly why I'm thinking about it

[BurtReynolds]

That's possible I suppose but I don't think that's what it was trying to get across.

[BurtReynolds]

It's only after he loves her (and everything else) in a completely selfless way that he attains nirvana. It's no longer about what he gets out of it.

That's what I got it of it anyway.

[Jorge]

I think that's very definitely the intended meaning

[BurtReynolds]

If have to watch it again but I could see how it would be hard to believe Bill Murray really learned anything or was acting honestly.

Quantum Of Solace

The most by the numbers Craig-Bond film I think. It’s a decent action film.

[Anders]

As Good As It Gets

Still good.

[Jorge]

as it gets

[Anders]

I wouldn’t go that far. Three out of five stars. But we laughed.

[Anders]

Skyfall now. Only second time ever.

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.

As Good As It Gets

Still good.

I hate this movie so much. If Nicholson tells Hunt “I have OCD,” there’s no movie.

That's SO many movies, though and also the revelation of Ted Lasso.

[Jorge]

He's mentally ill and she can tell. It's more about them trying to navigate that

Think it would have been a better movie without most of the romance. Still plenty there.

[Norah]

People who talk in metaphors oughta shampoo my crotch.
