What movies are you watching?

[tragabigzanda]

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.

A lot of my favorite movies are ones where almost nothing happens

[VinylGuy]

yeah i wasnt a fan either.

[Mickey]

Red Rocket.

Really enjoyed it. Simon Rex was fantastic, Bree Elrod (Lexi) was great too.

yeah i loved it. Need a rewatch. Rex is amazing...its a testament on how lousy the oscars are that he is not nominated.
I was starstruck with Suzanna Son.

Might mess around and watch Ravenous again.

I watched the first ten minutes of Courage Under Fire, then just started watching On Cinema

The Batman

I liked it

[Ms Harmless]

I picked a random Paul Dano movie (I've seen Prisoners already) and it was this weird dark but sweet rom-com, "Ruby Sparks"; I liked it

I watched "Her" for the first time and it was OK; the twist was bittersweet, but

Spoiler: show

why not just be polyamorous and allow your AI gf others? what she said about the way she loves was like polyamory 101

[Jorge]

I don't think most people can just choose to be polyamorous

[Jorge]

Ruby Sparks was sweet from what I remember. Written by Zoe Kazan, Ruby Sparks herself. She's had an interesting career

I think it's way more than about "her" need to love others. It's about AI evolving to such a magnitude that humanity and all its petty needs and desires don't really matter anymore. Basically how we feel about ants. And that poor ant sure does get his feelings hurt. It's basically a prequel to Terminator or Matrix.

that may be true (for me it wasn't a natural orientation, though, it just made sense after a lot of trial and error), but writers / directors can acknowledge that it's a possibility that exists, and the film doesn't; it assumes "monogamy, or heartbreak"; a lot of "love triangle" plots could be made more interesting if polyamory was even acknowledged to exist in their fictional worlds

[BurtReynolds]

I really don't care for Dano. He's alright I guess, but is not my cup of tea. Maybe in the right movie he could work...

yeah, that's a good take, Tree

my polyamory comment was offered with tongue slightly in cheek
