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

Re: What movies are you watching?
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

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

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

Re: What movies are you watching?
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 worldsJorge wrote:I don't think most people can just choose to be polyamorous

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...
