What movies are you watching?

Is Damon better than Affleck? I’m not sure. Probably

Very much so. And I'm cool with Affleck.

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.

I wonder if they had swapped Good Will Hunting roles, if things would be different

Is that the only movie either of them wrote?

[JuanHamm]

Nice run of movies there. Big fan of '71 over here, glad you liked it. I've seen that probably four or five times now.
I like The King, too. I think it's underrated. I think it confused people because it is very much not Shakespeare but also very much Shakespeare and people weren't sure what to make of it? I don't know. I remember liking it a lot

What did you make of Robert Pattinson in The King? I think I'd have to watch it again to properly judge his performance.

'71 I watched because Sean Harris was in Green Knight and The King, so I looked him up and that movie caught my eye. I'm really glad I did because it was terrific.

I need a movie recommendation for tonight. There are still two Villeneuve movies I haven't seen, but Lenny didn't give them a glowing recommendation, so I'm not sure...

Enemy is great, if that's one that you haven't seen.

[JuanHamm]

Yeah, Enemy and Prisoners.

[The Argonaut]

I watched it when it was new, so I'll admit that Pattinson doesn't stand out in my head still. Joel Edgerton definitely does. And Timothee Chalamet saying "dauphin"

[The Argonaut]

Yeah, Enemy and Prisoners.

Don't listen to lenny

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Yeah, Enemy and Prisoners.

Don't listen to lenny

Wat why

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Oh because I’m not a Prisoners fan. Maybe.

[Mickey]

I saw a tweet the other day that said something like "all those years trying to sell Affleck as a leading man, when he's at his best when he's playing weirdos, villains, and sad sacks." I think there's something there

Yeah I think this checks out. He was outstanding in Gone Girl as someone whose motives you can't quite pin down, and I think he hit some similar (good!) notes in Deep Water, but the material was just a lot simpler and more heavy-handed.

[The Argonaut]

Yeah, Enemy and Prisoners.

Don't listen to lenny

Wat why

Those movies are worth looking at. Especially if he loved Dune and Arrival

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Oh sure. Prisoners had things going for it, but I was disappointed a bit. Of the ones I’ve seen I’d say it’s my least favorite Villanueve.

[JuanHamm]

I'll watch Enemy tonight

[tree_]

weird movie, but i recall liking it

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Same. I’d like to watch again

[JuanHamm]

I'll watch Enemy tonight

Lenny has demanded I watch Nocturnal Animals tonight, so Enemy will have to wait.

oh that movie's a hilarious, raucous good time.. prepare to laugh your ass off
