When describing a movie, why do they say it's like, for instance "Jaws meets Forrest Gump". Like, can movies even "meet" each other? Such a weird concept.

[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.

I mean, I'd be fine if they say something like "Jaws combined with Forrest Gump". It's the word "meets" that really makes my head spin. Like are the movies walking around and going to bars and fucking stuff. Just weird.

Now imagine if Jaws was literally combined with Forrest Gump. Half shark, half Tom Hanks

Sundays are movie nights in our household, I picked Austin Powers for my 14 and 12 year olds. Man, aside from Elizabeth Hurley being an absolute smokeshow, that movie did not hold up well at all.

Yeah, bloody dreadful. I thought that shit was hilarious when I was a kid.

How embarrassing.

I was totally with you guys, and thought that a lot of the negative "Leave Marilyn alone!" reviews were just another iteration of Tumblr discourse for people with simple brains, but:

Blonde announces that Marilyn is pregnant for the first time with one hilariously heavy-handed set of visuals. (Sadly, these over-the-top sequences are rarely amusing at all.) Little animated sperms race around the screen, swimming toward the beckoning ovum, begging to be inseminated. The result: a computer-generated fetus. Instead of giving her a swollen belly, the film portrays pregnant Marilyn by cutting to shots of the humanoid clump of cells growing inside of her several times.

[BurtReynolds]

ah yes, the fetal gaze.
