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'd like to try American Hustle again, but none of the ones after looked remotely interesting.

Silver Linings Playbook and American Hustle are both on my top ten lists for their year.

Although I haven’t seen either in about 9 years. So we’ll see how they do now. Great start to SLP so far.

Rewatched American Hustle a couple months back and really enjoyed it. Lots of fun, ridiculous moments

I've been trying to re-watch Avatar today, in case I decide to go see the new one. I have the same hangups as I did when seeing it in the theater. I'm not sure I'm going to finish this.

Not a giant screen, not in 3D, Avatar is forgettable. I assume the same is true of the new one.

Maybe. I'm not big on 3D, and ain't no dang authority on the revolutionary technical achievements, but I don't think that will be enough for me to enjoy sitting through it.

I don't disagree. I have no interest in Avatar 2. But the only thing I remember loving about Avatar 1 was how brilliant the 3D stuff was.

Top 10 Movies that I saw in 2022:

Nope
The Banshees of Inisherin
Competencia Oficial
Everything Everywhere All At Once
Babylon
The Menu
The Fabelmans
The Batman
Don’t Worry Darling
Vengeance


There are so many movies that I didn't get to see. I'm sure this list will change tremendously over the next few years as I fill in the gaps.

I don't think I saw it in 3D, so yeah not saying that wouldn't engage me more. Non 3D at least I just don't feel as immersed in the Pandora world itself as I feel I should.

I really want to go to the theater while out for the break, and other than Babylon i'm not the least bit interested in anything else out.
