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.

Wth bro. You know this is straight out of lethal weapon right?

It's a comedic exaggeration of a common trope, it's the parody that the scenes in Cr33d reminded me of

There's a pretty crucial difference but I don't want to explain how or else you'll cry about spoilers for 6 months

It's not perfect, sure, but it's far better than one would expect 'Rocky IX directed by the most handsome man on the planet' to be. It's good!

[VinylGuy]

man, you are giving me second thoughts about not going to see creed 3 in the theatre.

I love Rocky 4 for all its ridiculousness

[Jorge]

I had a great time. It's true that it's a little dour and self-serious but it delivers on the drama.

[wease]

I’ve not seen the last Rocky or any of the Creeds. But I really want to.

[VinylGuy]

Finally watched Red Rocket. Phenomenal. I’m rooting for Sean Baker so hard.

i recently did a rewatch and loved it again. And yes Sean is one of my favs these days.

I started Creed II the other day and wasn't feeling it so stopped after about 10 minutes.

I guess you could say you threw in the towel.

haha thanks buddy

[epilogue]

White Noise.

Why did everyone hate this again? I thought it was fantastic. Driver is just unfuckwithable here. He's easily the heir apparent to the Day Lewis/Streep tier. He's just unreal good.

[Jorge]

I didn't hate it

[lennytheweedwhacker]

Hot off it’s Oscar victories, local theaters are showing Everything Anybody All at One Time this weekend and next week. I’m looking forward to it, despite Jorge’s abject hatred.

[Jorge]

I gave it a 5.5 out of 10. That is nowhere near abject hatred level
