I was so excited for Synecdoche, but didn't like it very much. Maybe my expectations were too high.

I was so excited for Synecdoche, but didn't like it very much. Maybe my expectations were too high.

It's not meant to be fun entertainment like most movies; it's meant to make you think about and swim in feelings of hopelessness, loss, inevitability, in a strange universe in which your house can actually be on fire if your relationships are hopeless and all is lost. Definitely not a "good" time. It's no Mad Max.

[BurtReynolds]

it's too long.

Painfully. My wife couldn't make it 30 minutes.

[BurtReynolds]

At least it wasn't Antkind long. That was a tedious experience.

Has anyone ever seen St. Elmo's Fire? I don't think I ever saw it. I don't think anyone has ever seen it.

nobody has ever seen it

[The Argonaut]

I was always under the impression that it didn't actually exist. An urban legend sort of a thing

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.

Brings me right back to my video store days. Enjoyed the original Sex and Death on the Cheap articles so looking forward to this.

St. Elmo's Fire is an abomination.

Remember when Guy Pearce was a huge movie star for about 5 years?

LA Confidential, Ravenous, Memento, Monte Cristo, Time Machine... Then he just kind of disappeared. What happened?

[Jorge]

It stretches a little bit past that. He was the bad guy in a Marvel movie, and then Alien: Covenant... and then yeah, a bunch of obscure or Australian movies

I love The Proposition

How has Hollywood not shit out a bad remake of They Live by now?

[bart]

Because now nobody would understand why the Roddy Piper and Keith David characters don’t immediately sell out humanity

[BurtReynolds]

Part of me thinks it's a great movie to remake, even though it couldn't be done well by current Hollywood, but then again, maybe it's too reliant on the dopey charm that can't be replicated.

I hate how nobody in movies uses phone cases.

[doug rr]
