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.

OG, trying to see what all the fuss is about. This movie sucks.

[Jorge]

Point Break is good

[tree_]

oh ok

[tree_]

ok it's ironically entertaining, like MacGruber

[Farmer John]

MacGruber is meant to be sincerely enjoyed, without affectation.

Finally got to watch Parthenope last week.
For a movie about the passage of time and memories, the one thing you come out learning is that Italians talk really fast.
Will definitely re-watch because there's a whopping amount of eye candy you miss while reading subtitles.

2010: The Year We Make Contact

Dang, Roy Scheider's wife in this (Madolyn Smith Osborne) is super hot. Wonder why she never became a star.

[The Argonaut]

I saw Mulholland Drive at the local cinema today and I have nothing to say about the film that hasn't been said a thousand times before, but I will share three interactions I overheard on the way out of the theatre.

1. As soon as the movie ended, a male voice a little behind me said quietly "I don't think I get it".

2. In the lobby, a woman standing in line for concessions says loudly to her companion "I don't think I know what that movie is." Then loudly announced to the crowd ambling out of the movie in her direction "What is Mulholland Drive about?". A truly funny question

3. The two young women in front of me walking to the parking lot, one of whom was wearing a green "Fleet Foxes" baseball cap. "I'll be honest, I couldn't follow it at all. At a certain point, I was just all vibes."

Oh, and 4, mid-movie, in the scene right after the dimension-shift-dream-end-reality-change whatever where there is a bunch of jump cuts and linearity of emotion and costume and motivation is all getting jumbled around, someone behind me said "What is going on?" quite exasperatedly

I think all four of these moments were rather charming. And I certainly didn't understand that movie the first time I saw it and before I read interpretations, so I'm certainly not judging any of these folks. I like them all

[lennytheweedwhacker]

lol @ #2...I've only seen it once and definitely struggled with it. I'm sure i'll give it another go one day.

[BurtReynolds]

I think I got the gist of it the first time, but not the specifics.
