What movies are you watching?

i'm calling the ending right now: the mother sits outdoors at an italian bistro, believing the babadook to be dead. from across the patio, the image of a familiar face catches her eye. she sees the babadook sitting with her son at a distant table. she smiles slightly as the babadook lifts his glass of fernet branca for a toast.

you should be working in Hollywood.

What's the scariest movie you've ever seen, Dev?

Hard to answer. Jumanji and Blade 2 scared the shit out of me when I was a kid. I remember being traumatized for the duration of those movies. Evil Dead was pretty freaky.

The perks of being a wallflower

Like it so far

[LoathedVermin72]

-Ruggles of Red Gap (1935) Funny and touching, with a great performance from Charles Laughton. This really should be more widely acknowledged as a classic comedy.

-Alice in Wonderland (1933) I believe this is the first live-action, feature adaptation. It's very weird, very absurd, and occasionally very creepy and upsetting. In other words, I really liked it. And Gary Cooper, W.C. Fields, and Cary Grant all make appearances!

Nightcrawler. It was good but maybe I was expecting something less ridiculous, because this movie was highly fucking ridiculous. Lol at the local news ever showing that footage.

Gylenhall was fun to watch though.

Didn't finish Perks of being a wallflower..i'll go back later i guess..


did watch and thoroughly enjoy The Riot Club. Posh English college snobs in a secret club, being debaucherous and murderous and getting away with it cos they're posh. Based on an actual secret club that's had a lot of of its members go on to be British Prime Ministers & power mongers/captains of industry..
well worth a watch.

Did you find the characters to be poorly written? I just couldn't suspend my disbelief watching that movie. No group of human beings is like that.

Also, Emma Watson being an indie chick and not knowing Bowie's "Heroes" is unforgivable. That sounds overly pretentious, but it's true.

[dimejinky99]

Well i'm only at the bit where the girl he doesnt like is giving him the sex..i like the main character, he's likeable..

but so far it's a bit wonder years, yeah..

[dimejinky99]

ok well having finished i guess i can see what you mean, but just cos you or I didnt have friends lke that at that important age, doesnt mean nobody did. I know a lot of friends of mine have close social groups like that who they've known since they were in diapers and do actually have those bonds and experiences similar to those in the films...lucky bastids..

Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House (1948). The first 10-15 are virtuoso filmmaking. The rest is funny and enjoyable, with a few noteworthy moments. Adam Sandler should remake it.

who would be rm's mr. blandings in a happy madison reboot?

i made it through about half an hour of upstream color the other night before turning it off and watching some movie starring ann hathaway i'd never heard of before called one day.

jesus what a disturbing film - upstream color, not the other one

[epilogue]

Upstream Color is one of my absolute favorite films.

You don't make any sense. How that movie is not right up your alley is just..... I just can't wrap my head around it.

Upstream Color is one of my absolute favorite films.

i turned it off where she started trying to chop her arm open with a cleaver

Upstream Color is one of my absolute favorite films.

Oh man. You gotta stick with it. Totally worth it. You didn't give the thing a chance.
