What movies are you watching?

[LoathedVermin72]

I tried watching the movie Little Monsters the other night, but I turned it off as soon as Howie Mandel's character showed up. I believe that's the first time I've ever stopped watching a movie due to a character introduction. I imagine I felt what most people feel when they watch Jar-Jar.

We are your friends is worth a watch too.

It's a film.

That is pretty generous calling it that, dime. Third worst grossing "film" ever. Why do I want to watch two hours of Efron and his friends bro-ing it out and throwing a party?

[LoathedVermin72]

I want to see it, dime.

[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.

Really? Didn't know that. Just a pal recommended it cos it's quite similar to the party scene we were involved in for a long time. We both agreed it's too much the happy ending. If that had been a European film it would have been a lot more truthful. Grim even.
Still I enjoyed it. Only knew the effron(tery) guy towards the end.

He played the guy named Cole, apparently.

Funny thing. I'm never able to remember characters names in films while I'm watching them.
Maybe I should use that as a guide to whether the film is good or not.


(Still doesn't know any of the new characters names in Star Wars-force awakens. And I loves Star Wars)

Partly though, dime, to be fair, all of the new characters in TFA have absurd names.

That's a fair point.

Will they become household names and by-words like yoda and Vader though?

We still remember jar jars name. And Qui Gons

Oh yeah, they will be household eventually. But most of us will need to see the movie and have that context before we can remember those names.

Watched Inside Out last night. Surprisingly abstract for a kid's movie; the part where Joy and Sadness become these Picasso-pointelist representations of themselves was pretty far out.

I loved the movie's concept of how memories and feelings are stored inside of a person. But I also felt like the plot was a little obtuse, and I wish we saw more of Riley, rather than such a strong focus on the characters inside of her.

agreed

As the father of a 9 year old girl. That movie tore me up.

I think it would benefit from multiple viewings, or maybe a directors cut. I doubt I will ever devote another 2 hours to it though.

Watched the entourage movie.

It was just a long episode.
