Sleepwalk With Me is glorious! I'll definitely give the new one a watch.The Argonaut wrote:Mike Birbiglia has a new movie out. His first, Sleepwalk with Me, was something of a masterpiece. The newest is called Don't Think Twice, and I enjoyed it. It wasn't trememdous, but it had a good heart and is worth a look.

This will be one of of those weird convergences where im right, like I always am, and you're unable to admit it.
I'm betting you won't even watch it cos I recommended it.

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.

It looks like the perfect movie for people who watched Her and thought "yes, I need more movies about sad ineffectual white guys with bad moustaches looking for love"

I liked Her quite a bit. The Lobster is nothing like it and, I think, far better.theplatypus wrote:It looks like the perfect movie for people who watched Her and thought "yes, I need more movies about sad ineffectual white guys with bad moustaches looking for love"

I haven't watched it but the trailer looks good aside from the somewhat silly conceit

It reminds me of the stuff people come up with in a hurry during the workshop section of a creative writing class. Ridley Boyega are gone and no Kenobi film so.

How about -get this- alien ghosts! They're aliens, but they're also ghosts, and also they are from the 1800s, but they can't eat vegetables.

Re: What movies are you watching?
The Lobster sucked. My wife liked it, though. I stand by my initial assessment.
But I grew to appreciate Dogtooth after reading an analysis my wife wrote, so maybe she'll analyze this so I can appreciate it.
(Probably not.)
