Oh, and A Man Called Ove the night before Sicario. Again, prime. Any other suggestions from there?
How was A Man Called Ove? I read the book and really loved it.
I think it depends on the translation of the subtitles. I watched two versions and the subtitles were different in both. The part at the train station when Ove makes a grammar 'joke'? Literal translations don't work for that, you need the nuance for the joke to work.

Still an excellent movie though. One of my favorite books, and I can't wait until Hollywood screws the remake up.
:lol:

But maybe they'll get Jack Nicholson to star!
You are an unkind person.

He's a little too old for Hollywood, they'd probably go Will Ferrell or something.
I was referencing the Toni Erdmann remake that Jack's starring in.
OIC.
I'm fucking 37 years old. You're gonna have to explain that to me.

My wife loved the book, and she liked the movie. Since it is a foreign film, I feel like I've read it, too.

Ha! But seriously, there are so many good parts in the book that didn't make it into the movie.

Came home last night to find the fam watching "Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead". Jesus what a horrible movie. But David Duchovny as Bruce was hilarious. Not the character or really anything he did, just looking at that hair.

The siblings were all shitheads and then suddenly at the end of the movie they're all awesome. I couldn't believe anyone's motivation.

This brother in particular:

ugh.

The payoff of "she's going to design something and save the day" took way too long. Felt like the movie could have been shortened by 10-15 minutes, and this is with my missing the first half hour.

I was with him all the way through the real estate and McDonald's corporation stuff, but I got off the train when
Spoiler: show
he delivered that "fuck you" speech to Dick McDonald in the restroom. Good, quotable speech...but douchey move.
Also

terrible husband. Not even talking about the divorce settlement, because that was fairly understandable given how much he personally invested in building that company, but the whole mortgage the house and become distant from your supportive wife thing? Come on.

Baby Driver.

Fun movie. The main kid reminded me of Finch Fucker from American Pie.

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.

Ike Barinholtz is hilarious in that movie. "MaMA!"

This was awesome to see in a theater. Could be De Niro's best performance.

Also, Drafthouse screwed up our order (again!), so we ended up getting our food and drinks comped.

Not immediately, but I didn't expect it to. She was sick all day, so I mowed the lawn, fed the kids their meals, and went grocery shopping. Watching this movie was the cherry on top of a masterful day of building equity.
