When I saw the first one I hadn't been in a relationship in a long time and really hadn't had any substantial relationships at all. I'm sure I can enjoy these movies so much more now that I've been married for 82 years.

The second one is my favorite one. It's also the most technically impressive -- while there are certainly some edits, it's the most "single moment/tracking shot" of the three, in that it basically follows them for 90 minutes uninterrupted.

I was just recently separated and we saw with my ex the first two movies...my separation got really ugly. Really fucked up. And that fight in the third one...kinda mirrored whatever happened with her. It was pretty amazing.

The fight is so well written, so real, so human....it moved me.

Great movie.

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.

Hmm...Not trying to pry about your breakup, but my memory is that their fight isn't particularly groundbreaking; rather, it's downright familiar in how they both seem sort of bored by their relationship (that "kissy kissy sucky sucky" line stuck in my memory more than anything).

Had never heard of that, but it sounds like a fun, pulpy movie perfect for a solo late night.
