What movies are you watching?

I liked the first half better than the second. Too many lawyers and greed.

I mean, that's literally the message of the movie.

[Anders]

Yes, sad.

[epilogue]

Yes, sad.

I agree. It's not a fun movie to watch. Though, Driver is outstanding as usual.

[Anders]

I love watching him. My favorite part of the movie was more or less any scene he was in.

totally agree

[E.H. Ruddock]

Moulin Rouge

[Orpheus]

So Joker was fantastic. What a fucking performance. Well shot as well. Didn't know whether to laugh or cry at half of it. Very impressed. Reminded me a little bit of Mother! in how quickly things unravel at the end.

Hustlers was really good

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.

nah

ok

the stakes were so low! "One girl was sentenced to six months in prison and the other had to serve probation for two years." wtf?!

I don’t think criminal punishment was the point of any of it? It’s a movie about capitalism that follows complicated, morally ambiguous characters. It’s a movie that leaves you unsure of how to feel about anyone in it or anything they did. It’s very Wolf of Wall Street-esque in its mix of murky, uncomfortable social commentary and characters that are often “fun.” I LIVE for this gray area.

Also beautifully directed, filmed, and acted, with some fascinating sound design choices near the end.

Joker.

I thought this was awesome, but it helped that I was in the right mood to see it; could otherwise be really difficult to connect with.

This movie does not need a sequel though.

But it made a gigatonillion dollars

[VinylGuy]

Jay and Silent Bob Reboot.

Embarrassing? Awkward? I couldnt even finish this garbage....the¨score¨? the acting? My god.

[epilogue]

Hustlers is brilliant. Joker to me is kinda like There Will Be Blood; not a brilliant film, but a brilliant performance. Jay and Silent Bob Reboot I have not seen and am shocked Guy saw it. Proud of you, Guy.

J&SBR is not good, really not good. But there was one joke that I had to rewatch because it made me laugh real hard. That said, the filmmaking is super shoddy and the self-insertion and meta references went overboard into embarrassing territory.

Hustlers I haven't watched yet; I came close to watching it in an airplane three days ago but saw that it had been edited for content so decided against it

You made the right decision.
