I need to see Possession, keep forgetting.
We started this last night. Sometimes we have to watch movies in chunks, and this one we'll likely finish tonight.dad wrote:About to start Heat.

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.
its a masterpiece. A did a recent rewatch because im reading the new book that came out, that starts right when the movie finishes but also goes to 1988 and i think it will finish in 2002.dad wrote:We started this last night.

This is one of those movies I'm seeing for the first time, and I have to say...I'm disappointed it's taken me so long to watch it. It's very good. A couple of lulls and/or needless moments, but overall a great flick. Can't wait to finish it.
i liked it enough, but it was just too long and eventually i got bored with the idea of the multiple universes and storylines. I think its more of the cool movie everyone wants to love but not an actually good movie.tree_ wrote:Watched Everything Everywhere All at Once last night. Was kind of irritated by the movie about halfway through, but by the end I was actually crying by how poignant, moving it was. Kind of an incredible movie. Whoever wrote it was definitely on drugs. Kind of surprised it got made.

okay, we finished it this evening. i totally get what you mean, and i completely expected more from the ending, and watching it the way we did...i guess i get what i deserve. i still enjoyed it. the last big action sequence before they went their separate ways was wild and well done.tragabigzanda wrote:Do not open until after you're done watching:dad wrote:We started this last night.

it's been a few days since i made those comments about The Godfather, and I'm willing to admit I went into that one with high expectations, and that's on me. I went into Heat with zero expectations, and I enjoyed it. Go figure.Jorge wrote:Glad you liked it. You are 1 for 2 in your assessment of widely recognized masterpieces
that's another one of those that my wife and I have never seen, but it's on our list. It's also one of those that I've heard glowing reviews of and will go in with no expectations.lennytheweedwhacker wrote:What do you think about Goodfellas, dad?
