Reply to Why did Faye Dunaway's career not surge after she won the Oscar for NETWORK? by Lili_Danube
Her career already surged after Bonnie & Clyde, and you can only have so many.

Thank you for your courage.
> I’m genuinely confused on why people like these kinds of movies, when there’s more upbeat inspiring movie flicks... Honestly movies in my opinion should have a positive influence on people, they should really inspire people to chase after their dreams and to be hopeful.
Lmao.
> The world honestly isn’t a bad place.
ROFLMAO

Reply to comment by Lili_Danube in "TÁR" had everything to be unforgettable: Cate Blanchett as an amoral composer? How can you have that and make a movie as boring as "TÁR" turned out to be? by Lili_Danube
Watching a movie and having it hold your attention are two entirely separate processes, and based on your post, I'm not surprised you conflate the difference.

I find it ironic you list your art-house bona-fides in an attempt to bolster your credibility, then instead of offering what might resemble an actual argument, you just whine a lot.

Seen those, and I love Tar as well. Funny how that works.

Yes, my username is what it is, but I also love a good gross-out comedy. Jackass Forever was one of my favorite films last year :)

Counterpoint: I also saw Cocaine Bear yesterday, and I'd pay to have those 95 minutes of my life back.

Reply to In a crunch for time so I need opinions, should I watch Infinity Pool or Women Talking? by bovely_argle-bargle
Infinity Pool.
> I heard that Women Talking was a good movie.
Personally, I hated it. Preachy, boring, and it looks terrible.

I think some folks eye-rolled at the final scene since it's a little schmaltzy.

People who are inflexible make good villains in this regard. Nurse Ratchet comes immediately to mind.

You admit you didn't finish the film, so your opinion here is worse than useless.

Oh, I was merely insinuating your dismissal of the film isn't as impressive or damning as you meant it to be.

Most streaming documentaries nowadays. They like to pad out true crime stories into nonfiction miniseries, when a feature-length film is enough time to tell the story.

Reply to Is there a 2023 equivalent of BYThings? by Bebop0420
I doubt it.
BYT evolved from a specific group of Xennials hanging out on 14th Street and Adams Morgan in the early/mid-2000s. The whole point was the parties looked hip and exclusive, so when you got your picture taken and posted on the site the following Monday or whatever, it was exciting (crucially, this was also before smartphones).
Nowadays folks are posting FROM the events as they're happening, which effectively decentralized this kind of FOMO content on TikTok or whatever.
