My favorite little moment is always when the butcher finishes up and asks—is there anything else on your mind? 😂

Henry Bennett53 said:I caught it once. It was like 3 AM on a Friday night on CBS, just stumbled upon it by total accident.
I actually liked it; it’s weird and engaging, and visually it’s really striking. It’s also pretty twisted. But honestly, that’s exactly my kind of thing.

Same here, 😁

Henry Bennett53 said:Even so, the movie is just way too bizarre and unconventional for me to suggest to anyone else. You have to be incredibly careful when recommending these kinds of art films—people absolutely tore me apart back in the day when I tried suggesting stuff like Jim Jarmusch's Dead Man, Soderbergh-esque Schizopolis, or Gilliam's Brazil.
If you’re into European art cinema, go for it, but everyone else? Stay far away!

But that movie isn't even weirder than The City of Lost Children (same director), and most people actually seemed to enjoy that one. 😉

Sophia Williams said:Daryl Hannah ... I still can't help but feel bad for her.

Since you brought her up, I actually felt for her during Kill Bill Vol. 2 too, though you have to admit that scene was executed perfectly. 👍

So, I recently picked up the Alien Quadrilogy. 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 It was an absolute disaster. Honestly, I’ll never forgive myself for dropping $150 on that set.

Anyway, Norman Bates is everything to me—probably the greatest performance ever put on film.🙂

I was just scrolling through the movie list on this subforum and realized nobody here has actually mentioned Delicatessen. Has anyone else checked it out? It’s directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Caro (the minds behind >, >, and >), and honestly, it's this incredibly dark comedy shot in that signature Jeunet-esque style, featuring his usual cast of characters.

I can't recommend it enough. 😎

Honestly, this movie was a total letdown. I went in with such high expectations, but what we actually got was just... meh. Even Brad Pitt feels completely out of place in roles like this; it just doesn't sit right 👎 👎 👎

I basically just threw my money straight into the trash for this one 😢

This movie is absolutely INSANE. I actually ended up picking it up on Duno. Honestly, all of Lynch's films are just 👍 🙏

Jaws, Pirates of the Caribbean, and stuff like that 😁 Nemo 🙂

There you have it. Honestly, even Terry Wogan would’ve been left speechless, especially once that whole "voting by rank" nonsense kicked in. I mean, what is actually the point of Eurovision 😕 🙄 🙄 🙄

Second said:Look, my dear Swiss friends didn't even make it past the semifinals. They walked away with zero—and I mean absolutely nothing—points. Now they're actually sitting there debating whether it's even worth showing up for the next contest. 🙂

It’s about time they realized it. That Swiss entry was just pure, unadulterated garbage—honestly, calling it a "song" is being way too generous.

I completely lost track of time this week and realized I somehow missed the semi-finals entirely, which honestly left me feeling a bit out of the loop 😲 😲 😲

But obviously, I’ll be tuned in this Saturday (it's practically a ritual at this point) just to laugh my head off. We always get together at a friend's place to watch, and we end up absolutely losing it.

I always catch the broadcast on NBC because Dick Clark’s commentary is just so hilarious; it makes the whole experience ten times better... 😁

I honestly think it would be worth your while to dig through some of the older threads; you’ll find a massive amount of stuff regarding Paintball buried in there somewhere.

That point has been brought up more times than I can count. If you just take a second to scroll back through some of the older threads on this subforum, you'll see plenty of people saying the exact same thing 👋

Finding Nemo 🙏 👍

I was just reading the book, and honestly, that was years ago; I haven't actually sat down to watch the movie because I really don't want to ruin the experience of the book for myself.

The book is set in New York City, whereas the film takes place in the US 👎 👎 👎

Honestly, I’m just so disappointed by how much they decided to change.

I can't help but wonder what on earth they’re going to do with The Return of the King.

For those of us who actually sat down and read the books, I’m pretty convinced everyone is going to walk away feeling at least a little let down.

To me, The Two Towers book and its movie adaptation barely feel like the same story, except for the fact that they did a stellar job with Gollum.

I remember thinking the same thing during the first movie—how Boromir was this handsome blonde guy, whereas in the book he's much darker.🙄

Then you have the fact that there's no interaction between Shelob and Frodo in the second film, even though it's such a crucial part of the plot. It's the same deal with Gandalf's and Saruman's confrontation—equally important, yet completely missing from the screen. At this rate, the third movie is probably going to run for a hundred hours.

Let me just quote the opening lines of the book for you, buddy 😉 😁 so we don't end up ruining the movies for everyone else 👍

Of course the movie was total garbage 🙄 compared to the book! I honestly couldn't put the book down, whereas with the film—I found myself constantly making excuses to check what was in the fridge 😁 or just wandering off to the bathroom every five minutes.

To me, the only real difference between seeing a male or female gynecologist is that a woman might actually empathize with what you’re going through, whereas a guy just won't get it. But honestly, I’ve gone to both, and if I’m being totally candid, I actually preferred my male doctor!
