Has anyone here actually seen this movie yet?
It looks like it's playing at AMC from October 20th to the 26th... but why only until the 26th? Is this some kind of special limited preview before it gets a "regular" wide release later on?
Thanks! 🙂
Yeah, I caught this one years ago and just rewatched it yesterday. Honestly, it’s such a masterpiece. I remember the first time I saw it, it hit me harder than almost anything else I've ever watched—the only real exception being The Sixth Sense. In my humble opinion, this is the one movie where Rourke absolutely crushed his performance. And De Niro? He is perfection as Lou Cypher. A total five-star experience! 👍 p.s. Does anyone know if they have this on DVD at the local video rental places?
was that actually Peter Sellers?
But wait, why on earth was Gene Wilder left out?!

Don't you ever get the feeling that civilization has spent centuries carving us into two separate camps—men and women, pets and owners—creating these traditional "trenches" we all live in? It feels like we spend our daily lives looking for excuses and justifications within those virtual battle lines, almost refusing to see people as actual individuals first. Haven't we all played a part in widening that gap at some point? Whether it’s guys talking about women as if they're nothing more than objects of desire, or a mother telling her daughter that every man on the planet is just a jerk. But let's be honest, aren't we all just a little bit self-absorbed? If we're all driven by that ego, why can't we use it to actually perceive others? Why can't we accept that every single person—ourselves included—is their own center of the universe? And isn't there something much more beautiful about orbiting someone else's world for a while, giving them all your focus and affection, rather than constantly waiting for the whole world to start revolving around us? Maybe it’s just a sign of how much we lack flexibility and tolerance, or perhaps it's just proof of how truly solitary we all are underneath it all.
coastalorca3 said:No, seriously though—how do you actually escape?
I’m just done overthinking everything lately. It’s exhausting. Plus, I’m planning on staying sober.
Honestly, laziness is my best friend right now; I’m not ready to give that up. Please don't tell me I need to become a workaholic. I’m just so sleepy...
The internet is its own kind of escape. But how do you escape the actual urge to run away?
I don't know why, but I get this feeling that previous generations were somehow obsessed with finding their "lost identity," whereas we... we just want to escape somewhere (maybe even from ourselves). We want to lose that sense of "self" and just melt into the background, ideally in massive, multicultural, melting-pot cities or states. Or am I totally off base?
