I mean, I could have just assumed that myself.🤣

What's the alternative?

Alright, let's play: which character do you guys relate to most?

If I actually had a functioning brain, I’d probably be the guy from that spider story. I love how he outsmarted that mindless bureaucracy to get out of a corner.

If I weren't such an emotional wreck, I’d be the bride from the wedding story.

I definitely wouldn't be that Pastor guy from the first tale.

Under the right circumstances, I could see myself as any of them. I’ve got those traits buried somewhere, just on a much smaller scale.
That's probably why I'm so boring.😛

Plane crashes, bombs, bribing witnesses, framing innocent people, and someone acting like a total jerk at a wedding...

Bold topics and an even bolder approach.
Original and powerful.

Anything can happen in real life🙂
It probably has already happened, just with a few tweaks to the plot.

I dig how this strips away the mask on human nature in our boring, rule-obsessed world.
One tiny little thing sets off a landslide and everything just goes to hell.
It’s basically just proof of how people rise and fall, depending on their luck.

That's the kind of wedding I’d actually show up for.🙂
They’re basically just two peas in a pod.🙂

AMC Theatres

Yeah. That first story feels almost prophetic. It would’ve been funnier if we weren't dealing with actual plane crashes in the present day.
Crime of passion is top-tier. It shows how one tiny stupid mistake can spiral into something horrific. Plus, we all lose our minds in traffic anyway.

The wedding was pure romance.

I totally felt for the bomber when he tells the officer he’s just a cog in the machine, and then realizing the guy working for the criminal is just as guilty. I can't stand public service and their damn mindless rules. Sometimes I just snap and go off on them.

That penultimate one with the car wreck felt a little off. The kid needed more screen time.

Basic info on the movie:
Cast: Liliana Ackerman, Luis Manuel Altamirano García, Alejandro Angelini
Director: Damián Szifrón
Producers: Agustín Almodóvar, Pedro Almodóvar, Esther García
Screenplay: Damián Szifrón

The stories were actually great. They really stick with you.

The bomb scene and the wedding were my favorites.

Anyone want to chat about it?🙂

And even if the world flips upside down and that actually becomes a thing, you wouldn't notice since you clearly haven't even heard of a C-section yet.😉

My brain and my hips will stay perfectly intact.😉

Donna Taylor68 said:First off, I totally get not wanting kids. I respect everyone's choices—we don't all need to be parents.
Here’s my deal: up until I was 25, I was convinced I’d never want them. Honestly? I couldn't stand the thought of messing up my life for some brats. But once I hit 25, it clicked that I’d probably end up having kids eventually, even if "I'm still young, have my whole life ahead of me, it's just not the right time yet". By 29, I decided it was finally time. 😬So what changed? I spent about six years living with my boyfriend, basically just living for ourselves—indulging in every little kink and luxury we could afford. We lived pretty damn good. It was pure hedonism, and we were loving every second of it. Then one day it just hit me: this is great, but is this really what I want for the rest of my life? Is this enough to fill the next several decades? For me, the answer was a hard no.
Bottom line: it’s fine if you don't want kids, but just keep in mind that you might change your mind down the road.😉

God, this is such a wrapped-up cliché: "you'll see, everyone wants kids eventually." You sound like that lady from the earlier posts.
Just because you wrap something up in ten sentences doesn't mean your intent isn't obvious.

Obviously, people change their minds about everything. You don't need to lecture them like it's some groundbreaking revelation that nobody has ever considered before.

You aren't sharing this to encourage reflection; you're doing it to flex your own moral superiority.

In the name of God and having blind faith in yourself (while hiding behind a bunch of prejudices), some of the worst atrocities in history have taken place.

We can actually curb our own biases just by calling them out when they happen.
There's a huge difference between past experience, raw prejudice, and an actual new situation.
Sure, experience helps, and we’ll probably be right most of the time if we use it to judge a new scenario. But sometimes we screw up big time because instead of seeing things for what they really are, we just force everything into old, dusty boxes.
It takes a lot of headspace and staying chill to make sure our biases don't ruin our lives, but rather actually make them better.

Honestly, I’m kind of digging Dubioza.
They’ve got this fresh energy going on.

Gary Palmer8 said:Lol, Sars is actually pretty refreshing; I guess some people just can't handle where they're from. Pathetic...

Let's not hide behind nationalism. That's getting old fast.
It's just a matter of taste.
To me, the band sucks because they're just a sugary, cheap imitation.

Sars is just a cheap imitation of an imitation.
Their whole vibe is ripped from Red Hot Chili Peppers, they're trying way too hard to mimic some flying squadron, and honestly? It all sounds like watered-down bubblegum pop.

Why was that movie only in theaters for a few days back in early December?

The forums are still full of ads for it, too. What good is that if I can't actually go see it?
I finally have some free time and I’m dying to watch it, but there's zero opportunity.

Does anyone know if there are any more screenings coming up?

I haven't really gone for the hot guys; I usually end up with the ones who actually treat me right and happen to be great in bed.

You eventually just get used to how you look.
It’s pretty pointless to stress over the whole "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" thing.
Real beauty comes down to symmetry.
Luckily, most people don't judge everyone they meet based solely on their looks.
Your attitude and even your scent can change the whole vibe.

As long as you're healthy and life isn't falling apart, don't sweat the basic stuff. Fix what needs fixing, then move on.

Look at this bunch of Hansel and Gretel wannabes here.😛

Work 12-hour shifts on your feet for at least three days straight.
If you still can't crash at night after that, then you’ve got a real problem.
