It’s both, really. 😁

I sat through the whole thing last night. 🙂
I’m honestly at a loss for words regarding this film. It’s heavy on the philosophy and symbolism, all that contemplation on the emptiness of existence. There are certainly some beautiful shots of Los Angeles and lovely women scattered throughout...

Sometimes there isn't even a specific reason you can point to. After a while, you just realize it’s not working.

Edit: In this particular case, the situation is pretty transparent. Right from the start, she made it clear she wasn't looking for anything serious—just something casual while they were together. He agreed to those terms at the time. But eventually, what started as a crush turned into actual love on his end, whereas for her, it never went that far. Looking back, he's realized the responsibility for where things stand lies squarely with him.

I can't say I'm an expert, but I happened to catch him on TV once by pure chance, and I actually thought he was quite good. 😁

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang is fantastic. This looks like it might be heading in that same direction.

It looks like whatever you tried to download has probably been deleted. 🙂

Where did you end up watching it?

I finally finished watching that documentary. It had its premiere in New York just the other day.

Hands down, my favorite movie.

I can't quite recall the specifics regarding that shootout.

He opted for a Buñuel-style ending—not exactly the happiest outcome, but certainly not without merit.

As for me, I honestly couldn't tell you. 😛

I just know that the way it wrapped up didn't sit right with me at all.

Force Majeure (2014)

A really solid film, though I have to admit the final few minutes feel incredibly silly.

Bradley Cooper will have a few scenes, roughly about as much screen time as we saw in the IMDb trailer.

Heaven forbid a woman actually develops some muscle. She might as well be a man at that point.

Is it just a collection of tired clichés, or is there actually something worth watching?
Apologies again; if the mods decide this needs to be scrubbed, I completely understand. 👍

Here is the actual discussion thread for that film:

I happened to stumble upon PBS late last night around 1:00 AM. It was a brilliant film.

Here are a few standout lines:

I have an interesting case. I'm treating two sets of Siamese twins with split personalities. I'm getting paid by eight people.

The Ku Klux Klan, who saw Zelig as a Jew, that could turn himself into a Negro and an Indian, saw him as a triple threat.

But I've never flown before in my life, and it shows exactly what you can do, if you're a total psychotic!

I worked with Freud in Vienna. We broke over the concept of penis envy. Freud felt that it should be limited to women.

The absolute worst part of Interstellar is that five-minute sequence where some guy has to explain the entire mechanics of space travel to Cooper—the very man who was entrusted with the whole mission. To make matters even more ridiculous, he actually ends up sketching it out on paper at the end. Like, come on. Give me a break.

A decent enough movie, but nothing to write home about. A pretty thin week for cinema.

Do a little digging online to see what actually went down on the set of this movie. Apparently, Reynolds had the hardest time; he supposedly felt pretty humiliated having to act alongside some newcomer. Then there’s the subject matter itself. There are even rumors that things got heated between him and Anderson, with one story claiming he actually struck him during production.
Later on, he was pretty much dodging any interviews about the film, at least until the positive reviews started rolling in. Once those nominations for Reynolds began surfacing, he suddenly found his enthusiasm for talking about it. 🙂

A truly great film—a breath of fresh air, honestly. The sequence involving the spider was easily my favorite part, and the wedding scene was beautifully executed. 😁

8/10

Where did you all catch this one? I’ve been scouring the usual sites, but I can't find any traces of it online.
