I've already told you... you'd be much better off hiring a legitimate, reliable 😁 American 😬 instead of wasting your time with some kid 😛

The Devil in Miss Jones 👍 🙏 😁
Films from our youth.

Casey Williams9 said:I haven't seen Brazil yet, and I'm actually quite disappointed about that.
Every single time—honestly, every time I actually get the chance to watch him—something stupid happens and interrupts me.
I probably missed the mark on that one, but I’ve let this film slip past me a few times now.

There is quite a lot of noise being made regarding Brazil...
The film features several truly legendary scenes and performances...
The concept itself is interesting, but the execution feels a bit grating—it’s one of those things where you find yourself just counting down the minutes until it's over. 😁

"Good" is a relative and deeply personal concept, but...
There are those films you hear about constantly—the ones everyone insists are essential viewing—yet somehow, I still haven't sat down to watch them.

I have yet to see films like Fargo, The Big Lebowski, Citizen Kane, Underground, Lomeči val, the Kill Bill series, or Battleship Potemkin. I am sure more will come to mind. 😁

I would kindly ask everyone to please suggest some relatively well-known films here, if it isn't too much trouble. 😁 Please refrain from bringing up things like Finnish surrealism or similar concepts. 😬

Should I even bother looking for it? It isn't at my local Blockbuster (is it?), and I really don't feel like driving all over town just to track down this one movie.
Do you happen to have a copy?

Hehe, like that guy said yesterday, it isn't just a movie, it's an experience. 😎

I know you're the expert here, 😉
Go ahead, enlighten me.

I remember watching maybe the first half hour of this movie when I was just a kid before I ended up tossing it aside. 😁
Since then... I haven't revisited it, and if I recall correctly (though I haven't checked), you can't even find it in local video rental stores anymore.
That said, I am aware that within certain circles, this film is considered a bit of a cult classic 😁 but because of that... could someone please explain the appeal? What is the actual deal here? I'm trying to reconcile the film itself with all the hype surrounding it.

An ass 🤔is meant to be enjoyed 😁

I found that approach to be quite effective. Wouldn't you agree? 🙂
If I had opted for traditional therapy or something similar, do you honestly think I would have recovered this quickly? 😁

Sometimes, a bit of shock therapy is exactly what's needed to get things back on track. 👍

It’s important to mention upfront that my father is a psychiatrist.

When I was about 11 or 12 years old, I ended up catching something called beta-hemolytic strep twice in a very short window.
The illness itself isn't dangerous if you catch it early—usually just a ten-day course of penicillin shots—but the whole routine of visiting the doctor every single day is a massive hassle. To make a long story short...

After those experiences, I became obsessed with hygiene, specifically washing my hands. It sounds crazy, but I was washing them 20 or 30 times a day... naturally, my parents noticed.
One day, as I was walking out of the bathroom, my dad, the psychiatrist 😁 said something along the lines of, "If you don't stop washing your hands every five minutes, I'm going to give you something to really cry about." 👍
I was completely cured that very same day. 😁
Thanks, Dad. 👍

If I had been living in the US and had parents who were... I don't know, totally clueless... 😁 some psychiatrist or psychologist would have made a fortune off me, and who knows if I ever would have actually recovered.

You’re a good man, but you’re being a little reckless here. Of course you need to put together something special for your 2.5-year anniversary 😁, and you really need to carve out more time for her. I know work has been piling up lately, but if you actually care about her—which it seems like you do—then 37 miles doing nothing is basically an insult.
As Michael Fox46 said, you have to fight for love. You really do. Sure, sometimes those battles feel lost before they even begin, but they don't always have to be. Once you've done everything within your power, regardless of how things turn out, at least you can have peace of mind.

I didn't feel the need to set off any fireworks myself, but honestly, I didn't miss them one bit.😁 👍 🙏

It was a great group, everyone was incredibly sharp, and we managed to take home three awards. I finally made it back home by 9 PM.😵

I’m really hoping this whole year stays as celebratory as the New Year's festivities.

And of course—wishing everyone nothing but the best in the coming year.

I came across an interesting quote recently regarding how we manage our lives. It goes something like this:

Life is like a rushing river. You can try to swim against the current and drown. You can let the water carry you wherever it wants, or you can swim with the flow and steer yourself toward where you actually want to go.

Gary Sanchez said:I could really go for some donuts right now.

Honey, you’ll have to bake those donuts for me!👍

@Olivia Lopez41—you're posting under a clone account 👎 🙂

It’s no surprise you’re feeling the pressure.😁

Well, you've finally decided to join us.
I have to say, you've been acting pretty foolish up until now. 🙂

lepa.pametna@neudata said:"It actually happened" WHERE?

Wow. It’s incredible how in just a few hours, a serious discussion about Troy turned into silentpilot6 rambling about being a "victim" of some party (his blatant admission regarding his preference for a ménage à trois! 😲), Kiki's obsession with the sexual orientation of one of the film's main protagonists, and Richard Hernandez13's nostalgia for Santa Claus. One has to wonder if the ancient Greeks packed an "intergalactic version" of the Trojan War into their stories long before they eventually reached the unfortunate Homer after four or five centuries! 🙄

On the other hand, some archaeologists who conducted excavations at the site believed to be the location of Troy have determined that there is not a single piece of concrete evidence that the events described by the aforementioned Homer actually took place!

Therefore...

👍
Exactly.
Man, I'm only just now thinking about what probably went down in Troy.
It was likely just 15 or 20 guys gathering to raid a village because a guy from a rival settlement married one of their best women. And you can't let that slide! 😠 🙂 Plus, she had been involved with the main woman of the village before moving on to someone else. You can't have that!
So they spent a week or two fighting with sticks and hoes.
Then someone remembered to bring horses—so the brave guys from Village G managed to jump over the reed fence of Village T while riding them.
And that was really it.
Then the stories started spreading through word of mouth, fueled by the wild imaginations of generations of drunk, talkative villagers, until it finally reached the pen of the famous lover of male physiques—Homer. And thus, the legend was born. 👍

Kiki said:Hector's wife is a Lesbian.
She lives with Fion Shaw. Right in my neighborhood.

You really have to ruin my dreams, don't you?🙂

She's a Lesbian because she hasn't tried me yet.😁 👍

the witch said:But look—that scene where beautiful Briseis (absolute creeps from every nation—including the whole silentpilot6 crew! 😁 —get it together) laments how, to paraphrase, many women who saw their husbands off to battle that morning won't see them return, only for our hero to snap back, "Perhaps your brother can comfort them. I hear he's good at charming other men's wives..." 😂 —is, whether you want to admit it or not, simply c-u-l-t---l-y cool!!!

What is everyone saying about me here? 😲
I said a long time ago that Hector's wife is by far my favorite female character in the film.👍
I’d trade her for those other two in a heartbeat.

Anyway, if anyone wants to hang out in good company, just click the link.

It’s impossible to just pick and choose what works. If they had given every single character the attention they actually deserved, we would have walked into the theater on Thursday and wouldn't have left until tomorrow afternoon.

Why wasn't Achilles portrayed as gay? What's your take on that?
The movie clearly wasn't made specifically for the hardcore American fans. 😁

That said, from start to finish, the film was genuinely fun. I loved the characters, and while the dialogue isn't exactly Oscar-worthy, I've seen countless movies with much worse writing. The music and atmosphere were 👍, the battles and set design were 🙏, and the songs were 🙏 🙏

What more could I possibly ask for from a movie?
Like I mentioned before: when I want deep entertainment, heavy thinking, or to discover some "great life truths," I pick up a book. I go to the cinema to have a good time—and with Troy, I certainly had a blast. 🙂
