Exactly. Customs is the real headache here. It used to be easy, but they haven't let anything slide for about a year now. Total vultures...

Embrace them??? Really??? You think people want me hugging them at AMC Theatres??? Or maybe just hugging the girls??? You think I’ll score that sweet Chicago DVD then... finally learn what love is... experience the pure transparency of romantic bliss...
What am I even waiting for...😁

In my book, it’s a flawless movie overall.😉

haha..that's a good one.. I can already see them handing out luck at the grocery store checkout...🙄

I’m going to give them both a piece of my mind—the ad and that pathetic DVD can go straight to hell. Total elitists. So, couples in love get gifts? How romantic. As if being in love isn't enough, or having to deal with someone whispering plot spoilers during a movie at the AMC, now we have to reward them just because they're "so in love." What’s next? Maybe they’ll start handing out prizes to people who got dumped, or rewards for the lonely, the broke, or the poorly dressed. But no, the elites won't do that. Apparently, if you aren't part of the happy couple club, you can just rot in misery. No gifts for you. Just for the lovers. I suppose the next campaign will be "We're rich," "My dad's a billionaire," or "I have everything in life."
...
Oh, wait, what gift? Chicago... brilliant. I’d practically trade my girlfriend just to have them shove that into my hands....

Look, the Coens clearly took a gamble here. By pivoting to a standard rom-com starring massive A-listers, they were basically chasing a paycheck.
The problem? It didn't hit the box office, and people actually hated it.
By stepping away from their usual style, they lost that sharp edge and sarcasm we love. They traded in their weird, beautiful character depth for something much more bland.
In the end, it managed to alienate both the casual viewers and the die-hard fans.
...
It feels like cheap candy compared to a Coen masterpiece.

Caught this over the summer in Napa... but I’ve already posted about the soundtrack since there's already a thread going about that movie.

The only way I’m buying that is if you were wearing an X Games shirt.😬

...
Yeah, you might as well say your old man spends all day surfing the web...

Caught a screening of Motovuna this summer... though I was half-asleep by then after hitting a few too many beers at the pub...
Still, the film is expertly crafted and feels incredibly real. Of course, every "documentary"—no matter how factual it claims to be—is ultimately just a reflection of the director's own perspective and biases.
...that whole sequence with the white button base was actually pretty clever...
...
Check it out and decide for yourselves (if you think you're up for it)

I know this isn't directly about the Golden Globes, but whoever was handling the translation over at ABC really needs to be fired...

I’ve never actually been to a party where I could say the music was even decent... and honestly, I’m starting to think that might be an impossible standard to meet... which is why I just skipped out, along with avoiding teleportation and that one movie from five years ago.
...
Haha, just remembered this guy from a small town in Ohio telling me about a party where they had a folk band covering Nirvana.

Look, I know it didn't actually happen five times... it was just a figure of speech.
Anyway, I forgot to mention that Monday is family day here too, or whatever, so tickets are 16 and $4.00...
....
Either way, I think a ticket at $6.75 is pretty much the standard for us.
...
Maybe we should ask Kiki what tickets cost in Brazil, because that’s probably the only place they might be cheaper than in Miami.

Jacob Wilson50 said:$6.75? Like, 2.5 or 3 Euro?

Yeah... sure... five times cheaper... right.

Not surprising though, since you guys treat beer $17.. I've got more cash than that lying around.

Oh, great job, Doc....😍
....
I was actually wondering about that too... let's see how much those damn tickets cost...
Down in Miami:
Evening show: $6.75 (with a discount, it's $16)
Matinee: $5.25 (with a discount, it's $12😁 )
..
Man, 10 bucks!!!🙄

Aaron Gonzalez6 said:Give me a break. You can't deny those curves. People are practically drooling. The truth is, with that kind of acting talent, she would've been the top star in the Hardcore scene in no time...

You have no clue..
she knows she’s gorgeous, and that was her whole world for the first few years. She started out in those cheesy Mexican soap operas, driving her Hispanic and white co-stars crazy—though she didn't bother with the white guys; she just hooked up with a few powerful Black producers. Eventually, she got bored of just being the "pretty girl with the curves" and wanted more. She wanted to sing, so she latched onto some wealthy, unattractive guy and climbed her way to pop stardom. It was all about the circles she ran in, the type of society that decides a beautiful woman is only good for her looks. That's why she pushed to sing. But then people wanted movies, too, so she gave in. Why not? It was a lifelong dream, and it was her way of proving she was more than just a pretty face. Then she ended up with Ben Affleck because she was done with the usual crowd. You're wrong if you think she could've been a top adult film star. She isn't stupid. Those careers burn out fast and the competition is brutal; it was too big of a risk. Besides, she knew she had fans even in struggling places like certain parts of the Midwest where people don't have much. So she basically said:

"If people want to drool over my hips because they can't afford a decent meal, let them"!!

..not me. Knowing I helped fund some low-budget shark flick wouldn't make me feel any better. 🙄

...I’m punishing him by sticking his book right next to Kerouac on the shelf... and honestly, this one’s even better than Kerouac's
Let people see what happens when you steal a driver from a colleague😁
...
...And to top it off, they’re acting like they didn't do anything wrong!!!

..not really interested 😁
..Ken Kesey is a thief..well, an LSD thief..he basically ripped off poor Jack Kerouac by feeding him all that Dean Moriarty nonsense and drugging him just so he'd drive the van...now he wants to cruise around the USA himself, how pathetic😁

Robert Cooper41 and Gerald Barrett25 are hitting the nail on the head here...
Since when is an actress responsible for the script? She’s just doing her job..
Most people would play the part if they were coached, but it's easier to play critic when you lack the talent to actually perform.
...plus, the fact that you're even debating her acting skills—even if you think she's bad—proves she's still relevant enough to matter.

p.s. To the OP: Jennifer Lopez might be a bimbo in your eyes, but that's beside the point.
