Honestly, you’re only punishing yourself when you skip over the good movies! Seriously, don't be that person. You're missing out on all the magic! 😛

👍 You seriously gotta check out the other two movies in the trilogy! Seriously, don't stop now! 😉

Honestly, I’ve never once thought that anyone could feel "conditioned" by the language or the way someone talks 🤷
A great movie is a great movie, no matter what language it's in 😁—whether it's a series or whatever else.
I mean, sure, maybe if you're totally wiped out after a long day at work, it might feel "easier" to just put on something in English, but I would never, ever pass up a good film just because it isn't in English

The first part is such an awesome movie. It doesn't exactly have a happy end 🙂 but hey, we'll see! I might just give this one a watch 🤷

So far, I’ve only managed to catch "I Was Born But..." on the big screen 😬 (it was part of some film festival in Chicago, if I remember right!)

But I finally picked up a copy of Citizen Kane... I am seriously dying to watch it! 🙂

I actually really liked this movie! It was just so sweet, simple, and totally unpretentious. Honestly, I found myself laughing out loud quite a bit.
Overall, it’s just a great way to kill an afternoon. 🍿

rowdyridge3 said:Yeah, Cruella de Vil obviously comes from "cruel devil," but if they were actually going to bother translating it, they should have just gone with "Cruel Devil" or something similar to be a literal translation of her name. When I hear "Villain of Evil," the first thing that pops into my head is "spoon of brick"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and honestly, you don't even need to spell out how negative these characters are by translating their names like that🤣🤣🤣

🤣 Oh man, I can totally relate! I used to read it exactly like that when I was a little kid back in the day. 🤣🤣😳
But seriously, regarding the whole villain thing, I actually agree with this:

Joseph Richardson said:I don't think so. Unless it's aimed strictly at little kids and the name actually highlights the character's personality—like if the author chose it specifically for some deeper meaning.

Because that is such a perfect example of when you'd do it. For anything else? There's really no need to translate it. 🤷

northernangler17, thanks for the input! 👍 I honestly thought I was picking up something fun and lighthearted to watch, but clearly, I was totally wrong about this one...

Andrew Roberts3 said:Well, it's "The Last Boyscout"—or "Dirty Players Play Dirty," if you want to go by the literal title used here. 😉

I totally realized it meant "dirty players play dirty," but I didn't actually know the official movie title, so I figured I'd just ask! Thanks!

Wait, which movie are we actually talking about here? 🤷 I honestly thought that link was going to clear things up for me, but something just feels off...

Look, I totally get where you're coming from, but there's a massive difference in my book between saying a movie is just "watchable" versus actually being "worth your time."

It’s funny how people will laugh at basically any 😬 and for all sorts of random 😳
reasons.
But hey, were you actually laughing too? And did you catch that weird vibe where the lead actors clearly couldn't stand each other, even though they absolutely nailed their performances professionally?

wiredeagle5 said:I was honestly wondering why nobody had started a thread about this movie yet.. 🤷
I caught the trailer maybe two or three weeks ago and I actually liked what I saw... but I wasn't about to go through the trouble of downloading it until someone else confirmed it’s actually good. So, yeah, I'm downloading it now. 😉

But wait, who says it's actually good? People are calling it just "watchable"... which, if you ask me, is kind of a bummer. The trailer caught my eye and I really thought it would be worth the time... but clearly, there are much better movies out there right now. 😳

Maybe it doesn't have some massive, tear-jerker backstory, but man, it delivers such a solid, clear message! 👍 Kids are going to love it, but honestly, adults will too 😁
I thought the movie was awesome, though I bet it would’ve hit even harder if I’d caught it on the big screen at an AMC...
Overall, it’s just straightforward, humble, a total blast, and a perfect 10/10 for me 😁

p.s. The beginning actually gave me major Samurai Jack vibes 😳 😍 😁

You definitely need to check this out if you're just looking for some easy entertainment and a way to unwind 😁

😲 once they film that 🙄
I don't even have time to catch the original version... (and I definitely won't be getting my hands on the American one🙄 )

Hmm, interesting how polarizing these comments are... but hey, at least nobody is indifferent! That means the movie definitely makes an impact. As a huge fan of the first one and Cate Blanchett (plus some of the other actors 😳), and honestly just obsessed with the costume design and sets in films like this 😬, I seriously can't wait to check this out 😁

Betty Davis93 said:So, what’s actually the difference between microcystic ovaries and PCOS?

I honestly haven't quite figured that part out either!!
Is it just about how they look—like, you have a few small cysts in one case, but a whole bunch in the other?
Or is the real distinction that mine aren't causing nearly as many issues as true PCOS would... if that's the case, I'd be so relieved. Honestly, I don't care what they look like on an ultrasound, I just want them to be healthy...
And I've heard so many doctors telling girls with PCOS that their best bet is to get pregnant—as if having a baby magically fixes everything. As if... this is a lifelong condition you have to manage, not something you just "cure" once and for all.

I mean, it might sound a little confusing, but having polycystic ovaries isn't the exact same thing as having ovarian cysts... 😁 Personally, I have PCOS but I don't have any actual cysts. 😉
So, if what Angela Wright is saying is right (thanks for the quote!), then you really don't need to stress out. 🙂 Since those of us living with PCOS can definitely have babies, you guys with small follicular ovaries can too! 😁

So, what’s actually the deal with the difference between PCOS and polycystic ovaries? 😕

And hey, if you’re already on some kind of treatment, seriously, don't sweat it... especially if having a baby isn't even on your radar right now! 🙂

😕 So, what's the word from your doctor on that?

Such killer movies 😁
What an incredible actor 😬
