Honestly, the movie was just... okay. You can watch it if you want, but it didn't exactly blow me away. There were moments where it actually started to get on my nerves, though I walked away with a decent enough impression by the end.🙂 It’s one of those films you finish and promptly forget ever existed... at least until someone decides to start a thread about it on the forum.😬

Honestly, because of Ethan's acting,😍 it was pretty dull for me. If only they'd made more like this...

Look, I get that the whole point of the movie isn't just that... it's more about growing up, the friction and the gaps—between generations, between the girls and the guys, the sheer passage of time.😕 That’s how I experienced the film, at least. But even then, I still can't quite wrap my head around those suicides... ...Being John Malkovich is 🙏 🙏 ..
I don't know... I ended up voting for Cusack in the end. I just always had a huge soft spot for her😍. She’s got better films than Norton, though I have to admit, Norton is great—especially in *Fight Club* and *The Score*.
...I didn't exactly love the movie, honestly. But since the studio gave it three stars, I couldn't just go to bed; I felt obligated to sit through it until the credits rolled. I still don't quite get why those girls ended up taking their own lives.😕
I think I actually preferred the first part, just by a hair. To me, the second one felt a little bit slower, if I'm being honest. Still, I'm definitely on track to have the second part catch up to the first in terms of view counts soon enough.
I haven't gotten around to watching Arthur and the Invisibles yet, but I have this gut feeling it might actually grow on me... who knows, maybe I'll finally change my mind about it once I see it.😬
When it comes to music, I usually look for that perfect middle ground—something both instrumental and vocal. I try to avoid tracks that lean exclusively one way or the other. Don't get me wrong, I’ll occasionally put on an instrumental set if the mood strikes, but when it comes to purely vocal stuff? Not really my thing. I much prefer letting the instruments do the talking.🙄
Jerry Martin19 said:I don't entirely agree—DiCaprio is decent in "Gilbert Grape," "Sorrow," and "Basketball Diary," and even "Titanic," though "Titanic" isn't exactly a masterpiece. Josh Hartnett was good in Sofia Coppola’s "The Virgin Suicides," and you've got a point about Kutcher, but I actually found "The Butterfly Effect" to be alright.
P.S. Maybe watch a few more movies before you start trashing actors.😉
Look, here's my take... I've actually sat through all those films. Personally, I thought Leo was good in "Gilbert Grape," but that's really the only one for me. As for Josh and Ashton, my opinion hasn't changed. The movies themselves are fine, but their acting mostly boils down to "look how good I look." To be honest, I don't think they belong in this profession because what they do on screen feels like something anyone could pull off if they just stood there and looked pretty.
..I find myself revisiting them from time to time, just to refresh my memory... and every single time, I end up realizing they’re actually better than I remembered last time. It’s a bit of a loop, really. My takeaway? Things just wouldn't feel the same without them.😎
