But seriously?
How far away is the store? Did he use self checkout? If he used an actual register couldnt the checker provide evidence for the alibi? How long does it take to bleed out from a stab wound? What was the mom doing while bleeding out? DOES THE DAD HAVE FLASH POWERS?!?!?!
It also is funny the movie doesnāt seem to care about who actually killed his mom. We get itās not his dad, but it just adds more questions.
Iāve at least watched other flash stuff to know how it usually works.
I thought they were gonna go the route not just of Barry realizing he has to let her die, but that āevilā Barry is the one who killed her.
I thought so too, but I guess maybe they were trying to save the reverse flash for a future film and uh, oops?
Maybeā¦
Could also be something they changed after James Gunn came aboard.
I meant to follow up the Almost Famous post with something: After Almost Famous finished playing (on Paramount+), it immediately started playing Adventureland, and I thought this was an amazing algorithmic choice. I mentioned earlier that I am overly susceptible to nostalgia-type movies, and both Almost Famous and Adventureland scratch me right where I itch. So even though I meant to turn off the TV after watching Almost Famous, I ended up watching about half an hour of Adventureland. Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart are both great, and the entire cast is really strong (Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig, especially).
I did make the mistake of mentioning that Ryan Reynolds is basically the most handsome man alive, though. My wife was astounded with this take and started listing actors she thought were better looking. This was all fun and games until she got to Robert Pattinson, at which point I turned off the tv and stopped talking to her.
Adventureland is great and your response to your wife was wholly appropriate.
I think many times straight males take mostly aesthetics into account when judging other menās attractiveness while others might factor in many other variables. Ryan Reynolds is objectively attractive as a human but when ranking attractiveness people will use so many other factors, so it makes sense,
Your wife is still wrong though.
Trying to think of a movie that would pair well for a trilogy, but almost all of them are kinda crass in a way Almost Famous and Adventureland are careful to never be.
Wet Hot American Summer would probably fit as a finale in that trilogy. Yes there is crassness and the nostalgia isnt taken as seriously, but I think it can fit well here.
Or if you want something more serious, Middle School, 8th Grade, or Ladybird might pair well
EIGHTH GRADE!!!
Yes, thatās the one.
The trilogy of adolescence: Almost Famous | Adventureland | Eighth Grade
Wet Hot American Summer is close, but itās just a little too perverse lol. One of my favorites otherwise.
Lol I canāt imagine that experience not being peak euphoria for him no matter how ruthless they got with him. Maybe because they got ruthless!!!
RIP TCM
OK, anything else new/good on Shudder these days ?
So she likes edgy, pretty boys with punchable faces?
I couldnāt even immediately place who Robert Pattinson was. As I read these posts, I thought, āI bet Iāll recognize him and will be able to understand why heās attactive.ā
5 seconds of Google later, āOh God, itās THAT fucking guy? Ugh.ā I join the others in supporting spidercrabās revulsion.
I donāt get the Pattinson hate. Thought he was good in The Batman and The Lighthouse? Straight-up best Batman since Conroy.
