Movies (and occasionally face slaps) (Part 1)

Yeah I’ve lost all tolerance for these movies where the guy walks right up to the girl, who’s given him no indication she’s interested, and makes some big move right in front of her existing boyfriend, which often includes physically accosting her. That’s called being a rapey asshole.

Not shocking that Hollywood run by old white guys like Weinstein would love this trope. You have to wonder how much it fucked up a generation of dudes.

I only saw Love, Actually once, but I never thought of it as being abuse-tolerating cringy, unlike some of the scenes in Sixteen Candles or Revenge of the Nerds.

To me, the scenes in Love, Actually are BAD.

Sixteen Candles and Revenge of the Nerds are bad in a different way.

But both are about the same kind of toxic masculinity I am glad is becoming obviously bad to a lot of people (not just men).

Right I mean…I still enjoy huge chunks of the movie.

As LKJ said, the Liam Neeson and his son storyline is charming and easy to love.

So good.

And the performance of “All I Want for Christmas” is good enough for me to sometimes play it in preference to Mariah.

OMG when she says “all I want for xmas is you” and points at him and he grins from ear to ear

but then she points at someone else and someone else and sings “and you and you and you”

The Endless is one of my favorite trippy movies, and Cabin in the Woods is one of my favorite scary yet funny horror movies.

So when I saw a review say this movie Resolution was actually a prequel to The Endless that they say puts “Cabin in the Woods to shame on a fraction of the budget” :popcorn::popcorn::popcorn:

The Endless is great if you haven’t seen it. Also, Tubi rules school. I don’t know why I have any streaming services besides Tubi and Criterion.

It’s free!! Ad based so no fees.

Yeah I just finished Resolution and I am READY to watch The Endless again with this new context. These guys are great storytellers.

I see. Subscription fees for a service I’m not using the shit out of make me feel like a chump, but ads in the middle of my movies make me feel like I should be able to pay to make them go away. The modern American dilemma.

Does Tubi run the entire movie? I know the annoying thing about movies on TV was the movie being cut up to fit in the necessary running time. Doesn’t seem like it’d be a problem for streaming

Does tubi actually run all of its movies fully uncensored too? My biggest hesitation is always that I wonder if I’m going to get the damn TNT edit if I dial something up on there. Not just the length as Hue mentions, but the content.

Rewatching Perfect Blue on Shudder and it’s a trip. This movie is so old that it presupposes that the audience has never used the internet before. And yet it perfectly predicts our modern age of toxic internet fan culture.

Jules (Demi Moore) in St. Elmo’s fire predicting the Kardashians was cool.

I don’t know why you’re both so worried… So, I bop him for a couple of years, get his job when he gets his hands caught in the vault, do a black mink ad, retire in utter disgrace, then write a best seller and be a fabulous host on my own talk show…

Tubi is free and uncut. Their library is huge and gets bigger every day. They add hundreds or thousands of titles every week. You will actually see stuff leave paid subscriptions and move to Tubi or FreeVee.

FreeVee is second place. That’s where stuff like Mad Men and Fringe went. It used to be branded as IMDBtv.

PlutoTV is third with a good library and the option to watch TV like old broadcast mode.

After that is Roku and Crackle. Those are good for certain titles but their libraries suck.

First weekend in forever I can remember there being two films I want to see.

Past lives
No hard feelings.

Finally got around to watching Goodfellas so I could do the Rewatchables. Hot take: it holds up! The music is so fucking good.

I own the two dogs painting on a t-shirt btw. Late night buzzed impulse buy. I think I’ve worn it once and no one at the party even got the reference :(
