Movie Discussion

Anyone watched the studio Ghibli films? Feel good asf and wholesome

 

[Wahesh]

You go ecstatic about rom coms and admitted you never watched goodfellas. No leb has not seen that movie except you.

The only rom com I'll happily admit I like and watch is The Wedding Singer, and that's got nothing to do with the story line, more the songs and 80s nostalgia. Any other rom com I watch is something that the wife picks.

I’m halfway through season 2. The mystery of what actually is happening is pretty prevalent, I’m so curious how this is tied in to make sense.
The same makers are behind the show ‘lost’. Hence the similarity.
But they can’t go the purgatory route again you wouldn’t think.
My thought is they are stuck inside victors dream.

I don't get how the people who have been there the longest i.e the majority of the town don't try everything possible to leave and I know they told the newcomer's that they have tried to leave in the first episode but you wouldn't just give up, I understand they (Netflix) want to get a few season's or more out of a tv series but if the characters were meant to be acting like how a person would deal with this situation guaranteed you would be doing everything to find out why your stuck in a town with no way out.
The writers got it wrong about one thing if there was no internet people especially teens would be complaining and whinging about no mobiles and that their bored, even adult's would have a whinge about things we use in the modern world, I understand the viewer would switch off if there was too much whinging or complaint's but c'mon too many townsfolk accept where they are stuck, also you don't even know how fast these creatures are as they only come out at night.

Air was a pretty good movie.

Watched The Notebook for the first time earlier today. Cried like a little girl at the end.

I agree, my wife and I went to movies with free tickets to another movie. We slipped into to see the Notebook, no bullshit by the end everyone was crying. Sweet story, doesn’t matter who sees it - if you have a heart - you will cry.

I watched London has Fallen a while back. I really enjoyed that, Gerard Butler is awesome in this movie. If you like action movies, this is pretty good.

They do seem to keep trying. End of season 1 plot point and in season 2 they are exploring a route of they are being watched in an experiment.
I think some of the old timers are pretty beat down and accept their fate. Although I would have assumed we would see more in depression mode.

the monsters not being fast is talked about in the middle of season 1. One of the characters muses how weird it is the monsters never run or chase at all. They wait for genuine mistakes, people on a platter (like the first box episode) or like the art of conning them into letting them in like the girl who said she was lonely and didn’t want to be there. Which strangely appeared genuine, and makes us wonder if the monsters themselves are cursed or acting under duress in some way.

interestingly I learnt yesterday that it is StephenKings favourite show. Which isn’t a surprise as like I mentioned it has Stephen King fingerprints all over the style of story.

You appear to be the love machine. I don’t know how you found it funny though, if you watched it to the end

The Mother featuring J-Lo was a letdown. 4/10.

The Mother featuring J-Lo was a letdown. 4/10.

Anything with j-lo (or is it beniffer now) is a let down

The only half decent movie she's been in is out of sight which was back in 96

 

[The_Chimpster]

Yeh...the cancel subscription button lol

Yep just like Netflix.
Absolute crap on there

 

[EL Hefe]

John Wick 4, wow talk about a disappointment, felt like a straight to DVD low budget movie
