>slow, subtle, character studies.

Ozu.

I didn't really vibe with Still Waiting but I still long for the day that I can Goat someone.

It’s the story of quasimoto with the Broken Lizard guys.

Granted it was a screening, but literally the whole thing was terrible. Just absolutely dreadful. I think it’s going on Amazon Prime or one of the streaming services soon.

Well hey, if you like the super troopers guys then check out Slammin Salmon! It’s a solid flick. Personally I’d rate it in between the two Waiting films.

I’ve been a waiter and bartender for more than half of my life (mostly in bar and grill type places like Shenanigans in Waiting), these movies will never get old for me.

Mommie Dearest

The Hours

Absolutely. If I commit a serious crime like rape or murder I want you to assume that it’s just the one I got caught with. You don’t just one day decide you’re going to rape someone. You build up to that. Guys like Cosby and Spacey were doing things to people for years and years before 1 person stood up. I’m sure some of there worst actions are still hidden.

I don’t get why people think they are guaranteed some sort of due process when it comes to public opinion.

"You must dominate the swordfish. Only then can you sauté it."

Man I love this movie

Well thats embarrassing. I may not have ever seen Slammin and literally thought Still Waiting was it. ouch. I am wrong.

The fuck?

Okay, but really, I promise to be civil. Why do you think that?

No, what i was trying to say is i still appreciate good art.

For eg: My childhood was Harry Potter. Now we all know what the writer is doing and saying. This doesn't retroactively make Harry Potter bad or my enjoyment of it growing up.

Blazing Saddles gets a lot of quotes at our house too.

I can separate Kevin Spacey from Sam Mendes and everyone else that made American Beauty the great movie that it is. I like Kevin Spacey's acting, and he wasn't always a terrible person, but he did terrible things that need to be noted. We don't need to demonize the movie because he's in it. It has a lot of commentary on society, and it was beautifully made.

Old people are an audience that was out of the theater game big time from the pandemic and only started to return. Since they are older seeing stars they are familiar with is a major draw to them, as is the tired genre and plot. Seeing as so many movies look back on their generation and all of their mistakes it's no wonder the fantasy of Top Gun topped the domestic box office.

As someone who is HoH I prefer renting the movie on my own TV screen at home but doing the whole movie experience with my hubby. So, we go out buy snacks or have dinner before/after the movie so we feel like we are still going out on a date. I find the CC almost always works with movies rented at home and that way I can put the TV volume as high I need it without worrying about anyone else.

What’s Quasi like? I wasn’t aware of it at all

I’m friends of the family of one of the accusers of Bill Cosby. The woman was fearful of coming forward. She did because others were and they needed her support. Her landlord then tried to evict her because news media was coming to her apartment without invitation. He friends called her a money grubbing whore, even though she was set for life and already retired. She lost almost all her connections in the industry.

So for me, I feel like it’s a small price to pay to not contribute to the careers of those who’ve done really bad shit. I’m talking rape, murders, beating people, etc.

There are just some actors/artists that I truly can't enjoy as much as I did before learning about their bullshit. I don't necessarily judge other people for still enjoying problematic things (depending -- that whole "standing ovation for Roman Polanski" thing remains super fucking gross), but in some cases I just can't do it. I think Spacey is one of those for me. Like, The Usual Suspects is one of my favorite movies, but I don't think I'd find Verbal nearly as fun now.

Dunno what you think spun off means but it’s not this.

…unless you think Slammin Salmon is the movie Still Waiting, in which case that’s more accurate

Well that's the difference between Arnie and us mere mortals. He's so strong he can buff out dents and scratches simply by flipping a car

> If something truly awful comes out then they likely are 100 times worse.

Is that how you want people judging you?

How is everybody feline?

Great list. I'll add:

Serpico

8 1/2

Le Samourai

Bad Lieutenant

Thief

Carlitos Way

There Will Be Blood

Punch Drunk Love

A History of Violence

Same with the movies Waiting and Still Waiting. All 3 of them are interchangeably accurate and funny

Young Guns 2, Night at the Roxbury, Superstar and, of course, all the Friday movies
