Reply to What movie do you quote the most ? by I_serve_Anubis
Guys on my softball team and I quote Glen Gary Glenross while we're in the outfield all the time. Just scream lines across the field to each other "Always be closing!!!!" I don't know why we still laugh every time.

Too add to that, I think it was a display of how his actions/inactions affected those around him, even though he thought his isolation would be better for them. It’s part of his atonement.

Reply to At what point is a spoiler no longer required to be kept under wraps? by microwavedhottakes
I think you should just be careful and only 'spoil' when you've got something to say. So many times I've started reading a review and it's just a summery of the plot of the film, there's nothing in that, it's pointless.
More generally I think it's about context, you should be able to express your opinion about something without a dozen pop culture references, you should be able to say 'this is like what happens in X movie,' without having to spoil either piece of media. Also, while right now everything knows of something like the Thanos Snap, in 10 or 20 years there will be an entire audience of young people who don't.
Just be courteous, you don't know someone's situation or how important spoilers are to them.

Reply to ‘PAW’ Patrol: The Mighty Movie’ Release Date Pushed Up By Paramount From October 13 To Go Wide On September 29 by lowell2017
All the films coming out in October just collectively sighed in relief. It wouldn't have been fair to them. / S
Edit: Wow. Did not expect so many people to miss a sarcastic joke altogether. Take your meds, people. The joke stays. Adding a huge S since people are absolute morons.

There is a movie with the same titel about John Gacy. Is this movie about this story?

Reply to What was the actual production budget on Netflix's "All Quiet on the Western Front"? by ACrazedRodent
20 million which is a fucking miracle. If this was an American production the budget would have had an extra zero behind it and would've been maudlin and over-sentimental as fuck like Saving Private Ryan, instead of the spiritual, ethereal, and humble masterpiece that it is.

Bad movies according to movie critics, not me. :)
Jerry Goldsmith, First Knight (1995)
Basil Poledouris, Conan The Barbarian (1982)
I'll even throw in a soundtrack for a mediocre to poor anime by a legendary Japanese composer:

Reply to comment by CaptainEO in Once lost footage from Lon Chaney horror classic to screen in NYC by AC_1440
It could have been "A Blind Bargain", which is allegedly more of a horror film than "London After Midnight". Also many film historians think "The Miracle Man" is probably the best/most important lost Chaney film but that's a drama, not horror. "London After Midnight" doesn't really sound that great from the info we have on it. Allegedly a lot of the film is more comedic, with Chaney as the Inspector (not in the "Man in the Beaver Hat" disguise).

Reply to comment by Getupkid1284 in I’m a decade+ late - but please go watch the Slammin’ Salmon by stardewcallie
I watched Puddle Cruiser on IFC back in the 90s and laughed my ass off. Then 01 rolls around and my roommate rents a movie from blockbuster and the preview for Super Troopers comes on. They all looked at me like I was crazy because I jumped up, pointed at the screen and told them we're going to go see it when it comes out. I got the last laugh though as they were pissing themselves in the theater when it came out.

Watch Bloodline. Netflix. One hell of a cast, and this guy manages to steal every scene he’s in. Season one.

Tough one. There are plenty of adult sized toddlers who feel as though their lives have been ruined if the have anything from a movie spoiled, who then spend weeks on edit complaining that their movie going experience was ruined and that they wish the were able to erase all knowledge of any spoilers, go back in time, and watch the movie.
Then, on the other hand, there’s plenty of adult sized adults who read the leaks and watch the spoiler YouTube clips etc. and then go and watch that movie and enjoy it regardless.
Lastly, there are the adult sized adults who couldn’t give two shits about either, who just go and watch the movie.
It’s a delicate balance on a very thin line…
