Reply to I keep end up disliking good films simply because all the characters are sad degenerate fucks and I hate them for it. Is there a trick to liking these kinds of films? by KellyKellogs
>I would add that I enjoy tragedies, films likeWolf of Wall Street, where we are presented with a charismatic or sympathetic character who has a tragic storyline and turns into a cunt. I just don't seem to like films where the characters start off as a cunt and end up as a cunt.
The main character in The Wolf of Wall Street starts off as a cunt and ends up as a cunt.

> If a person hasn't seen the film by the time it leaves theatres all together, they don't care.
That's really easy to say, but here in the UK a films release can be delayed by months, in other countries it can be much worse, especially if it's got to be translated. I've had stuff spoiled for me this way and I watch 100's of films a year, I actually don't generally care about spoilers either, but it still sometimes leaks through.
When I talk about film I tend not to talk about the details of the plot, mainly because when I start reading a review that's just a detailed summery, I stop, because it's not interesting. Outside of that I think pop culture references are kinda dying, the contexts you can use them in are increasingly limited and there's just less and less stuff that 'everyone' has seen. Right now there isn't a Game of Thrones level thing to spoil, so the conversation seems a little redundant. But just referencing things that need a spoiler kinda still seems childish.

amazing idea when this happens though is simply not to watch the film

I love when Bullhorn has that fight scene where he accidently slaps the henchman . You see the henchman get pissed for a few seconds before the movie jump cuts to a completely different actor in the old henchman's costume!

Reply to How do you feel about movies with main stars that were cancelled / or had done nefarious things in the past? I post this after having watched American Beauty tonight. by Fischer_Jones
Actors play a role/character. It's just a job reading lines that someone else wrote for them. That differs in comparison to singer/songwriters for me who actually compose the music and write the lyrics which are supposedly from the heart.

If you can't talk about film/media/art without pop culture references, you might not really have anything to say.
More generally, I think the internet has spaces where you can say and do whatever you want and they are the worse places online. You need some level of self moderation, It is good to think of the person on the other side of the keyboard.

Except for when he randomly went from being some badass to being a pushover, all in the span of a few minutes iirc.

Marcel the shell was my favourite animated movie this year. It probably won’t win the Oscar but it’s nice to see it get some recognition! Puss in boots was fun too but Marcel made me laugh and cry multiple times.

Somewhere in Hollywood, Dan Mindel is wiping the sweat from his brow having allowed Abrams to take yet another bullet for him.

There are movies where a conversation is shot with an object or person prominently in the foreground sort of blocking part of the scene, but it is meant to illustrate the division between the two characters talking. The one that pops into my mind is Eraserhead, where there is a plumbing pipe in the middle of the shot.
Although not a comedy per se, in Planet Terror there is a scene of two characters embracing and about to have sex, then the film overheats and melts, a missing reel card pops up, then it skips to the house completely on fire. That is probably the hardest I have ver laughed at a horror movie.

Paul Schrader has written the same type of character repeatedly for years and and consciously thinks of them as variations ofnthr same character and increasingly thr films are intentional companion pieces.
Most recently with the Card Counter. Earlier films you might enjoy include Light Sleeper, Walker, and American Giggolo. He also has an upcoming film called thr Master Gsrdener which premiered but hasn't been distributed yet.
For some other recent riffs on this kind of thing, you might want to check out You Were Never Really Here and Saint Maude.
