Quiz Show. Everything about this move screams boredom but it is one of my favorite movies of all time.
Anyone else shocked by a movie they thought would suck?

Not a movie but a series. A handmaids tale: sounds a lot like a chick flick but I thought it was pretty damn good.

Mystic River. Not a fan of Sean Penn politics but his performance blew me away.disco.moon wrote: ↑Tue May 11, 2021 11:45 pm Lord of the Rings.
Okay, so the BF and my son tried for 10 years to get me to watch this. Finally, during the plague, I relented and watched. I feel in love. I've not watched The Hobbit yet, but I will.
Also, completely on the other side of the spectrum - Mystic River. Fucking stellar acting all around.

That scene at the police crime Area. "Tell me it's not my daughter". Brutal.disco.moon wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 12:09 amOf course, why would his politics affect his performance in a movie? I don't really like him, he seems like a dick, but he's a DAMN good actor. Man, that movie gives me feels!CentralTexasCrude wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 12:00 amMystic River.

I'll throw out a couple of Space ones. Cheezy future sci-fi "Starship Troopers" hs- the coed shower scene. Star Trek rip- Tim Aĺlen/ Sy Weaver "Galaxy Quest".

i have said it before, but if anyone has not seen a movie called "Being There" needs to watch it. There is absolutely nothing about the title or the description or anything about it that would tempt a person to watch it. Its worth it.

Are you talking about the Peter Sellers one? If so, you are correct.

Hannibal Rising. The guy they got to play young Hannibal Lecter was creepy as hell.
If life were fair every guy's dick would be the same size.

Yeah. Peter Sellers was probably the only selling point to lure a person into wanting to watch it. I have no idea if it won any kind of awards.Reservoir Dog wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 1:22 amAre you talking about the Peter Sellers one? If so, you are correct.

Wifers favorite movie. I enjoyed it as well.disco.moon wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 1:40 amThat movie, slays me. I feel it is Jim Carrey's best all time work. The heaviness of the movie is so deep. I mean, how many of us would love to delete a lover from our mind because it just hurts too bad? Kate Winslet already gives a wonderful portrayal as Clemintine. Ugh...i just love it so much.Reservoir Dog wrote: ↑Wed May 12, 2021 1:30 am Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.

Totally agree with Being There, I have heard that Peter worked very hard to get the film made, he loved the character.

I have tried on several occasions to make it through this movie. But it just bores the absolute living crap out of me.
