My mom's a medium who reads stuff in cards

It used to scare the hell out of me when I was a kid

I think that's cool. Most people have moms who do boring shit.

Cool! I started learning but had to quit cuz school. Gonna get back into it when I have more time

Like you didn't have the time to dedicate to learning, or did you have someone training you/teaching you?

I honestly like Ghostbusters 2 more than the first, even if it has its flaws story-wise. I just think the Carpathian is cool af and the film feels fresh. The original does/did nothing for me.

we're actually going to read the cats' tarot tonight when she gets home from work

I think weighing all the pros and cons, I'm going with D.
I can't get behind a girl that skinny. Period.

Pros:

• She has a pretty face: nicely shaped lips, chubby cheeks, big eyes.
• She does that ahegao face better than anybody, even if I'm not a fan of it.
• She has a decent behind
• You can tell she actually shaves her tuna box - which is like a coin toss with most zoomers.

Cons:

• She's way too skinny.
• She wears lame elf ears and shit.
• I hate British accents, even though my grandma had a heavy one and called everyone "bloody" and a c---

As someone who works in healthcare and whose girlfriend works in healthcare -- most people in healthcare are dicks. It's like 90/10

As far as pop music goes - it's definitely in my top 10. I approve of this post. Off the top of my head for last decade, it's something like:

this song
"Hold my Hand" by Jesse Glynne
"Talking Bodies" by Tove Lo
"Do What You Want With My Body" by Lady Gaga/R.Kelly
"Take Me to Church" by Hozier
"Sorry" by Beyonce
"Hot Girl Summer" by Megan Thee Stallion/Nicki Minaj/Ty dolla $ign
probably some song by Drake
idk

Why do you hate mice?

This is my ranking of all the species. I just literally don't like ANY of the mice other than Bree and MAYBE the ninja one. This is actually in order, too, in each tier.

Pecan in S tier? Youre a real one, matey.

Pecan looks like my cat. I love Pecan so much. Ever since day 1 my gf and I were determined to have Pecan/Pekoe/June on our island as permanents.

For some reason his face kind of reminds me of Gizmo

I waaaz aaaaa wokin down da street when some feckin jabroni walked up on me like aaaaaye

That fluffy gray cat with the random white and tan spots is hella cute.

The girl who made a rant before going on a trip to Africa? I forgot the details. I think she said something spicy online, didn't have the internet for a few days -- and when she returned to the internet found out she was fired, went viral, etc.

Lindsay Stone - the girl who gave the finger in front of a memorial that said "be quiet and respectful" kind of joking about the "respectful" part.

Most long form TV dramas don't challenge the "attention span" of the typical movie goer anywhere near as much as more formal and rhythmically experimental art films, and are pretty much systemically barred from such experimentation to begin with - and if they did, they'd just be considered cinematic, anyway.

Agreed. There are plenty of basic ass people that can digest shit like Breaking Bad, but would probably struggle with Jodorowsky or Makavejev films. I'd even love to see them sit through something like Betty Blue or My Life as a Dog.
Even something contemporary that isn't THAT slow/jarringly "strange" like Aster gives casual moviegoers problems - but they're easily able to digest whatever critically acclaimed Netflixclusive garbage is trending.

I think movies have a VERY tough time holding a candle to long form well-written drama tv. If you still prefer movies at this point in time, you simply have a short attention span - that's the short and long of it.

This take has a Scoville rating of like 10 billion.

Who actually dislikes that film? It seems like it's held in high regard if/ when it's considered a lycanthropy film

Friday The 13th Part 5 is not the worst film in the series, Jason Goes To Hell is.

Rob Zombie's Halloween remake and sequel are not the worst movies in the series, Halloween Resurrection is.

The original Star Wars trilogy actually isn't better than all of the others, they were just the first so people like them the most.

All of the Terminator films are crap

The Mortal Kombat movie isn't good, it's a pg movie with barley any blood or fatalities that is not true to the source material. The recent animated movie is much better.

I honestly think every Halloween movie I've seen aside from the first is trash XD I've never seen 3, though, and i know most people whose opinion i respect love it

The mario bros movie is a great dystopian sci fi film

I don't like ANY Kubrick movies. I find them boring and he really didn't like to cast black people. The black character that he seeming had to use was from the Shining . And that character lived in the book and was in other books after the fact. Beyond that I don't like them on a move making level. I find them boring and slow.

I don't like any gangster movie; just the subject matter is just blah to me.

Although i love 2001 and eyes wide shut - i do feel this way about clockwork orange

Requiem for a dream is my most hated movie, hands down. I don't think it's "sad" or "shocking" because it fails to capture the feeling and character development of the book. All the characters are overacted. The part in the book where she exchanges sexual favors for drugs is totally ruined by being changed into the exaggerated "ass to ass" scene. It was intentionally exaggerated to "omg shock" casual audiences, and is more laughable than actually shocking or sad. It was a cheap shot that's not effective to anybody who actually watches shock films

Nightmare on Elm Street 2 is a good film -- and easily the third best in the franchise, and if you think otherwise you're probably a homophobe who watches Rob Zombie films.

The second movie is easily the most perverted movie in the series. Unnecessarily so, too. It has nothing to do with homosexuality, either. The next movies didnt include that level of filth because the audience didnt like it the first time.

I think it's great. I wish the sequels would've followed in its path, instead of goofy prankster freddy

I've never seen any gangster/mafia films aside from carlitos way, and i honestly have no desire to see goodfellas/scarface/casino/godfather/etc.

But i love juice/boyz n the hood/menace 2 society

Oof, thats one I cant get behind on any level...though my second favorite Solondz is Storytelling. (Happiness is very obviously the best one)

Storytelling is #3 for me. I think the classist little boy has some fantastic lines, and its twists hit on all the wrong/ right levels. I think it's insanely under-talked about.

I just think palindromes is so well crafted and has an attention to detail. All the names, room numbers, and even the plot itself are all palindromes. I like the changes in the lead role, too. Also all the dr.dan stuff is hilarious.

Palindromes is the second best solondz film - not welcome to the dollhouse

Blacula is the best vampire movie.

I haven't actually seen any blaxploitation films other than boss n*.
I know people i meet at horror/exploitation conventions i go to would probably judge me for that.
I'm sure I'd like it if i got around to it.

On the topic of vampires:
Let me in is better for casual audiences ,and almost as good from a critical perspective, as let the right one in. I wholly disagree with most complaints. Most notably i think the red tones suit the film better than the white tones.

Eraserhead is awful.

I've never seen it - but i hated the second season of twin peaks, every lynch short I've ever watched, blue velvet, and every clip I've seen from any of his other films.
I won't deny his talent - but i feel about him how a lot of people feel about von trier

US isn't as good as Get Out - but the gap in quality isn't as big as people like to pretend. Obviously a film about appropriation during times when our focal social issues regard race is going to resonate more with people than a film about classism; most people aren't very class-aware. US was just as meticulously directed, had just as much attention to detail, and is just as pretty and well shot as Get Out - even if its allegorical plot is full of holes and is somewhat predictable. I honestly think it does a better job at addressing class than Society or People Under the Stairs. It may not be quite as good as They Live, though.

The Indiana Jones films are all boring

I haven't watched them since I was a child, but I remember even being bored with them back then. They were films that were constantly on television and I kind of didn't care when they were.

Eyes Wide Shut is the best Kubrick film, and I'm not even saying this as a personal preference -- I honestly think it's his most well made film. It slightly edges out over 2001.

There's nothing wrong with Seed of Chucky. It's not a great film by any means - but it's not the terrible film people pretend it is. It's funny, it's entertaining, and it has a cool John Waters cameo.

Terminator 2 is a bloated, expensive blockbuster film that's way overrated. The first film was a masterful piece of atmospheric brilliance, that managed to keep its plot vague enough to elicit some mystery. The sequel kind of tossed all that out the window.

Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey is a fantastic film, and leagues better than its predecessor. Excellent Adventure does not hold up AT ALL; I legitimately can't understand most peoples' preference for it.

The best role Keanu Reeves ever did was River's Edge.

Nightmare on Elm Street 2 is a good film -- and easily the third best in the franchise, and if you think otherwise you're probably a homophobe who watches Rob Zombie films.

Basket Case 2 is better than Basket Case. Basket Case 2 and 3 have that intentional goofiness that I kind of feel like defines Hennenlotter. If you watch Frankenhooker especially, you'll see that they're incredibly similar in tone. Basket Case 2 manages to be a hilarious film that's still every bit as entertaining as the first, even if it lacks the funny stop-motion animation.

The Matrix films bore the hell out of me, and are the neckbeardiest films ever. Hell - the film was even the inspiration for the name behind the red pill movement. I can't speak for how well they're made - because I've only seen the first, and both times I fell asleep like halfway through. I'm sure they're at least somewhat competently made, even if they repulse me.

Goblin is kinda goofy, and I'm not a fan of Argento. I think the music in Deodato films is waaay better. The opening track in Cannibal Holocaust is better than any Goblin song, and all the songs in House on the Edge of the Park blow away just about any horror movie scores.

Marty is wrong about his MCU shenanigans. He's just an old man shouting at a cloud. Tell his CNA to get his lidocaine patch and help him get into bed.

The Thing isn't that special.

All three Human Centipede films have merit. The first is just a pretty solid film that rode on its controversial plot. The second film is well shot, well edited (for the most part), and does a good job at shocking its audiences. The third film is fantastically acted by its lead, even if everything about it is kind of over-the-top and comedic.

Freddy Got Fingered is a top 20 comedy of all time.

Cool, so he's unintentionally sounding like Bone Thugs? XD

From a socio-political standpoint, mainstream rap music was "ruined" back in the '00s - when the culture lost its subversive roots and started being a glorification of capitalism, rather than a rags to riches narrative of climbing out of poverty or dealing with struggles. It was also that same time that rap/hip-hop got strongly appropriated and added/mixed into pop music, starting to replace conventional pop music and pop punk with a rap/pop hybrid.
Honestly a lot of the newer rap music is way better than the garbage of the early '00s -- because its creation and sound are at least somewhat subversive, even if its message isn't -- with Soundcloud, ex-pop punkers going rap, heavily tattooed/body modded rappers, etc. Plus that style over substance stuff sounds fucking good. I'd listen to 21 Savage a million times over before I'd ever willingly listen to later Ja Rule or Ludacris, who didn't have style or substance.
But I'm saying this as an outsider of the culture, and there are obviously still rappers that do substance over style - like mentioned in post #6.

How much you do generally agree with "Don't fix it if it's not broken"?

I agree in the context of the workplace. Not sure how strongly I agree with it otherwise -- I guess I'd need its context.
