"Who told this woman she was funny?"
Maybe the same person who told you that you are qualified to judge talent.
Rocky put it perfectly when he said "I'd have been loving her up" a couple times a day. (I forget the exact quote.)
The "why" isn't the point of the movie. It's a love letter to The Beatles.
It was powerful. I was awed.
"Once I knew that we weren't going to get an explanation, I was able to relax into the storytelling. But up until that point I was just impatiently waiting for the explanation..."
That tension of waiting for the explanation is part of the fun, just as not knowing the murderer is what makes a whodunnit-style mystery entertaining.
How can you be so good at parroting a definition of something people hilariously call wokeness, but so bad at quoting something that's written right there in front of you? What you quoted (in single quotes!) is not what I wrote.
But I'll answer the question you were so afraid of: Yeah, I guess it's what you'd call "woke" as hell. I loved it.
I'm guessing that since you asked, you'd better avoid it. You might catch some of the wokeness and become, you know, a real person.
Best.
And I like the way she rubbed me, figuratively speaking. You're right, she is cute as hell, and I thought her quirky, snarky, intelligent attitude made her even more attractive.
As they say, that's why they make chocolate and vanilla.
So you mean Good Horror or Thought-provoking Horror? 🤪 Or are you saying it's so bad one should ditch the Horror genre entirely? Gee, even I wasn't that harsh. 🙃
Actually, in one of the Universal sequels (I forget which one) there are references by villagers or someone to the monster by name, and it's Frankenstein.
Don't worry, they won't hurt you. Something tells me you're not the type to attract anyone
of that demographic, I mean
I'll take your word for it, mobocracy. But I don't think I'll go back and look for something I missed. Maybe I'm deficient and subtlety is lost on me.
or Robert Mitchum.
The problem is; it was actually pretty good...acting...suspense...mystery...but it ended kinda abruptly for no good reason, with absolutely NO resolution or explanation, and with nothing to speculate your own explanation. It was as if everybody said, "screw it, let's close this production down and go home."
I'm way late to this, but I'd guess it sounds like a sci-fi pic to a 9-year-old.
"I don't steep myself in movies, so I really don't know a lot of the instances you mention..." says the person who said "They NEVER portray Christians in Hollywood movies as anything other than crazy. START PAYING ATTENTION, and YOU'LL NOTICE anyone who reads the Bible will be the mass murderer or child molester. THEY'VE DONE THIS ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE 1930's."
Maybe steep a little on the subject you're going to rant about.
It's no sillier than Columbo showing up to what appears to be an accidental death while the body is still warm, and immediately focusing on the murderer. Or the characters in Cheers being at the bar from morning to night, and the owner/staff leaving on a whim any time a fun or important opportunity presents itself. Or the staff at Abbott Elementary spending more time in the break room or in the halls than in the classrooms.
There's a reason these kinds of shows are well-loved; they're fun. I personally like the occasional escapism of "silly crap" as a much-needed break from all the rest of the serious crap going on in life.
And, IMO, the talent is put to good use. But you know you better than I do, so as they say, you do you.
Am I the only one who thinks that they chose old photos that kinda sorta look like the characters in the show? Overweight guy for George Wendt credit, attractive female for Kirstie Alley, young bartender for Woody's credit, etc.
Oh, man...took away my enjoyment of this show. Next, you'll tell me that Cheers would never succeed as a bar because the waitresses and bartenders, and even the owner, just up and leave to do something spontaneous. Or that Columbo, a homicide detective, would not show up at the crime scene within minutes of the crime. Or that Abbott Elementary is unbelievable because the teachers spend too much time in the lunchroom, or having discussions in the hall, or generally just not being worked to exhaustion.
I will never be able to enjoy humor or escapist entertainment again.
Not.
