      Scene goes on for 20 minutes. Excessive nudity swearing. Tell your family "Don’t remember this part must be the directors cut’

    ive always enjoyed The Man From Earth, a movie about a bunch of people sitting together in a room talking about one of them being a 14000 year old biologically immortal cave man. its such a fun idea and they spend almost the whole time just talking about it with no flash backs or anything. ill admit some of it is a little hokey. one time i watched it with a group of friends and one of them said he wished he could have the time back lol. i still really like it, just dont watch the sequel. its so stupid idk why they bothered to make it.

    I had heard The Lobster was funny, so picked it to watch with my wife. I still remember the accusing way she looked at me every other scene.

      And she STILL mentions this movie years later! Fairly I had just suggested watching Tusk with her a few weeks prior ( “it’s Kevin smith sweetie it should be funny!”), and she’ll never forgive me for that suggestion either - or the though that I might have a thing for people turning into animals.

      Is this a throuple type? Because having one partner who’s primary contribution is picking what show/movie to watch might be interesting to a number of couples out there. Even better if they figure out what to have for dinner as well.

        That’s my son’s job. It’s not as sexy as you make it sound. He always has suggestions for dinner, though, that’s not a problem.

    And this kinda thing is why I don’t pick films, TV or music for groups anymore. That and far too often getting negative responses from others.

    Well if it was a random pick then oh well, whatever. But otherwise then yeah -I find myself nitpicking more. Bc I’m vouching for it being worthy of our time, so it’s reflective on me. Plus I’m trying to gauge if my company is enjoying themselves.

    Me too! I’ll pick lesser known films just to broaden horizons or see people’s reactions when they don’t know what to expect. It’s very much part of the fun😁

    I hate it when that happens. I had a super abusive brother when I was growing up that would berate me all the time whenever I watched any kind of anime around him.

    Thank God he moved to another country

    The Stunt Man

    Great movie with Peter O’Toole and Barbara Hershey.

    One joke about a 14 year old prostitute, but what movie is perfect?

    Bad Lieutenant II. If you dont like it we can still be friends, but the harder you judge me for liking it the funnier it gets.

    I recommend watching Happiness (1998) with your friends and family.

    Is there a name for this phenomenon? Just did a group road trip and the hotel I picked ended up being shit. Guess whose value as a human went down as a result? Mine.

    Why? I did my best, I researched, the online reviews were good. So why does every observation about the rude staff and funny smell reflect on me personally?
