If you are a user of any mind altering substances, or have any interest in starting, it might be worth giving the movie or show another try in that state. Assuming your chosen goodies leave you coherent and able to form memories, lol.
And it’s not just to put you in a good mood, though that certainly helps. Maybe it’s just the spicy neurons in my case, but being high can qualitatively change the experience of how I relate to characters. (not extreme like empathy on / empathy off, sometimes things might just land different)
It’s easier to read the subtext and make connections, catch Easter eggs, etc. Although sometimes your brain is just making shit up.
I got super stoned before I watched RoboCop 2 a few months ago, which I hadn’t seen before. Holy shit the satire is deeply baked into every scene. I was laughing more than I have in years.
You should watch 2001 A space Odyssey it is exactly like this.
It is a historical documentary set in the early days of AI and Space Travel before SpaceX and ChatGPT, it’s kinda neet to see how far we’ve came in such a short time though.
In 2006 I fell asleep watching that movie. Highly recommend falling asleep watching that movie. The background noise is artistically stunning and sleep-promoting soothing.
It’s art. I love the movie. I appreciate the aesthetics, the cinematography, and the practical effects.
Oh man. I fell asleep 5 times before I could finally finish this.
It insists upon itself.
Ugh, lord of the rings. I tried watching it alone, with friends, with a girlfriend… Nope, just boring
You poor son of a bitch
I know. They tried to watch it so many times, that must have been hell. I could not get through it and would never subject myself to that crap again.
Grandalf is very disappointed with you, he’s trying to help you.
Put meat back on your menu.
My experience of the movies is so far, so removed, from your experience, that I can hardly believe we belong to the same species, that we share a common mother somewhere in the last dozen, hundred, thousands of generations.
Citizen Kane. Watched it one because I had to. Never will again.
Blade Runner for me. Great themes, great plot, great visuals and music, horrendously boring and plodding. 2049 was better imo.
Wrong opinion. You can definitely enjoy 2049 more, but the better film is the first. I enjoy 2049 much more often, it is a very palatable movie that appeals to a greater, higher volume selling, family-friendlier audience than the original. It’s the lager vs a craft beer between the two, though.
He said “for me”. How could his opinion be wrong?
I’ve always been curious about Citizen Kane. I haven’t seen it. Is it boring too?
Harry Potter 6 for me. I could not get through this movie. I tried it about 5 times so far. Same with the book. I tried reading it at least 10 times including listening to it as an audiobook.
It’s just insufferable.
(And don’t worry, Rowling-haters, I of course pirated it except of the copy of the book that I got when I was a kid)
i like slow cinema
I’ve got a movie for you:
Stalker makes 2001: a Space Odyssey feel like an action movie
I’ve watched that movie a few times. Tarkovsky is a gem.
I actually watched the Godfather and Citizen Kane. They were exceptionally good films. Citizen Kane in particular was genuinely fascinating.
They aren’t boring. While I am going to be honest and say that Citizen Kane isn’t something I would put on regularly (even when it comes to movies from the period) anyone telling they are dumb is dumb themselves.
I think our brains are too fried by smartphones that we are not able to enjoy a slow movie anymore.
Mulholland Drive is terribly boring if you quit before two thirds of the movie.
Pulp Fiction is unironically worse than a Neil Breen movie
Midsommar sure was terrible.
I liked it a lot. Watched the longer version of the movie. I’ve heard the theatrical cut was not as good though.
Fantastic movie.
What is this? a family guy funny moment?
‘The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford’ was this for me.
