    Silver Linings Playbook. Not what I expected. 
    Did you like it? I did.
    I did. i was pleasantly surprised by the plot, however, the ending was a little too neat and tidy. 
    It is a nice romantic ending, lol... Although sometimes I need that - there are a lot of dark and messy endings these days. I thought Jennifer Lawrence was super good in this movie - quite funny.
    I actually thought they both acted very well in it. But every time I see her in a movie, I can't get those leaked photos out of my head! 

    it IS a nice romantic ending. I just thought it happened too quickly to be believable.

    ***SPOILER ALERT****

    I mean, he went from crazy obsessive super-delusional estranged husband to all of a sudden getting over her? Come on. 
    Well, delusions about exes really can change really fast. I've seen it happen in real life. When the obsession isn't based on anything good or real, that false reality can crumble pretty easily. So I didn't find it too unrealistic.
    what kinda psychos you hangin' out with? :lol:
    Not hanging out with. Being harassed by, lol. I've always been a bit of a psycho magnet, I'm sorry to say. :lol:

    Room 237.  Had good points but mostly came across as Kubrick followers with way to much time on their hands.

    Yeesh, I don't know about that Dr. D! :lol:
    mother! has really stuck with me actually, way more than most movies. I keep thinking about it in terms of it being a really interesting metaphorical representation of the creative process, and I really appreciate that point of view.

    *raises hand* There is a lot of major stretches in there but even those I find interesting. The moon landing stuff is insane. At the very least he was fucking with people because he knew it was a conspiracy already. There’s no way all that stuff was by accident.

    I honestly hardly remember the Nazi stuff, I have to give it another watch sometime soon.

    Kubrick’s daughter denies everything about the movie Room 237. He spent most of his time at home with his family and never traveled far from home. From movies I watched featuring his family, and closest friends he was a super normal guy, who just made insanely good movies. No fake moon landing, sadly. 
    Mom working hard trying to get 2001 shown on April 3 at a theater in Bellingham for its 50th birthday. I freaking love Kubrick.

    I saw 2001 in a theater in Pittsburgh a couple of years back, fucking amazing experience! I’m not saying he did the moon landing, but I think he might have been fueling the fire with the rumors that he did it, like he added some of that stuff in there just to fuck with people. Have you seen the new documentary “S is for Stanley”? It’s on Netflix right now, it’s about his personal driver from A Clockwork Orange and on, or more like personal slave. They had a very complex and loving relationship but I certainly wouldn’t call it “normal”. He is quite possibly my favorite creator of entertainment ever, certainly one of the most intelligent creators of entertainment ever. I believe him to be the greatest director ever, and I really don’t think it’s close.

    I have seen that new film. I love that he put him and his in eyes wide shut. Something nobody would ever notice had they not learned about his assistant. Also loved seeing all the photos for the going away party Stanley threw for him. 

    I agree. I love everything from Fear And Desire all the way through eyes wide shut. He explored avenues in film that no other director can. I’ve watched Barry Lyndon a few times this past year. It’s incredible. I’ve never seen another movie like it. It’s this big, pointless story of a man, who we never connect with. It’s incredible, but I have no idea why. I think that’s the definition of a great film. Glad to find another Kubrick fan on here!!

    Hostiles. Acting and cinematography were great but it was probably the most long and depressed film I've seen in a while. It was 2 hours long but felt like it was 6 hours long. I was expecting to see morning daylight when it ended.  If you like to see super slow depressed conversations then this is the movie for you.

    Agreed. Kubrick is an amazing talent.  The scene in Full Metal Jacket between joker and pile is still one of the most intense moments he’s ever made. It’s what makes FMJ top 3 for me....
