Gonna give Dr. No a hoon tonight

Gunda

Groundhog Day. Somehow not as funny as I remembered it. Pretty corny actually

Going to take an edible and watch The Green Knight tonight.

wish me luck!

God damn you Jorge

I still enjoyed it but it's just much sappier / creepier than I remembered it

I also can't make up my mind about the film's philosophical stance, whether it's optimistic or cynical. It's either "given enough time, man can become the best version of himself and be kind and good and generous," or "given enough time, man can manipulate others into thinking he is kind and good and generous in order to gain from them and/or bask in their admiration"

Gunda is the opposite of that.

It's literally just Scrooge.

Crumpy dude get slapped by inconvenient magic until he stops being an asshole and sings at the audience.

It’s a funny movie.

Yeah good lighthearted romantic comedy.

I never saw time as having anything to do with it. The message I’ve always got is that living a life of good intention and good will for your fellow man leads to joy and fulfillment.

Says a lot about where Jorge is right now that he’s struggling with it. Maybe it has something to do with his sociopathy?

That can't be it. He's not an uptight weirdo.

What did Phil need in order to reach that realization?

You guys should watch it again, it's very treacly and even a little disturbing at parts

I get you’re point, I just disagree. It’s a silly fun romantic ride.

It is those things, but I also think it's fun to engage with a film at a level past what the filmmakers intended

Doesn't he achieve the second theory midway through, but still isn't fulfilled?

I thought it was about Buddhism.

Halfway through he hadn't had enough time to get super good at piano yet

I meant some point in the movie that wasn't the end.
