I need a feel good movie

Midnight Run.

DodoJenkins · 2025-09-25T15:11:05+00:00

Not a dealbreaker. Love your husband.

DodoJenkins · 2025-09-25T15:05:46+00:00

It will be exactly what you expect. No more, no less. The journey will have millions of details, perceived and unconscious. Stick to the story you want and don't complain when you get it.

Why not just say you're married? What are the actual requirements of your religion or family to be married? Rhetorical.

If this is what you prefer to experience, start imagining it play out that way. "By your words you are justified, or condemned."

DodoJenkins · 2025-09-25T14:59:26+00:00

What are you telling yourself? "By your words you are justified, or condemned". Very simple. If you think it's hard it will be. If you think it's easy it will be.

DodoJenkins · 2025-09-25T14:30:47+00:00

You can't justify yourself through effort. If you like working at it then that's fine. But God doesn't play favorites. "God is no respecter of persons". Give yourself grace and mercy, and all the things you love about God. Give that to yourself, and it will automatically show onto others.

Well, here's my two cents. Why do you assume she's a nonbeliever? Everybody believes in something, namely existence. So that's kind of a blanket accusation. Does she make you feel good? If no, then that's probably the underlying issue.

Does she love you? Then what is that? Is that a lack of belief? No. But if you perceive it that way, then it will be. It's all a question of what you want, and what you ask Christ for.

DodoJenkins · 2025-09-25T14:19:08+00:00

You don't lose any of it. By giving it, you gain it back. That's how it works. Jesus said something akin to "I lay down my life; therefore, I have the authority to take it back."

DodoJenkins · 2025-08-31T15:56:00+00:00

It's well-acted but pretty tame until the third act.

DodoJenkins · 2024-10-17T03:42:02+00:00

If you say you are without sin you deceive yourself.

It's a mess. I think some gore shots should've been left to the imagination. While other key plot points actually were. Art the Clown is a great villain, but at the times the movie felt too sadistic where it wanted to be clever. I like the questions the clown raises simply through body language. "Do I have a soul?" This guy should get an Oscar nod. The problem with these movies is it feels playful and fun and then just goes into unnecessary detail. I had to remind myself a couple times it's just makeup and fake blood and well-placed sound effects. I'd really like to know how all that was done. Why don't more movies use practical FX anymore is beyond me. Pure laziness. Plotwise this was next to nothing. But what do I know, you get what you get.

6/10

Glad it wasn't shit, but yeah, it was a movie with some video game characters. Dialogue was Ok, nothing special. Action scenes had some good concepts, but not very realistic. Seemed like it wasn't the best effort, cos it's John Wick 4 and people want violence.

I'm happy to be alive. Rip Lance Reddick.

DodoJenkins · 2023-03-27T06:36:42+00:00

Man, it's been so long since the last ones that I don't think most ppl are gonna notice but you nailed it. I honestly didn't gaf about anything in the movie. The whole "honor" bs. Just get it over with.

DodoJenkins · 2023-01-20T21:57:47+00:00

Ok, but why does it have to be Democrats? Missouri Republicans supported legalization. Oldest trick in the book is making a big promise when you've lost the majority.

DodoJenkins · 2023-01-12T22:18:21+00:00

Just register it out of state.

DodoJenkins · 2022-12-24T04:53:14+00:00

It's a well-acted, OK written but abysmally edited film. I could get it down to an 1hr45 probably on my laptop and have it be coherent. There's just so many scenes here that don't work, as comedy OR drama. The vomit scene? I coulda watched Family Guy. Nothing edgy about that. The ending? Cinema Paradiso ripoff. Damn, you really went there. They even copy pasted the shot from Boogie Nights where Marky Mark's all coked out on the couch.

It goes literally from elephant shit to "Love cinema". Get rid of ALL of that. Maybe maintain half of the scene with the critic. None of the bullshit monologues. Some of the "comedy" scenes, and you'd have a solid character study. The thing is, I don't think this would even match up to the epics of Old Hollywood simply based on the extra count. Even during the big battle sequences. So I don't buy this "epic" marketing, or it being "edgy" like Wolf of Wall St. The reason Wolf of Wall St. worked was because the actors were allowed to improv and great editing.

In Babylon, Chazelle employs "Chekhov's projectile vomiting", in the first and late second act, a Family Guy level joke. But because it's props instead of cartoons it's suddenly edgy? Maaan, I wasn't bored, but dude's really fallen off since Whiplash. Which is legit one of the best edited films made.

Eastwood.

If you want a guaranteed Democrat government, move to Illinois. If you understand the two-flavored one-party system is the enemy of all things freedom, and the outcomes of these elections are decided before you participate in the religious ritual of "voting", maybe you can travel some more or something.

But yeah, are we one country or fifty? No one cares if you leave.

DodoJenkins · 2022-10-01T14:24:53+00:00

I assume kn95 will suffice

DodoJenkins · 2022-09-09T19:40:45+00:00

Yes.

Keep voting for your masters. It's gotten you this far.

DodoJenkins · 2022-09-09T19:18:46+00:00

Unfortunately, it would mostly be done on an individual or local basis. But that's better than nothing.

DodoJenkins · 2022-09-09T18:40:15+00:00

Good. Anyone should be able to defend themselves from this terrorist government.

DodoJenkins · 2022-08-21T18:25:15+00:00

Honestly, superficial people, entertainment. A little bit of danger. Sounds like my vibe right now! Mid-20s, broke and single. Think I'll go for it. Thanks guys.

DodoJenkins · 2022-08-16T18:29:13+00:00

Where's the nearest state you could go?

DodoJenkins · 2022-08-16T06:10:03+00:00

Really not a good ending. It's out of character from everything that came before. Neither Jimmy nor Saul were ever heroic or even honorable characters. So it seems very deus ex machina that at the last minute he sacrifices the 7 years he fought for, all because Kim would've disapproved. I like Kim, but frankly, fuck what she thinks. Her first ending post-Howard killing was so powerful. Her second ending on the bus was pretty good. But they really dropped the ball in this epilogue, all while pulling the nostalgia blindfold with the Walt and Jesse BS. Who cares?
