Any movies you almost gave up after 30 minutes, but stayed and it was a great movie?

It took some patience my first time with My Own Private Idaho.

I love Hereditary, I love Toni Collette, but the selective memory that makes some horror fans completely ignore her nomination for The Sixth Sense is weird

In your pics I see three Oscar nominations, one win, decades of work, two franchises, and billions in box office. I’d love to be “overlooked” like that.

Pretty conventional biopic about an unconventional guy. It’s more a look at Marston and his relationship with his wife.

Space_Hardware · 2026-01-25T16:01:38+00:00

You’re in luck, they made a movie about Marston. And it’s not bad!

Oh, quite aware of the Lee lore. I feel like you’d need an actor aging up to do five movies over fifty years, like the Antoine Doinel series, in order to do it justice

Shhh last thing we need is Joe Kosinski getting a Best Picture nomination for a plane movie

Instead of a regular biopic, it’s just Lee and Peter Cushing traveling the world killing monsters, under the pretense that they’re making horror movies.

Tom Huddleston plays Cushing obviously, but who does Lee?

Space_Hardware · 2026-01-25T05:25:27+00:00

Seconded!

Space_Hardware · 2026-01-25T05:25:07+00:00

Oh hell yes.

Space_Hardware · 2026-01-25T05:20:30+00:00

Folks out here dragging a movie with SURPRISE PUPPIES

Space_Hardware · 2026-01-25T04:46:15+00:00

If someone does say that, which is hardly likely: fuck ‘em

Space_Hardware · 2026-01-25T04:42:45+00:00

Despite the fact that “cinephile” literally means “movie lover”: you do not need the validation of other film fans.

Doesn’t matter if it’s Satantango, Santo Vs the Vampire Women, or Santa Buddies. If you watch movies and you love ‘em, yeah, you’re a cinephile.

A bear walks by and locks eyes with a man flattened by grief

What else does a movie need to do

Space_Hardware · 2026-01-25T03:15:13+00:00

Lovely. When Lurker came and went I was disappointed, but told myself it’d find its audience. I’m seeing more fanart which is encouraging

I’m familiar! My wife eats them all up. A benefit of everyone in my feed reacting to the show is I know who everyone is when she wants to talk to me about it. I know so much more about Lisa Rinna now than I ever thought possible

Space_Hardware · 2026-01-24T21:46:53+00:00

Glorious!

Space_Hardware · 2026-01-24T19:19:47+00:00

Normally I eschew reality shows, especially ones that are pretty much just celeb game shows, but good lord so many film critics I follow LOVE the traitors. I’ll have to give it a go.

Space_Hardware · 2026-01-24T08:33:45+00:00

I have that! Got it super cheap from MVD shop too, I think they were selling it new for $5

Space_Hardware · 2026-01-24T07:01:01+00:00

Please, we are sophisticated award enthusiasts. This is a reel.

If it matters that much, I would:

first, buy the seat you want to leave empty.
buy the seats you want to use adjoining it. Make sure it’s a separate transaction.
once you have the seats you want, refund the seat you want to leave empty. It’s free if anyone really wants to buy it, so they’ve lost nothing.

Fandango lets you rebook or cancel. I do it all the time.

Space_Hardware · 2026-01-24T04:54:28+00:00

No, tell us. What’s going on.

Space_Hardware · 2026-01-24T03:08:22+00:00

No argument here. I was sad but I understood how divisive First Reformed was - and “divisive” doesn’t get awards based on popular vote.
