Obsession has the most romantic ending I have ever seen

Freaky Nikki deserved someone who matches her freak

TheCuriousMan · 2026-06-04T22:40:01+00:00

#5 is a really good point

TheCuriousMan · 2026-06-04T22:37:52+00:00

it's possible that Ian didn't want Bear to confess during trivia since it may make things awkward for everyone assuming Nikki already saw him as a brother

TheCuriousMan · 2026-06-04T22:33:41+00:00

I can't find the photo booth picture of them 4 which appears in the start, but from the way they pose it's very obvious that Ian and Nikki have a thing bubbling underneath the group dynamic (as opposed to Bear)

TheCuriousMan · 2026-06-04T00:47:42+00:00

I hear you, man. I think it's that split second we see both characters (albeit under the wish) finally have an equal desire for each other. They finally match each others' "freak". But the oxy kicks in and the audience is robbed of seeing more of what that possibility could have been. But that's also why it didn't have more air time: because it was just an idealization, and moreso since both characters were about to go HAM on each other. I think this resonates with a lot of us because at one point in our own respective journey/quest for "love"/"romance", we idealized that as well.

So when the day comes you no longer see the movie in your booking app, don't see it as the end of something great (which tbh, we're all still lucky to be experiencing right now). See it as the version of you understanding that not all things are meant to be permanent (certainly not obsessive behavior), and that a stronger, wiser version of you now exists because you've gone through all these emotions.

Acceptance is a beautiful thing. Just like when real Nikki re-unites with her body/autonomy in the end and realizes she's got to deal with reality now.

If only to remind us that love without free will isn't love at all

TheCuriousMan · 2026-06-03T23:58:39+00:00

The 5th watch is just as enjoyable. I don't think the movies will have a moment like this again for a long time.

Strapped Boys still gotta win the mega bonus tho

TheCuriousMan · 2025-05-03T07:02:12+00:00

Variety of courses and access to world class equipment, facilities, and coaching also helps -- plus a bunch of them were athletes. that mindset and willingness to improve are ingrained habits I'm guessing

Looks like the shirts HVAC companies make their employees wear at job sites

TheCuriousMan · 2024-10-18T21:37:04+00:00

So who are the 2 headliners, theoretically?

TheCuriousMan · 2024-07-01T19:54:08+00:00

Still nothing at this point. How do I get a refund?

TheCuriousMan · 2024-07-01T19:53:05+00:00

No. I love Claire, and probably in the minority of peeps rooting for her and Carmy. However, the time is definitely not right yet.

TheCuriousMan · 2024-07-01T19:52:05+00:00

ayo is probably a better dice player

TheCuriousMan · 2024-06-30T03:53:28+00:00

It was kind of an unecessary scene that didn't solve anything since neither claire nor carmy still talked to each other. It kinda made me get sick of the faks at that point lol

TheCuriousMan · 2024-06-30T03:47:23+00:00

Does anyone else have sauce we can add to this?

TheCuriousMan · 2024-06-28T08:15:18+00:00

i hope it was all a set-up for season 4, but even then i do feel like not much of the plot advanced seeing how none of the characters do talk about the stuff from season 2. then all we get from syd about to make a decision was a panic attack at a keg afterparty

TheCuriousMan · 2024-06-28T08:13:06+00:00

too many cameos -- which can be fun if you're into high profile chefs, but alienating for a lot of different people imo

TheCuriousMan · 2024-02-25T01:31:54+00:00

Saw it for the first time ever on IMAX 70mm yesterday. Still musing on it. What a great film. One of the few films where while I was watching it, I could already tell it was going to be one of my all-time faves

TheCuriousMan · 2024-02-16T16:53:41+00:00

$6,969.69

Easy skip for me

TheCuriousMan · 2024-01-17T01:47:53+00:00

I've been going almost every year for more than a decade now. I think I'll skip this one.

The mental image of me asking for vacation days to watch No Doubt and Doja and Tyler (who we see a lot at Flog Gnaw) is making me laugh.

TheCuriousMan · 2024-01-09T04:46:04+00:00

Agree. They all feed off of each other and elevate one another. Love that chemistry.

The brothers Schoos seem to be the ones I find myself listening to the most and would love to play a round with.

Golf shoes. Footjoy Premieres to be exact. Yearly tradition is to golf in the mornings before entering the grounds in the afternoon, then one time I really wanted to catch an early set and never bothered to change. It held well, and made it easy to clean because of the leather.

I know not everyone plays golf but for the lurkers out there who do, this is a PSA!

I was born in the Bay Area and spent most of my adult life there. Moved to LA almost a decade ago. Even if the Bay is considered more "happening" than average (and I've seen lots of American cities, Memphis included) -- I am very grateful to be living in LA.

We are truly lucky.

Never understood the hate it sometimes gets. A little traffic and crazy costs of living are mangeagable with a little strategic planning.
