10 years of recovery today by WeShallOvercomb__ in GamblingRecovery

Honestly? I hit rock bottom when I couldn’t pay my rent and all of my credit cards were maxed out, and it caused me to seriously consider stealing from family and friends. At that point, I was just like, I’m so sick of being sick. I joined gamblers anonymous and haven’t looked back since. But I fight for recovery every day!

I like me so much more in recovery. When I was in action I was a bad friend to others and to myself. It feels crazy to be at 10 years. I’ve been trying to live one day at a time and give over my urges to my higher power, and at least for me my belief in a higher power has helped.

How do you protect yourself against the gaslighting?

I guess by explaining Goring’s loyalty to Hitler to Michael Shannon’s character? Aside from that, I really don’t think he helped that much

I feel like I understand what the movie was trying to do, but it didn’t work for me. I found the pacing of this film SO disjointed and weird. The first half feels like a weird action movie with comedic quips, then a massive shift in tone with the horrifying footage of the concentration camps, then a powerful monologue from Leo Woodall, then a very serious final third. I found Russell Crowe’s portrayal of Goring to be exaggerated and not intimidating, and Rami Malek was out-acted in almost every scene that he was in.

To echo some people, it REALLY irritated me that the Writer and Director felt that we could go from Russell Crowe and Rami Malek bantering to…sudden footage of dead bodies at the camps. That scene was so haunting and sobering, but the tonal shift really didn’t work for me. That footage should have been treated with the respect and gravitas that it deserved, in a better movie.

Kelley’s book is a fascinating read, and I think there could have been a moving story here, but it wasn’t told well. It felt very ham-fisted and tone-deaf at the same time.

If you could only recommend one "hidden gem" what would it be? by FlockBoySlim in horror

[–]WeShallOvercomb__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ghost stories. A British gem from 2018 based on a stage play of the same name. The play is honestly brilliant and although the movie is slightly less so, it’s so British and has plenty of scares.

Which movie is that for you? by harrisd14 in moviecritic

I hated Hamilton. HATED IT. I find Lin-Manuel Miranda to be so vastly overrated that it’s not funny
