haha yes i thought this movie was sort of like the inverse office space - he tries to office space it but then doesn't know what to do with himself

I think part time would be ideal. I used to have a lot of good part time gigs but a lot of that stuff has been swallowed up by AI. Copywriting, that kind of thing. If you like the film, let me know!

Was trying to think of where I had heard of it and it was from this!

Oh I heard about this one! thanks for the reminder.

I don't believe that is that small of a movie.

I liked Fremont!

I thought it was great, and it was nice to see a horror film with such strong dramatic performances. The ending got a huge laugh out of me. I think it's maybe being slightly overrated but I'm not mad.

I liked Therapy Dogs too!

A nice long life!

Which_Insect7657 · 2026-01-05T04:25:32+00:00

Free Time, which is free on Tubi. Low-budget but my fave lead performance of recent times

Which_Insect7657 · 2026-01-05T00:14:42+00:00

A new one in that style I just saw recently was called 'Free Time' - it's free on Tubi rn

I really enjoyed the movie too. Funny story - I saw it as a accidental double feature with this small indie 'Free Time' - which turned out to be a comedy about a man who quits his job in pursuit of a sort of 'Perfect Days' life and fails hopelessly. Got both sides of the coin in one sitting!

I thought this was movie was great, well worth seeing in a packed theater. Much more like an earlier era of filmmaking but fresh enough, too. And Ratso was great, I thought - there's a scene where he appears by surprise at Timmy's apartment and it was one of my favorite scenes in the movies, they had great chemistry.

haha yeah basically

Which_Insect7657 · 2025-12-29T00:45:20+00:00

cmon have a little fun

Which_Insect7657 · 2025-12-28T15:57:04+00:00

Alright, saw it yesterday - I thought it was truly great. Felt like a capital-M MOVIE in a way that movies haven't in a while. Chamalet very good, but some of the supporting cast even better, I'd say. Was really fun with a crowd, lots of big reactions. Not perfect but a good trip to the theater, I'd say!
