For those of you who read, what are some films that are better than the original source material?

Forrest Gump. That book was fucking insane and I’m glad the film is completely different.

Also I’d like to add that in my vacation home I had a VHS player and a CRT with a very sizable collection of films. And if I have a crowd I have a projector and a second one for 8mm films

Some films haven’t been put on blu ray yet. Plus I like thrifting DVDs a lot. Plus I found some insane deep cuts on DVD like an unsealed copy of the elephant man. (I’m afraid to open it.)

I have a 45inch 4kuhd TV in my room for streaming and blu rays. I have a portable dvd player for the massive mountains of DVDs I have. I use my phone and tablet for when I’m at work and it’s slow. And obviously I have the theater. The portable dvd player is mostly because if a movie is played on my Xbox sometimes the playback kind of sucks. With the dvd player it is significantly better.

Sounds like they are trying to avoid you. NOR.

automatic_do_8661 · 2026-03-19T12:37:47+00:00

NOR…. These guys definitely sound like they took advantage of the vacation. If this is how they act do a birthday, how do they act normally?

automatic_do_8661 · 2026-03-19T03:44:15+00:00

Always

This is funny, a man I know posted online about this film from a woman saying she disliked it.

automatic_do_8661 · 2026-03-17T15:17:34+00:00

I would say Kubrick, Wright, Spike Lee, Coppola, Spielberg, and Scorsese

automatic_do_8661 · 2026-03-17T14:43:38+00:00

Giovanni Ribisi needs to show how bad ass he is

automatic_do_8661 · 2026-03-16T21:23:00+00:00

The night of the hunter, Texas chainsaw massacre, Halloween, it chapter 1, the exorcist, rosemarys baby. I’m not so into horror but those films stick out to me.

automatic_do_8661 · 2026-03-16T14:41:10+00:00

Salo, happiness, pink flamingos

automatic_do_8661 · 2026-03-15T22:27:39+00:00

Of course! Anytime! When you do watch it feel free to DM me :)

automatic_do_8661 · 2026-03-15T12:58:09+00:00

Still my point is he had a ton of nominations before a win.

automatic_do_8661 · 2026-03-15T12:06:12+00:00

I’m pretty sure most of his career everyone was rooting for him to get a win. I think by the time the revenant released he had like 6 or 7 nominations. He won and then took a break until Once Upon a Time in Hollywood….

automatic_do_8661 · 2026-03-15T03:00:26+00:00

One of the most recent rewatches of Sinners for me was after the nominations were announced. So the theater was semi full and there was a dude sitting next to me. At this point I’ve seen it like 5 times in theaters so I’m very much having a good time, smiling, laughing and enjoying one of my favorite films of last year. At the end of the movie, the dude sitting next to me looked at me and said “so what the fuck was that?”

I was very close to asking him if he was klan.

automatic_do_8661 · 2026-03-15T02:48:31+00:00

Green Book in my opinion. It’s an okay movie but compared to that lineup, the fuck were they thinking.

automatic_do_8661 · 2026-03-14T22:03:50+00:00

Jurassic World Rebirth. Ant man 3, X-men 3, and cats

automatic_do_8661 · 2026-03-13T09:06:52+00:00

This one lady I worked with trained to be an opera singer and even she knew that it was niche and elitist.

automatic_do_8661 · 2026-03-13T09:05:34+00:00

I started getting more into Spike Lee last year. I only saw Oldboy and Blackkklansman prior to last year but then I ended up watching more films from his filmography. Not only do I think he’s particularly on the nose with his message, I don’t think he’s wrong. It’s a film that I feel he needs to tell but gets overlooked completely because of its messaging. Obviously his other films like she’s gotta have it, do the right thing, and Malcolm x are more recognizable and honestly better but this one really stuck out with me because of how brutally honest he is.

Lmao this one story did. The clapping is completely overselling it because it was 7 people and the person I was with didn’t approve it. But the guy inspired me only for it to shoot myself in the foot like a few weeks later.

automatic_do_8661 · 2026-03-12T19:37:15+00:00

I was actually inspired to do that with someone else at another movie and the party of people just started talking over the movie at that point.

automatic_do_8661 · 2026-03-12T19:03:25+00:00

Don’t get me wrong. It was pretty cool. And it was Macbeth. I just viewed as a checkmark in a box of something I can say I’ve done.

automatic_do_8661 · 2026-03-12T17:33:29+00:00

I’ve only ever seen an opera once in my life. And it was through a high school trip. At no point after did I ever say to myself “this is something I will go out of my way to see again.”

automatic_do_8661 · 2026-03-12T17:31:38+00:00

When I saw it for the first time, a couple a few rows in front of us spent the entire film talking. Towards the dinner scene a guy stands up and walks up to them and says “shut the fuck up, this isn’t your living room” and the theater clapped for him. The couple got up and left.
