Top 3

Sorry krg. I’ve upset you. I didn’t mean to. I just wanted to relate it to things I know about. I wanted to belong and feel part of something. It’s hard work being on the periphery all the time. An outsider, a reject.

Grow up gav. You’re ruining a decent thread, mate.

S’ok, you know I can’t stay mad at you.

No Worries Fatso is emotionally immature, it’s a genetic fault, it’s well known. When he next logs in it’s best not to mention it though :laughing:

Just spell things in a simple way and agree with him. If he bares his teeth or gets excited just talk slowly then leash him and put him in the cage.

It’s not my teeth you need to worry about me baring

I did the same on the flags thread :lou_sad: I’m better than this and I apologise.

Apology accepted, let’s all just move on. Just try not to do it again, ok?

I accept your apology, so why the hate about Anomolisa?

I’m fucking relentless

Aside from my top 3 thread, what was I thinking :

What didn’t I like about it…it’s been a while since I saw it but I think I found the whole thing impersonal. I like stories about nothing but only when you can get invested in the people. And I never got invested in these characters. I didn’t see the point of telling the story in this way. It seemed to just be showing off for the sake of it. If a story is interesting and worth watching then let’s watch it. Why the need for puppets? It just didn’t interest me.

It’s not a story about nothing, it’s on the face of it a terrible middle aged guy whose a narcissisist or some guy who is trapped in a narrative spiral or maybe a guy with mental health issues who imagines the whole thing. Either way Charlie Kaufman is head and shoulders above anyone writing drama

Do you know what, it’s been so long since I saw it, I can’t remember enough to make a sensible comment. I just remember I didn’t enjoy it. And that’s what I’m like with art…I know what I like and I know what I don’t like. I’m sorry Ted. I feel I’ve let you down. If I could, I’d tell you I loved it, but I didn’t. I don’t want our relationship to be built on lies. I need to go to bed now. I feel today has been a failure for me. I feel unhappy with my general performance.

i haven’t watched too many films this year hit’ rather quickly and without wanting to upset anyone, if I had to pick three it would be…

Hunt for the Wilderpeople

the revenant

deadpool

It was originally a Radio play in 2004. With the same cast. It obviously won every award and there was an argument over the script. Thing is Charlie Kaufman isnt a hollywood guy. He’s in my opinion the greatest writer about the human condition than Kafka

Ted, I like Kaufman. You don’t need to convince me about how good he is, but I just don’t like the film. I think that’s ok if I don’t like it. I’m sure he wouldn’t mind.

I’m sure he doesn’t mind.

Definitely borrowed visually from Barton Fink
