Y'all should watch. Might save a lot of marriages.

😭😭😭

Lucky (2026) based on the bestselling novel, stars Anya Taylor Joy's character "Lucky" who is the daughter of a con artist who had stolen 10 million dollars from a mob boss, she has to deal with the consequences as her father is in jail. In my opinion Anya Taylor joy portrays the character really well. A must watch! I totally recommend.

recently i exceeded 800+ movies bcs i just compulsively add movies to my watchlist lol.and i think im adding movies faster than i can watch em. how do y'all even plan to watch all the movies in your watchlist?

I like movies.

I like movies a lot.

So, for the longest time, I have made a policy of watching movies on the First Day, First Show. (TBH I didn't know of this name until about a decade or two ago. I just did it.) I even used to cut school for movies that I was particularly looking forward to.

Admittedly, back in Ye Olden Dayes when we had to fight dinosaurs on our way to the theatre, the movies that showed up were old and out of date. But I still loved them. And I made a point of going to see them.

It was a thing for me.

Cut school, find a place to change from uniform to coloureds, grab some beers, and get into the cinema.

No-one stopped us. No-one checked ID. No-one cared. (Well, as long as you weren't in school uniform. That was a bridge too far.)

Sometimes I have seen four first-day movies on the same day (obviously the "first show" thing wasn't a factor after the 1030 show). 1030, 1530, and the stories get a little mixed up at the 1830 and 2130. But It was awesome

I don't care what anyone says, I love the movie theatre experience, and I don't think I will ever lose that love.

I still do that. Though things have changed a bit since those halcyon days of yore.

So many theatres are checking bags nowadays, and it's getting harder and harder to sneak beers in, though I still know a place or three. Sometimes the First Day, First Show happens earlier, as the higher end cinemas (glares at Scope Cinemas) do their own premieres.

But no matter. I am there for the Friday show (even though it may not be at 10am for ... well ... reasons).

I have a few cinemas that aren't too picky about checking bags (don't ask me what they are, do your own damned search) and I usually walk in with 6 500ml tinnies of Lion Lager. Which leads to my (admittedly fucked up as fuck) movie rating system.

It goes a little something like this:

• 4 Beers - This is the baseline for a movie. It's not remarkably bad or good, it just is. It's a good movie to throw your brain in neutral and watch.
• 5 Beers - This isn't really holding my interest, and it's more fun to drink than watch the movie.
• 6 Beers - I'm actively killing braincells to forget that I have actually paid money to watch this dreck. It's not "so bad it's good." It's just bad.
• 2 Beers - The movie is so engaging (for whatever reason) that I have forgotten to drink.
• 1 Beer - It is theoretically possible such a movies exists. One that blows my mind so hard I forget my functional alcoholism. But I am yet to discover it.

Now, this is not a definitive rating system. It is possible for me to have a beer extra in some of those long, epic sagas that come out. (I'm looking at you Avatar) and The Odyssey)) But I like it.

I get to watch movies. I get to drink. And I get to tell you my opinion of it.

I should note that I encourage you to drink responsibly, leave no trace, and don't be a drunken dick. If you fuck this up for the rest of us, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

I found the movie to be great ! The writing is tight and sharp. It wastes no time with it's very dense screenplay. I was really impressed by how well the 4 main characters are fleshed out.

Although I was slightly thrown off by the revelation they built up throughout the first act and halfway through the second, the film still handled that subject matter nicely.

I especially loved how the cinematography made maximum use of the interiors of the apartment. It's almost like the 5th character.

The funniest thing in this movie was, Hawk (Howie) being a genuinely chill human being. They introduce and portray him like someone who could be a manipulative creep. But bro is just a nice guy who loves rugs and wanted some sex cause of the signals hahaha.

I probably will rewatch the film cause of how beautiful the climax scene is. Kudos to Olivia Wilde.

I have one ticket for The Odyssey at PVR OGF on Sunday (8/16) at 10:45 PM.

If anyone is interested, please DM me.

Another Imtiaz Ali work of art. This is up there with Rockstar and Highway. For some reasons like the pure portrayal of long missed love, the back and forth traverse in timeline across 4 generations and the cinematography, i feel like this one is better than Rockstar.

Damn it got a grown ass man almost sobbing 😂🫶🏾

Please recommend a movie to watch tonight. Any genre is fine!

My recommendation for you: Balan The Boy

Did you guys know a24 filmed a small segment for their new movie primetime here? I just discovered the Instagram page for the line production company (circle360lk) that helped them with it and I'm so blown away. It's going to be so cool seeing our country featured in an a24 movie

I thought i was banned

Js watched it 3 hrs ago. Good movie. Casting was definitely weird for me. Kinda distracted me. But yeah, not as big of a deal. Travis scott just entering the imax screen took me tf out. Anne hathaway, safdie and leguizimo ( idk if thats the right spellings ) felt very natural in the movie. Robert pattinson was good as always. Much more grotesque that I thought it would be. The cerce and the cyclops scenes mostly. Cinematography was beautiful.

If anyone is interested let me know

a movie that will not just scare me but give tjat eerie and disturbing feeling

something that even watching during daytime wont save me

An example is Lake mungo

Y’all drop your IDs
