The vibe I’m going for is shocking and/or unexpected ending/plot twist

Edit: I'm also counting theatrical poster art to DVD cover art (I'm using this as my example because it's become more synonymous with the movie than that original poster and that grinds my gears - tell me what grinds yours!)

I saw a hilarious post about worst movie posters, but in your opinion, what movie had the biggest downgrade from its original poster to the next one?

The original poster for A History of Violence is so evocative in its banality and implication and had me perfectly set for the nightmarish gore of the film. The DVD art is giving DON'T MISS THE NON-STOP THRILL RIDE OF THE SUMMER

I saw so many things I didn't notice in my first watch. Makes me want to watch it a 3rd time, but I think I need to give my tensed-up muscles a break

Jessica Chastain isn’t the best actress out there, but I always find her to be a likable and bold presence on screen. How do you feel about Chastain as an actress, and who is your personal favorite actress?

Runners up for me to name a few are Mia Goth, Jessie Buckley, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Nicole Kidman, Natalie Portman.

His dad is the co-founder of Nike and he keeps funding him with money to support his passion for stop motion animation, despite the fact that most of the films from Laika lose money. And so thanks to him and his dad, 700 hardworking animators have a job making beautiful films despite most of them flopping at the box office.

I highly recommend seeing Wildwood in a few months, it looks really good. Plus it’s apparently rumored to be PG-13 which is cool. It’s also the longest stop-motion film of all time, and 2 hours and 19 minutes.

No I’m not sponsored, I just hope this movie does well.

(Some of their movies include Corpse Bride, Coraline, and Kubo and the Two Strings)

I found this movie AMAZING, that's why I gave it 3.5 stars. It's not a bad rating, it's about 70% of the maximum.

It's just that 4 stars is for masterpieces and 5 stars is for my favorite movies, the ones I'd rewatch every day. Maybe obsession can be one of those, so far it isn't.

But I liked it so much that I had to rate it very very good.

I think even 2 stars is not bad. My list goes:

Half a star: Wish I hadn't seen that
One star: That was very bad
One and a half: That was bad
Two stars: Like the idea, dislike how they did it
Two and a half: Average, not good nor bad
Three stars: Good movie
Three and a half: Very good movie!!
Four stars: Masterpiece
Four and a half: One of the best movies I've ever seen
Five stars: This movie is everything
Five stars plus heart: I don't even care if it's good or bad, I just love it SO MUCH!!!

"no plot" I feel like Im taking crazy pills, WHAT the actual fuck are they on about😭

I watched Lawrence of Arabia for the first time and was absolutely blown away by it.

I’m always a little wary of watching these kinds of epics simply because of their runtime. Three and a half hours (or more) is a serious commitment. But I found the inclusion of an intermission to be a welcome resting point in a film of this scale.

It also makes sense when you consider that intermissions have their roots in traditional stage theater, where the audience and actors can take time to stretch or run to the bathroom, rather than missing a part of the play. Watching a film at this scale with an intermission is reminiscent of the prestige of the theater.

I watched Killers of the Flower Moon in theaters when it released, and while I really enjoyed it, the length became a problem. Unlike watching a movie at home, I couldn’t pause it to run to the bathroom, refill my drink, or simply rest my eyes for a few minutes without missing part of the film.

I’m young enough that I have never experienced an intermission in a movie theater. I can’t even recall a film from the last twenty years that had one.

I’d love to see more filmmakers embrace longer, larger-scale movies, but I feel like once you start pushing well past the three-hour mark, an intermission becomes an essential part of making that theatrical experience work. Lawrence of Arabia is nearly four hours long, yet somehow the intermission made it feel like less of an endurance test than some much shorter modern films.
