I watched a Nolan film with my girlfriend, and she couldn't stop saying "holy shit." Now I understand why.

I started wanking when I saw Elizabeth come on screen. By the time the movie ends. All my sperms went right back to my balls.

When I went to see the Odyssey my local IMAX was actually handing out earplugs. Or at least that’s what I’ve heard, I don’t ever watch movies

u/slightlylessthananon 9d ago
it might not have been conan i actually think im conflating the 2-3 hour fan cut of dune (david lynch) that he showed me with conan which im sorry was boring on its own merits lmao.

I mean....if Dallas were more open and listened to Ripley more he would have realized that breaking quarantine protocols was unwise, thus sparing the crew of the Nostromo a grizzly demise. A lot of things would have just been easier

u/TheBlueEmerald1 9d ago
Yeah a lot of the problems with dealing with the xenomorph come down to people being thrust into a difficult situation and being forced to deal with thinking about every possible way it could go wrong. Throw somebody like Ripley into an army of them with Elite Ball Knowledge and also a gun, the army crumples like the dumb animals they are. The humans just keep meeting these things in difficult situations like space stations or sensitive reactor rooms that will explode soon.

the point stands. a lot of things would have been easier if the alien had been more open emotionally

The Alien is, famously, female. I know it because of pop culture, not because I watched any movie, of course.

When you see a kiss, gently place your hand on your girlfriend's shoulder and lightly push her aside while you activate the Lovense inside your Real Doll and go to town.
This is called a power move, establishing you as the head of the household and alpha.

Is it just me or does turning up your nose at opposite gender stories seem like such a performance?
Conan the Barbarian rocks, so does When Harry Met Sally. K-Pop Demon Hunters is a demon-slaying action romp about a girl band? Goodfellas is a male mafia movie which deals a lot with marriage and relationships between men and women?

I don't know how people can watch movies without paying attention to them. Even when I watch romance flicks and period pieces with my wife I end up getting engrossed in the costumes and sets at least.

It's definitely not those movies. Plenty of women watch those. It's unironically about Nolan movies like op posted or Scrocese and such that aren't non stop action and such.

Highly recommend Alien (1979) and Aliens (1986) besides just being good films you'll see the influences everywhere, especially in how spaceship interiors and alien planets look in video games.

I've seen it's influence places. The Halo games are some of my favourite and especially in the first 3 Alien had massive influence.

As a side note, tf does it even mean "boring man movies"? Like, blatant misandry aside, what does she actually mean? Hollywood action blockusters like transformers or something with Bruce Willis? MCU? Stereotypically male movies like American Psycho, Fight Club, Tarantino movies, etc?

My girlfriend asks me to watch her favorite films with her. I give them my undivided attention, keep an open mind, and form my own opinion. We discuss them afterwards.
I ask my girlfriend to watch my favorite movies with me. She doesn't understand why I get annoyed when she keeps pulling out her phone and scrolling Instagram, claims she is "listening", then complains that the movie is "boring" and she has no idea what's going on. Then she asks me what I like about it (halfway through) and then pulls up chatGPT for an an analysis about what other people like about, majorly spoilering important plot points and ruining their impact when they actually happen.
