it’s been a while since I’ve done my movie thing. Which movies/shows have made you cry? is that actually a thing that happens to you or are you unaffected by fiction?

If it turned out there was a tiny black hole orbiting our sun I would really have to start living life to the fullest because that is a terrifying thought

Haha I work the night shift at a warehouse unloading freight, a pretty mundane blue collar job. I think the thing I stuck with the longest is music though, Im still trying to make a go of it. A lot of my friends are talented musicians or artists but most of us couldn't get our s**t together enough to make it happen. I think most people have the same story.

Idk why I chose it, Im just a tad self deprecating I suppose. But yes I did play sports as a kid, I played little league baseball and I played high school golf. I also went out for football but I didn’t make the cut, I was very bad at remembering plays. but I also did theater in high school which was probably what I was best at, around the same time I started a club for film analysis too. I’m a regular renaissance man!oh I forgot I was in band too, but I was in it for trombone which I was bad at, but I play piano and guitar which I’m good at. And in general I did well in writing/journalism and history, but very poorly in math and science. So lots of balance there haha less

When I saw the question I assumed everyone’s answers would be upsetting to me, like no one was worried about getting stds. Not that any one on here comes off as careless, but I've noticed that most people out in the real world get offended when they’re asked to take a test, and basically answer with “how dare you.” And then I see an article about how std percentages are rising or that we now have super chlamydia or something and I think yeah, because everyone thinks they’re too good for the test! But this thread might just be evidence that I’m seeing some skewed figures, or that I’m not giving people enough credit less

I could not control myself, and I was pretty sure I was fired, but I had some support and corroboration from the other employees so they didn’t do anything. It felt amazing and a friend of mine who worked there too had to review the security tape, and he said it was glorious.Then later I got fired for being late. less

The kinds of men who buy into this stuff are the kinds of men who would be simply bad partners at best, and abusive at worst. By taking themselves out of the game, they’re doing women a favor.

Not to mention they use cgi to do entire backgrounds now and it’s always really off putting

Rocket man and bohemian rhapsody look like an snl sketch. movies like terminator genisys and the various x men movies set in the 60s and 70s are cringingly phony looking. Stranger things is way more up its own butt with 80s stuff than the actual 80s were. Once you start going back further than the 20th century movies become about as accurate as they’ve Always been, but why do we suddenly suck at making recent history feel the least bit real? less

It’s meant to restrict woman’s rights while being as un-straightforward about it as possible so they can cling to the illusion that their motivation is about protecting woman.

As for individual traits I actually find dark circles or a little baggage under the eyes to be kind of sexy. I also like gappy teeth for some reason, like not just the front space but gaps in all the top teeth. That one probably sounds pretty weird but I once new a girl like that who was really cute, and since then I've counted imperfect teeth as a bonus when it comes to looks. less

Just yes or no, and if you want describe the style in which you shred. And, hell, craziest road stories. Keep it debaucherous, if it's not sleazy and disgusting I don't wanna hear about it.

But there are so many movies that weren't perfect that are begging for a new attempt, movies that were flawed but that had good foundations, and that would work really well in today's world.Which one would you like to see? How would you cast it? Would you need to modernize the core concept, or keep would you keep it the same?

Or Groundhog Day.

She's certainly a pretty famous actor and gets a fair amount of praise, but most people don't know that she's a screenwriter too, and adapted the screenplay for Sense and Sensibility, a movie I really love.I think Adam Sandler deserves credit for his more serious roles. Most people see him as a childish comedian but he's much deeper than that, when he wants to be. less

Lots of dystopian sci-fi movies come out every year, and ironically now a days they're all kind of crappy and cheap looking, like many aspects of the hypothesized economy of the future.But there's still a lot of great ones to choose from, like Children of Men, V for Vendetta, The Lobster, and yes... Idiocracy. I love that movie but the answer people always give to this question is Idiocracy. No Idiocracy!Also you don't even have to name a sci-fi, some movies predict the future without even setting it there, like Network. less

Or are they more of a chameleon, just there to serve that specific story in that specific way?Do they write and direct? Or do they mainly do one or the other?It's hard to choose a favorite, but Charlie Kaufman (who mainly just writes but directed one of his films which happens to be my favorite of his) has had a very large personal impact on my life.

So your parameters can be, for some examples, that your pick has more good entries than any other franchise, or the highest percentage of good ones, or the series as a whole averages out to be better than anything else, or maybe all together your choice has the most compelling concept, or it changed movies more than any other franchise.Or maybe you just simply enjoy them the most!My pick is the Back to the Future trilogy. I love all three films pretty much equally, they set out to tell one over arching story and achieved that, and it isn't pulled down by 5 other terrible sequels. It ended with dignity and to me, it is the only perfect franchise. less

Not necessarily because they're sad or tragic (though some of them are), more because there's a realness, or precious quality to them. I feel melancholy for days but I also have this weird clean slate feeling, where suddenly there's a little optimism coming back into my life and I feel kind of good about the future."Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" is one for me. "The Royal Tenenbaums" is another, along with "Almost Famous", and oddly "The Princess Bride". And "Synecdoche, New York" Is probably the most wonderfully depressing movie I've ever seen. less

Least favorite? Who's your favorite Bond Girl? Who would you like to see be the next Bond? Or do you think it no longer makes sense in this era and should finally end?My favorite entries are: You Only Live Twice, The Spy Who Loved Me, Living Daylights, GoldenEye, and Casino Royale. My least Favorite is Quantum of Solace.Sean Connery will always be the bar in my opinion. Honestly I've liked every version of Bond, they've all had at least one good one in my opinion and were appropriate for their time.Diana Rigg, Barbara Bach, and Michelle Yeoh are the most badass Bond girls.There was a lot of talk about Idris Elba being the next Bond, Which I would be fine with.I would however also be fine with it's discontinuation. less

You can rate them all if you'd like, my list from favorite to least favorite goes 6, 4 & 2 in a tie, 3, 1, 5. Honestly though, with the exception of 5, I love them all.I'm really bored and I have no one to talk to about this with.
If you don't see yours on here, write it in. However, I'm only counting shows that are a different story and cast each episode, not an anthology show that changes only once a season (i.e. American Horror Story). Any options on here include all seasons and every incarnation of that concept.
