Kelly the Dog Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I actually did, K-dog. In fact, I doubt I was there longer than 30 or 40 minutes. There is no logical explanation, but whenever adultery is brought into a flick, it bugs me. I'm no moral compass point, I promise, so it doesn't make sense. Having one adultery scene in a movie is one thing. I had no problem with "Fatal Attraction,:" though that's probably because I was so grossed out watching anyone !@#$ Glenn Close. Having the whole movie about it is another thing, though. And I really wanted to like it cuz I had a crush on Tea Leoni back then. 256059[/snapback] To me the subject all depends on how it is promoted in the particular film. Flirting With Disaster was a satiric and often outlandish comedy. It wasn't meant to be taken serious at all, so the constant adultery didn't bother me (because I know exactly what you mean). It was set in a movie world not in the real world. I saw a flick that I was really looking forward to recently because it had an excellent cast, called We Don't Live Here Anymore, and even though there were good performances throughout, i hated it because most everyone in it was an adulterous hedonist prick.

stuckincincy Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I really enjoyed that film.......the interaction between Liam Neeson's character and the kid were classic. The scenes with Collin Firth were very good, too. The whole film was good. 256008[/snapback] We plan on renting "Huckabees" some time. The theaters near us tend to market the heavily advertised flicks, and fill their seats with the illiterate gratituous violence-craving filthy-language self-serving cellphone-addicted VD-infested crowd. Snobby of me, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snobby of me, huh? 256088[/snapback] lmao......I know exactly what you mean. My bro is the GM of the 9th largest theater in metro Atlanta......he'd take a good, smart indy film over a blockbuster most any day of the week and is always lobbying corporate to allow him to dedicate some of his smaller screens to lesser known films. I don't know if you rent from Netflix, but it's truly a Godsend if you rent more than four times per month. Not only is it a huge convenience, their software actually makes personalized recomendations for you based on how you rate films you've already seen. I know there is at least a handful of other very satisfied Netflix subscribers who are regular posters here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do like to go to a movie house though - we certainly like the popcorn (and I found out the "secret" of movie popcorn - they use coconut oil with 92% saturated fat!). A midwest chain, Kerasotes (80 or so outlets) give free pop and popcorn refills. Great savings if you bring youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
