I never did see 1917 for some reason so I can’t compare it to that.
I won't spoil it for you, but the "thing" 1917 does, it does incredibly well. I thought it was the best movie that year, better than Parasite. [Reply]
So I hadn't heard of it. I must have missed it when it came out, but Man on a Ledge is a decent watch. I didn't see a lot of it coming (although I'll admit I was doing FSA reports through most all of it. [Reply]
Just finished watching Don’t Worry Darling. Was a really weird movie. But… I plan on watching it 200000 more times simply for Florence Pugh. Jesus she is impossible to take your eyes off. Stunningly beautiful! [Reply]

Just added it to my list! Sounds very promising! [Reply]

We saw it Saturday and LOVED it. If you work in the food industry, have ever worked in the food industry, or know someone who works in the food industry, especially fine dining, you have to go see this. [Reply]

As for "meaningless", to each their own.
Exactly... It was a great movie. We went and saw it last night and I think there was about 10 other people in the theater watching it. My wife leaned over at one point to tell me to quit laughing my ass off. The scene where they give the guy in the chicken coop his prize... I just about lost it. [Reply]
