Dreaming?
... apparently I was.
Ok, so I decided to show my roommates that I'm not quite the mindless, internet-addicted social burden that they have likely concluded. In my subtle attempt, I made a few movie suggestions that could depict SOME level of competence and appreciation for thought-provoking subjects. This, I thought, would serve to show them I had a brain as well as great taste in movies -hopefully deminishing their pre-conceived notions.
This particular movie was a bit off, I'll admit. But I still thought it was really well done. The plot seemed somewhat vague and unless you're in the right mood I'm sure most would have found some scenes a bit graphic. In all, I think that's what made the movie for me. I watched it alone last night and immediately got it. Tonight we watched together and I found myself ENRAGED having to explain the obvious and repeatedly remind that "if you pay attention it will all come together in the end". Why is this a difficult concept for so many people? It's a fucking movie. There's a start, some shit in the middle to make you think and an ending that somehow ties things together for you. No surpises there. Don't ask me to ruin it for you or ask me to explain what's going on when it's clear. In fact, don't fucking open your mouth. People that talk during movies should be shot in the face with a ball of their own shit. I have NO tolerance for it. This goes ESPECIALLY when they ask you to repeat what was just clearly explained...
Well, the movie ended. The response I got: " omg, that was... different."
I asked myself, was it "different" because you genuinely FAILED to pick up on the meaning? Was it that you were pre-occupied with irrelevant details and fell behind and became completely lost? Finally, were you NOT getting it at all because you lost interest and chose to gab and comment instead?
Regardless, I doubt that my point was made. Now I've just embellished "bad renter" to my list of wretched qualities. lol I can't win.

i agree wholeheartedly except with the punishment. knowing my roommates' penchant for repeating the fat bastard's line from the spy who shagged me, "everyone likes their own brand!", i think it should definitely be yours that you penalise them with. people who use "different" to describe a movie clearly have A.D.D. and a serious lack of diversity in their lives!
p.s. click on the title link to see the movie, cute one.
The movie was The Dreamers...
