Last Movie/TV Show You Watched?

Lol, do you envision yourself in movies when you watch?

It almost sounds like you were filling a void with tv and movies at one point. I can relate to this feeling having seen a movie before, there's really only one film in recent memory that made me feel similar to this.

 

There was a scene in Captain Fantastic where they stole from a market. The Dad pretended to have a heart attack to distract the store employees while his kids wheeled out shopping carts of food, probably too hard to pull off solo.

 

I'm gonna be honest man. It's a little embarrassing.

I got so absorbed in the new Ghostbusters probably about a month or two ago, and it was mainly Chris Hemsworth's part that had a weird impact on my mind. Like it was a mixture of jealousy and dissatisfaction with my own life, not me as a person, but where I am in life right now. I was so absorbed in the film I even watched it with the director's and filmmakers' commentaries, first time I can remember doing that. I also watched all the outtakes and extras lol.

It left me with this feeling of lack, a feeling of discontentment. It didn't help that I had relapsed shortly before, but like I was comparing myself to Chris Hemsworth and thinking how much money Hollywood actors make and it's like why I am letting Hollywood make me feel crappy about my own life hahahah it was such a distorted and worthless state of mind I fell into.

Now VR is where I draw the line. I tried renouncing the internet lol but that was a bit extreme. But ya the evolution of technology is going to consume humanity. Gotta draw the line somewhere man.

I need to get out into nature every week or I don't feel right. I was trail running recently but I need to get back into it after having stopped for a month or so. I've fallen into an energetic slump. Crawling my way out. I need to be in the forest or an undeveloped secluded natural area without any electronics on me at least once a week I think from now on.

 

I think that can be applied to life in general too

 

Only one show that's on par with it that I can recommend.

It's old. The kind of old you might not be able to get into. Twin Peaks. It's an ingenious, timeless masterpiece of a show actually. The remake premieres this May. Remake of the century probably. Twin Peaks (TV Series 2017– ) - IMDb

I can also recommend something not on par with it, this is subpar imo but these 2 are all I know of: The Killing

 

It was nowhere near as good as season 1 which was tremendously disappointing? I mean I'd like a show to be just as good if not better each season, not worse.

 

I don't think they'd reboot something that old if they weren't going all out with it. I mean yeah it should be super amazing. But ya never really know I guess. No one knows until the pilot.

 

I DON'T WANT ANYONE WHO HAS A PROBLEM WITH WATCHING TOO MUCH TV TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS THREAD UNLESS IT'S TO TELL US HOW MUCH YOU WANT TO QUIT ALL TELEVISION.

(I don't think the above video is related to the one below which I am watching on disc lol or maybe it is HAHAHA)

Watching The Dying of the Light today.

Highly recommended for any cinephiles or wannabe cinephiles. Cinema would be nothing without people who watched films for more than mere mindless entertainment.



The Dying of the Light

 

Looks great. Watched 33 seconds of it. I mean it put a smile on my face, I get the feeling it's awesome, I just don't have the time or interest to pursue animated things these days.

I'll watch an animated film that comes out in the theaters from time to time but my days of anime shows are sadly at an end.

That show really feels like it has a great spirit/heart to it. Somehow magical. Meaningful. Deep.

I can't recommend anybody watch this but it didn't trigger me even though there's some sexual scenes in it, great film. This is film the way it is supposed to be. Well, that's entirely a biased thing to say LOL. Some people think stuff like Michael Bay's Transformers are what makes cinema great


I remember in middle school I used to be OBSESSED WIT DEM NIKES YO! Never was into J's, I was totally an Air Max type of kid.
