I'm waiting foe winter to be over. I have a Valentines one already[/quote]

[quote=AgrippinaX][quote=MovieGal][quote=AgrippinaX]Overall it’s definitely a ‘me’ problem, but it’s so rare that I actually *love* a movie these days, that I don’t want to waste those.[/quote]


Have you seen Nocturnal Animals?

I enjoyed it but the friends I went with did not.[/quote]

Yes, I really, really enjoyed that. It’s was a rare ending where I went, ‘Hell, yeah.’[/quote]

I know I am.  I’ve seen 38 of the films on the shortlists.[/quote]

[quote=Sedai]Great example of the film with a vast difference in quality when comparing the theatrical and director's cuts...[/quote]

[quote=AgrippinaX][quote=MovieGal]I asked my sister once to go see a film with me. I knew it was definitely my type but not hers. 

We saw Kingdom of Heaven.  

I asked her afterwards what she thought of it. She said she liked it but didn't understand it.[/quote]

That’s quite the response though. I’d be happy with that. When I tend to bring people along to watch ‘my type of movie, not theirs’, it tends to end badly for me. They criticise it, or take the opposite side than I do, and I get upset. Not that I really go into it, but I’ve had a great many films I initially loved ruined for me in this way.[/quote]

Looking more and more like last year was an anomaly, as once again this year most of the (most likely) BP contenders don't interest me. I liked a large majority of the films last year, but I have a feeling I will have trouble working my way through the entire list this time around.[/quote]

Yeah, I used to do this, or attempt it, anyway, but I no longer want to watch something I have zero interest in just because it might get an Oscar. Looking at you, ‘Wicked’, ‘The Piano Lesson’ et al.[/quote]


I never cared either about the Oscar contenders. I watched whatever I want to see, whether up for an Oscar or not.[/quote]

Exactly. To be fair, I was only doing it because I do try to broaden my horizons. It seems myopic to only watch what I think I’m bound to like. But these days I’m somewhat descending into that.[/quote]


I watch pretty much anything except American Comedies.  I will watch some but not a great many. Depends on the type of humor.[/quote]
