Random Social Chit-Chat v. Illuminati Confirmed

^geez louise, man.. come on.

dude, everyone knows elastigirl stretches, she doesn't friggin expand. that would be just silly. her total mass remains the same. derhhh.
 
There's a thread on this movie, but if you go to the thread that is the Film Index when you click on The Wrestler it leads to Synecdoche, New York. Someone might want to fix that.
Or, serendipitously, they could have GIVEN AN INTERPRETATION OF THE FILM! That’s my thread there, about a work that represents Kaufman’s only directorial output thus far. People around the world use drugs and this is a worldwide site, so somebody should have an interpretation besides me ... right?

Her tits could get bigger with the same principle that her arms stretch out farther. Plus she can expand her body to form a human parachute, so I would think she could stretch her hips and ass out a bit. Although she already did look like she had a good figure when she was in that tight Incredibles uniform.

What do drugs have to do with it? I don't recall any drug use in Synecdoche. As far as Kaufman films go I liked Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, and Eternal Sunshine quite a bit more than Synecdoche, which felt dragged out to me. I'd heard some people speak highly of it, so I kept feeling like I was missing some grand idea or message. It just wasn't a movie I could get into. I thought it was depressing and I found myself bored for the first time in a long time while watching a film. My opinion doesn't matter though what with me being your basic film charlatan. 8)

Heh, drugs have nothing to do with it. My bringing up drugs was simply to highlight that, because everybody likes to take a short cut to feeling good by using drugs, Bluelight is more representative of human diversity than most "topic" websites (we attract a wide variety of people). Using all caps was just me prodding anybody out there to respond to the film i.e. I want to discuss interpretations of its meaning and I'm frustrated because nobody has taken the bait. The "... right?" is to inquisitively communicate hopefulness of response. I'm not sure what you mean by calling yourself a film charlatan. I meant no offense.

I think I would have watched The Wrestler years earlier if someone had told me that Marisa Tomei's ass and titties were so prominently featured. She is smokin' hot!

Even without that sweet, sweet ass it was still a good movie. Better than I thought it would be.

blow a saturday afternoon and watch The Wrestler and Black Swan back to back.
 
good combo, although black swan takes so much from perfect blue (a film aronofski has taken from before)
 
So for 2013 I planned to do a Movie-A-Day thing, but that got complicated too quickly, so instead I'm just shooting see 365 new movies this year. I just reached #100 last night, here's my list so far:

100 Movies, 87 Days


I really doubt I'll be able to keep up this pace for the rest of the year. It's kind of exhausting, tbh.
 
I watch whatever I'm in the mood for. Usually I choose from films that I have in my Hulu and Netflix queues, but I'll flip through a few before I find one that appeals to me at the time.
 
Man! I just watched the first Game of Thrones episode, my first ever, and FUCK I'm hooked. I'm ready to buy seasons of this show like right this instant. On to episode 2!


Didn't feel right posting this in the Game of Thrones thread... I didn't want to see any story developments to spoil the experience for me. :\

Word. I'm a bit behind you, at 76 now. 100 is impressive so quick. I was closer to the 1 a day average at the beginning of March, but it was too hard with my schedule and I didn't want to feel forced to watch something or feel like it was a chore. If it wasn't fun anymore or felt like work than there was no point in keeping it up. Plus, if I want to watch any seasons of TV shows than it takes away from the time I'd spend watching movies. Even though my list of movies to watch is still extremely long, it's nice to take a break from watching so many and instead get involved in watching seasons of a TV show.

I hit 156 last year, so I'm hoping to hit between 250-300 this year.
