Sam's Thread of Chattin' w/ Jake & Other Robust Subjects

[Lee]

7000?

 

[Lee]

That's pretty much the reaction I always get when I share my non-love of that grumpy faced baw-sack.

To be fair, he's overrated as fuck. I lvoe Wes Anderson movies but Grand Budapest and Moonrise Kingdom were the best because he is essentially a bit part in it.

 

[Uncle Sam]

But The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.

And Ghostbusters.

And Groundhog Day.

And Lost in Translation.

And, to a lesser extent, Scrooged.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Nope to all. I've seen several of his films but I just can't stand him.

May as well add that I'm not a Wes Anderson fan either although I can understand his appeal. Not for me though.

Double fuck you.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Lee's right, you know.

 

[Lee]

Lee's right, you know.

Damn rights I am.

Just rewatched The Royal Tenenbaums. Bloody good movie.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Fuck.

 

[JGlass]

I didn't like Lost in Translation. More like Lost an Hour and a Half of my Life, amiright?

I did like Robin Williams, though. An absolute comic genius and from all accounts a fantastic human being. Hopefully his death will raise awareness for depression and suicide, but it's very sad that it had to happen this way.

The praise for the movie probably comes from all of the internet forever aloners who live vicariously through Bill Murray's character. I just found the missed connections section on Craigslist and it's hilarious. Check that out for some entertainment from the same demographic that fawns over that movie.

But I seriously thought it was decent.

 

[Lee]

I've never seen it.

Also thanks for that text Sam, I legit laughed out loud.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

A shame and all that, but it seems I'm the only person around that wasn't a fan of Robin Williams.

There are a lot of people I'd live vicariously through before a lonely, depressed celebrity that doesn't even get to sleep with Scarlet Johansson.

 

[Lee]

Have you seen 'Safety not guaranteed'?

 

[Uncle Sam]

I have. It's in my... 2012 list? Mid-table but I liked it well enough.

 

[Lee]

I loved it, been a long time since I've found a movie so charming. That and I'm a bit in love with Aubrey Plaza.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I liked her in Scott Pilgrim.

 

[Dowdsy McDowds]

Have you seen 'Safety not guaranteed'?

I know the main guy from a show about fantasy football called The League. I imagine the ending can be hit or miss for some people but it was a definite hit for me.

 

[TLC]

I enjoyed Safety Not Gauranteed, I think it was probably the cast for me though. Looking forward to what the director can do with the new Jurassic Park instalment.

 

[Uncle Sam]

We nearly got away from talking about our movie obsession for a bit there, huh?

"I've done that. I've done that. I did that too. I don't think anyone's done that."

Good Will Hunting's on BBC One just now. Wonder why they're--

Robin Williams just appeared and it hurt a bit.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Talk me out of seeing Boyhood before it's too late. You've got 20 minutes to reply.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I dropped the ball on that one.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

You still have time. I saw the Unbeatables & The Expendables instead.

 

[Uncle Sam]

You probably should have seen Boyhood, man.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

3 hours though!
