The Holdovers

solid one. i don't know if it's just the Boston thing, but I put this and good will hunting together a lot.


and to the other on GWH, i don't find anything bittersweet about it. RW and SS reconcile genuinely, RW decides to move on with his life, Will chooses love and to leave a life behind that he knew he could never keep up, and Affleck is happy that that Will doesn't walk out the door.

happy in every regard.

Is it watchable even for someone that hates musicals?

---

i wouldn't say i hate musicals, but i sure don't seek them out. :lol:

my list of liked musicals is Les Mis, La La Land, and Greatest Showman (solely for the music, it's a ridiculous movie.)

my wife will occasionally watch Momma Mia, Grease, WSS, Moulin Rouge, etc. when it's on Pluto or something and I will find yardwork to do.

pretentious assholes who view them as some sort of "art" call them films

normal people who just like entertainment call them movies.

---

they're all just movies. i don't call them anything other than in polite company because i'm not a complete douche.

but i do say in our house, we define what we're watching as flicks, films, and movies. but we do that in terms of what kind of thing we want to watch.

Drop was a great little flick.
Sinners was a good movie
Warfare was a film.

again, that's just in house douchebaggery, not how i'd talk about it in polite company.

Wind River
La La Land
Casa Blanca
Greatest Show on Earth
Castaway
Children of Men

Episodes in 6 and I am ashamed about it.

---

nah. they buried it pretty well till 5. could have been a pile of SyFi shows.

i lived with and took care of my grandmother most of college so i always had a roof over my head, but i paid for all my own school as i went and every January and August, I emptied my bank account and had to hope to make it to next paycheck. lots of $5 gas fillups.

skipped a lot of meals most of college and took every extra hour of work i could.

my now wife paid for way more meals than she should have at the time. i don't even really know how i dated at the time.

Very minor one at beginning and end. Not a major plot.

I get it’s a device to further dehumanize the people involved, but why specifically Dora? Because Dora the Explorer spoke Spanish?

---

As a Christian, I don’t want to dehumanize anybody. Everybody deserves dignity.

That being said, the entire process is trying to humanize a broken system to deflect criticism from that system.

I want Dora (VML) to be with her parents in a stable two parent household.

But her parents were in a shithole country, traveled thousands of miles through multiple countries that let her through, got through our border, and was let stay in when it’s obvious they were gaming the system. They’re choosing to separate instead of just deport together.

Nonetheless, her parents knew their situation was in jeopardy since the election and decided to stick around instead of wisely self deporting.

I don’t want anything bad to happen to anybody ever, but these people that didn’t get their affairs in order when the incoming administration was telegraphing exactly what was about to happen are liars and retards.

The pain of this situation is on the parents and the people of the system that let it get to this point.

They were trying to throw shade at Trump, which is hilarious that Trump
Tweeted for a team to pick him today.

saw it this afternoon with my oldest.

i liked it a lot. great music. both of the big sets were fantastically directed.

i don't think this is the greatest thing since sliced bread like everybody is making it out to be, but it was really enjoyable. I'd actually compare it to Black Panther where people are treating it like a 10 when it's a really good 8.5. i know that won't be popular.

i don't like gore and they did a decent job of not making it so bloody and disgusting that somebody like me couldn't enjoy
