neutral · AI labelView post →Angel Studios made its bones as the distributor for SOUND OF FREEDOM, which had a “Pay it Forward” scheme in the credits for you to purchase tickets via QR code for other people to go see the movie
neutral · AI labelView post →One time, I was staying in a hotel w/ my family & I got in trouble, so my punishment was to “go to sleep” while everybody else watched a movie This was not a suite. It was two beds w/ a tv. idk what they thought was gon happen, but I fake slept & watched “Pay it Forward” through one eye that night
neutral · AI labelView post →ICYMI, we watched Pay it Forward and mostly talked about The Orville. The big takeaway is that we CAN fix the world, but at what cost?? Kevin was there, lightly Deadpooled. I'll be calling all angels to join us again next week, same place, same time! (Same movie? Perhaps!!!)

neutral · AI labelView post →Pay It Forward. Mawkish and manipulative to an extent I found offensive capped off with a cheap shot ending. Absolute bullshit movie. I walked out of it furious and now that I'm remembering it, turns out I'm still mad 25 years later.
negative · AI labelView post →Pay it Forward…I hate that movie with the heat of a thousand suns.

positive · AI labelView post →The other night I couldn't fall asleep because I couldn't stop thinking about how much I hated the film Pay It Forward
negative · AI labelView post →YES WE DO.. love make us better, remember the movie where the child, PAY IT FORWARD? Love, It helps our heart heals. We can survive when we know we love each other and we care. We can’t do that with hate. No world peace until we LOVE 💕
neutral · AI labelView post →Lmao completely forgot this but my high school had a "Pay It Forward" week for at least a couple years where they played this movie in the cafeteria all week and you were supposed to live by its principles or something that week(?)

neutral · AI labelView post →What’s a movie that just really disturbed you when you were younger ? I’ll start: Pay it Forward 😭
neutral · AI labelView post →Easy….PAY IT FORWARD (2000)!!!! What a manipulative piece of shit movie. Pissed off at the end of this movie. I couldn’t believe they went there. All that talent wasted.
negative · AI labelView post →I’m just thinking about Osment’s career and it’s crazy how this is SO MUCH BETTER of a movie about the healing power of helping others than Pay It Forward.
neutral · AI labelView post →Thinking about how in the movie Pay it Forward, Kevin Spacey beats up a guy who tries sexually assaulting Haley Joel Osment, and the irony of how poorly that aged
neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Pay it Forward. I forgot how much this movie explodes the heart 😭
positive · AI labelView post →Pay it Forward, movie was a game changer for me when I was younger 😭
positive · AI labelView post →on the bright side, like "The Bucket List" and "Pay It Forward", the title of "Sex Purge" will far outlast the existence of the movie itself
neutral · AI labelView post →I've rarely been angrier at a movie than Pay It Forward. Absolute plotless tripe.
negative · AI labelView post →This is the plot for Pay It Forward in case you never saw that film

positive · AI labelView post →@outlawvern.bsky.social I watched Robot Dreams because of your review and all I can say is: thank you. I guess you watched it because of that Fred guy; I watched it because of you; I wrote a review encouraging others to watch it. It's a Pay It Forward thing now (no Spacey). A spellbinding film.

neutral · AI labelView post →I work in a movie studio (not WB). But I am NOT a movie person (more into music & games). Favorite and Movie are a contradiction in terms. But I would make an exception for a 1990s movie which is my fave. "Pay It Forward" is my all-time favorite movie. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyiD...
positive · AI labelView post →I'm calling it now, the "Pay it Forward" BS is how Angel is making its money. Just got out of the movie after driving someone there and goddd Angel Studios movies get worse. Colombian cartel speaking PORTUGUESE goes on rampage in a white majority country without guns. God it is awful.

neutral · AI labelView post →There's a great movie called Pay it Forward from 2000 that I think everyone should watch about a little boy that starts a trend of paying a good turn forward to the next three people you meet that need it and so on...because sometimes people can forget that good still does exist in this world. 💛🫂
neutral · AI labelView post →They distributed The Sound of Freedom too and the only reason that movie was a success was that they had a "Pay it Forward" campaign where they told people to buy as many tickets as they could so that anybody who wanted could attend for free. It grossed hundreds of millions playing to empty crowds!

neutral · AI labelView post →I just had a thought that "Pay It Forward" may have been the most subversive film to come out of Hollywood in my lifetime.
positive · AI labelView post →Not an amazing movie, but Pay It Forward Also, every John Hughes movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Lol I had to text my brother to figure it out. Was a movie called Pay It Forward
neutral · AI labelView post →Yesss I'm glad you agree! I made @watcherjoshua.bsky.social watch this and Hosoda's Wolf Children and every other day for a while he would yell, "WHAT HAPPENED TO THE WOLF CHILDREN!?" lol As for non animated, Pay It Forward is my favorite both because it's a great movie and b/c dad made me watch it
positive · AI labelView post →Also let's take the opportunity to say, fuck the movie Pay it Forward.
negative · AI labelView post →it’s neck and neck with PAY IT FORWARD for impacting the way we communicate without being a good movie.
negative · AI labelView post →I think we all thought the movie Pay it Forward would be a bigger deal in the future then it is.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’ve grown up knowing nothing but privilege. We were solid upper middle class as I was growing up and it just feels right to pay that forward. (Fun fact: Pay it Forward is the most life altering movie I’ve ever watched. Decided I would always pay it forward if I could & have been ever since.)
positive · AI labelView post →Each trauma that is revealed in Pay It Forward is a movie convention that’s utterly manipulative. boxd.it/3UcAsx
negative · AI labelView post →Thank you! One of those cops could have just handed the Walmart associate a $20 & let that shit go.. diapers?!? Maybe we should, as a country, be required to watch the movie Pay It Forward since asking anyone to read is damn near blasphemous, possibly treasonous.
positive · AI labelView post →#PayItForward ❤️🔥(2000 film) A deeply moving 1999 book by #CatherineRyanHyde had a strong impact on my life ever since I read it; the concept made sense to me then & it still does now, even more so. Recent human interactions have brought these ideas to the forefront of my thinking youtu.be/qfW0wCV9iFI
neutral · AI labelView post →Worst movie casting, ever, was Kevin Spacey in Pay it Forward. There were and are literally thousands of amazing Black actors. It changes the whole ending. Seriously?!
negative · AI labelView post →Like, if I’m gonna watch a Spacey movie, it goes down easier if he’s at least a bad guy in the movie. A movie like Pay It Forward, on the other hand, where he’s a good guy and he gets a hero moment beating up a pedophile who was about to molest the kid in a bus station? No thanks.
negative · AI labelView post →I remember watching the US movie Pay it Forward....and I live by that....this story gives me a similar feeling.
neutral · AI labelView post →Stop telling people to read before they see the movie. Let people enjoy shit their own way. I’ve never seen Memoirs of a Geisha; because I DID read and then see the movie Pay It Forward. That movie was such a bastardization that it ruined the book for me; I’ll not let that happen to memoirs.
negative · AI labelView post →Remember when "Pay It Forward" became a meme after that stupid movie and Boomers decided that meant to line up at McDonalds to pay for the car behind them, and then you were ostracized if you didn't join the circlejerk?
neutral · AI labelView post →Pay It Forward feels a bit disingenuous when it comes to its "pay it forward" messaging but is a good enough romance movie. 2000 ended up being a really big year for Helen Hunt, and this was Haley Joel Osment's follow up to 'The Sixth Sense' (1/2)
neutral · AI labelView post →Too late. We've listened to pantomime politics every Wednesday for years. Hissing, booing, jeering, cheering. Pay it Forward (film) would have been a far better choice. Just my personal opinion.
positive · AI labelView post →Like that movie Pay it Forward, but ya know, just as bad as the movie was.
negative · AI labelView post →#DYK? ON THE BASIS OF SEX is director Mimi Leder's 5th movie after THE PEACEMAKER (1997), DEEP IMPACT (1998), PAY IT FORWARD (2000), and THICK AS THIEVES (2009).

neutral · AI labelView post →As we continue down this path of escalating nihilistic meme violence, it can feel like the worst things have become viral. We are drowning in the memetic effluent of a capitalist media that profits by maximizing engagement. But I wonder if anyone remembers "Pay it Forward?" A movie came out in […]
