A lady Bob knows convinced him the movie was great so we went to see it and it was the biggest pile of shit I'd ever seen. Bob fell asleep. After it was over, I heard one lady ask "What the hell?"

Last summer the highest was 42°C. On the one hand the simple need to put on three layers of clothes to go piss is rough on your morale. On the other hand... imagine waking up to take a leak and being FORCED to see a starry sky or being FORCED to walk through the thick snow in your yard. You are simply not allowed to not enjoy it, which is pretty great,…

positive · AI labelView post →Finally watched Where the Crawdads Sing and LOVED it 🥹 I loved the book and pleased the film did it justice. Kya? She was with me, dude.
positive · AI labelView post →📽️ Where the Crawdads Sing 🎬 I don't really get all the hate towards this film. I have to admit that I wouldn't mind a solitary life in the marshes, spending time reading books, drawing and going around in a boat. Minus all the drama and the bigots Kya's life seems pretty appealing to me. 6.5/10

positive · AI labelView post →Just watched Where The Crawdads Sing and REALLY enjoyed it. So weird that the reason I had to see it was because I was intrigued enough by someone's "What an awful film" post! I had intended to see it when it came out but missed it. Anyway, I recommend it. If you like that kind of thing.

positive · AI labelView post →The meme reminds me of the setting in the book/movie “Where The Crawdads Sing.” Fictional place in the story, looks idyllic but wasn't. Would be interesting to explore there a while irl for the beauty of it, carefully eluding all lurking predators - alligators, snakes, creepy humans & such.
neutral · AI labelView post →Would make an excellent mini-series….if done properly. Whomever did Where the Crawdads Sing did not do the book or protagonist justice in that film.

I can't name the best film ever, because that's way too complicated, but some affecting smaller films, when Marvel isn't enough: Winter's Bone; The 400 Blows; Wendy & Lucy; The Florida Project; The Book Thief; Where the Crawdads Sing

positive · AI labelView post →Hindsight is 20/20. Sometimes the book gives the detail needed to understand the movie. Sometimes the movie setting is so good that it makes the book more impactful. Where the Crawdads Sing is a mix. The setting was so better conveyed in the movie. But the story detail was much better in the book.
