I am very excited to watch the above. I thought Kissing Booth had a certain rewatchability almost on par with Teen Witch.

Samurai Gourmet - elderly Japanese man eats in restaurants and reminisces about his life before retirement. Sometimes he imagines a samurai appearing to help him out of sticky social situations Tokyo Diner: Midnight Stories - little chamber dramas that mostly take place in a Diner. Like Jim Jarmusch. Casa de los Flores - glossy Mexican cross between rote telenovela, Six Feet Under, and Almodovar in the ‘90. Gorgeous cast, silly and melodramatic.

The first two are great, not seen the latter.
I wish Netflix would spring for the other three series and 3 movies of Midnight Diner, I’d hapiliy buy the DVDs but I’d also have the buy a DVD player.

I watched about half of The Red Pill, a “documentary” by a “feminist” about the MRA movement. Figured out pretty quickly it was a setup but still sort of enjoyed analyzing it as propaganda before finally giving up.

Trailer for the second season of American Vandal is out. I'm sure it's going to be good, but the trailer is so gross and gut-churning (you've been warned) I bet it could go either way. You've been warned:

Halfway through "To all the Boys I've Loved Before" and wondering why I'm watching this banal underwritten nonsense. What's good about it?

the guy who's hot (and he is) looks the same as the other guy who's supposed to be naff. I can barely tell them apart.

I wanted to like it and i watched all of it, and I’ve only watched probably 5 movies in their entirety this year, so i was tryingBut ya, it’s pretty shallow entertainment Everyone is a stereotype/one-dimensional and archetype except for how peter reacts to a couple things about lana jeanAlso the beginning reminded me too much of can’t buy me love

I haven't even watched it yet. I love shallow movies. Watch The Kissing Booth.

earlier on one of the guys is referred to as being "gay, right?" then later on there's a heart-to-heart with said gay but he hasn't even been a character until that heart-to-heart so I'm not sure whether that character was edited out from a larger part or that it's just not very well constructed overall.

I didn't realise that Peter was the hot one, I thought the one with the sad eyes, called Josh, was who was being referred to as the hot one. Actually, I'm not sure I understood this at all.

I watched both "The Kissing Booth" and "To All The Boys I've Loved Before" on Monday because I was sick like dog and netflixing from my sickbed. I preferred TATBILB by a distance FWIW, and not just because I enjoyed the characterisation of Scotland as mostly about haggis and pubs.
The best thing about TKB was the main character, and her broadly DGAF attitude, I enjoyed how she did embarrassing stuff and wasn't OMG MY LIFE IS OVER, she just sort of got on with it. But I really hated the hulking, violent main love interest in TKB, I couldn't work out what was good about him, he just seemed to be a ridiculous giant 27-year-old who liked hitting people much younger than himself. And then he's all "duhhhh... I'm going to Harvud... but I don't know if I'm going yet... duhhhh". Also Hollywood sign = bleurrgh.
TATTILB was more charming overall, I thought. Slight, sure, but it was fairly upfront in its John Hughes-lite aims. It's obviously not setting up Bon Iver dude next door to be a total naff no hoper because he's going out with her totally cool and capable big sister who's so cool she's off to SCOTLAND. And the gay fellow was a recipient of one of the five letters, IIRC. Anyway I wasn't bored, I thought it was good. Could have done with a meaner other-girl lead.

To the PUB in Scotland, no less.
― Tim, Wednesday, 22 August 2018 12:55 (five years ago) link
Maybe another thing that's interesting about both of these films in comparison to the 80s films they knowingly reference is the lack of even a nod at issues of class, which I think is a shame.

Iliza Shlesinger's standup is funnier than I expected.

She's funny. I don't like her excessive physicalizations though.

xp - she definitely could have dialed back the crone voice and physical stuff, it was funny to start with but wore out toward the end

Ok, I just started watching To All the Boys... and yeah, the 2 guys look really similar. I kept waiting for the hot one to show up.

And lol that that the actor that plays Josh turned out to be a dipshit who doesn't know how to delete old tweets.

Wait, the article i just doublechecked says Josh!?! Don't play me like that.

He got hotter as the movie is progressing. They both a weird Ralph Macchio vibe.
― Yerac, Monday, 27 August 2018 04:44 (five years ago) link
Oh, I see now. Supposedly there is a sex video or something with the Peter. And I just realized I saw the weird housesitter for Keanu Reeves movie he was in too.
― Yerac, Monday, 27 August 2018 04:48 (five years ago) link
i just googled — apparently BOTH of them have controversies about old racist tweets? which is fun

I see the Baby Ruffalo. I finished this movie close to 2am last night. I promised a coworker I would watch it so we could discuss today.She agreed on Ralph Macchio nah on Joey Lawrence. This may be the first time ever I kind of get the appeal of Joey Lawrence.
― Yerac, Tuesday, 28 August 2018 01:57 (five years ago) link
I.. don't think any of the main characters in TATBILB are stereotypes. Peter is a very sweet twist on what would be the jock in a movie with just stereotypes. Thankfully it's not his actor who tweeted garbage either.

People love To aAl the Boys... It was playing in the place I was getting a pedicure on Saturday. I have grown fond of it. The protagonist is interesting and the male lead has an enjoyable personality (unlike a lot of rom coms and I guess young men in general in life)
