nietzsche's must watch movie recommendations

by **nietzsche** on Thu Jul 04, 2019 2:55 pm

Hello.

many of you might be wondering what clothes do I wear, what movies do I watch, what books do I read.

well, in this thread, I'll tell you of movies that you should watch. it will be a short thread, as movies will be listed in the second post, without much information about them, this is not imdb. I will post and edit the list, every now and then as i remember another movie, but you should refrain from posting in this thread, specially if you're the llama, and you recommend like 5 movies to someone else that watches, but won't watch 1 single recommendation.

Uh, when they kill the villain... it was pretty epic.

"Requiem For a Dream" is a heartwarming tale of love and commitment in the modern age!

Plus there is sweet double ended dildo action!

who else here thinks nietz should maybe give this modern classic another go?

i will never watch anything directed by that guy again.

he's pretentious and fails short every time, which makes it worse.

if i looked like that i'd shoot myself. he's like a pretentious emo? wtf is that?

and somehow that's how i picture Symmetry, but sadder.

Huh, that's always how I picture you- imagining sadder pictures of me.

Nice to be right.

OK Nyetz....gonna use your thread for movie shit....

Watched:

The new godzilla movie. How in the HELL did that even get made? AWFUL....

The Elton John flick, Rocket Man....had zero expectations but had hated the Queen movie so was hesitant...actually I LOVED it. That poor bastard overcame a lot of shit in his life. Have always loved his music and drive and could care less about what he wants to put his johnson in :lol:

After watching this, I have a LOT more respect for the dude. Great flick....

Now, the movie I am really excited about:

On Tuesday we went to see Blinded By The Light, because I heard it was a Springsteen film, and I was a big Springsteen fan back in the day.

Turns out it's not what I was expecting. It is a Springsteen movie after a fashion, but it's not about Springsteen. It's about Jared Khan, a working class British kid from a little industrial town, who becomes a Bruce superfan (as of now, he has gone to see him 1500 times -- Deadheads have nothing on this kid!) and adopts Springsteen lyrics as his own personal anthem. Springsteen appears in the movie only twice -- once in a televised interview and once in the closing credits -- but as noted it's not about him. Springsteen's lyrics -- which for 46 years have been inspiring kids in working class shitholes that there is light at the end of the tunnel and you can break free -- are writ large all over the place. They're in the soundtrack, they're in the dialogue (both in obvious and not-so-obvious quotes) and they're splashed on walls. It's not a great movie, but it's a good movie. If you're a Springsteen fan it's worth seeing for sure. Even if you're not, I think you can get value from this movie.
