Movie Recommendations??!?!?!?! Not obvious ones.

Well I can't say my intellectual honesty has been put to the test. I've simply been flanking your personal attacks on me. If you want to talk about The Lobster in intellectual depth, then let's do it:

Interesting cinematography. That's probably my favorite part. It was jarring and ugly, but then there was something peculiarly thoughtful about it. I could tell the director was going for something unique. It's like he took the time to admire Andersonesque symmetry, thought about it, and then decided to take a piss at the last second. Cool by me.

As far as acting, there was nothing there, right? Like it's the most I've ever appreciated Colin Farrell simply because so little was asked of him (I've always disliked that guy). Everybody simply acted cold and performed all functions of life in a preordained kind of way as though they were half-assing it, or simply did not believe: in other words, this guy, Yorgos Lanthimos , the director, he's cold. Maybe a bit of a nihilist? Maybe something like the Cohen brothers going on here, except the brothers choose a plot heavy method over the metaphors that we see playing out here.

Which brings us to the metaphors: what were they? Society hates a loners? And relationships are hell? I don't really know... it looked painful on both ends. Which I don't mind. I'm mostly a loner, but I've been in a few relationships too, and yeah, it's hell on both ends. I just don't like the interminable lack of light. Is there one bright moment in the movie? I don't remember it? The movie lacked light: and how can you ever hope to outline the abyss without a bit of contrast?

My rating: 7

There you go. I know you probably don't like me continuing my criticism outside the bounds of what you believe proper, but you'll never beat me by shaming me into behaving myself.
