(off topic) man, i can't be alone here...


everytime i watch a movie with someone, whether it be my friend or my boyfriend, hey always have something bad to say about it. they don't even like movies that much, but theyre so critical about it that it makes me sick. we watched jimmy and judy, and my boyfriend has the nerve to say 'well, i'm done with this movie." What am i going to do, take it out because you say so? and then my friend said she hated it to, so i HAD to take it out and watch it by myself later that night. it makes me feel so dumb. anybody else feel that way?

Haha tbh I haven't seen this film... but I know what you're saying.

Many times watching movies with my friends, I always get the impression I'm the only one who likes it, so now I don't even bother picking movies.

One thing that annoys me though is I got a friend who never takes my word on anything unless one of his other friends says something positive about it, then it seems he knows it's all good to watch/like it. Even after all the things I've introduced him to that he now loves.

Case in point, back in the day I went to see Napoleon Dynamite at the movies with a mate of mine and yeah, we loved it. I tell him, it's just his kind of movie so we watch it with him and he says "this is *beep* boring etc etc." I leave it at that. Then one day at school one of his friends says how awesome the movie was and whattayaknow - my friend becomes an instant fan!

...the guy in the $600 banana suit - COME ON!

i understand how that works and hate it too. no one should have to stop watching a movie they like just because a friend bitches you out


Rob Zombie is one of the greatest directors today
