what are your thoughts on the breakfast club? i consider it my all time favorite movie, and its honestly a little sad that most people only see it as a movie of teenage angst. it really has a lot to say…

The Breakfast Club is the movie I've seen the most times to where I don't want to watch it again because the characters started to feel like family and everything I wanted out of it got squeezed dry. I've always enjoyed "Spartan" movies, where the movie has one setting and is driven forward by character interaction, because I liked the simplicity of it and probably gave me an intimacy I couldn't get with other people and the Breakfast Club was a replacement for having friends pretty much. Out of all the movies to receive director's cuts the Breakfast Club never got one despite the negative existing for it, I reread multiple times about the deleted scenes which in summary were the dream sequence and scenes of Allison, this is the reason she has so little screen time in the released version, watching the deleted scenes that were released back in 2018 wouldn't have bloated the movie terribly for people who already like it. I also used to have a huge infatuation with Allison.

Maybe I don't remember it much but does it really have a lot to say? I think the main idea was mostly just that you don't know people and not even people know themselves most of the time and talking goes a long way

i watched this for the first time https://letterboxd.com/film/the-minus-man/
written and directed by the writer of blade runner (1982) Hampton Fancher has a similar dreamlike quality, creepy owen wilson was something i didnt know i wanted until i saw it. i dont wanna spoil it but i enjoyed the film.
its always nice to watch a film that i havent seen before, especially when i dont hate it.
watching confessions of a dangerous mind right now.

ive been so fucking out of it, sleeping a lot.
ordered a new monitor, still saving up for a 2nd PC.

kind of a cult classic, at least in certain circles im gonna watch grandmas boy.
i remember the first time i saw this film i was taken aback
>wtf people get paid to play video games
i still think thatd be an ideal job possibly even a career.
anyway JT is funny.
>i am a robot

ive been streaming movies n shows more often using (https://watch.hyperbeam.com), i used to used cytube but that requires people to make accounts and host files elsewhere linking them back.
for a while i used (https://caracal.club) but that has a 6 hour time limit.
since im not a tech-guy this is easier for me, recently did a marathon of films from 1999 as a celebration for their 25th anniversary.

im gonna watch more 90's-00's films today & into the night with breaks in between to play vidya. (https://letterboxd.com/nama3/list/1990s-2000s-kino/)
i'll be awake for a while since i slept for an entire day which is very rare for me due to my insomnia.

been watching movies all night havent slept, think ill be awake for the rest of the day.

re-watched the man on fire remake since ive been playing a lot of max payne 3.
i love playing vidya while simultaneously watching a film that fits within that genre + tone.
not sure what to watch when rules of attraction is over…
think im gonna play hotline miami 1 or 2 and watch some of the hotline miami esque films.

i finally slept after a week of intense insomnia, got deep sleep 2 days in a row.
kinda worried the pendulum might swing the other way soon.
gonna play vidya and watch kinos, thinking payday 2 and heist films.

Funny Games feels really out of place here

>>26933
this list covers heists as well as hostage situations.

>>26934
But the family in Funny Games weren't hostages, the golfers didn't have any demands or anything

Nice

had to some yardwork today, very tired and wiped out at the thought that ill have to continue tomorrow.
since i dont work this is what i must do, at least its not an everyday of the week thing i couldnt/wouldnt do that.
anyway, time to watch some films and play vidya likely some FPS games.
not sure what film to watch yet.

made a random list of films (https://letterboxd.com/nama3/list/random-kinos/) ive been picking movies to watch from there, havent been playing as much vidya as i usually do.
in the process of trying quit smoking cigs, will continue smoking and vaping weed but no more cigs.

ryan murphy has some new shows im excited for that'll be debuting soon, and one that's already debuted.
that being season 2 of monster this season will portray the infamous patricidal Menendez brothers one of the high profile cases of the 90s.
1st season was about Dahmer, i enjoyed it.
ryans other series american sports story is a re-skin of american crime story the first season focused on the killing of nicole brown and ron goldman followed by the OJ trial, the 2nd season centered on the spree killer andrew cunnanan i loved that season.
the 3rd was about the monica lewinsky scandal.
this current season is about the football player aaron hernendez a case im not familiar with at all, each previous season was about cases i was already aware of so this is a nice change of pace.
ryan murphys shows are great i might not always agree with the choices he makes in his stories, but he makes bold character decisions that arent boring in the slightest.
most people know of ryan murphy from Glee, but i started watching his shows with nip/tuck a show id put in the pantheon of one of the greatest shows ever made. (https://www.imdb.com/list/ls561449842/)

it is Halloween so ive been watching/streaming a lot of horror films, i slept all day yesterday and into the night so missed that night.
but ill pick it back up tonight in a couple hours to be specific, gonna stream it on https://hyperbeam.com/app/.
ill drop a link to the room when i go live if anyone here wants to join, no need to make an account.
