Anyone here have friends who are just bad with movies?
>movie night at a friends house >nobody can pick what they want to watch >I suggest we watch Los Chronocrimenes (Timecrimes) >friend says "Ew, it's a mexican film? That can't be good." >I suggest What We Do In The Shadows as well >friend scoffs at my suggestion, and picks London Has Fallen >"It's so good! I almost like it as much as Olympus." >mfw
I don't mind if they have tastes in films like that, but to shoot down my suggestions is just ignorant. I hate these friends sometimes.
Ryan Davis
>Implying I have friends
Get out, reddit.
Grayson Gray
>having friends
There's your problem
Mason Edwards
post on chin instead of talking bout it with your "friends"
Cooper Kelly
>friend likes Xmen Apocalypse over Civil War >"I dunno, I just thought the plot of Xmen was better than Civil War."
I want to kick you in the teeth sometimes
Parker Morgan
you sound like an annoying cunt
Alexander Lee
get over it. the dumb movies are sometimes better for a group to watch anyway.
Carter Diaz
Get better friends or be more assertive instead of a spineless beta bitch
Brandon Bennett
It was just 3 of us that night. I'm just more upset they refuse to see a film because it was "mexican". I told them it was rated highly on Rotten Tomatoes, the site they love and depend on, but they hated the thought of it.
Dominic Murphy
But you are scoffing at his suggestion too. You're both assholes.
Alexander Parker
>he doesn't have friends
sup Reddit
Colton Gutierrez
I wasn't scoffing when he suggested it initially. But after he shot down my suggestions so rudely, I was a little upset.
Asher King

Timescrimes is boring anyway
Nicholas Rodriguez
>Bro, just watch the movie >Nothing is happening, they are just talking >mfw
One of my good friends and former roommate
Carter Taylor
Man I used to have a friend who did that.
>on their phone or laptop during the movie >all the good parts are flying by his face while his nose is up in Facebook
It's like, why the heck are we even watching am movie, James? Just go back home and jerk off to your WoW porn, this isn't spending time together.
Charles Myers
lmao get better friends pleb
Nathan Morales
Well at least you saw the film, which I appreciate. They wouldn't give it a chance and they're already forming opinions.
Meanwhile London Has Fallen is such a great film in their eyes because of the macho characters
>"Don't worry Mr. President, we'll get those terrorist assholes! I fucking swear to you." >"Why don't you go back to FUCKistan or wherever you're from?" >"Well Mr. President, about time you came out of the closet" (he was hiding in a closet during a fight scene)
Gerald Butler's character is so poorly written and the dialogue he has is so low brow. I feel like this film caters to a lower social class.
Aiden Gonzalez
Your friends have better taste and are less autistic than you and your high school sophomore discovering Netflix indieshit for the first time taste.
Brayden Green
I had a gf who was trilingual but refused to watch movies with subtitles.
Evan Walker
They're good friends, otherwise I wouldn't hang out with them. I only wish they'd give the movies I suggest a chance before writing them off.
Jeremiah Reyes
Ugh it's just so problematic and I can't even I just can't t. Bernie voter
Brody Butler
>mexican film lelelelele
Cameron Young
Their taste is shit and you're pretentious and trying too hard to be different get over it
Connor Rivera
But can you blame her f.amilia? She learned two languages and the film you pick doesn't have either of them. All that practice gone to waste!
Liam Wright
He's right though.
Easton Nguyen
>"oh user we could watch stalker, its pretty good, have you seen it?"
fucking hell. luckily he shut up after i told him that i dont watch entry level shit anymore and that the book was better anyway
illiterate pleb
Ethan Nguyen
My friends kinda do that too. Every time we hang out no one knows what to watch, and every time I suggest something it's like pulling teeth. Like if you don't know what to watch, don't shoot down my suggestions if I'm the only one suggesting shit. I don't want to watch American Dad for the millionth fucking time.
Maybe they're just tired of me suggesting shit and they're doing it on principle? I'm not whiny or anything when it happens. It's just frustrating.
Angel Ramirez
You guys on Sup Forums sure project alot.
OP just say he doesn't like his friend's choices in movies and you're all pinning him down as some cuckold Bernie supporter, "patrician" taste, indie watching, community college film-major whose head is so far up his butt he can rim his own throat
Gavin Long
Hey man, I completely feel you. I dont' mind watching films or tv show sthey like, even if they aren't up to my standards. All I'm asking is for a fair chance to have the film I show be watched or at least discussed. Instead my friends just brush it away and make a snide comment.
All it comes down to is I want my friends to enjoy the movies I think they'd like, but they are being so arrogant they dismiss it without a glance.
Josiah Flores
>this level of damage control kek
Aaron Carter
Yes, holy shit. I have two really good friends, and I've only seen movies with one because the other one is a weirdo neet (#2). We were with a friend of the other guy who neither of us knew well but he seemed cool >Friend of friend (#3) suggests we watch Tree of Life, supposed to be mind fucky >We all agree >Watch first half, goes well, we take a break for food >Second half comes on, btw its a long movie, like 2.5 hrs i think or longer >friend 3# is being cool, sitting there silently like an adult and just experiencing the movie >I'm doing the same >Friend #2 proceeds to go "WOAH WHAT THE FUCK" literally every 10 seconds, anytime something even remotely weird happens >Then turns to friend #1 and gives him a play by play of the entire movie which we can all hear, Friend #1 is just like "Haha yeah dude.." >I'm about to explode because he wont shut the fuck up >Movie finally ends >Tells us what his plot intepretation of the movie >Its factually and completely ass backwards and wrong >Friend #3 says nothing and leaves >I tell him what actually happened in the movie and he goes "WOAAAH WHAT THE FUCKKKK"
never again NEVER
Easton Parker
most of the time they don't even make a snide comment. They just go 'ehh...' as he keeps scrolling through the endless netflix wall. I even suggest shit that I know are on netflix so there's no "hassle" of torrenting or using primewire or whatever. I've even brought in my hard drive. Is it that whole "I dismiss it because I didn't 'discover' it" thing? I mean I do that with music sometimes, so maybe they do it with movies. I dunno. They even like the movies I eventually get them to watch
Jeremiah Lopez
I missed the joke, isn't Mexican?
Samuel Sanchez
They way I do it is I pick the movies before hand and only the ones that want to watch show up.
Juan Bennett
>Los Chronocrimenes Well, watching that shit makes you also pleb
Xavier Bennett
But he is right
Christopher Campbell
I sympathise, your friends are retarded plebs
Jaxon Ortiz
>le contrarian face
Nice memes
Easton Moore
Tbqh you sound like a sperg
Nathan Harris
He's kind of right.
Sebastian Martin
i love timecrimes
but unrelated
i have this one friend who cant seem to stop talking about previous episodes whenever we watch game of thrones together
its to the point where i dont even plan on watching new episodes when we hang out, instead we just talk about game of thrones while game of thrones plays in the background
Logan Watson
I have a friend who only likes modern military action movies and he has to call out what each gun and piece of equipment is when it's on screen.
He's a good guy but there's only so many times i can watch that Mark Wahlberg sniper movie and black hawk down.
Nathaniel Young
>watch avengers with friends >what'd you think user >ehh it was alright, the jokes got really annoying >that was my FAVORITE PART My friend literally said this
Matthew Carter
>friend talks about how good movie is >go to his house and watch it >he only plays the first 5 minutes and skips to the "funny scenes" >stops watching it and goes outside to smoke weed >this has happened several times Having friends is awful.
Bentley Miller
The best part is when you see Deadpool prior, and you have that one friend that has to fucking say after every fucking capeshit >Hey who would win in a fight, [x] or Deadpool???? >This movie would be amazing if they included Deadpool!!!
Charles Peterson
Its his house. Not everyone wants to watch le ebin deep foreign le kino.
Fucking kill yourself
Brody Sanchez
Spanishfag here, please, don't watch it, we're still ashamed of it.
Jeremiah Scott
You'd have more fun if you took a toke with him
Angel Flores
I only have two friends. One is more patrician than me, but the other is a total pleb.
The pleb won't watch black-and-white movies. Even Sin City. I tried telling him it's a recent movie, and how it's an aesthetic choice, but he doesn't care. He also won't watch anything foreign, unless it's a dubbed Jackie Chan movie. His favorite movies are Gone in 60 Seconds(The remake), Scarface and the entire Fast and Furious franchise.
We can't even have movie nights, because he always shot down our suggestions and want us to watch Marvel movies or some shitty comedy like Mr. Bean's Holiday.
Asher Morales
>watching hard boiled >friend keeps asking me to fast forward to talking >fine, he's an action guy, he's a moron but at least he'll appreciate the massive one-shot action scene among the massive action finale >he pulls out his phone >mention he's missing the best bit >he's one of those people that cannot hear people talking when they're playing video games or, as it turns out, looking at their phone >about 4 minutes later he snaps out of it "what you say dude?" and starts watching the movie >Chow Yun Fat is holding a baby and sweet talking it >"lame"
My last 5 texts from him, over the last 5 weekends, were all "movie night this weekend dude y/n?". Nah brah. Brah? Nah.
Jaxon Rogers
It's spanish.
Juan Morales
>that one guy who thinks everything Tarantino touches turns to gold
We've all met him
Owen Rogers
And?
Justin Baker
Oh, I didn't realize you were trying to be funny.
Cameron Lewis
Triangle was better desu
Kevin Rogers
>"Schindler's List? I dont' want to watch that in black and white.
Isaiah Morgan
I also don't want to watch shindler's list on a bro movie night. There's limits.
Julian Wilson
>movie night with friends We watch shitty movies so we can all talk, make jokes, make funny dialogues, etc. If we want to watch a reflexive, smart, deep movie we do it alone
But maybe me and my friends are just weird
Thomas Rogers
What's wrong watching the genocide of a race of people on a movie night with your best bud?
You wouldn't happen to be someone who can't eat pork, are you?
Henry Sanchez
>Scarface Well, he can't be THAT bad
James Moore
He's a bit edgy and likes movies about criminals/the mafia. He likes the Godfather also, but he couldn't finish the 2nd one because "the flashbacks were boring".
Grayson King
Damn Reddit, you straight up mad
Levi Lee
what we do in the shadows is a fun flick i enjoyed it more than i thought i would, and is certainly a good choice for friends hanging out
Connor Sanders
fuck you ryan i hate your shitty movie suggestions i'd rather message your bitch on fb and talk shit about you. don't come to my house again.
Ryan Sanders
My friends aren't plebs and we mostly get together to watch MST3k tier bad movies while we drink beers.
Julian Collins
>have occasional movies nights with my room mate, good friend of mine >we watch good movies, bad movies, horrors, actions, dramas, comedys, fucking whatever >lots of bantz, cracking jokes, getting pissed, its great >sometimes his gf shows up (uninvited) >immediately all fun is sucked out >bro doesn't join in anything, just sits there passively >gf curled around him on her phone, never, EVER watching the movie >anytime I try to talk its SHUT UP JEEZE I CANT HEAR WHATS GOING ON >she does this in scenes where no one is talking, because she isnt watching >whenever I bring it up he just downplays it or says I'm jealous (single) Holy shit Travis you fucking cunt, if we are planning on marathoning Lethal Weapon don't just let your girlfriend come over and ruin the first half hour then leave sulking after I tell her to actually watch the movie if she's going to bitch about it, then leave to console her because muh feels you whipped piece of shit
Dump the bitch, I don't care if she tells you she's going to kill herself if you do, good fucking riddance
You can't force art on the unwilling they won't appreciate it the way you do. They have to discover it on there own, some people aren't gifted with the eyes for art though
Lucas Mitchell
i consider myself a casual normie fuck when it comes to film and tv, but talking about it with actual normies makes me realise i'm in too deep.
i'm at that middle ground which secludes me from both sides
Logan Reyes
is this you
Kevin Evans
I believe you f.am. I'm just venting my frustration. I'm not going to suggest anymore movies to them.
Ironically, one of my friends that night was named Ryan.
Ethan Thomas
Friend is in the right though.
Oliver Peterson
Kill yourself dannyboytbh
Caleb White
This guy looks like the kind of guy to hate Sufjan Stevens' latest album and say he works better when he's collaborating on other band projects.
Julian Ortiz
That's not ironic you fucking shit
Grayson Hernandez
Does Sup Forums just suck any cock that isn't Disney's out of spite now? Apocalypse definitely wasn't better by any metric or rational comparison.
Ethan Cruz
It was better in every way except for hand-to-hand combat choreography, which was so averagely shot and edited in CW it lost most of it's spark anyway. And I say this as someone who liked CW and has actually read some Captain America comics.
Julian Morgan
>mfw I said I liked John Carter but my plebs friends were like "It didn't make sense", "it was boring" and now every time I have an opinion on film they're like "Well, John Carter..."
I'm going to murder them all and bury them at sea
Adrian Ramirez
Strong disagree for a few reasons. Jennifer Lawrence weighed it down like an anchor, and outside Professor X, Magneto, Apocalypse, and Quicksilver, I felt the overall cast was flat and uninteresting. Storm was alright actually, but it's also nice to see anyone else but Halle Berry playing her.
That's not to say I didn't like it. I read the X-Men comics as a kid, and Apocalypse was a favorite villain of mine. The special effects were nice. However, to say it's better across the board is not something I would agree with.
Cameron Sanchez
>watch a movie >movie ends >want to discuss it >friends just go "well that was good/bad" and discussion ends
i just wanna talk about movies with someone.
Juan Sullivan
How is X-Men not Disney?
Parker Martin
Had a better time at X-Men than Civil War. MCU is boring af now.
Jayden Green
I liked the books so I saw it for that reason. It wasn't as bad as critics/public said.
Felt the same about the recent TMNT movie.
Joseph Carter
Fox = XMU Disney = MCU Two different companies.
Hudson Price
>movie night >friend suggests something slow and deep for a evening of rowdy half-watching where spending time together is the actual fun part and the movie might as well be a background noise
You want a movie you can shout at, poke fun at, laugh at. That's what's fun about a movie night. Not the actual movie. It's like getting together for a board game night and everyone sits around playing solitare in silence.
Aiden Green
X-Men is still Disney though. It's their IP. They are still raking in the big cash on X-Men films.
Justin Smith
No they're a not. Fox owns all rights to X-Men properties.
Matthew Young
I often judge a movie on it's technical aspects first and in those terms XMA is far more 'cinematic' and well crafted while I feel CW is built more like an expensive tv show. I strongly dislike JLaw's Mystique and I can't stand Boy George but the overall movie made me forget that a bit, which it didn't do with JLaw in DoFP. The ''all is revealed'' scene was near perfectly executed.
Landon King
My friends and I are the same way. I don't get why you would want to get together with friends and not talk and have fun
Chase Martin
Seriously?
Maybe that's why the X-Men films are one of the few capeshit series that I can still find enjoyable.
Kayden Scott
>put on anything animated (Disney, Ghibli, Pixar, whatever) >everyone watches intently >put on literally anything else >everyone spends the whole movie staring at their phones, only breaking the silence to swap memes
These are all grown-ass adults over the age of 25. Fuck, I need better friends.
Brandon Lopez
used to do movie nights with some of my brothers coworkers.
every friday night we watched some PG13 shit like transformers or battleship.
one night i force my brother to put on wanted.
bro: "dude nobody else really liked it but you" me: "do you think i care?"
>inb4 wanted is bad
Ethan Thomas
dude bros are the worst movie watchers if you're watching anything more than a CoD tier movie
Juan Cook
>mfw this shit apparently comedy to them is a super power that can beat even thanos
Jaxson Howard
Sup newfag
Zachary Campbell
Plot might be a bit better bit Civil War had better characters and didn't have tojump the XMen3 shark to do it. The fact that the X Men Universe and Marvel universe haven't figured their shit out is hurting XMen more than Marvel
Juan King
>beankino
Isaiah Peterson
My family does that shit all the time, OP. They wont even consider my suggestion, just LOL NOPE. Im not trying to have better taste than my family, I just want to see them watch more varied stuff.
Colton Watson
Wanted would have been better if they cast more mature actors and made it less whacky
