Anyone here have friends who are just bad with movies?

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.

>Implying I have friends

Get out, reddit.

>having friends

There's your problem

post on chin instead of talking bout it with your "friends"

>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

you sound like an annoying cunt

get over it. the dumb movies are sometimes better for a group to watch anyway.

Get better friends or be more assertive instead of a spineless beta bitch

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.

But you are scoffing at his suggestion too. You're both assholes.

>he doesn't have friends

sup Reddit

I wasn't scoffing when he suggested it initially. But after he shot down my suggestions so rudely, I was a little upset.

>Implying you're reddit if you don't have friends

JAJAJA EL JUSTO

Kill yourself Dannyboytbh

Timescrimes is boring anyway

>Bro, just watch the movie
>Nothing is happening, they are just talking
>mfw

One of my good friends and former roommate

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.

lmao get better friends pleb

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.

Your friends have better taste and are less autistic than you and your high school sophomore discovering Netflix indieshit for the first time taste.

I had a gf who was trilingual but refused to watch movies with subtitles.

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.

Ugh it's just so problematic and I can't even I just can't
t. Bernie voter

>mexican film
lelelelele

Their taste is shit and you're pretentious and trying too hard to be different get over it

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!

He's right though.

>"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

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.

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

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.

>this level of damage control kek

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

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

I missed the joke, isn't Mexican?

They way I do it is I pick the movies before hand and only the ones that want to watch show up.

>Los Chronocrimenes
Well, watching that shit makes you also pleb

But he is right

I sympathise, your friends are retarded plebs

>le contrarian face

Nice memes

Tbqh you sound like a sperg

He's kind of right.

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

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.

>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

>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.

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!!!

Its his house. Not everyone wants to watch le ebin deep foreign le kino.

Fucking kill yourself

Spanishfag here, please, don't watch it, we're still ashamed of it.

You'd have more fun if you took a toke with him

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.

>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.

It's spanish.

>that one guy who thinks everything Tarantino touches turns to gold

We've all met him

And?

Oh, I didn't realize you were trying to be funny.

Triangle was better desu

>"Schindler's List? I dont' want to watch that in black and white.

I also don't want to watch shindler's list on a bro movie night. There's limits.

>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

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?

>Scarface
Well, he can't be THAT bad

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".

Damn Reddit, you straight up mad

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

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.

My friends aren't plebs and we mostly get together to watch MST3k tier bad movies while we drink beers.

>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

FUCK

I'm that friend:^)
>tfw liked Deadpool
>tfw Liked TFA
>tfw liked BvS
>tfw liked Warcraft

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

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

is this you

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.

Friend is in the right though.

Kill yourself dannyboytbh

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.

That's not ironic you fucking shit

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.

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.

>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

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.

>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.

How is X-Men not Disney?

Had a better time at X-Men than Civil War.
MCU is boring af now.

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.

Fox = XMU
Disney = MCU
Two different companies.

>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.

X-Men is still Disney though. It's their IP. They are still raking in the big cash on X-Men films.

No they're a not. Fox owns all rights to X-Men properties.

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.

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

Seriously?

Maybe that's why the X-Men films are one of the few capeshit series that I can still find enjoyable.

>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.

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

dude bros are the worst movie watchers if you're watching anything more than a CoD tier movie

>mfw this shit
apparently comedy to them is a super power that can beat even thanos

Sup newfag

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

>beankino

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.

Wanted would have been better if they cast more mature actors and made it less whacky
