Movie night!
Heya everyone! I hope you're all going okay
So.. you're watching a movie alone and could use some company... Or maybe you're running out of things to watch and need some recommendations! This is the thread for that! Basically it's where we talk all things movies.. I guess tv shows can join in too 😛
Feel free to give running commentaries, reviews, or pass the virtual popcorn! 😛 Maybe some of you will organise a 'movie night' and watch a movie at the same time!
Pro tip: if you are giving running commentaries, make sure you say *spoilers* for those who mightn't have seen the movie, and to avoid spamming a lot of posts, it could be worth going back and editing/adding to your post to update it
⚠️IMPORTANT ⚠️
There are some rules
- This is not a place to share pirated movies or a place to advertise websites. If someone is having trouble finding a particular movie, you can always google the movie and google will tell you were to LEGALLY find it
- Be careful when suggesting particular movies that have potentially triggering themes. It might be helpful to warn people about any triggering themes or content
- As always, read the general Reach Out guidelines if you haven't already
- Try and be inclusive of people who mightn't have access to certain movies for whatever reasons (e.g. they mightn't have paid subscriptions). If there's a movie that happens to be playing on TV or is available on a legal website for free (e.g. iview, 7plus, sbs world movies) it would be lovely to know and watch it 'together'! But please don't use links where it can be avoided. You could say, hey, this movie is playing on tv tonight or something like that
- Additionally, please make sure you only watch things that are considered age appropriate.E.g., a 14 year old should not watch a movie that is rated MA15+. For more information on what might be appropriate, visit this website: https://www.classification.gov.au/classification-ratings/what-do-ratings-mean
Some prompting questions
So.. what movie are you watching tonight? What do/did you like/dislike about it? Were there any messages that stood out to you or funny moments?
I'm hoping this thread is okay for the forums I'm tagging @Maddy-RO cause I think they're working tonight feel free to take it down if this isn't an okay idea
Thank you so much to @MB95 for this awesome idea!! ❤️
So I'm gonna be watching spirited away tonight anyone is welcome to join me! @Eden1717 @MB95 You are welcome to join in if you guys want 🙂 (but no pressure!)
I'll add my commentary here by editing my post (I mightn't comment as often as I usually do though!)
*spoilers obviously*
I always try and hold my breath with chihiro over the bridge to see if I would make it lol
I love master haku haha
Oh my gosh the stairs scene is so funny hahahahahaha- the contrast between her crawling then speed running
the soot balls are so cute
Hahaha me in a job interview when Chihiro begs Yubaba for a job
eek the black spirit always scares me when he gets into the bath house later
aw poor chihiro is crying 😞
That is a lot of pollution
omg I love yubabas baby as a mouse (?) reenacting chihiro squishing the worm thing lol
I wonder why no face did all that bad stuff?
ok so i may just spend this whole movie comparing what they say in japanese to what is written in the english subtitles lol.
ahahaha the english subtitles said "hey husband" but in japanese the mother shouted "you" like in a rude way.
The little fluffly soot balls are so cute.
I also love the radish god. and the bath house looks very relaxing. but how does yubaba manage to not trip over her enormous head?
no face's little hands always make me laugh lol. also i think i like the baby better as a rat.
also i like the jumping lamp thing.
Here are my responses to your commentaries
Even the english subtitles aren't reflecting what they're saying in english haha
I know right?! Why do they always go towards the scary places in movies like have some common sense guys!!
They are so cute! Also I want whatever rainbow foods they're having
I also love the radish spirit, it's oddly cute with its spiky hands
And also idk about yubaba's head- magic?
@MB95
Yeah I'm watching it in english!
Oh wow 2 hours is quite long, you guys don't have to watch it all if you don't want!
I don't think it's sad it just gets strange and a bit stressful sometimes
Thankyou so much for watching the movie with me guys. I just finished it. I'm sorry I didn't really make any comments during it like I normally would. I was really struggling to concentrate and kept zoning in and out but the parts I was able to concentrate for I enjoyed. I will definitely have to watch it again when I am feeling less disconnected. I wish I could have been more interactive and fun with it but yeah. Thank you so much though for watching it with me. I am really going to miss you guys. I hope that when I'm gone you'll still keep this thread going and watch some other cool movies together!
I also finished watching the movie! It was nice to rewatch it with you guys ❤️
So are you watching it in Japanese @Eden1717 ? That's soooo cool!!! What language are you watching in in @Lost_Space_Explorer5 ? I'm defs going for English lol I would be so lost otherwise 🤦♀️ I think that's so bloody awesome you can understand it in Japanese Eden!! I wish I was like that!! Okay I'm gonna shut up and start the movie or else it'll be 1am before I even start it 😂
Alright, I'm about to log on and find the movie! I am a bit all over the place tonight and not quite sure how this will go cause I am finding concentration a bit hard but we'll give it a crack! I also may not comment as much as usual but will see how I go. Thanks for being awesome guys - don't forget to share the popcorn though hey!! 😂
Here's my commentary..
Okay she's leaving.. slightly close to home. Is this movie gonna make me sad? Cause I've done so well at not feeling so far 🤦♀️
Alright, here goes number 3!!!
This be my commentary where I try be a funny human but fail miserably so we just laugh at my stupidity instead..
Okay all safe mumma sloth hasn't lost her marbles, this is number 3 apparently!
OMG the oldies 😂 'well I age well but you all..' lol Tell it how it is Alex, don't hold back.
MELMAN IS THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE! STOP IT! 😂😂😂
'I wish we could go home'. But Alex, what if you don't know where home is? Cause I have no clue where mine is! #belongnowhere 🙃
OH SHIT! I LOVE the scene with them rising from the water ahahaha I'm so excited for this! Marty is such an idiot 😂
'Everybody dance now'.. bring on Marty's circus dance ahaha
'You don't have fingers Marty'
No way would I let a penguin drive me anywhere! They're crazyyyy little fellas!
The crazy cop lady sniffing like a dog ahahahaa
'Only penguins and people can drive'.. What would you actually do if you rocked up at traffic lights and casually looked to the right and saw a penguin behind the wheel?! 😂
'I'm the first flying monkey'
Banana bullets lol
'Good news is this song is almost over'
I swear King Julian is on something..
'I don't trust lion. Hair too big and glossy' .. Think Mr Tiger Man needs to be taught not to judge a book by it's cover lol Poor Alex 😢
'My mummy was circus. My daddy was circus.'
Lovin' the seals Italian accent haha
Totally me if I'm ever trying to lie or cover something up.. can't do it and always fail miserably lol
Trust the penguins to always make an entry 😂
'Has anyone ever told you that you look like a supermodel? Or a fat hairy one that smells?' 😂😂😂 Maybe this is why I'm single.. my pick up lines are no where near as gold as this ahaha (not that I have any pick up lines nor would I ever have the guts to talk to someone)
Okay this copper lady is freaking me out. Maybe it's cause I'm terrified of cops anyway but she is freaking me out.
'I wanna be a circus horse' .. Oh Marty 😂😂😂
Loving the scenery in the circus practice scenes 🥰
I wouldn't mind being shot out of a cannon.. lol
Marty running down the rock 😂 Have you ever been rock climbing? Do you like that kind of stuff? Or would you ever try it if you haven't?
What would be your circus trick do you reckon?
I'd love to try out the trapeze! Okay.. so I new I spelt it wrong.. I had trampanzee instead of trapeze lol Who knows where I got that from but just googled it.. thank god I realised 😮
Poor Melman. I feel you. 'I have tried.. it's no use' .. total feels!! 🤦♀️
Aww I get it Tiger Man. You should never look into the past, that shit is triggering and anxiety provoking. Deep breaths pal!
FIREWORK!! 💥 Love the colours! I'm all about rainbows and colour 🥰 Do you like Katy Perry? I actually saw her live a good few years ago now and she was amazing! Hanging from the roof and all, was so cool!!
And this is why you shouldn't trust people.. they just hurt you in the end.
Emotional whoopee cushion 😂
When you're home but you don't wanna be home..
'All that really matters is what we smell like together'
'Marty, shoot me a line'. Well this could be blown out of context.. lucky he knew which line to shoot 😂
There's something about this firework song.. and the pretty colours 🥰
I want to run away with the circus..
My responses to your commentary and responses to your responses to my commentary. Anyone else confused? 😛
yes it's the right movie!
If I saw a penguin driving a car I'd probably have to go check myself in somewhere.. or I'd pretend I hadn't just seen a penguin driving a car.. or I'd ask someone if they could see the penguin driving the car
I was getting ratatouille vibes too!
OITNB is good it's a bit gruesome and risque sometimes and the corruption the guards have can be so infuriating/upsetting
I don't think I have tried it but for sure we should make it 'together' one day 🙂
I have been rockclimbing (like indoor rockclimbing), it's fun! I've done outdoor abseiling at like camps though 🙂 wbu?
lmao trampaneze dw I'm terrible at spelling I don't judge 😛
Yeah Katy Perry is okay- she did 'last friday night' too right? I've never been to a music concert!
I didn't get the betrayal there, they made it clear they were trying to get home? Was it the lying about being from the circus? How did they not realise they were lying 😭
Lmao emotional whoopie cushion 🤣
OITNB also has some pretty potentially triggering stuff in it so it's not something I would recommend 🤣 Like it's a good show but not my favourite. It just brings up so much anger sometimes cause the injustice lol! If you want to watch a prisony show that's dark but somehow really funny I would recommend misfits it's about people doing probation who get superpowers, have you seen it before? I'm tempted to rewatch it it was good!
I wanna run away to the circus too lol 😛 I don't know what my act would be though lol I don't have any circus talents
Well that was fun! 😊
We're gonna have to pick our next movie cause I feel like this is gonna become a thing 😂
Yes it was! Do you have any ideas for another movie we could watch next time? 😄
Hmm.. I'm not sure? I like our animation theme atm. Do you have any ideas?
oh my gosh we should watch an anime movie! Not spirited away though, there's only so many times a person can watch spirited away in their lifetime and I think I've exceeded that 🤣 Do you like anime movies? Have you seen the girl who leapt through time? I could totally watch that one again. Or I'm looking at the top anime movies atm.. I don't think I've seen 'your name' that looks good. Have you ever seen grave of the fireflies? It's a pretty dark/sad movie cause it's about ww2 but it's a must watch. Also I'm not sure the rating on that movie so we probably couldn't watch grave of the fireflies on here lol plus it's kinda depressing
If I'm being completely honest, I have never actually seen anime 😂 Is it weird that I got excited just then about watching something depressing? I've strangely been wanting to watch really sad and not great movies. Idk just guess I feel like I can relate to them and it's kind of nice to feel close to something? Idk that makes much sense but yeah. Like I said, never seen anime but I'm happy to give it a try! I'll have to leave the choice up to you though cause I'd have no clue where to look or start 😂
Ooh we should watch one of the classics then! You've never seen spirited away? And no it's not weird I'm similar sometimes where I want to watch really triggering stuff or just sad stuff that will make me cry. It can be good when you need to cry and express yourself and feel sad.
(**TW**)
But I would take it too far sometimes like I used to watch really triggering stuff all about certain topics on youtube idek why whether it was to deter myself or just to feel something but I wouldn't encourage that kind of thing cause it didn't feel quite 'healthy'.
But it's okay to watch sad movies I reckon! Cause they can help you let stuff out
I reckon we should watch spirited away then if you've never seen anime! I'm happy to watch it again and break the record for amount of times watched 😅
Yeah, sadly sometimes watching a sad movie is the only way I am able to let myself cry seems it can be hard to let it out and express emotions when I really need too. But I'm with you, I've done the same and watch some real dark stuff when it was not a good idea and I would not recommend it. Maybe just watch something light heartedly sad so you can cry but not feel well you know 😂
Anywayyy this is a G and PG rated thread remember so those sorts of things would not be appropriate for here! So let's try anime? It's never really been a genre I've been into, well I shouldn't say that, just one I've never thought of trying? So I'm keen to see what its all about! I feel like I've heard of and possibly seen little parts of Spirited away when I was younger but I also don't remember much of my childhood so yeah. If its the one you recommend then I'm keen to give it a try 😊 Is it on Netflix?
Yeah stuff that's sad but in a good way lol @MB95 not doom and gloom sad. I feel you with not remembering much of childhood, I can barely remember what I did today let alone my childhood. Anyway.. Yay let's watch spirited away then! It is on netflix! When do you want to watch it? If we were to watch it tonight I'm free after like 9pm AEST ish but we obviously don't have to watch it tonight if you're not feeling it or if you're busy!
What about maybe one night during the week? I just have so much uni I need to do but am usually do exhausted during the week to do anything but lau in bed at the end of the day so would be keen to watch it one week night if that works?
That sounds like a good plan @MB95! 😄 I'd be happy to watch something later in the week!
Oh my gosh Spirited Away is the best movie!! It's so magical and wholesome.
Hope you both enjoy it 😄
