I'm gonna stop doing it. Like if you're happy. Why don't you bring this up in the beginning of the recording? Like I always hate because here's what happens. You talk about your fucking backup, and then it leads into the actual conversation. So this bit that we record I have to keep in. Even though I want to I want to cut it out. God dammit keep it in, cut it in. Hey, we can start now because we haven't even talked about the fact that this is a podcast who knows someone listening could think that this is a message from the future. Backup anymore. COVID tear was fake. It was never what was fake. COVID-19 Oh, Fuck you. Fuck you get fucked. I hope you die. And podcast. Um, all right. Hello, and welcome to fuck your opinion. A movie review podcast with your host, Sean, and your co host. Jani. Oh, hey, sorry, did we start I was I was out getting a coffee did we start recording it. So let's go to here. Listeners I want to go in. And I want you to know that Jani just took a really long pause for comic effect. But what he forgets is that I delete all the pauses. So that's just going to be deleted, and then it's just not gonna matter. Oh, so he deletes all the pauses when they pertain to things I'm doing but whenever they pertain to a joke that he wants to learn that he's made, he leaves them in. No, it's an automatic effect. You add the effect on and whatever blank space there is it just, I don't control it. I don't go back. You listen to it, you edit it and then you add in the space when you want it. You're like this, I don't want to do that. I don't want to I do want me add when it matters. space when it matters. I'm joke, your dumb joke. That's not even funny, because you have to get so funny of you. If you know the context, goto it's only funny if you know the context that Jani normally interrupts me. Anyways, I guess this is a new phase of this podcast, because we've been off a couple weeks. Well, you know, some stuff happened some very, some there were some losses in the soon to be family. So I'm sorry, for for those of you who care. My fiance's mother has been sick for the past few months. And she recently passed away three weeks ago. And that was that took its toll on my fiance Mona that took its toll on me. And it's also been a really tough time very busy time of work as it is every year this time of year. For me, I initially only took the time off a few weeks, just so I could catch up on my work. But then this just kind of came out of nowhere. And so it's been it's been hard, but the best way to get back to normal is to start getting back to normal. So that's why I'm here. Sorry to inconvenience you, Sean. Sorry. Sorry. It's been happening. I'm sorry for Mona's loss. I hope she's doing okay. All my thoughts are with her. I wish her the best. You not so much, you know, don't really care what happens to you. She's out of town right now. Again, like I said, she's been coming and going for the last few weeks, but I'm not going to tell her you gave her your best wishes. She'll find out later. She's Yeah, I'm just going to tell you that you were exactly who I thought you would be. And we'll leave it at that. When you're trying to paint me to be the bad guy. Because you are the bad guy. You are the bad you know who you are. In this in, in this movie Notting Hill that we watched. I know why. You're not. You're probably gonna say spike, right? Yeah. No, you're not spike. You're. Oddly enough. You're jack Donaghy. You're Alec Baldwin. is not so bad. That's no it's not so bad. I don't care. Your defining characteristic is that you're a dirtbag that is it that Yeah, he said this movie for one scene to be, but I'm rich. Is he playing himself? Is he playing himself in this movie? unclear? We didn't get a name did we get an I'm gonna get started, but keep doing the intro. But here's the thing. He's a rich dirtbag. And he's famous and popular. So you know, I'll take it. I'll take it. I was gonna say I was spike. And here's the context are that King, his name is Jeff King. So no, that's not it's not playing himself. So the context. So going back to this podcast, what we do and everything because I didn't I didn't elaborate on that. This is a movie review podcast where we trade off picking movies for each other. When one of us picks a movie. We pick a movie that we love that we know the other one is going to hate. This week. I picked Notting Hill, a movie that I really love. And I knew Jani would hate because a I mean, it's a rom com. That's fun. And Jani doesn't like fun, or joy, or any of that kind of stuff. Oh, I like Star Wars toy and shout out. I'm trying. I'm trying to explain myself. I just didn't have fun. You can try number two. And more importantly is I knew Jani was down in the dumps. This is before some predictive because there's been a pause. This is just I knew Jani was down in the dumps without clarification. And I knew this would hurt him. So I wasn't intending to like, beat him down that hard, but I know it really beat him down hard. So I'm happy for that. So pat on my back, but more importantly, the reason why I'm spike is because in the past month or so, my roommate has been he has been seeing this girl and they've been off and on staying here going back to her place, staying here going back to her place. So I'm that odd man out roommate. And I'm like, wow, I found myself in this situation. And it irritates the shit out of me. I don't here's the thing. It's not I love ROM coms. I'm fine with romance. It's just like, I hate unpredictability. And I never know what the fuck they're gonna be here. So it's always like screwing up my schedule on my plans when they're here. I'm like, Fuck, I gotta seclude myself from my room. Because it's not like I can go out and fucking do any things. We're all locked down in Los Angeles now, you know? Like, yeah, love get in the way of Sean's plans. Or it's just frustrating. I gotta be secluded in my room watching stuff. I'm like, I'd rather be in the living room watching stuff. But you know, hey, you could be in your room doing squats working on your abs. It's also like ARCA. But it's, you know, it also irritates the shit out of me. So our bathroom is literally right next to the living room, right? And you if you take a piss as a man, you can hear it through the walls, right? So when they're in the living room, and they don't have a TV on, and they're just quietly talking, and I really need to pee. I'm like, God dammit. I mean, I'm stuck. So then I know in the bathroom, and I got a piece sitting down because it's quiet. Okay, I don't like let's be honest. We forgot. From time to time we forget that we're pasta Bros. Yeah. We're probably two Bros. I'm glad. Title if a pasta bro. Right? We've had all this time, but we haven't. If, if there's one thing across the bro knows, it's that your stream could be stronger. So Shawn as a fellow prostu, Bro, I don't know why that's an issue. Because if your stream is, it's a little inhibited. I don't know why anyone would be hearing it outside of the bathroom. And by the way, I just want to clarify that seating oneself to urinate as a man does not make you a feminine it is a more comfortable way of doing it. And it allows you to just let everything take care of itself while you're reading a book looking at your phone. Working on your knitting. I don't know whatever you do on the toilet. You can do just urinating my soapbox moment I'll come down. Thank you for that. So box Jani. I do need to clarify because you didn't actually clarify. So assuming you're a first time listener, we're across the borough's not because we're prostitute brothers or prostitute. That's just that's just that's just a total happenstance. That's the it's because we both have prostate Titus and we have prostate issues that would go on about some times and ironically enough between last night and today I've peed so many times. It's ridiculous. Like last night. I was telling you on a Before the podcast, I got kind of sad and depressed and you know, reflected on life and mistakes I've made, particularly in the romantic area as pre watching this movie, by the way, so I was up for like, two hours while I was trying to sleep. And in that time, I probably got up and peed six to eight times. And then I finally had to take a sleeping pill pee, like two more times and then actually fall asleep. But in my defense, I drank a lot before it a lot more than I normally would. It's all Trader Joe's wine, wasn't it? It was a little bit tradeshows wine rose. You know, I got the lights off. So you didn't have to see yourself in the mirror because I wouldn't have wanted to knowing that you just I just drank that if I were you, it's cheats. I steepish I'm drinking right now Francis Ford Coppola wine, and it's delicious. Although some real classy stuff. It's only it was only like 12 bucks. I want to say I'm glad I got it. I'm glad I'm drinking it. I paired it with the Godfather coda, the death of Michael Corleone which is awful don't watch it. But I'm still happy to go back my two bucks shock because I don't want to pay that much for wine. I'm good with the cheap as wine. I feel like we've kind of dive negated here maybe we should course correct and get back to the whole point of this which is Romeo crashing Notting Hill trap Why would you trash Notting Hill Yani it's a great post. It's not a great movie. But first let's let's let's hear exactly why he chose why Sean choose the hill. Notting Hill. Why Sean choose why you do this every time every time you you ask me like why I chose that you say in a stupid fucking way. But it's because it's a stupid fucking. I'm sorry I swore there. It's a stupid hacking movie. Hacking is not a substitution for a curse. It's not a word. Hack is hacking. I think I hear the word hacking. I think of a dog have a little puppy. Stupid. Oh, but anyways, Jani. Here's the thing because you haven't done this podcast a long time. Even though you should be looking at the structure which I've written, but clearly are not. There's a couple other things that we talk about for example, oh, wait. Oh, way mistake. Oh, yeah, I was reading Yeah, he was reading. I'm wrong. I'm wrong, guys. I'm wrong. You're so stupid. You can't do that. That's 2020 Jani. What? Folks send hate mail lionni Okay, for I have to explain myself that simple jack jack. Simple jack and tropic. No. I could do simple jack and Tropic Thunder and you will not feel good hearing about it. So let's just move on. Okay, so I chose Notting Hill. Like I said to her Jani as much as I could. That was the primary reason. The main reason I saw this film a couple months ago, instantly loved it instantly became one of my favorite ROM coms. And yeah, that's, that's why I picked it. I'll get into more specifics later. But I love Julian Robertson, this film, I love Hugh Grant in this film. I think it's charming and witty throughout and really holds me Yeah, and I loved it. Not much else to say, all right, what's your reading? My my rating is an eight out of 10 does flat eight no decimal? We had a listener right in asking, well, we had a listener let me let me pull up the email. We're actually Oh, we had a listener right in or is that when you add a listener right in? Oh, that's great. We're must be getting big people must be listening. It was gonna. It was actually a friend of mine named Daniel Heinz. He wrote in and he said, he said greetings. He said hello, Shawn and Jani. Greetings from sunny Colorado. I finally caught up after a couple weeks behind a wine the weigh in on the decimal question. I'd say I'm pro decimal points, but feel free to tell me fuck your opinion on that issue. In parentheses, ha. Looking forward to the new episodes after the Christmas movies. Well, you know what? I? I have I don't remember it's been so long have we done been doing decimal points? If not, I think it's a good idea if we haven't been doing it, and I think so. Yeah, he might institute that later on. My response to Daniel was, fuck your opinion. decimal points are for cowards. Merry Christmas. That's what I said. And I stand by that. I think eight out of 10 ought to try whatever. Okay, so next thing that comes is a plot summary. The disinterested or disaffected party provides you No, I couldn't really think of anything funny for a movie that wasn't really funny. How many wasted you fuck on half? Hey, fucking Plot summary God. So let's see. You don't have to do it if you haven't come up with it God a Julia Roberts is Anna Scott an actress who can't really seem or can't figure out how to smile like a human being throughout the course of this movie. Anna Scott will grace everybody with her a celebrity in appearance and you'll feel bad for her because she makes $15 million a year and sometimes people make rude remarks regarding her physique the end your shitty person that's it that's I don't I'm sorry. That's gonna be a huge fake for me is like I did not feel any sympathy No matter how much Richard Curtis tried to make me feel sympathy for Anna Scott's character for that Anna Scott character I did not feel any. Even at her lowest point I was just I felt nothing more sympathy towards her than any single person in the Full Monty. I don't doubt that. I don't doubt that because because you know why, Shawn? Why? Because you're a misandry just you hate men. That's why I don't hate men out well. Well, let's see. Anna Scott. Like all the men in full monty not like I don't know. There may not be men, but there is a correlation between Sean's misandry hypothetically, and all the men he likes in my movies and the women he likes in his I don't know talking about to write into fk your opinion podcast. How many times have I talked about Chris Pine on this podcast? I mean, I don't know how you can say it, man. Okay, he's very soft on the eyes to the point where I don't know if you'd even call I don't know if you'd call his eyes his a strictly masculine feature now, but it's his voice and it's his charm as well. It's not just the the appearance. It's the henhouse. He's talking about his physique too. He's the whole package. You know, you've hated on you've hated on more men than women in this podcast. So yeah, but just because like, history has more male characters and that's a problem. You know, that's that's not it's not you're not wrong. There also, who hates Oh, thank you, Miss Andrus. Also, who hate it. I'm Wonder Woman. You. So you know, the parts of Wonder Woman I hated the most were the were also the men Actually, I hated everything about it equally. I hated everything equally about that. I know. I'm just like your shit. Anyways. What's the summary? Give us a quick summary. Summary a quick, quick rundown. So yeah, Julia Roberts plays an actress who's basically herself as far as stardom is concerned. I have no idea what the actual Julia Roberts is like Hugh Grant plays a travel bookshop owner who thankfully at the end, he gets together with her, because you know that because this is out of business by now. And 21 inches, it should have run it should have been out of business during the runtime of this movie. So we'll get to that later. I don't know how they paid for that shop. I don't know. I don't know how why anyone thought that was a good idea. like they'd make money. That's like, the worst investment I've ever seen. Anyways, he's a book shop owner. He runs into Julia Roberts One day, he is charming. Literally, he literally runs into literally run color. Yeah, pour some coffee on her. And then a romance ensues. And then there she kisses him without asking permission. Yes, but she's a celebrity. And she's, you know, female. So it's okay. It's all right. In this context, non consensual, I think is far better than the end when the stock broker, like just grabs that lady and kisses her. I think that was an issue. I think there are a lot of issues with consent that this movie does not there are issues. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it. I think there are issues with consent. I don't think it's as bad as many other ROM coms of the era, but it's certainly not great. No, anyways, not yada yada. They get together and a story. I mean, it's a pretty more or less, it's a pretty standard rom com with where it goes. I mean, we got the run to the airport scene, even though it's not an airport. You know what though she's on her way to the airport, more or less. She's at a press conference and then she's going straight to airport Yeah, huh okay still plays into the into the okay stereotype okay, but anyways, standard rom com but still love it. I think what I love is its standard but it hits all the notes it needs to, you know, oh it hits them hard like everything it needs to do it does it well anyways, yeah what's the what's the next what's the next thing we do on this pile it's it's it's this guy it's this guy's favorite part of the podcast and you know it's it's I I really fight to keep this in and it's because because I have such a strong voice in this podcast that we always get to keep doing this next part once it's the it's it's the yogi green tea quote of the day Shawn What's our Yogi core listeners of the day my my UT green tea the low carb on it at the end admittedly, this is one that I've been saving because I've had weeks to wait for this movie. I'm like what's the best Yogi green tea quote for this moment? And you also don't drink water you drink nothing but Yogi green tea and Snapple. So naturally he just also drink like a couple of wine. You know? Okay, sorry, you drink three beverages. Okay, the quote is love is to live for each other, which is you know, this is movies rom com love longing for each other. Yeah. Okay, moving on. Yani Do you like anything about this movie? What are your three likes three likes okay first like and these are all pretty small parts on the whole here's the thing I didn't hate this hate hate this movie. I just thought it was really standard like Sean says Sean says it's it hits all of its points pretty hard. I think it's if we're saying that hitting hard is like Babe Ruth knocking the ball out of the stadium. It's like you know a nine year old hitting a plastic baseball with a wiffle ball bat that's kind of what it's like my contact is made but the things sales like it doesn't really even sail into past the diamond rom com Do you like like what's a better rom com? Mostly? None. Really? I can't name a single one that I actually like like, Well, okay, listeners, you hear heard it here first. I'm just gonna pick like a string of ROM coms now, because easy pickings, but there were like, there were three things exactly three things that I actually walked away from this say, huh, that's relatively entertaining, I might endeavor to say I like that. The first was the line. So little context. After Julia Roberts character and a Scott kisses, huge grant without consent. she invites him over to his hotel to attempt to do it again, probably to extract more, more More, more, more, more unsolicited sexual. Oh, it's elicited then the first time is not but then it is. she invites him up to her hotel without telling him that there is a there interviews going on. She's being interviewed by multiple magazines for her most recent picture helix i think is the name. And when he shows up he has he's brought her some flowers. And he has no idea when he walks into this into her hotel room while he's being tailed by this other guy from another magazine, who's there to to guide you with her timeout. He's there with timeout magazine. He has no idea what he's walking into. He pretends that he's with horse and Hound, maybe some made up magazine, maybe a real magazine, he literally looks over and sees the magazine and goes no, what I'm saying is I don't know if it's actually real in our world. It's just it's a magazine. It's called horse and Hound he pretends to be one of their reporters has a meeting with Julia Roberts sets up a date. And as he's leaving, he's left the flowers with her. He runs into the guy from timeout again. They have a little exchange and the guy asks him, Oh, where are your flowers? And huge grant is like, Oh, well, she took them from me and guy from timeouts. Like she took your flowers and huge grants like, Oh, yeah, pitch. Like he's just coming up on the spot. He's coming up with Oh, in that moment. Yeah. I can't, I can't, I'm not going to give it I can't perform. I'm not an actor, Sean okay. But you can correct me if I'm wrong. He didn't say the bit in the beginning where he says, Hey, the guys like what are you doing with these flowers? and Hugh Grant is like making up on the spot. He's like, Oh, my grandmother's in the hospital. Like I'm bringing it to her. So that's how the flowers come back and how the guy remembers them. Okay. Yeah, the flowers come back. Hey, how's it? How's about Hey, since you have seen this one so many times, do you want to go ahead and just tell the whole story for me? Do you want to do that? Do you want to be my mouthpiece Shawn? I don't want to tell the host complimenting, I am complimenting Giving compliments to this movie that I don't really care for. How's about How's about you don't mingle me so much here, my dude. I'm sorry. You're the one who forgot that. It's like, I like this joke. And then saying the punchline to a joke. I like this show joke. And then he farts at the end. And you go, Wait, what? And everyone says, was there no setup? And then you go, Oh, shit. Yeah, there was a setup. I just forgot to mention the setup of the joke. Yeah, I thought it was funny. It was the only time during the entire two hours and five minutes that I laughed. That was my first thing. Shawn, what's the first thing? What's the first aspect of this stress movie that you like? I just want to say real quick. This All right, the scene in question that Jani is talking about. So I'd say like the five to 10 minute stretch of he goes, Oh, Hugh Grant goes over to see Anna Scott. And then he gets thrown into this press junket is probably my favorite scene of the movie, just because of how unexpected and comical it is. There's also after, you know, he has a little romantic entanglement with Anna Scott. And they go off and on between talking about the movie when somebody else is in the room, and then talking about more personal stuff when he's not, and back and forth is really funny. And then just when He grants like, Oh, I'm done with it, and being relieved, he gets thrown into a bunch of other press interviews that are hilarious, because he has no clue what he's doing. I love the entirety of this scene and like I love the first 40 minutes or so this movie so much. Yeah, I don't know. That's it. And that that's kind of like one of my big issues. That was funnier. But the first act there are so many of these awkward, uncomfortably awkward meandering Hugh Grant encounters with other random characters that just kind of drag on forever and ever, like the topel or the tupple exchange. Okay, well, in the beginning, was it What was that was one of those things I just felt like was totally unnecessary. One of my likes, it's not my first like, but since we're focusing on it right now. Okay, so my three likes are Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts number one. Number two is the calm number three is the wrong so I'm going to focus on the calm right now. Which I wrote was the witty and charming dialogue slash humor, Hugh Grant brings it I think, I haven't seen the entirety of his filmography. So I can't say for certain but know where he goes. And the tropes. Like, I feel like this this movie and for Weddings and a Funeral is where he starts his Hugh Grant ness and then it kind of it does devolve into something that's a bit Hugh Grant cliche. later on. It's cliche by this movie. He's He's a character. He's the exact same character that he wasn't for weddings in a funeral. No, but it's not as over the top as some of his later stuff, I'd say. Like as you're just saying, it's like I felt like I was watching for weddings in a funeral. I felt like I couldn't really discern anything different a baptizes to care watching. I'm not saying we're saying his performance is hugely are vastly different or the character is different. What I am saying is that if like he's at a six what he's doing this what he later hones in on it, well, I don't wanna say hones in but realize that's a stick and just plays it up like I was watching was a call. What about the Morgans? Or did you hear about the Morgans the other day? And I only got like 10 minutes into it. And he was like hamming it up like this kind of stuttering the whole time it was too much just go in while that was much but I feel like this was near the beginning of that phase where he it was it felt more natural. And also the dialogue itself really lent itself to a lot of that awkwardness and him stumbling. You know, I really enjoyed it. I mean, but to speak to your other point about like his constant encounters I loved every encounter he had, whether it be with his roommate, whether it be with his fellow shopkeeper, or with like, that guy who is asking about all these novels within the travel bookstore. Yeah, you could argue Oh, how can it be that stupid? It's pretty obvious that they don't have it. That was fine because it pays on it pays off later in the end. And because he tries during the most important emotional moments of the film, he walks in and huge grant huge grant is just like, no, get out. Leave, why don't you agree with that, because that's his name and save this huge grant. Oh my god, that topple dialog in the very first like 10 minutes where he's talking with his second in command or his employee and his employee thought he saw Ringo Starr but then he also thought, who was the star of Fiddler on the Roof, some guy that it goes on for like three minutes, nothing happens. There's no development and this and this character isn't even. They don't even do anything in the movie. later on. They try to flirt with with Anna Scott. And that's it. It's like, yeah. But but it pays off because it's another No, no, shut up. It's another instance, you get this interaction to say something and saying I know what you're saying instance, because at first he confuses a celebrity that looks nothing like another celebrity. Right. And again, he's like, I love the saying that Julia Roberts, Anna Scott, I love you and ghost. And she's like, I wasn't in ghosts. That was Demi Moore. And they look nothing alike. So it's another instance where he's just getting it so wrong. That that Oh, that's so funny. It's so funny. It's so funny. It's so humorous when it happens. It's your right. No, it was it was patting. It was patting it up for a two hour five minute movie that had no right being more than an hour and 25 minutes, there was so much padding in the runtime that didn't need to be there. And that was that's just one example of why the whole the whole third act did not even need to happen. Why do I do this part? You know, we're not getting we're not on the least favorite aspects. We're not on the least favorite. Okay, I'm talking about the second thing that I love the comedy in general, though, by the way, I just love it. So this is such a fucking funny movie throughout. Anyways, it's your second thing. Second thing you like second thing I liked the I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy line is way too good for this movie. And, and the movie knows it. That's the other thing. I guess that's kind of like a reason I like this sarcastically they know this line is so good, which it is. But when she delivers it when Anna Scott delivers it, it actually I actually did like kind of feel something. It affected me. Yeah, you know, especially given my current situation what I what I've been going through a little bit being separated from my fiance on and off here. I felt it. Okay. And the movie knows that it's better than the movie. The movie. Richard Curtis was like, Oh, dang, whoever I stole this from I have to kill because I need to use this line more than once. And then because at right after she, right after he turns her down, he meets with all of his friends. And he tells them the line to convince them how much of an adult who just was okay, so yeah, it's a good line. I can't fault them. They're her doesn't mean that her mouth wasn't weird while she was saying it, but Oh my God. Oh, my man, Julia Roberts has a weird mouth. It's hard. It's a little abstract. Okay, we're gonna talk about this right now we're going to talk about this. Okay, cuz this is my second. Like, I just wrote Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts, we kind of went off on Hugh Grant earlier. So I'm gonna focus on Julia Roberts right now. I'm not a big Julia Roberts fan until at least not until recently, because I watched this and half of Erin Brockovich recently. And I loved her so much in both and I went, Oh, that's why people like her. Because I think I really didn't care about her until those two movies. And I just love her performance so much. It feels very different for what she normally does, at least what I expect from her. And it's also I just feel like it's such a subdued performance. And it's also something that I love how it's just very atypical because usually with a rom com we have that for lack of a better term like that manic pixie dream girl that like girl who's like, so vibrant and fluffy and everything and she is so not that she is very introverted. She's very inward and doesn't want to speak. I mean, I think it's interesting their contrast II grant and Julia Roberts their character is because they're both awkward a lot. It's just that Hugh Grant, he says every when he doesn't know what to say, he just says every word that comes out comes to his mind, where she is a lot more careful and spends a lot more time. That does not necessarily mean the best stuff comes out. It's just like, you can tell she's always thinking over because at being a star, she has to be careful about our words, and I thought that was really interesting for the character. Cuz it goes against that idea of like, Oh, she's a star, she's going to be super smiley and super energetic all the time. And I also loved how her character grew. I mean, like, even though she can be really reserved at times when she yells at him, you know, when they're going through a fight, it's a whole different energy but you can totally see it from that character or like right before that once he's starting to open up to him. Yeah, it's just Julia Roberts his performance overall I just absolutely loved it was so good. And the scene you were talking about earlier, the I just the girls thing in front of a boy, it got me It got me again. It's like the line is good for her performance is great. Her performances, okay, now she's off putting for the most part in the Bible. My God. I also just don't like the character I don't like I don't like the character I don't like where they take her. And the whole time I kind of just feel like she's a celebrity she knows she is and for that reason she acts the way she does. And that for the most part works out to her favor in her favor. But we can go into more of that later because that's one of my least favorite she's one of my least favorite aspects of the movie. I hate the third thing they're saying this really great transition that occurs after Julia Roberts has left the second time she gets angry at huge grant makes these wild Kate you bat boundless accusations about him reporting her to the to the press so he can get attention or something really doesn't make any sense. There's nothing at all in his in their interactions or the way that he's spoken to her acted that might even tip off the possibility that he would do that. But okay, she gets there. Yeah, she does make she gets very hot headed. No, well, she's selectively guarded. She gets some chilly answer subject. And he's serious, though. It's nice. I'm not saying it's the 100% rational but it's rational for her character to assume that I do want to know she gets to disappear for the rest of the movie to happen. So anyways, huge grant is really sad. And he goes walking outside out macgruber style. If you sit down to grant one more time, he goes walking through Notting Hill. And as he's walking through Notting Hill on in this one, uninterrupted long take, I think it's actually like three different shots stitched together, but they do a really good job stitching them together. If they did. You see him walking through the different seasons, as they're affecting the street. So he starts out I believe in the fall, and then he walks into winter. And then when he gets to the end of the street, back to the store, it's spring again. And I thought that was actually legitimately impressive technique, very economic way of expressing time change passage of time, without making it dull, you know, without doing like a typical montage to show that he's just walking down the street with his hands in his pockets, ain't no sunshine is playing in the background. And you don't expect it that I guess that's one other thing is like the movie doesn't. There are no other techniques leading up to this point that would lead you to believe or expect that this sort of transition or this sort of storytelling is going to occur. And it does, and it's frankly, refreshing because the rest of it is kind of just standard in terms of editing and narrative. I will not disagree with that. It's a great sequence. I really love it. And I also agree that nothing is nothing stands out nothing as far as shooting and editing and cinematography and whatnot. This is the one standout Yeah, but yeah, I mean, it's not bad. And I you know, I would honestly, I don't want to call it a mediocre because I feel like it's a little bit better than that. Like, I was watching, like the Godfather Part Three today. And that some photography, you know, people will argue it looks good. I'm like, I think it looks like a turd. You look like a turd. I haven't seen this movie this film. And I know you look like i think i think cinematography is slightly above average, slightly, but not significantly. Anyways. My third thing I like, yeah, yeah, we're done with you. Last thing I like. As I said earlier, I like the calm and I liked the ROM, meaning the romance kind of talked about that earlier. I thought they're sweet together. I thought they had great chemistry throughout. It was real fun. It's like, I often will say in action movies, they really only work when you have a great villain like a hero's as good as his antagonist. And similarly with the romance like you both of them, you need to be in love with both of them. If you're only in love with one of the characters, but not the other one. It's not necessarily going to work and if you don't love both, either of them, then obviously doesn't work. But if you find both of them charming and witty or whatever, you're looking at a romance like you just really care about both of them, then it works. And I really cared about both of them. So yeah, yani seems to me that you fucking hate this movie for some reason, because you're a heartless bastard. What don't you like about it? Well, that actually, this is a great natural segue into my first dislike, Anna Scott, not specifically Julia Roberts performance of her, but the character and the way that the movie is built around her. Now see, I just have this feeling that if any other woman at just as beautiful as Anna Scott were to act the way she did, people would not be okay with it. And I think that indicates there's an immense amount of ego working behind her character that the movie kind of just wishes to either ignore or gloss over. It's like she's so aware of and confident in her celebrity that for instance, she feels like she can just kiss huge, huge grant without without him asking for it and just assume that that's what he's wanting, you know, and she apologizes for it later. And that you know that that's kind of like again, movie do movie doing the bare minimum to make her accountable for her actions. But then she just like is insinuates herself into his sister's birthday party by just assuming that these simpletons would love to be graced by the presence of the of the know nificent Hannah Skye, you're skipping over the fact that he asks her out on a date. He says, Daisy, and then and then he remembers, he has his sister's birthday party. And he's about to say he can cancel it. And then she just says like, Oh, I want to come to that party. I'm come What's wrong with that? She's ever met her? This is the first time he is sorry, the second time he has met this woman. Third, if you count, I mean, it's twice on last day, he asked her out, and then she's just like, No, I'm gonna come to your sister's birthday party. He doesn't. Yeah. Hey, doesn't weigh on the sister. He doesn't want to cancel. Also, when she can't meet her Afterwards, he can just meet her after the fact or before or Hey, how's about this one? How's about you just explained? Anna Scott, the most famous celebrity in the world currently has asked me out on a date. This is kind of an enormous extenuating circumstance. Oh, no, that's right. The movie needs us to meet the sister and the crippled friend I don't think and her don't get a lot of backstory on I'm not saying I love what I'm saying is fine. There's a lot of there's just I feel like there's a lot of ego behind this character that I don't did not address and the insecurities and the personal tragedies that she suffered. The point is that behind all the glitz and glam celebrities are still human beings, right? I think that's more or less the point of her character. That's something we all tend to forget with the people on the screen is that they're still human beings. They have emotions, and they have all these other troubles that they go through. And yes, that's a big deal. But in the scene where we first like get introduced to that idea, movie does the bare minimum of justifying itself. She says, you know that when talking about the brownie scene for a little context, there at the party? Yeah, they're at the party. And they've had dinner and they're trading. They're trying to determine who's going to get the last brownie and they say, Okay, well, whoever has the satis life gets the last brownie, you got somebody over here. This is a clip, as we say in there. If you were there, you would have got that brownie. I'm just saying. Yeah, probably right. No, I definitely would have because a woman who was crippled and can't have a child that is an immensely worse life. No. But then Julia, Anna Scott's like, Oh, well, um, and keep in mind, not five minutes earlier, we've heard that she made $15 million last year, the previous year for her work. She's like, Oh, well, I've had two surgeries. So I could become even more beautiful. And I've had to be on a diet for the last 10 years so I can be in good shape and also be healthy and continue to get rolls. And it's like, Yeah, she also has a bunch of horrible ex boyfriends. Which by the way, movie also doesn't acknowledge that she has a boyfriend and treats it as if it's like a tragedy that she has a boy for. I mean, yeah, Alec Baldwin's character, he's a total jerk we get that movie doesn't really do much to make it seem like there's any reason she should be with this guy, which actually, you know, little segue away from that I would have loved loved if we had explored why she felt it was okay to be try and be with huge grant while she was also with Alec Baldwin, by also making Alec Baldwin's character, not a totally trashy guy. If the movie had gone there, and really tried to explore her psychology, I think I would have far fewer issues. Use with her character. It just seems like she's overly simplified. Um, I just want that first note that in the notes you don't call him Alec Baldwin, you call him jack, jack Doc, you only call jack Donaghy? I don't know, I don't know if I've ever heard you call him Alec Baldwin. His name's Jeff King, I think in the movie, but I get what you're saying. And I think that would have been interesting, but I'm fine with the way the movie panned out. Yes, there is a bit of a problem with her having a boyfriend and not saying anything. But we don't know enough about the relationship to say how it really is. Because it seems to us that it's really on the rocks, or maybe they were separated. And she thought they were separated. But we don't really know. Anyways, I don't think she has as big of an issue as what you're saying. But I want to go back real quick. Because what you were saying about the Oh, you know, I have a lot of money, but my life stinks. And then you say well, that's not a big deal. I feel like that lesson neither of us know what that life is like, but I know you're right. We don't but there are people that everyone at that table had it way worse than she did. objectively. Definitely. I don't know. I've never been treated it like she's seriously had far worse things. I think anyone has seen a Christmas carols down. Have you seen A Christmas Carol? Like, you know how Tiny Tim he don't got his legs but well, he's got some issues but like he's got love and he's got family. They have family you know what she has? She has nothing she has money. But like Citizen Kane, she's sad and alone. Sean here for a nother audio footnote. You know, your favorite audio footnote that segment where I while editing realize that I neglected to make a point that I really should have, as well as Yani steamrolled and misconstrued what the actual truth in fact are, the movie is. So in this audio footnote, I'm gonna just talk a little bit about Anna Scott, because Jani likes to think her life is totally made. And she has no problems in the world, which is what the point that he just made. And I'm just editing, realizing that, oh, we didn't even talk about the fact, which is in the movie, by the way, that is very obvious, which is that Anna has to deal with impossible standards. She is objectified by every person, every single person in her life objectifies her. But that's her as well as society, she has to deal with so many beauty standards. And even in this brownie scene. I mean, it's so self evident that while like, I brought up the point earlier that she was alone and lonely. But it's more than that is just or going along with later on when her nudes leak. She's having to deal with a society that just doesn't view her as a person. But she can't just disappear into a crowd. She everyone knows her that she's on Billboard, she's in movies, she's everywhere. So she becomes less than a person in a sense, because don't people don't view her as a person. So it's all this unsurmountable pressure that yes, she has all this money. But you know, like, Marilyn Monroe or somebody there you're looked at, because that's actually a good comparison as being this sex symbol. And that's all you are to everybody. And the standards become so impossible that they tear you apart and they eat at you in a way that even though you have that money, that money is not a cushion, and that's not going to protect you. And yeah, yani didn't make that point. And I don't give a fuck that he can't respond to this. He's going to hear this when I sent him the Edit. But in actuality, he's probably not going to listen to this episode, so he can go fuck himself back to the episode. She's She's had she, I don't even because the movie also doesn't explain where her terrible choice in men comes from. I can't say that it's a horrible thing that she also has boyfriends that aren't great guys, because what does it mean if she keeps on if she keeps on running to guys who are also dirtbags? What does that mean about a her and be huge grant is huge grant all that great of a guy well Guess what? He's 300 quid in the hole with his bookshop at the very beginning of the movie. So if that bookshop is also still around eight months later, kind of leads me to believe that he's doing some less than legal things to keep it afloat. Maybe that's why she's attracted to him. Maybe huge grants. Also not a great guy. Maybe that's why his ex wife left. Listen, if I were his ex wife, and I met a man who looked like Harrison Ford, don't get me wrong, Hugh Grant. I like you. But I mean, it's Harrison Ford. Maybe Hugh grants the kind of guy who would get a roommate like spike who would bring that sort of person into his household. Maybe Hugh Grant isn't a fantastic person. Maybe that's why she's attracted what's in the movie though? You're not the movie doesn't say Hugh Grant has a bad movie. It doesn't say a lot. But here's here's the thing. There are so many ROM coms where the guy will do sketchy stuff skeevy stuff they go oh, that's not right. Like, oh, that's actually a really dick mover. That's creepy. And that doesn't really happen here. I mean, there are some issues with consent as far as like kissing and some stuff, but it's really minor in comparison to a lot of other things. And other ROM coms that have not nearly you're also not wrong about but I don't I was I don't want you to throw on this shit. That's not actually there. Okay, I won't throw all this stuff on that isn't there. I'll just talk about what is she knew she had a boyfriend. She knew what she was doing. She was she was going to be committing infidelity. Yeah, with somebody else. Even though she was still with this person. They were both actively engaged in the relationship doesn't matter how much of a dirtbag he Alec Baldwin, Jeff donaghys character is, she still knew she was still going to do it. Okay, whatever. And, and furthermore, he was just like a smaller point about that. Everybody at that dinner table at the party knew she was dating Jeff King, jack Donaghy, Alec Baldwin, but nobody pointed it out. Nobody told him about it. One, two, nobody acted like that was the truth. They all kind of just like, pretended that she was there with him as his date. And that it also wasn't weird that she's famously seeing this other man, but for some reason she's here with him. And it's very clear that they have a vibe. It's like he's a Make a wish kid. You know, sometimes you don't have an explanation. Well, sometimes he just I mean, they they it's like later on when he his friends didn't say anything shot. They just waited until he talked. It's like later on, when they don't want to tell him that he made a huge mistake letting her go and rejecting her. They don't want to break his heart because he's obviously a romantic and they're like, Okay, well, she'll just go off and I'll just never be a thing. And he'll just think like, what if they didn't think it would get as serious as it did? Okay. But the atmosphere in that scene where they where they are, like, kind of holding back with him. It's obvious. It's he can tell and they know that they that he can tell it's very patent on everyone's face that he did the wrong thing. And that what they're saying, and that how they appear or not. It's not one for one, but still I again, I just don't think that they necessarily expected it. I think they were like, Oh, this is a fun night. They didn't think it would progress in the way it did. It would just fizzle out. It'd be a fun little story for later on. rose colored glasses. Let's move on. Okay, I didn't have too much I disliked the one thing that bugged the shit out of me the first time I saw it, and now rewatching it still annoys the shit out of me. But I know how to fix it is the roommate. So spike gets engaged to his sister, the third act and it's so poorly handled. And it irritates me because these characters have never shared a scene before throughout the entire movie. You're not wrong. And then we are 90 minutes into this two hour movie. They finally share one quick scene together and then the literal following scene. They're getting engaged. What the fuck? Well, luckily, characters naturally have meant for one on and then they're apparently in love afterwards and you just go Wait what? And now rewatching it and know all that was gonna happen? It actually annoys me more because they clearly set up the potential with the stockbroker friend, where there's a joke about Would you date me and she's like, oh, I'll date you and that brownie scene something like that. And he constantly is talking about how he Saturdays alone. So we set that up. We set it we know that they know each other. We set up that possibility. And they'd say, you know, I know we put that in the air but like these two characters who don't know how They're gonna get together instead. And I'm just like, wait, what probably didn't fly in a test screening? I have to imagine I have to imagine it was a change, because it makes no sense to me. It was set up and then they just yeah, i the only thing I can think of as a test screener or something where they made a change, because it's, it's the most mind boggling change. And also, it's just like, they had the little bit but then there are plenty of scenes where they don't really develop that romance any longer. They're like, they share the same space in the scene, but they're not doing anything together. So it would make sense that they added a couple additional scenes of them like being like, Oh, I love you, babe. And that's it. It's just it's just so poorly handled and irritates the shit out of me. I agree. Yeah, that was that was poorly handled. Jani. You're already talking about jack. Number two. Can we move on? Can we not talk about it? Yeah, I'll just I'll just mention my number two. Shawn likes the dialogue. I don't like the dialogue. In particular, I don't like you're like, Fuck you. I love that most of huge grants interactions with the tertiary characters in this movie. They just drag on for way too long. I get it. He he fumbles. He's He's dewy eyed. His hair is thick. Like a lion's mane. He's adorable. Let's just let him ramble all he wants, but maybe not in the first half hour because I kind of felt like we were just wasting time. There you go. What's your next thing, Shawn? I will add that I almost wrote, I almost wrote in my likes the supporting cast. Because I really like everybody, particularly in the first third of the movie. It's just when things progressed with the characters, then it's just like, there was a clear hierarchy of like, I really loved the front in the wheelchair and her husband. And then everyone else kind of particularly spike in the sister just I started to hate. Anyways, neither here nor there. Second thing I didn't like, is one small moment, at the very end when Hugh Grant is trying to go see Anna Skye at her press conference. And the guy's like, we can't let you in. And then speaking of his front of the wheelchair, she wheels on up to the hotel desk. And she's like, who grants with me Let him in. And he's like, Who are you? And she's like, I'm a cripple. Now. She don't say that. She's she says, I'm writing an article. I am parent paraphrasing. I'm running an article on hotel treatment towards people in wheelchairs. And the guy is immediately like, okay, you can go in, you know, and it's such a lame ass threat, you would think that guy would immediately go Okay, well, do you have any identification? Can you tell me who you're writing the article for? Like, he's like, he gets the tiniest threat, that tiniest tiniest and he goes, Oh, oh, I got to bend over backwards for this person. Like, I get the customer's always right. And service and, and the guy with her. Yeah, but it's just like, there could be legitimate. I mean, what if this guy was a terrorist and he just said, okay, you know, like, let him in. I mean, but more importantly, it's just a really lazy threat in order to get hugh grant to go where he needs where he needs to go. And I wish it was just a better zinger. Something that is more impactful. Yeah. Yana your third, your third dislike my third. It's going to be the manufacturer third act drama that makes this movie half an hour longer than it needed to be. Yeah, really read that off the cue card like Marlon Brando. Basically what happens is huge grant hasn't seen Anna Scott for six months finds out she's shooting a movie somewhere locally nearby. So Henry James novel, I think is what they said. So he goes on set to see her notices her she invites him on set so they can talk after they're filming but it's the last day of filming by the way. And they're running behind and they're over scheduled so naturally what happens is huge grant gets access to the to the leads loves the sound technician lets him listen to the leads loves on this the most the last the final day that is also very over scheduled and very running behind. So he's listening in and as he's listening, the leads, Anna Scott and whatever this other guy, whoever this other guy is like talking and he Michael Caine. Yes. He asks her what huge grant is doing on set and she says Oh, it's this guy. So really just some really, prevaricating dialogue. Obviously, it she's just trying to not talk about it with this person with to this person with whom she's not very well acquainted. But huge grant interpretative interprets it as something much bigger than it is goes off to his bookshop, doesn't talk to her, she shows up and then that whole just a girl standing in front of a boy telling, blah, blah, blah, all that it didn't need to happen. It Didn't need to happen it just it added that part specifically added like 15 minutes to this movie that did not need to be there. Everything should have and could have been resolved. Like that day when he went to see her on set. I just want to say first of all, I know I keep saying First of all, you said earlier, he listens in and it results in like this big drama. I forgot exactly what you said. But you said the word big and why I don't understand it. Keep calling this motherfucker huge. Why did you not use the pun? And say huge drama. Like how did you miss that? You moron? You're so stupid like you had a good job How do you miss the fact how did huge miss the fact that she wasn't she wasn't really being terribly personal with this person. How did how did huge miss that that was a huge, huge he asked you this Yani when you are hurt when you near you when you're in a sad space. And your feelings. say he just turned around let me take in a new lead just because it happened means it just because he said that. He's trying to let people know he's okay when in reality is not. But is being very short sighted. He's not really understanding what's going on. Yeah, logically, that makes sense. But it's the reason why he rejected her when she comes to the shop. He is feeling really raw and really emotional. And he's not necessarily thinking it over. He's not necessarily thinking the logistics of Yeah, it obviously, it's not entirely accurate. He just heard that. I mean, there have been plenty of times in my life where I will overhear something that can hurt in a similar kind of way. And legit. taking away the woman you're in love with, who you will probably never see again, if you turn her away. It doesn't make you do that sort of thing. No, I Oh, it has to be substantially bigger than that, doesn't it? Well, to be quite frank, it's not like any ladies are coming over being like, Shawn, I'm just a girl stand in front of a boy asking her to love me. It's more like, Shawn, I see us as just friends. So, you know, I can't really compare that experience. But just in general, I understand I I get what you're saying about being alone manufactured and to degree it is. But I also definitely think it's not unreasonable. I don't think it's unreasonable. I just think it's obvious. It's it's manufactured. It's there. It's clearly it's clearly there. Yeah. Like you just didn't, it didn't need to happen. I just feel like an entire three act structure had occurred from the beginning to the point where she comes to see him at his house. And I would have been fine if the movie had just ended there. You know, if it if it ended at its absolute height, where emotions were highest, the Papa Razzi were there, and they were actually pushed emotionally as characters, I would have liked to have seen that. But I didn't really get that I didn't really and and as a as a consequence of that. I walked away not really feeling anything, any sort of sense of sympathy for either character as a whole. Because I didn't really see any emotional extremes. I didn't really see that they were in love it they talked about basically came to love him. He talks about loving her, even though he only spent like a total of four days with this woman. Maybe I'm just a little skeptical, but I don't believe that that sort of feeling is actually the I don't believe that that feeling is the sort of thing you can describe as love. It just seems like mild infatuation to me. I mean, like, and I feel like the marriage wouldn't have worked out. Okay. Do you feel like the Godfather? What Michael just sees that, that I'm bringing up the Godfather because I've seen it recently, when he sees that girl in Sicily, and it's just like it without even talking to her goes out. Like it's Yo, I want to marry her. Okay, cool. All right. Yeah, no, that's that's exactly what it is. That's It's all right. A Hold on. Let me think of the word it is a transaction more or less. That's how Michael views it. And it's kind of obvious that that's the way it's not really a good comparison. You know? No, it's not. It's not I want you to know, I have more sympathy towards Hugh Grant and Julia Roberts in this movie than I will ever have for you. I want you to know that from the bottom of my heart. That's fine. That's fine. And I have more sympathy for the woman in the wheelchair than I have for you and your entire like everyone you've ever encountered. I care more about that woman, that fictional character, that actress who was sitting Got a wheelchair pretending to be crippled But yeah, I will ever care about you or anyone that includes myself. Okay? It's not to say I bet you I have been lessened by knowing you even in my own eyes. Well, you're that falls into yourself. It's it's infecting mice. It's extending. It's pushing our expanding into myself and it's consuming Me too. But yes, actress in the wheelchair I hold above you. All right, so my third point, my if you don't have a third point, my third and a third you didn't write it down in the outline. I didn't get right. I didn't write it down in the outline. Because I literally watched this movie right before we started recording because I didn't have time before that. Because again, I was gonna watch it last night. But then my roommate surprised me and was with his girlfriend here. Now. It's like fuck, I can't watch this movie now when I want it and plan to watch it because they were here. Watching like Star Wars clone wars and shit. And again, I have nothing wrong with them. They're fine. Like they're both lovely people. It's just your taste the shit out of the tartakovsky Clone Wars or the like digitally animated one. The Animated one? No like the they're like I think there are multiple Clone Wars. Are we talking about the guindy carta? An idea which one they're watching? Does it Is it the one that looks like Samurai jack? I I've only heard it because I've been in my room as they watch it. I asked them. I'm not sneaking up on them. No, I know. It is you might care. I don't care about Star Wars. I don't care what they're watching. I just I don't care about Verizon living room watching things. And the HBO is only on the TV in the living room. And this is playing on HBO Max, so I couldn't watch it in my room. So I had to watch other movies. I watched Francis Ford Coppola movies, which were fine, but they weren't Notting Hill. So I want to say final thoughts. What are you you know? Like if you're into ROM coms if you're into ROM coms, then I'm sure you've already seen this one is a great I imagine it's probably one of the most popular ones to come out of the 1990s Is that right? Can you think of something bigger that came out of the 90s in terms of ease I thought it was like this is 99 Okay. Yeah, this is one of the bigger ones. I love it. If if you like ROM coms if you're the sort of person who enjoys these stories, these characters, I'm sure you'll like it. If you haven't already seen it. I'm sure you will. Not my cup of tea. Final rating. You know, I really actually liked that recommendation that that that that fan wrote in with so I think we're gonna go on. I think we're gonna start using decimal points. Sorry, I don't know what I don't know what he was saying about doing them before. I don't remember ever including a decimal point with any we've always been concerned. We haven't always done decimal points. You've always done decimal point, providing ever saying, bring proof but you never provide proof while we're recording so I can literally recording the pie. Wes, what other books do I need? Let's go ahead. Let's use decimal points. What did I give? Indiana Jones. It was like a 6.6 or something right? Maybe a six point something more ironic. six points in Indiana Jones is still better than this. I'll give it that. I don't like Indiana Jones. Are you in that? Of course. It gets better than this. The real question is is is is Kabhi Khushi Kabhi calm better than this? And I'm my gut reaction is yes, I think it is. So I'm going to give Notting Hill it's also I'm going to say it's better than Molly's game. Oh absolutely. So probably 6.2 final verdict. Notting Hill 6.2 didn't hate it. Definitely didn't love it. Okay, I'll say better than some. Not as bad as many Notting Hill is in my top five American ROM coms loved it. As far as the Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham comparison is concerned, I honestly would have to think really hard about it. I think they're really fucking close to me. Because I love them. Both are very similar reasons. I'd have to honestly think about Yeah, I'd had I'd had those. It's such a tough one because I love them both with Molly's game, you know, I know I said fuck you because immediately I can definitely put this above Molly's game, but I hate I love Molly game Molly's game so much that it irritates me that you make that comparison irritate me, like all this game. I thought I invest by you. You are you're nebulously vexed by my opinions. So intro to next week's film. Yeah, what is next week's piece of shit. So, Sean this this movie, talking about? we're featuring a character, a man who's recently divorced from his wife and experiencing it his divorce in a way that seems a little too. He seems to be in a state of almost unnatural equilibrium with it. So I thought, I want to I want to explore the opposite that I want to see. I want to see what divorce looks like At the other extreme. Is this carryover as grand I also I also wanted to see I wanted to watch something that I knew you just you couldn't fathom. So for the future, Sean, buckle up, I want you to sit down, log into your closest criterion channel and not very jerian criteria channel enabled device and search for Ingmar Bergman's 1969 film The Passion of Anna because that's what we're watching for next week. This is probably the first Ingmar Bergman movie I've ever seen because I really don't what what yeah, I get I don't think you go to film school and you didn't watch a single a but a persona wild strawberries no seeds for a marriage now the seven seals know the silence winter lights now. I look last start Not a single I do not care about these movies. Good god what cave Do you live in the cave? Or I watched Notting Hill instead of those movies. Good. I'm done with this. I'm so fuckin done with it. Why did I Why did I come back? You know that's I Ah, passion of Anna. You're gonna watch it. You're not gonna remind me. I'm gonna forget it's so forgettable. I also need to bring up that when I was doing my cope. I did I did a huge ass Coppola binge this past week. Both Francis and Sophia. And I found at least one Francis Ford Coppola movie on every streaming channel. Except criteria, which doesn't make any sense to me how one of the most esteemed filmmakers ever doesn't have a single movie on the Criterion Collection. But whatever it dumb Fox because it's three important films were also commercially successful. He has a lot of other movies he has the jack don't convert the conversation is the only one I think could could possibly be a candidate for criteria chain is ro not Dracula. Rama fish is an actual Criterion Collection movie. Like it's the DVD they have on DVD. So I don't I don't know how the streaming works for that service. But well, they don't they don't stream all of their titles sometimes. They bring some in sometimes they also like every how they service how they did not streaming Armageddon. The Rock is mind boggling to me. Because they resent classic decision. They worry negatively those i don't know i don't i don't know if they actually I'm just better and I Criterion Collection. Are you a Navy? I'm coming for you. I'm gonna I'm gonna macgruber rip your throat out. Okay. Is that is that the only threat? You know? Do you even know how to grip someone's throat? Shawn? Have you ever done that? Have you ever have you ever even wrapped your arm around someone's neck and in front of a mirror and slowly choked them out and watch the life leave their eyes? What about animals? Have you ever done that with a small animal? The fact that you're saying this makes me think that you have like the specifics you're using right now? Yeah, what animal Did you kill? It wasn't it. Okay, what was that? Fuck your opinion? Fuck you. Fuck you.
