Roger: “Here's a joke, boy. One day this man walks out of his house to go to work. He sees this snail on his porch. So he picks it up and chucks it over his roof, into the back yard. Snail bounces off a rock, cracks its shell all to shit, and lands in the grass. Snail lies there dying. But it doesn't die. It eats some grass. Slowly heals. Grows a new shell. And after a while it can crawl again. One day the snail up and heads back to the front of the house. Finally, after a year, the little guy crawls back on the porch. Right then, the man walks out to go to work and sees this snail again. So he looks at it and says, 'WHAT THE FUCK’S YOUR PROBLEM?’”

Jake Hoyt: *Laughs* “That’s not funny, that’s not funny.”

Alonzo: “Then whatchu laughing for if it ain’t funny?”

Roger: “You figure that joke out, you’ll figure the streets out.”

Hey,
I’ve been feeling pretty down lately. I recently moved away for college and don’t have contact with either of my parents, so I’ve been feeling quite alone.
I watched Practical Magic the other night and found it surprisingly comforting. I loved the cosy atmosphere, the house, the little bit of magic and just how warm everything felt. I’m looking for something with a similar vibe, if that makes sense.
Preferably something from the ‘80s, ‘90s or 2000s, not too romance-focused, and not coming-of-age. It doesn’t have to be witchy or anything, I just want something cosy and hopeful that makes you feel a little better about life. Nothing too sad or bittersweet, please I’ve had enough of that lately lol 😂
I’d really appreciate any recommendations. Thank you !! ❤️

I joined to make this post (and because I love movies)

I went to watch Digger yesterday and it was good, it deserves to be seen and I think a lot of people could get something from it.

The trailers I watched made it look like a goofy movie about a quirky character and filled with dumb jokes but it has a lot more to offer than that. It's not quirky and dumb, that's just an appearance that has a place and explanation inside the movie universe.

The movie has substance but it's not preachy. It can be understood in a lot of ways depending on your views.

I don't feel it's about or against climate change, corporations, politics and all of that.

It certainly contains those elements and makes a parody of them, showing their dark side but it's not just a social critique.

I feel the movie is about people and our role in the shape of humanity and the World, about society and why it works the way it does. About our present and our likely future.

Give it a chance and go watch it. Not everybody will like it but it has something to say to most people.

One of my favourite films is Blue Jasmine and I’m doing a rewatch. I have to say Sally Hawkins and Bobby Cannavale do a phenomenal job playing their characters. Their supporting roles really paint the environment of everyday people being terrorized by a woman shattered by her pride and mental illness deteriorating everything around her. A brilliant film if it’s not too triggering for people.

Baseado no livro de José Saramago e lançado em 2008, "Ensaio sobre a Cegueira", que eu tenho em DVD e pode ser visto no YouTube, parte de uma ideia tão absurda quanto incômoda: sem nenhuma explicação, um homem perde a visão enquanto dirige, no meio do trânsito de uma cidade grande. Mas não é a escuridão de uma cegueira comum. O que ele vê é um branco intenso, como se estivesse mergulhado em um mar de leite.

Essa "cegueira branca" se espalha rápido, atingindo quem teve contato com os primeiros infectados. Uma pessoa depois da outra fica cega de repente. As autoridades resolvem isolar os doentes em um hospital desativado. Entre os confinados estão um oftalmologista e sua mulher, vivida por Julianne Moore, a única que, sem que ninguém entenda (e em segredo), continua vendo.

É desse confinamento que o diretor Fernando Meirelles parte para construir uma das representações mais brutais da degradação humana no cinema. Cegos, abandonados pelo Estado e submetidos a condições horríveis, os personagens vão perdendo, aos poucos, as referências que sustentavam a convivência em sociedade, a bússola que guia a nossa civilização.

A comida logo se torna moeda de poder, e a violência começa a definir hierarquias. O hospital, que deveria ser um espaço de proteção, se transforma em um laboratório da barbárie, onde sobreviver a qualquer custo vem antes de qualquer princípio moral ou gesto altruísta.

O que torna o filme tão perturbador é justamente a percepção que o espectador tem da velocidade com que a civilização pode desmoronar. E o mais inquietante é notar que a cegueira não cria a crueldade que aparece lá. Não: a doença só remove os mecanismos que, até então, seguravam os instintos animais (e cruéis).

Por ser a única que enxerga, a mulher do médico se torna testemunha de horrores que os outros não podem ver (alguns, felizmente). Sua visão, longe de ser uma vantagem absoluta, é, em várias situações, um peso moral. Está tudo diante dos seus olhos: a sujeira, a violência, a humilhação e a decomposição das relações humanas.

Julianne Moore constrói sua personagem com uma contenção admirável e foge do papel da heroína convencional. Sua humanidade está exatamente nas escolhas difíceis que precisa fazer. Afinal, enxergar não significa necessariamente ter poder para mudar o que se vê.

Boa parte das cenas externas de "Ensaio sobre a Cegueira" foi filmada no centro de São Paulo. As filmagens também ocorreram em Toronto, Montevidéu e Osaka.

What are 10 great movies that I could watch that are on there right this moment?

Edit: 10 that aren't connected to each other, and aren't kids movies. Just noticed that the Ice Age movies are on their 10 most watched movies right now, don't care about Ice Age.

• Crystal Lake

Wait....so did he get his power before the kids bullied him and threw him in the lake to drown??

I'm not watching the show, so I don't know what's going on.

I’m not alone in loving this film but there’s a significant part of the storyline which bugs me. Neil Macaulay is a professional thief and very meticulous and cautious about planning and executing jobs. He aborts one heist when he hears a clunk that might indicate Police presence. He buys books on the tensile strength of metals to aid him in blowing up bank trucks and safes. So how does he end up hiring a loser like Waingro and using him on a job as a first timer, none of his crew had met or worked with him before, he executes a guard without cause putting them at risk of worse prison time and <checks notes> he is a serial killer. If a crew member dropped out last minute wouldn’t the cautious MCaulay have passed on the job or that time around? Make it make sense to me.

This isn't promotional in any way, it's a web app I've created purely for myself, which will be obvious that it's vibe coded, but I love data and I wanted to track the value I get out of my unlimited cinema membership, but also to let me keep track of my own favourite movies, with tier lists and a graph explorer.

I'm up to 55 movies so far in 2026, with a lot more to come by the end of the year

I'm assuming this will be allowed, it might be something people find interesting

Might inspire other people to potentially do similar themselves

I dont give two shits if this movie doesnt age well, this is exactly how you should make a street fighter movie.

When you think about it, this is a pretty hard game to adapt. And the way they did it, they embraced the absurdity of the game, which was just perfect. This movie feels like an 80s movie released in 2026.

Now I know what you're thinking, Callina Liang is not the star of this movie, and Im here to tell you you're wrong. I forgot all about this hadouken stuff when she came on screen.

Only 2 things I didnt like, one I didnt need this much fucking animation, the first one was all that was needed. And two, maybe just a little more fighting than story.

Well thats it. I dont feel like I gave much in terms of spoilers, but its out so you should take your ass to the theater and enjoy a good time.

I remember watching the Amityville Horror when I was a young teenager and I don’t think anything petrified me more than watching that movie. Once was enough for me! The Exorcist was another one that gave me palpitations.

which famous actors that did you not know was in a horror movie before they were famous
