I LIKE MOVIES Trailer | Mongrel Media

[@ericmacisaac]

This reminds me of my childhood. Renting movies and watching them alone. Reading the backs of movie cases at the video store for hours.

[@B.McAllister]

I didn't have many friends going to school growing up. I was bullied a lot so I rented movies all the time until my highschool years. I rented and bought from four different video stores and they all knew me by name. I was the kid that rented every single horror film they had. Parents gave the green light, so I was allowed to even though I was under 18. They weren't legally supposed to unless an adult was with me but they broke that rule for me haha. It was right between the era of dvd and VHS. VHS was beginning to phase out. I miss being able to do that. Having Netflix and streaming services just isn't the same as the adventure of going to, spending time looking at literally every single VHS/dvd front and back covers then choosing five movies, for five nights for five dollars. Flipping through streaming platforms gives like 0.4% of that feeling. I am definitely checking this out. If the promoters for this film were smart, they'd rent out a storefront and make an actual video rental store with VHS and DVDs/blurays and rent this film out on all three formats.

Well said. Nostalgia is what is missing in this world. Going to get a movie or 5 was an event. Simpler times.

[@nawdude4292]

All the movie shelves in the store were found at an abandoned Blockbuster in Owen Sound Ontario which has the last abandoned Blockbuster building in Canada.

[@allytall90]

I have never cringed at a movie so hard in so long, holy fuck, and I’ve seen people who hate this movie because of it, this film is fantastic and definitely worth a watch, Lawrence, the main character sucks so hard, and you really feel for the side characters because of that, his boss Alana is genuinely the sweetest person, she’s so caring and empathetic, and she finds herself being vulnerable with Lawrence only for him to turn around and slap her in the face with it. it’s absolutely heartbreaking how he treats the people around him, and ive never hated a character more, which makes his arc incredibly satisfying, seeing him treat these people with the affection they deserve is so satisfying. A great watch, especially when you can relate to the title character a bit.

[@subSB]

I appreciate your info and insight on the film. Where did you happen to watch it? (I cannot find access to it anywhere)

My mother is buried there. Based on the trailer I think that I would rather go visit my mother's cemetery in Burlington than watch this movie. The cemetery is close to the foot long hot dog stand. I like good movies. I'll settle for foot long hot dogs if my choice is a bad movie.

[@zbighugh9193]

I couldn't finish this movie. The main character is so unlikeable, detestable, the audience won't care if he succeeds or fails. In fact, with all his awful behavior to his best friend and at work, you want him to fail. Common flaw of movies of this kind. They should study movies w/ loser characters but w/ redeeming/interesting characteristics w/c makes audience root for the characters, like 'Stand By Me' -- three kids who are losers but funny, loyal, friendly, great camaraderie, and hidden talents and courage.

[@Leprutz]

I agree with you there, but the true art of such a bad detestable character is to make him be liked by the audience. Reason is that the character has to grow or have something that makes us identify with. And yes... it is completly missing here and he just seems to be mean, for the sake of it. I am finishing the movie though it's hard, because I felt like stoping the movie due to the unlikeable character.

[@dotheboogieful]

by the end of the movie he is clearly less narsacicisitic i.e asking questions about others. Yes a generally horrible character, but let's not forget he's still a kid and has some pretty big trauma under his coat tail.

[@zbighugh9193]

@@dotheboogieful As a writer, you shouldn't wait till the end of the movie for your audience to want to have empathy for your character. You'll lose them if you don't do it early enough. Case in point, Catcher in the Rye. Main character Holden is a loser but he's funny, witty, and seems decent and cares too much, and this is clear from the beginning. So you wanna keep reading and caring about him.

[@wethole]

I've never understood people who think 'unlikable character = unlikable movie'. Do you not like any Scorsese movies?

[@zbighugh9193]

@@wethole 'Goodfellas', 'Taxi Driver' -- they all had characters that had redeeming qualities that made you want to cheer for them. You can have a loser character but you need to add qualities that would make the audience want to cheer for them too. Example, 'Joker'. He was a loser but he was persistent, he was a force of nature, he dreamed big, and he was like us in the sense that we have our breaking point.

[@mikeb8468]

So very minor spoiler for the film but this will probably surprise people. The main character is one of the most insufferable and unlikable main characters Ive seen in recent years. I thought the main character was going to be like me, i love acting and filmmaking and I thought I'd relate to the character. He was a complete narcissist but I thought his arc was really good and I was satisfied with the ending. Definitely worth watching.

[@lobesteral]

Yeah I felt the same way about Lawrence. I think his arc comes together in a very satisfying way

Okay this is playing at the Playhouse Cinema in Hamilton, Ontario. The story is fairly local. The script, performances and production values are......low. I'm only seeing this if the concessions are really discounted or the ticket price is close to zero.
