Pleasant Patreon Pick Poll!
Added 2024-06-03 18:00:07 +0000 UTCHoly alliteration Batman!
Seeing as the votes ended up having:
1x9 votes
3x8 votes
4x6 votes
I decided to make 2 polls: One for Patreon and one for YouTube, so make sure to vote in both!
I do love how for this poll each movie is in a different decade! If only Singing in the Rain was 1947 or 1957, then all of them would have released in a year ending in 7 😂
I don't know much about these, aside from Sunshine and Contact being sci-fi.
Reminder that you can vote for more than one movie in this poll!
The poll will be ending on June 10th at 11am EDT/3pm UTC.
In the event of a tie, I will be flipping a coin to see which one wins, since it seems you are all in cahoots! 🤣

Sunshine is fantastic. Honestly I think all of these are must watch films and I hope Vero gets around to all of them eventually.

2024-06-05 14:04:30 +0000 UTCEvery single Coen movie I've seen, I've loved. And I regret to say none of them have been Raising Arizona. But this would get me to finally check it out because yes, so many people love it. And maybe I wanna be one of them.

2024-06-05 05:27:49 +0000 UTCThank you, I found it and made my vote. My vote is not winning, but I am not upset because I definitely want Vero to see that too. And... and kind of all of them. Eventually.

2024-06-05 05:17:53 +0000 UTCThank you!!! You're the MVP. I just now figured out how to find and link to a post, which is not very obvious :D

2024-06-04 13:11:46 +0000 UTCI was the one that suggested "Contact," and I agree that it isn't a perfect movie. I think it has a lot of great stuff in it, but there are definitely things that could've been done differently. (Obviously, I won't get into specifics until after a reaction.) I do think it's still worth watching though, especially when one keeps in mind that this was "90's Zemeckis." I just find it interesting seeing how similar it is aesthetically to other Zemeckis movies of the time. (Forrest Gump, Castaway.)

2024-06-04 11:39:12 +0000 UTCVoted for Raising Arizona because my choice on the original post was also a Coen brothers movie and I want more Coen brothers movie reactions.

2024-06-04 10:14:09 +0000 UTCAs you noted above, some movies just don’t age well (I lose interest or have simply watched them to death). I’d include the Matrix films, Star Wars, Gladiator, 🤔 … the list goes on, but suffice it to say that these are not bad films, just not currently interesting. [The MCU and DCU collections are slipping into that category—and I don’t mean the current crop of shite.] I haven’t rewatched Contact in a couple of years and, when compared to Arrival, I don’t feel compelled. YouTube reaction videos are more fun (and take less time) than rewatching the originals 🤭.

2024-06-03 22:22:26 +0000 UTCI do love sunshine, it keeps me warm 😁

2024-06-03 22:18:13 +0000 UTCIt means all the movies are pleasant (or so I assume 🤣)

2024-06-03 22:17:55 +0000 UTCI'm very curious to see Nick Cage in more roles than Face/Off 😁 especially since I learned that he won an oscar for one of his roles.
Verowak
2024-06-03 22:17:43 +0000 UTCI find it interesting how some movies just stop being of interest to us as time changes, and how for other movies we get a new appreciation for them.
Verowak
2024-06-03 22:16:36 +0000 UTCIt's always nice to rewatch a movie that you haven't seen in years! Interesting to see if it still holds up and maybe pick up on some things that were missed the first time around

2024-06-03 22:15:46 +0000 UTCHaven’t used Vudu…is that a rental? Currently just using Apple for purchases and those are tied to their hardware/software. [Their prices are $4 rental/$17 purchase for Raising Arizona currently.]

2024-06-03 19:19:50 +0000 UTCWait. Pleasant. Does that mean I don't get a vote this time?

2024-06-03 19:17:11 +0000 UTCRaising Arizona is a classic Coen brothers comedy and one of Nick Cage’s best performances. Contact is a great Sci-fi tale from a sadly rare perspective.
Rob
2024-06-03 19:06:05 +0000 UTCThere was a time that I would’ve picked contact but not anymore. I don’t know what it is, but that film just doesn’t work for me anymore. I saw raising Arizona years ago and really liked it, but I haven’t even thought about it until I saw this. Singing in the rain would be a fun thing to watch.

2024-06-03 18:22:23 +0000 UTCTough choice. I own copies of Contact and Sunshine, but… it’s been years since I’ve seen Raising Arizona. Really liked it. Don’t know why I never bought it. Might need a reaction to give me a shove.

2024-06-03 18:11:26 +0000 UTC"None of the above". Enjoy them, regardless!
