    Yes. I tried to watch Whiplash, but just couldn't lol. I didn't make it past where the main character gets into the new band, and one overweight dude gets fired because he didn't know if he was out of tune or not.

    I just couldn't relate to anything in this movie: i can't stand people like the old bald psychopath, and I am not an "artsy person"

    I also watched "No country for old men". This one is actually very good movie, pretty dark imho, but I liked it! It's refreshing to see "bad guys win", instead of the usual sugar-coated scenario when the Good beats the Evil lol

    Was planning to watch the other one you suggested soon

    Hey I’m glad you actually took my recommendations.

    Totally get that with Whiplash it’s a tough watch. Funnily I’m not that artsy myself I was more drawn to both Fletcher and Miles as I found them fascinating but understandable that it’s not for everybody.

    Yeah I get what you mean about No Country for Old Men and how it’s not your typical the “the bad guy always wins” cliche; frankly to suggest that’s indicative of real life is kinda insulting from Hollywood lol.

    Awesome. I hope I can make it 2/3 in my favour with There Will Be Blood.

    Whilst I’m here I saw Warfare recently and thought it was amazing. Basically super realistic to war and less Hollywood. Not graphic realism so much, although a little gore, but more the mundane side of war and the complete chaos. Really fascinating.

    Watched Warfare yesterday. Agreed, very down to earth, and very unlike Hollywood. It was a good movie. I didn't understand wtf was even their mission, it looked like they chosen a random house and made that their strongpoint lol

    Maybe i missed the plot, not a native English speaker

    Kinda gore indeed, my gf appeared behind me exactly when screen was all shredded legs, by her look she was wondering if i am alright
