I want to see a good movie tonight, what are some new ones playing locally?
Disney's Maleficent, The Joker, Zombieland 2, and the Adam's family, are all new and have showings tonight.
That is quite a selection, I really enjoyed the Adam's family show as a kid, but i don't think I'd be interested in watching a movie with the same tone. I also don't want to see the joker, based on the media buzz around it.
Why wouldn't you want to see those?
The Adam's family made me feel happy as a kid. it wasn't so spooky as funny. Campy almost. I'm just not in the mood for that now.
What about the Joker?
I do enjoy a violent movie from time to time. However, with all the mass shootings lately, I think Joker would leave a bad taste in my mouth. I am expecting serious, mindless gore and profanity. It could be fun, but Right now I just want to laugh.
I see, I think I understand. Am I correct in saying you wish to see a comedy?
Yes, well mostly. Not a pure comedy. But I think Zombieland 2 would be perfect. I have been waiting on a sequel for years and loved the original. There is violence and gore, but it is "all in good fun." so to say.
That does seem like a good choice given your options for comedy.
I am pretty sure I will go see that. But there is also the new Rambo movie, and once upon a time in Hollywood, but that is kind of serious.
The Rambo movie would be a violent choice for you, which you said you did not want earlier.
That is true, but it is different than joker. Rambo has a legacy, a cult following almost. It gives a different feeling of nostalgia compared to joker. But you are right, I don't think that is the one for me today.
Once upon a time in Hollywood is also not a comedy, but has gotten good reviews, however is regarded as a serious movie.
You make a good point, I am not sure I can handle or enjoy something too serious right now in a movie.
Then your best option is zombieland 2. Unless you want to see a Disney movie.
I am all set on the Disney movies for now. As a kid I loved them, and occasionally enjoy the nostalgia, but hate the remakes.
In that case let me suggest Zombieland 2 for you tonight.
You are right. I would enjoy it the most, and so would my friend Kevin who may come with. He loves silly zombie movies, and liked the first one too. How are the reviews on it?
The critic reviews are overall good. Better than you expected them to be.
Ok then, it is decided, We'ee going to Zombieland 2. It will make me laugh, and have some funny violence. Nothing too serious and i can feel good for a couple hours. Thanks for the suggestion!
My pleasure.
