I'm looking to see a movie tonight. Do you have any recommendations or thoughts?
Absolutely, I love movies. What sort of thing are you looking to see? Something dark and spooky, or light and romantic?
Rom-coms are boring to me. I love scary movies, I really enjoy the feeling of being spooked and surprised by something in a film.
I've seen a couple of good choices along those lines lately. The Joker sounds like it might be a good fit for what you're looking for, though if your kids are coming with you maybe you could see the Addams Family, it's a cartoon. Zombieland and Maleficent might be spooky and surprising without being too scary or gory.
Those are all really good ideas. My kids won't be joining so I'm deciding between The Joker and Maleficent.
I've seen them both and they've got two very different feels.
I love a film with amazing acting, something that showcases the actors' true talent.
I think both films fit that bill, there are very talented actors in both. Though, there's some Oscar buzz about The Joker.
You're right, I've heard good things about it. What did you like?
It was intense and thrilling.
That sounds perfect for me. I've seen a lot of other movies exploring the backstories of these sorts of characters and I really enjoy it.
This one does an amazing job of giving an unlikeable villain an understandable backstory.
That kind of thought about the character's backstory makes a movie in the superhero universe so much more watchable.
I agree. I loved The Dark Knight for the same reasons, we got to see Batman's origins and why he psychologically might behave the way he does. Well, it sounds like you found a good choice!
Absolutely, I can't wait to see it, especially around this time of year.
Enjoy it and let me know what you think!
