Help me find a movie to go see with Scott this weekend. Probably an action flick or maybe a comedy. You know that is all he ever wants to go see. Lucky for him I'm into it too!

No problem, I'm on it. You know, there's lots of good movies out right now, so maybe you could give me a little better idea of what you are looking for? Like a sub genre or something?

Okay..... How about dark comedies? I love those Tarantino films and ones like them. They're like all good movie genres rolled into one. Plenty of violence, dark humor and sarcasm, can actually be scary, unlike horror movies made after like 1990! I want to be sure I won't even be tempted or able to fall asleep!

I hear you- you want a butt clenching, on the edge of your seat style flick.

Precisely. When I walk out I want to be sore from laughing AND from tensing up at the suspenseful or scary parts. I don't want to go away feeling like I missed the end of the movie, but really it was just a stupid ending that wasn't an ending. You know what I mean?

Oh yeah, most definitely. Like they forgot to write the rest of the story or script, and when they realized it they were like, "nah, nobody will notice. Just keep it as is, and then we can push out a really crappy sequel.

That's just what I mean. Thank you so much. If you would, after you find a few possibles, check out what Leonard Maltin has to say about them. I almost always agree with that guys opinions on movies, so that may help too.

I'll do that. Hey, you know Joker is playing and so is that horrible clown movie, IT 2. Do either of those interest you? I know Joker is supposed to be pretty dark, but I haven't seen it yet myself...

Joker is a definite maybe, but if IT 2 was written by Stephen King, and I assume that it was, I don't think I'm interested. Haven't you ever noticed, reading his books or watching one that was made into a move, how he never really seems to finish the book? It is sooooooo frustrating to me, and it's like I was saying earlier about leaving the theater feeling like you either missed the end of the movie or something in the middle to explain why you are feeling so confused at the end.

Now that you mention it, his movies have always left me feeling like there was too much unfinished business or that they were setting up for a sequel. Okay, so Pennywise is out. How about the Zombieland sequel? The first one was pretty cheese, but it was kind of funny, had some decent violence, and that dark humor you so love. And, your dude, Woody Harrelson, is in it too. I know you like him.

Yeah, he's adorable.. That actually may work. Maybe look a little bit more into it and let me know what you come up with about that and the Joker movie. I don't want to end up feeling like I've been sitting in the movie theater for hours and hours watching something that feels endless. I hate having to get up and walk out of movies because I'm so bored.
adorable.

Yeah, I've done it a few times too, but I was relieved to get the hell out. I thought about asking for a refund before, but by the time I actually get up and walk out, I just want to get in my car and drive away! I wonder if they refund you for movies you can't take sitting through the entirety of? They probably don't but who knows? I doubt many people actually try to get a refund. Next time it happens I'm going to find out though.
user
Well, let me know what happens. Movies are too freaking expensive in the first place, let alone having to pay money to be bored or tortured!! The feeling that you just got ripped off horribly is one that I have had one too many times....

I hear ya.. Well, it the Zombieland sequel looks just as cheese as the first, kind of like Army of Darkness style, you know what I'm talking about? Anyways, I also checked out the JOker reviews by regs people and by Maltin, and based on those reviews I would suggest that you go and see Joker if you want some serious weirdness.

Okay, well I trust your opinion, so could you go ahead and hook me up with a couple of tickets to the late showing tomorrow? Preferably at the Alamo Drafthouse Dinner Theater?
