Edit : Just to clear up some shit I do have IRL friends its just that moving around coupled with the fact that I don't have Instagram or Snapchat has made me lose a lot of contacts and the ones that are left aren't always available which is quite understandable as we all have our own shit to deal with and sometimes when their free I'm not etc .

There are no respectable chatroom anywhere on the internet that I can find (I have not checked discord which is said to have some but I'm not going to check it and I'm not hopeful as it is the only place I haven't checked yet.).

My interests are just movies and TV, music etc but we can talk about anything . Don't DM if your a creep or some shit .I didn't know where else to post this and hope it is OK I'm just tired of the forum format and wanna have a more connected conversation . That's about it .

Like its not even easy to make friends on Lemmy we just have fun in a thread and move on like each experience or fun we had is in a capsule and can't get out of it . Its true for real life too I guess we meet people become friends and then move on because life gets and then you look back and see they were always temporary and was there because you and they were there at the same place at the same time and was never meant to be . like how 99% of people replying and I will not be in touch when this post becomes 2 days old .

Idk why I wrote the last sentence out maybe because I moved to another state and had some friends in the flat I lived and now that I have moved back (we all split to our own state after the study I was the last one to reach there I only stayed there for two months while there were there for 9 months or so) we have minimal to no contacts .

The internet is full of people, everywhere! They are human, and love to talk about things too, just need to find common ground/connection with them.

What was the last good movie you watched? Why did you like it?

[-] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yes but it is kinda hard to make friend in a place like Lemmy as we just talk under a post and leave . That's why I made a post like this .

Last one was Sicario 2 and it was kind of a let down from 1 . Tho there are some redeeming qualities I wouldn't watch it again or something as it was not at all like sicario imo .

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

That's the thing about social media, it's not actually social. All we do here is entertain eachother a bit by posting stuff, but we will never get to know eachother.

You need real life friends or it all feels very empty. People spend like 10 hours on YouTube watching people they think are great but they will never see who that person actually is.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I do have friends its just that moving around has made me loose so many people coupled with the fact that I don't that I don't have Instagram or Snapchat .

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I haven't seen Sicario 2, i enjoyed 1. Would you recommend it, even if its different from 1?

I do enjoy a good action thriller!

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Hmm its not bad per se but it doesn't have the ruthlessness that sicario 1 had which made it stand out to me . But sure if your just looking for a standard action flick it is one of the better ones .

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

speaking standard action flicks, have you seen Gunpowder Milkshake?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No . That brings backs a memory of me putting it in watchlist and deleting it because the reviews were mid and I had so much I end shit to watch .

But now I may give it another try .

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

i like most movies at some level, even the bad ones. theyre all gradients of art to me..

I appreciated that particular movie because it was lightweight, campy action flick that hit the right notes. i wasnt expecting a lot, but it was entertaining. also, who doesnt have a thing for karen gillian?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Yeah I too sometimes like to watch those kind recent one I remember is boy kills world .

Cycling, working out, reading (haven't read much but I do a little and I do enjoy it ).

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

You need to find a new hobby my friend!

Find a local group for an interest you've wanted to try but never done. Go meet new people and learn new things!

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Why ? I kinda like my current hobbies I try shit from time to time but these are the ones I can enjoy and if I can't enjoy something but just do it to just say I do that, isn't that working without pay ?

Roller skate ? No . whats quads ?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Oh those I have no idea .

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

You want me to DM? Ok hergoes:

You enter a dimly lit cavern and come across a mysterious hooded figure. Without warning he throws back his hood and draws a massive curved sword. Roll for initiative.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Ask for the price and why their so dramatic . I'll buy the sword alright no need for an intro .

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Ask an open ended question about something and stick around in the responses. You don't have to ask and leave, and some people might stick around for a while. All you say here is not just movies and TV, but what do you actually want to talk about? Technology, art, puzzles, gaming, entertainment...

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Idk I'd talk about anything I said movie and TV cause that's the things I use most my spare time on .

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Another reply as a public conversation starter: I find that most modern movies are too formulaic and predictable. What are your suggestions for movies that really aren't?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Nihil sub sole novum

It helps me to focus on the things a movie does right, even if other parts are lackluster. For example the Star Wars sequels were abysmal in terms of dialogue and plot development, but the music and choreography was amazing.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Modern ones ? Probably some A24 ones but they are just so and so and not something I would recommend as must watch or anything but they do tend to get not formulaic . Unpredictable ? I would need some time to think lol.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Saint Maud and Lamb were...interesting. Saint Maud I could actually watch again. Also, The Witch is in my top 10.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Oh yeah The Witch was good I Haven't watched the other two you mentioned .

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

~~I might. Creeping through your comment history doesn't reveal any red flags, so here's the next test:
What's your most controversial opinion?~~

Derp, it's you. We're already in the same matrix chat, lol.

How about we start that public CasualConversation chat I suggested a while back? I was going to take the initiative on that one, but then I... uh.. didn't.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I'm not on matrix.....

Do I have an imposter lol ?

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Nah, but I get names confused easily. I was probably thinking of one of the mods.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Have you got your fill of DMs yet?

Speaking of making a lasting connection, lately I've been thinking about taking up pen pal-ing (I guess we just call that letter writing) again. But I just really like stationary and reading and writing off of paper

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

No I sometimes pull up random games from websites in my phone if I'm utterly bored and have NOTHING to do even then I stop fast and hates playing .

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago
