Is self triggering a thing?
Actually, I'm of the opinion that Three Billboards is somewhat unrealistic (but all of the McDonagh brothers films are a wee bit unrealistic). I don't think it's the stone cold classic people are saying it is (Rockwell's arc especially requires way too much suspension of disbelief. But it's a good movie that I enjoyed while watching.

@jegga I'm not watching that - have you ever spoken with a medical professional over your tendency to self-harm?
Check out the fat shamer everyone.
Seems to me she says she self triggers five times in 22 seconds .

oddly, the movie title tells you what it is about...but is alot of background to why the billboards went up and around them.
Was a good movie, as for suspending belief, I think people take movies far too seriously, isnt that the point of movies/tv (barring doco's or true story ones) a bit of escapism and fiction.
I mean 3 of the top 4 highest grossing movies ever have aliens and super heroes, the other has a real event in it, but the rest is made up...if you add in #5-10 you have Dinosaurs, more super heroes a Wizard and a movie about an FBI guy that helps some boy racers

I agree. When I watch a movie I just let go with that sort of thing. I guess that is why I don't understand why people really pick apaprt movies like star wars etc. I have enjoyed every Star Wars movie at the time I watched it.
What are the 4 top grossing movings?

@hooroo
Avatar, Titanic, Star War - Force Awakens, Avengers Infinity War, Jurassic World, The Avengers, Furious 7, Avengers Age of Ultron, Black Panther, Harry Potter Deathly Hollows Pt 2 -
@taniwharugby For me, it depends on the movie - if it tries to be serious, or even semi serious it's a bit harder to suspend disbelief.
Die Hard is unrealistic as fuck, but it's still pretty grounded - whereas that Die Hardish twattle made with Gerard Butler about the white house tries to be a bit grounded, completely isn't and was almost unwatchable for me. But, people fighting with swords of light and I'm in with a grin.

Yeah that is me as well. It's almost like the rules need to be set and then just be consistent for me to not question it.

Yeah, due to a timing kerfuffle (I was going to Deadpool 2 and it started way earlier than I expected) I saw Skyscraper - now I know going in this wasn't going to be high art, was panned by critics, looked completely unrealistic ... and it was all that, but because I knew all that going in I actually enjoyed the 90 minutes I was in there and didn't mind coughing up the $10 to see it. That was a definite set the rules movie, and the rules were basically anything goes.
Fuck, I've just outed myself as liking Skyscraper.

I think as long as a show/movie is real within its own universe it's ok if that makes sense.
In real life I'm fairly certain Arnie woulda been killed the moment he jumped out of the plane in Commando for example ( this is assuming he survived the car ride and shootout earlier )

The Humanity Bureau! Featuring Nic Cage.
Please take the time to watch this! It is incredibly bad. I’m half way through and can’t stop as I have to see how they end this!

Sorry to quote myself but please PLEASE watch this movie. I don't want to the only person on this planet that has done so!

I'm with @MN5 Fight Club is good, but it's not as good as it is often made out to be.
