*Movie I plan to watch

New Springsteen biopic is apparently about Nebraska. Will watch.

OK, so I was just reading about this. There was a film with similar premise about an awkward girl (the Craig character, basically) trying to "fit in." Can anyone remind me what this was called? IIRC it was a non-english film. Friendship seriously sounds like a masculine remake of the one I'm looking for years. I don't like Paul Rudd nor Craig Robinson, so I'll be skipping that one.

Tim Robinson.

Both are excellent in this movie, but if you don't like them you would hate this movie.

As someone who knows a little bit about L. Ron Hubbard's life I was already engaged with this story to some degree. However I really wish he'd just made a film about Hubbard, Jack Parsons, and Sara Northrup Hollister because it's such a wild tale from a period and setting that is usually depicted as very white, conservative, and Christian.

(My pick of that period of PTA films is The Phantom Thread, which is just wonderful in every department and has a very dry sense of humour)

I'm very interested in the above film.

My favorite take on that one went something like: "Finally, Danielle Day Lewis as Jeremy Irons"

My partner was watching this recently and I walked in when there was roughly 10 minutes left of the movie. I saw enough and I bet I can tell you everything that happened prior to that point. Pass.

I like Tim Robinson in Detroiters and ITYSL, but that character cannot carry a movie.

Same same, just got to it tonight. Utter masterpiece.

I thought Friendship was great, but I cannot imagine they saw a script before greenlighting it
