we have seen a lot of movies before, but i think this one challenges the very definition of what a movie is in a new way, where it had essentially none of the components that usually make something a movie except for "an audiovisual artifact between 45 and 150 minutes"

It's a hot, summery night. The kind of night that drive-in theaters were made for. Pop the lid off your convertible and light up a mosquito coil, that sort of night.

I'm not planning on driving anywhere though, because begins in an hour! 📽️ 🍿

I've heard castor oil mentioned in several old timey movies and tv shows and I have no clue what it actually is or does

So, random question:

Do you watch on your computer, TV, tablet or what?

I'm watching on my computer and I love the split screen, in tabs, now.
