So what about the opposite? What's your best movie-going experience? What movie completely surprised you or exceeded every expectation you had? What movie are people sick of hearing you recommend?

      @GarrettArt Might sound like a weird random choice, but for me it's About Time. Wife told me it was just some romantic comedy and the time travel stuff caught me totally off guard, and then it swirled me up in all its joy and sadness and LIFE.

        @RegisKillbin I know nothing about this. It’s a time travel movie?!

          @GarrettArt Yeah, don't worry, that's not a spoiler, it's the advertised hook, I just went in clueless. "At the age of 21, Tim discovers he can travel in time and change what happens and has happened in his own life."

            @GarrettArt It's basically a romantic comedy that turns into a bit of a reflection on life all centered around that hook.

              @RegisKillbin @GarrettArt It's a really wonderful movie.

                @Songbird_HS @RegisKillbin Damn this is apparently a sleeper within the HS community. Gonna have to add this to the watch list.

                  @GarrettArt @Songbird_HS I saw you hate Interstellar, so if you're someone who gets hung up on logical consistencies of sci-fi stuff, it's potentially got some holes, I really can't remember. It's more about the emotional exploration than the time travel.

                    @RegisKillbin @Songbird_HS I love most time travel flicks. Definitely don’t get too hung up on the rules. Interstellar was more that it bored me and felt high on itself.

                      @GarrettArt @RegisKillbin @Songbird_HS it's my favorite genre of sci-fi and any movie that takes the rules too seriously usually ends up having just as many problems as breaking all of them

                        @RidiculousHat @RegisKillbin @Songbird_HS Okay, where do you fall in Looper? Cause I love that shit.

                              @GarrettArt @RidiculousHat @RegisKillbin I always think that Looper is Jumper and vice versa. Both good though.

                                @Songbird_HS @RidiculousHat @RegisKillbin I… legitimately thought I was the only person that remembered (and liked) Jumper.

                                  @GarrettArt @Songbird_HS @RegisKillbin jumper is my go-to answer for any icebreaker/party game where people ask "which superpower would you want"

                                    @RidiculousHat @Songbird_HS @RegisKillbin Dude, how do I whiff on so many movie references on TAC but we somehow have the same horribly obscure movie-based answer to that question?

                                      @GarrettArt @Songbird_HS @RegisKillbin it's a lot harder to get references in the middle of a production which you both operate all the dials and have to deal with my razor-sharp wit

I will compartmentalize Niven's funny essay "On the Theory and Practice of Teleportation," where he points out that conservation of energy means teleporting to different latitudes would either throw you through a wall or freeze/boil your body

Obviously it's a different world than ours because it's a world where teleportation super powers exist. But it establishes what the rules of that world are, and sticks to them.

                                          @Celestalon @RidiculousHat @GarrettArt @Songbird_HS @RegisKillbin I love Jumper too! But if I had to pick a lesser known movie super power, I'm going with Nick Cage in Next. That shit has some serious mind bending potential. https://t.co/TVXQIUxJDK

I have several like that. Doesn't matter how often I've seen them or even how recently, it stays on anyway.
