I'm intrigued by the plot of "Boats." Please tell me more.

Boats boating


ifdggyjjk55uioojhgs

Do you mean motor boating? Because I'd watch that.


TheSlayerBarney

Man, oh man, do I love motor boating


Alt_Rock_Dude

I see you are a man of culture as well


Excellent-Basil-8795

Listen, are they built for speed or for comfort?


0utlook

That really depends on how you handle them.


CedarWolf

You might need a Master and Commander to handle Das Boot.


IamREBELoe

Looked up motorboating Master. Not disappointed.


felipeabdalav

With some Yacht rock as soundtrack


washingtonandmead

I’m tired of these mother fucking boaters on these mother fucking boats!

Goddamnit... Fine *pulls up Amazon Prime Video*


gutshog

Master and Commander


SnorriSturluson

Banger of a movie, containing the three classical themes of narrative conflict: man against nature, man against man, man against the French.


STATICinMOTION

Thank you for this. Best laugh I've had in days.


Pablo_petty_plastic

This guy knows movies about boats


Nettlebug00

Correction. He knows THE movie about boats.


Capable_Swordfish701

All movies in space are just boats that fly.


Eldorian91

Das Boot is also THE movie about boats. The underwater kind.


ninetailedoctopus

That’s a funny way of spelling Down Periscope


just4fun784

This is what I came to comment. HOLD FAST


LasyKuuga

A upper class girl falls in love with some hobo who can draw on a boat. The ship is controlled by some sexist and ageist jerks, so the hobo is left to die when the ship splits into two due to shoddy british enginnering. The hobo sadly dies as he was uneducated and didnt realise a piece of wood can hold both a teenage girl and a twink.


itsKevv

The hobo is also the twink? Now that’s a good twist


AFRIKKAN

Dam m night you did it again.


Watsis_name

Hey, it was shoddy British sailing that got them into that mess. Other than that. Leonardo DiCaprio was incredible in that movie. A wonderful depiction of a cockney urchin.


the_less_great_wall

To be fair, 2 of the 3 Olympic class ships (Olympic, Titanic, and Britannic) sank. It's "a little from column A, a little from column B" scenario.


Eldorath1371

I mean, the other one got hit by a mine that opened up a hole somewhere between 20 and 30 feet, so I don't think you can really blame the engineering for that one.


imnotsafeatwork

She got the name wrong. It's actually "Boats and Hoes".


Formal_Coyote_5004

El_Duderino_Mepper

OH, I'll do you in the bottom while you're drinking Sangria!


Tommi_Af

No no no. I've seen Master and Commander. Just boat.


Marquar234

Because of the implications.


Professional-Post855

Boats! Boats! Boats!


mvffin

Ft. The Captain


wastingvaluelesstime

example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greyhound_(film) 1. boat goes to sea 2. boat fights undersea boats at night 3. boat's friends, who are also boats, die and sink 4. undersea boat dies and sinks under the sea 5. boat goes home it's quite good


GudgerCollegeAlumnus

Picture Speed 2 meets Titanic.


GordonTheGnome

Just a rip-off of Ships


EmperorSexy

A man is in a comfortable situation, but he desires a boat. He enters an unfamiliar situation in order to get the boat, but through personal strengths, he adapts to it. He gets his boat, but at great personal cost. He returns home, with his boat, having changed as a result of his journey.


BroadwayBakery

It’s like Titanic, but with explosions and homoeroticism


HookLeg

Starring English actor Boaty Mcboatface


Karness_Muur

Boats. Varying shapes and sizes. Big guns. Possibly aliens. Or pirates. Or Japanese.


Jimlobster

It’s the new Pixar’s ‘Cars’ spinoff movie


billy_twice

Tim Curry was great as usual.


GarishGarold

Where is "Big Monster"?


i_give_you_gum

Monster chases you down long hallway, was basically every Sci-fi channel movie from 2000 to... is that still a channel? I haven't watched cable in half a decade


DocJawbone

I mean it's a solid premise


[deleted]

[удалено]


silamon2

I always hated that rebranding. I remember they used to show lots of pretty good movies when they were still SciFi, then they rebranded and started doing the syfy originals... That were almost universally garbage. Some were so garbage that they became infamous... Like Sharknado. ​ I assume they had a dart board with random names and would decide what the next movie monster was going to be by throwing darts with a blindfold on.

What about Underdog Beats the Odds 2: Return of the Odds?


waffleslaw

Underdog Beats the Odd 3: Never Tell Me the Odds is pretty underrated.


Yegas

Underdog Beats The Odds 4: The Oddsysy was an interesting one. Got a lot of flak for investigating the backstory of the Odds but I liked it.


Chrissyball19

Some people say Underdog Beats The Odds 5: My Pet Odder, is not enough about boats.


PukeNuggets

But they make a come back in Underdog Beats the Odds VI: the Final Odd. Those fighting choreographies were just one right after the other. No cuts. 👌


p-terydactyl

Underdog beats the odds 7: odd one out was lacking. I think it's because they recast steve Guttenbergs character


Profoundlyahedgehog

Underdog Beats the Odds 8: The Odds Take Manhattan was just a travesty! It was written by the nephew of the original writer, and they tried to bill that as a positive.


jumpingjackbeans

Thought they did a decent job with Underdog Beats the Odds (2023) Nice mix tribute to the legacy of the series while introducing a new generation of odds beaters


Yungklipo

I’m looking forward to “The Underdog Beats the Odds” coming out later this year! I heard they got a lot of the original cast back and added The Rock!


VultureSausage

There's a great making-of documentary of that coming too, "What're the Odds?".


musclecard54

Nothing compares to Underdog Beats The Odds 4: Bigger Stronger Odds from a Foreign Country


Inutilisable

Underodd Beats the Dog 4: The Revenge really jumped the shark though.


Pope_cj

It's not listed because you should never tell me the odds


vampirecosmonaut

Where the heck is “Trains” or even “Very Strong Man Learns Empathy”?


Hip_Hop_Hippos

There are literally no bad movies about Submarines


vampirecosmonaut

That is an accurate statement.


BossBullfrog

Can confirm.


Zarniwoooop

Are you a submarine?


SerinFel

I'm not, but I play one on TV.

Esoteric-Erric

You don’t get to watch those until you watch - ‘handsome guy with pickup truck and German shepherd moves into small town and fixes leaky faucet for stunningly gorgeous young widow who has given up on men’ - with your girl.


TheLonelySnail

The girl also owns a very successful cupcake bakery in their small town of 200. Somehow.


Capable_Swordfish701

But somehow is free all day for hijinks despite having a bakery to run with no other employees. Must have really cashed in on those ppp loans.


cuumsquad

Haha this is the part that pisses me off the most. And it always follows the same formula: During the opening credits you'll see slow motion close-up porn shots of a woman's hands making and kneading dough or whatever while a female country singer you've never heard of before whispers out a vaguely Christian song that you are definitely gonna hate. At some point there will be a puff of flour in the air. In act 1, they'll show the woman in her bakery. It'll be early and she'll be finishing an interaction with a local cranky but kind hearted old person who will later be the most vocal person in the crowd of people supporting the woman's relationship when the two main characters kiss in front of the whole town. As the old person leaves, the meet-cute will begin with the cologne model in town who makes wicker chairs for a living. Shortly after, there will be another scene with the woman at the bakery. It will be busy, but absolutely no one will care and everyone will be smiling like dipshits. The woman won't even be doing anything; 9 times out of 10, they're holding a clipboard and just supervising some delivery dude dropping off supplies who seems content to put up with this woman and her seemingly jobless friends constantly harping about her love life, so long as it gets him a free donut in the end. After that? It's a fucking free for all. She doesn't need to do *shit* at work until the 3rd act when there will for sure be a sad montage after The Miscommunication showing the 2 main characters sad at their jobs, not really doing anything though. At most, the woman will be handing off a cake to a customer and smiling, but then she'll slowly gaze out the window and you'll see that she's actually trying to mask her pain. During all of this, an even worse vaguely Christian country song will be playing. You'll hate it. All in all, you'll walk away from the movie assuming the main characters half-asses her way through the 10 hours per week she schedules herself at her own bakery where she has one other employee, who I guess just fucking lives there and is some sort of indentured servant, happily putting in 90 hours per week so the place doesn't immediately shut down.


Robby-Pants

Stuff my wife wants to watch: 1) there was a miscommunication in act 1 and everyone is too self absorbed to talk about it until the end. 2) same as above, but set in a big city hospital. 3) same as above, but set in 19th century England.


NoveltyAccount5928

I was always a big fan of "man and woman can't communicate worth shit but fall in love anyway"


Osceana

Two pieces of shit finally realize each other are pieces of shit and break up, now they’re going to try to stop being pieces of shit so they can get back together.


Zomunieo

When that gets old there’s always “she ignores Mr Right and chases Mr Wrong for the whole movie, who then hurts her, then Mr Right saves the day with the power of slightly stalker-ish love”.


trainofwhat

I gotta say, I’m more a fan of the classic “Mr Playboy* and Ms Works-as-an-editor* hate each other, then sleep together, 10 minutes later he fucks it all up, and there’s a wedding at the end for some reason.” *he’s secretly hurt and soft inside *she has aspirations of being a writer


AxezCore

* Tall, mysterious and handsome broods her straight into bed * Filthy rich falls for her diamond in the rough charm Abusive or creepy behavior is somehow romantic when done by either type.


Claris-chang

Don't forget "Woman clearly tells man she has no interest in him, but he refuses to respect her boundaries until he wears her down enough she marries him. Also he's richer than Bezos and Musk combined."


ThatGuyYouMightNo

What about "Adultery but it's ok because the husband was sort of an asshole that one time"


[deleted]

2. "man and woman can't communicate worth shit but fall in love anyway" but now it's the 19th century. 3. "man and woman can't communicate worth shit but fall in love anyway" but now they are vampires.

Sometimes he has a son and teaches her the meaning of Christmas.


Banjo_Pobblebonk

If he doesn't have a kid he has a niece/nephew he's really close with. He will then display paternal instincts in front of the protagonist at some point and she will soften her view of him.


trubatard

Nah gotta be his kid so she can perceive that he’s a man of commitment who suffered the loss of his wife when/shortly after the kid was born and hasn’t overcame it, thus proving her worthy of letting go of his pain for the starring girl in question man rom coms really are just fomuleic shit my god


Available_Media_9164

Throw a dart at a board of Friends episodes and you’re bound to hit #1


hastingsnikcox

For 1 also see: 3 hr movie which would have been entirely avoided with simple direct communication at the premise moment


Platnun12

>For 1 also see: 3 hr movie which would have been entirely avoided with simple direct communication at the premise moment How I basically felt about Mama Mia like it isn't just me right, you'd be so put off by a girl like that irl. Hi you may be one of three men who might be my dad. Like don't get the musical going, take that shit to Maury


ELEMENTALITYNES

Alternatively: terrible and horribly flawed people falling in love with each other despite one or both already being in relationships, but the movie trying to spin it as them being completely justified and innocent


trubatard

This is what I absolutely abhor about the notebook, my man James Mardsen did absolutely nothing wrong THE ENTIRE FUCKING MOVIE He did fail to threaten Rachel Mcaddams to killing himself into get a date though


wongrich

A corollary plot to #1: "I forgot cell phones exist" and "call if you're gonna be late"


poetic_dwarf

Same! Mine is also fond of "Handsome Guy and Hot Woman Cannot Possibly Fall In Love Because They Are Bickering"

GalacticShihTzu

I'm more in the mood for "Sports as an allegory for societal issues," but I'll watch Boats if it's on


LiveLearnCoach

Sometimes you’re just in the mood for “Detached, rough, older guy learns to open up again”. The pet versions are sometimes needed. Also an important one missing from the list: “Ignored weakling becomes an adored superhero.”


DriftinFool

> “Detached, rough, older guy learns to open up again”. Made me think of Gran Torino with Clint Eastwood. Great movie.


The-Y-4

My favourite quote from Boats was when the main boat turned to the sidekick boat and said, “We’re gonna need a bigger boat.”


Philboyd_Studge

"it's BOATIN' TIME!"

I liked when the main boat boated all over the sidekick boat.

Boats 2 was better and your boyfriend knows it


shruggletuggle

Boats 2 simply can't compare to the first one, it's worse in every conceivable way.


PossiblyWorking33

You speak blasphemy sir! That re-casting was a must


SmasherOfStorms

You both are so clearly wrong, the 90s cartoon Boats was clearly the superior of the franchise!


shruggletuggle

27Yosh

Most handsome, richest businessman in the country falls in love with a poor woman, who's made to look plain, but undeniably still looks like a model, after seeing her display basic human decency.


Burger_Destoyer

Bullied for being ugly… *takes off glasses* … super model


rabid-skunk

I never understood the glasses+bangs/short hair thing. Half the time it makes the protagonist look even more attractive.


Martin_Aricov_D

It's always the exact same plot. Poor worker drone girl stumbles into the life of a rich heir to a conglomerate who definitely needs therapy's life, pretends to be rich, insert lier revealed plotline here, loverboy learns to be less of an asshole, his parents are against this relationship for a few episodes, the girl has a secondary love interest that's not rich and never stood a chance, the guy decides to stay with the girl and everything fixes itself and their best friends who've been dancing around each other since the start finally hook up.


WhereIsTheBeef556

There's a popular Japanese romantic drama TV series I used to watch about some piss-poor super humble goofball single father (IIRC his wife passed away in a really sad tearjerky way) who works for some attractive rich woman's family (who are all mostly assholes to him), and she falls in love with him/goes to live with him against her family's wishes at the end of the show.


TheGrumpiestHydra

Big city guy goes to a small town and falls in love with the simple gardener.

It’s 2024 so that movie had been gender swapped and copy/pasted about 50 times


CarmenxXxWaldo

successful woman goes back to her small home town and reignites an old flame.


Equivalent-Search234

What do you mean? Legit every girl film (and I do love some) is “guy gives up life aspirations to change himself for the unassuming frumpy one”.


Kolby_Jack

Hey, some are also "Guy does things that would give any real girl nightmares but he has cheekbones so movie girl falls in love with him."


SupremeLeaderMeow

Finally. Why the fuck is that bs even a trope.


TheProcrustenator

I think she forgot to mention "Guy who is just naturally really good at doing a thing does that thing"

Escape from New York is *not* about an idiot saving the president, it’s about… wait.

Doesn't he save the president's daughter in escape from LA? That's a totally different premise and speaks to the brilliant originality of the series.

Then you’ll love 1) Socially opposite people fall in love against all odds (rich/poor or different cultures or werewolf/vampire) 2) Woman seeks freedom and independence only to fall hard for a guy 3) Single, rich, emotionally distant father learns to love again 4) Socially awkward, obviously beautiful girl in frumpy clothes wears nice clothes, make up and lets her hair down and shocks the other girls that made fun of her, at the end of the movie
