Ana de Armas in "Deep Water"

[Andrew NDB]

lol... a whole movie of Ben Affleck getting cuckolded by Ana de Armas? wtf, man...

Interesting looking take on the fatal-relationship trope. I can't get enough of Ana de Armas though so maybe I'll watch this one.

Oh, definitely.

This was filmed before or around when they were together. Didn't expect it to be a Hulu release but since I have the service, I'll give it a watch.

Most people know here as "The Blade Runner 2049 chick".
Check out that movie if you haven't seen it.

Rather unforgettable in that.

If Ana de Armas is in it then I'm watching it. Hopefully she shows her bare tits again. Those are a sight to see.

She's also a beautiful woman. Hard not to have a crush on her.

Haven't seen BR2049 (should really given I love the original) or Knives Out, but she certainly brightened up No Time To Die in that dress for ten minutes, wow

I wouldn't give "Knive's Out" a penny. If you must see it, do it in some manner that doesn't give it a registered click or a dollar. The director is a self-absorbed $#!(bag.

BR 2049 is an absolute - and I say this without grandiose attitude - masterpiece of movie making. In every way. It's truly one of the most beautifully crafted flicks ever put to the screen. The whole movie is amazing and while every character is compelling, Armas' character is this combination of "girl of your dreams" as well as a complete lie and fabrication that the viewer either understands or it glosses over completely.

They don't even really address it head on in the film - and when they do it's in a scene that focuses on Gosling's characters motivations and is easily missed. But if you look carefully the character is not actually the "higher evolution of a computer program into a being that actually loves" trope. It's brilliantly executed.

Watch BR 2049 and pay for it when you do, dude. They deserve every penny for that movie.

Sure sounds awful.

I also laugh at the reviewer's allusion to "functional open relationships". Not a thing. There's just "someone cheating and someone else too cucked-up to leave."

Y'know, that's another questionable thing in media lately. The idea that "It's okay to let someone else f*ck your wife/husband". Not really, no. Pretty much in direct opposition to your wedding vows. But I guess all of that is just "pageantry" and not meant to be taken seriously, if you ask people nowadays. No wonder the divorce rates have skyrocketed to around 70% and climbing.

One always benefits over the other. The guy gets 2 girls or the girls gets 2 guys. But then if the cucked individual wants a second guy/girl, THEN it's a problem.

I mean if people wanna f*ck around, then whatever, just don't get married. You stand in front of a judge or a priest and swear to hold this other person above all others, to "honor" them no matter what, for better or worse and all of that... Call me old-fashioned but that should be more than words.

Both my parents cheated constantly, and both swore the other was "worse" about it. Being a kid in that situation was not fun. All the fights when one of them caught the other one, all the arguments about who was a bigger whore... It directly led to my mother's death, after she got caught in bed with my Dad's friend and my Dad finally threw her out. She moved in with the guy, who was a huge heroin addict, he got HER on the stuff and she was dead in less than a year. I'll never forget when she was packing up to leave, and I asked her "Do you feel good about yourself? You ruined this family", and she looked me right in the eye and said "YES! I can f*ck WHOEVER I WANT, god dammit!" I knew right there she was a lost cause; every priority she had in her life was wrong. All she cared about most were Sex and Drugs, in that order. Like yeah she was an occasional "parent" but she was mostly concerned with getting loaded and f*cking my friends' dads.

My dad wasn't much better, to be honest, but at least he went to work and put food on the damn table. And while I know he cheated, I also heard many fights where he came to her for sex and she "wasn't interested", so I can see where he felt like "Screw it, if you're gonna cheat then I'm gonna cheat."

So yeah, if people wanna be whores, then whatever. Just don't get married. And never, EVER try and raise a kid in that environment. I can attest that coming down for breakfast when you're 5 and catching your mom f*cking your best friend's dad in the kitchen causes serious lifelong mental problems.

Open relationships? I don't think I've ever met anyone who was in one. And before I get called sheltered by some wise guy, my point is, open relationships are a minority and nowhere near the norm. Most people don't get into them and wouldn't if suggested. I mean, isn't that point of a relationship? Having sex with someone exclusively? People get jealous and also don't want to risk getting STDs.

Long distance relationships seme more common and I feel like most fail unless they're like temporary for only a few months.

[Andrew NDB]

I knew and still know a ton of guys and girls (all in a particular Seattle community) that all do the poly thing. Some of them had a good run at that for the better part of 10 years... but every single one of their relationships imploded nastily, eventually. Or they end up with just 1 of the 2. It's only sad when there's kids born in the middle of that stuff.

[Coola Yagami]

I was once propositioned to be part of an open relationship, myself being the third wheel, I guess. I woulda gone for it cause I like the girl involved but it would have involved doing stuff with the guy too. Hard pass. I don't like her that much LOL. I mean, I was heavily flattered cause I'm no Adonis by any means, but like... no.

I had to explain while I make a lot of 'I'm gay/bi' jokes, they're just jokes. I'm straight as an arrow.

Oh and then the time another friend wanted the ol love juice to knock either her or her lesbian lover up and I wouldn't have to do a thing in terms of raising a child. Mostly because at least they knew me rather than gambling on a stranger at one of those clinics or whatever. "It's not like we're asking you to **** one of us" which I would have preferred but neither of them were anyone I'd want anything to do with. Naturally that was a hard no. You just know sooner or later it would have become my responsibility for 18 years. And on top of that, they broke up a month later, maybe sooner if memory serves me. Bullet dodged, Matrix style.

I have weird friends.

Jealousy is hardwired, your partner is "YOUR partner", not "Yours and This Other Person's Partner." Can't last, never does. By and large, MOST relationships fail, even when they're "simple" 1-on-1 relationships. The more people involved, the more shifting personality dynamics, the more jealousy and possessiveness comes into play sooner or later. People get hurt. It's gross. People say "This is what works for us, don't judge!" Okay, but show me ONE time it's ever worked out long-term? You can't, it doesn't ever happen. I'm "Judging" because I can see where this is going and obviously you're too dumb or naive to.

Come to find out even Hef's Bunnies were all drugged and raped and sh*t all the time. All that "We're just a big happy F*ck Family!" was just a show for the cameras. They were in it for the money and coke. But they were not happy.

Not gonna lie, the older I get the more I find people who place too much emphasis on sex kind of disgusting.

Yes, this. You might be able to get away with pretending this isn't the case for a while, maybe a good stint... but the revolutionary in you will die when you lose your own self respect. Every time.

[Leo656]

At some point you're just paying bills and buying clothes for a live-in whore.

"Have a good night, honey! Try not to get any of his cum on that new dress I bought you!"

Like, I'd kill myself.

[Andrew NDB]

Now, I've seen examples of many things. Dudes that "marry" two chicks (as in, they ACTUALLY marry only one, but their lawyer somehow ascribes marital stuff to all 3 people... but there is only ONE wife/husband legally), dudes that have a girlfriend and she has a boyfriend, and so on. My wife has an old Army buddy who married his boyfriend but they have another boyfriend who actually caused them to divorce to then re-marry under certain... stuff. It's all very messy and from what I hear about it it's a nightmare and bizarre.

But yeah, back on point. Whether we're talking about "Arrangements" where a dude and/or a chick is allowed to go off and do whatever or it's more of a committed thing where "we're in a relationship" and it's two dudes and a chick or two chicks and a dude or a dude and a chick and each one has an "other"... the outcome always seems to be the same. Absolutely, there could be 10 years where this works (personally, I can't imagine this happening without crying inside offsetting the times where it's momentarily like "Yeah! I'm getting much better sex right now than her with whoever she's having sex with right now! Plus I'll bang her again later, anyway")... but eventually the pendulum will come.

And it always has. That I've seen. No problem whatsoever with people trying. Just saying what I've seen. More power to you if you try... maybe you'll be the one to make it work. Doubtful, but go ahead. I'd ask not to involve kids if you're doing so but you'll do it anyway...
