Somebody asked if I watched “One Battle Too Many.” I almost never watch movies. All I ever watch is Matt Walsh and an occasional true crime documentary on Netflix. And then, I don’t really watch them. I listen and almost never look at the screen.
With movies, I just can’t process visual images the way I process words. Most actors look the same to me. I get viciously bored having to stare at a screen. N is responsible for Klara’s movie education, and together they have watched every American children’s classic. But I’m useless movie-wise, and I freely admit this.
I love old Soviet movies but my father was there when I watched them and he explained them to me. By myself, I’m impotent.
Is it a good movie? Has anybody on here watched it?

I made zero sense of The Departed (2006), in large part because I really did not know how to distinguish the faces of Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio. The storyline was hopelessly confusing, with one of them from a crime family pretending to be a renegade to join the police, and the other a police going undercover to infiltrate the mob. Then that turned out to be not quite true. I think people were able to follow it by knowing those two lead actors from each other and explaining the plot in terms of “Damon says he is this and then DiCaprio detects his pretense by that reason” — but I couldn’t do it.

God, these two guys are so identical. This happens to me a lot. I keep thinking, why is this character so upset? Then it turns out the guy his wife is sleeping with is another actor. Which I never grokked on. Frustrating.

This sounds like the plot of Face/Off.
