Hey! It turns out I have seen that #movie Moon ...

But my brain decided to destroy all evidence of my viewing as soon as it happened so I'd entirely forgotten all about it.

I kinda remember the scary twist part ... You know, the point of the movie part ... but I don't remember how it ends.

It's just a guy living with an emoji-bot

@lydiaconwell I assume you didn't quite enjoy it and, thus, that you have to watch it again, this time correctly.

@josemanuel I can't quite remember ... But I think I thought it was a bit obvious. Like I knew what it was going to do.

I think it was OK though. But I didn't love it for sure.

@lydiaconwell I wouldn't say it was obvious, but it wasn't a big surprise, either. I remember enjoying the fact that, even though I knew what he was trying to do in advance, I didn't know how exactly or even if he would manage to pull it off.

Now that I think about it, that's something I enjoy that other people may not: I don't mind knowing what's meant to happen in a story. I enjoy the struggle more than the twist.

@josemanuel Yes, knowing what happens isn't a problem when the films good -- that's why you watch films again.

Also the language of cinema often 'tells' you what's going to happen, like you're supposed to guess. Or whether you guess or not, it doesn't matter.

The bad movies in my opinion are the M Night Shyamalan types where the twist is the point and once you know, why would you want to see it again?
