Time to play Streaming Roulette. Each month, to survey new streaming titles we freeze frame the films at random places with the scroll bar and whatever comes up first, that's what we share!

How to Talk to Girls at Parties (2017/18)
We should talk about this movie at some point real soon now that you can all see it. L-O-V-E this entire scene. My favorite in the movie though these screen pulls are random as promised. I want this nominated for Best Original Song though it never shall come to pass...
Please! Get me a drink
The Glass Castle (2017)
It should definitely be more exciting to see Woody tied to bed posts.
But nothing is exciting about this movie, alas... I wonder what went wrong because the director and actors are all talented.
If you could see yourself, you could see that we look stupid!
All I See Is You (2018)
Blake Lively stars in a thriller about a blind woman. I have no idea why the visuals are so weird in this scene. Jason Clarke is shaming her about her joyful dancing at this moment.
I care about you. I really do.
American Gigolo (1980)
I mean you believe that Richard-Gere-at-peak-hotness face, right? He is, after all, a professional actor paid to fake feelings playing a 'professional' paid to fake feelings. But in this scene, we're meant to see them as real ones, if memory serves.
No, let's go into the city!
The Time Machine (2002)
Guy Pearce is a weird lead actor right? LA Confidential excepted, something about him is too weirdly intense for leading roles. And not the star magnetism kind of weirdly intense, like oh Tom Cruise, or somesuch. Remember when this was nominated against Frida for Best Makeup and Hairstyling and they were the only two nominees? When will the Academy ever fix that category and make it like all the others?
-WHORE! LIAR! THIEF!
-YES, YES, YES
Original Sin (2001)
The acting in this scene is very... purple. Sadly, I think this is supposed to be a romantic drama but in this scene Antonio Banderas is slapping, strangling, shaking, and threatening Angelina Jolie with a gun until he shouts "DON'T YOU SEE HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU?" Icky. ick. ick. Cut to: next morning, they wake up serenely in bed. Sexual politics, problematic: code red.
-I understand that you've been flogged
-I feel much better now.
The Elephant Man (1980)
Somehow we've never discussed this movie despite its 8 Oscar nominations.
