Confirmed Bachelor Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Anyone heard of the movie The Lobster? Here's a description: In a dystopian near future, single people, according to the laws of The City, are taken to The Hotel, where they are obliged to find a romantic partner in forty-five days or are transformed into beasts and sent off into The Woods.

Equinox Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 That sounds positively horrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyFenton123 Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Nope. I'd be in The Woods before you could say 'partner' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Phoenix Ace Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 So it's either life imprisonment in a romantic relationship, or become a super cool awesome powerful monster? I think that's an easy choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mezzo Forte Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 Why would you piss people off by transforming them into something that could maul you? Points for novelty, but unless these characters are becoming bunnies that never watched a certain Monty Python flick, I'm pretty sure the entire premise risks becoming a plothole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apathetic Echidna Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Has anyone seen it? I heard about it only recently and I am interested. If I find it at the local Blockbuster (yes, Australia still has some....assuming it hasn't gone in the last 3 months) I will watch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apathetic Echidna Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 @Skittles87 yes it still exists! I have proof and this is going to happen! Blockbusterrrrrrr Update: watched the movie. Wow. There were some funny moments and some weird moment and some uncomfortable moments. I would not call this a comedy, or even a romantic comedy. Forced partnering up goes to blanket no affection or partnering up are the two violent extremes this movie swings between. Everyone seems fairly emotionless or awkward. There is no friendships or friend and there is so much couples-are-best conditioning watching it was slightly horrifying......though not as horrifying as The 5th Wave < that movie is like an aromantic hate letter!
