Happy Thursday everyone! It’s almost Easter! It’s almost time for it to be acceptable to stuff our faces with chocolate, wayhey! Did I buy my toddler a chocolate egg? Of course I did. Did I pick her the one that just so happened to be my favourite too? You can bet your ass I did. Chocolate is bad for you, kiddo.
Today’s Thursday Movie Picks theme is Interview. Did I ever mention that I work in recruitment? Well, to be honest, I don’t, I’m a Sales & Marketing Administrator, but I work for a recruitment agency – so the theme is quite relevant for me! It’s a shame most real interviews don’t happen the way they do in the movies, but the consultants I work with have more than a few odd stories to share.
So, this week I’ll be sharing my favourite interview scenes from movies!
Ted (2012)
I don’t think I could even type out what Ted said in his interview for the job at the grocery store it was so obscene, but it’s one of the best bits of the movie! I still can’t believe my brother convinced our mum to watch this movie…
The Imitation Game (2014)
Based on the true story of Alan Turing, The Imitation Game is far from a comedy, but the scene in which Alan is interviewed for the job of cracking the code is deadpan humour at it’s finest!
Nightcrawler (2014)
It is so much easier to get a job in movies! All Rick needed was a driving license, a cell phone, knowledge of LA and the freedom to start the job immediately. I had to laugh when he revealed that he worked as a landscaper until he realised he had hay fever.
I love your last two picks so much! The Imitation Game was a perfect Oscar baity biopic and Nightcrawler was just so creepy.

I really regret not seeing Nightcrawler at the cinema, it’s such an awesomely dark movie!

I’ve wanted to watch Nightcrawler for ages. I remember seeing the trailer at the cinema and it seemed really interesting.

The Imitation Game is such a good movie. It gets tons of hate for being a safe biopic or whatever but it’s a really well done film and the acting is amazing

Now I definitely need to see the Imitation Game–I love B.C.’s deadpan humour:-)

It’s a rare comedic moment in an otherwise very serious movie but definitely worth a watch if you’re a fan of BC!
