Make good movies.
The boy and the Heron, in a small local theatre
Poor Little Things in the theater
What did you think of the movie? Did you enjoy your viewing? Was it unique enough?
It’s very strange, but pretty good IMO; As long as you’re not squeamish or prude it’s worth a watch.
Market it properly. I’ll watch. The way they marketed movies like Transformers One, or the utter failure that was The Fall Guy, I can’t even fathom why they would choose to market it that way…
People also want to see more after season 1 instead of cancelation and some new junk pushed in their face.
We also need to tackle the monopoly on theater screen time that the big studios control.
It’s unusual, but it was a little-known Russian movie from which I didn’t expect much, but in the end I liked it. It was Lord of the Wind (2023). Although I usually don’t like modern movies lately. It is about Fyodor Konyukhov is a Russian survivalist, voyager, aerial and marine explorer and his round-the-world balloon flight. Unfortunately, I don’t know if it is available in English.
Does Wicked Count? If not then that weird piece of shit Nicolas Cage was involved in last year. Really cool concept until it became an out of touch rant about “woke cancel culture” or some shit.
Oh man, yes. Dream Scenario. It went so very awry when it became clear what it’s actually about.
Not the last original, but I caught “Her” with my SO in the cinema on a lark, just to pass the time. And we loved every bit of that film. So original in so many ways.
The last movie I saw in theaters was Interstellar… just pulled up the release date, and holy shit, it’s been a solid decade.
…not really feeling the urge to change that either. All I remember theaters being is a sticky fucking mess where a bag of skittles and a drink will cost you like 5% of your net worth; from there you pack into these disgusting seats, invariably right behind some 6’11" 400lb dude in a fucking cowboy hat and, surrounded on all sides by people who have never heard of the concept of shutting the fuck up for 90 mins…
That’s why you find one that isn’t in prime time like an AMC with recliner seats. Usually at the matinee, there is like one of two other people and you and your party get almost the whole theatre. And I sneak in McChickens in my hoodie. Usually have someone with a purse with you. Most theatres around me don’t check. Put the drinks and snacks in there from the dollar store. But yes the floors still get sticky, lol. The security only really cares if you’ve got your phone out or are pointing it like you are filming.
I have not been in a packed theater since Avengers Endgame. I have been to the theater dozens of times since then. Don’t go opening night or maybe even opening weekend. Most ticket sales at my AMC and Regal are prepurchased with assigned seats, so you can see what’s open and not blocked. You can move around anyway once inside. And all my local ones rebuilt the floor for a greater slope anyway
Invalid. It’s a comedy about a man in a wheelchair who fights local city mafia
I bought a “mystery ticket” for $5 at a Regal and ended up seeing The Order. Pretty intense at times when you abstract to real life, pretty upsetting at times. Remember to be intolerant of the intolerant.
Is that the one with heath ledger?
No, this was Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult and it was released this year
Nimona. Definitely watched it legally on Netflix.
I watched The Substance via streaming alone on my birthday night because my wife and partner aren’t into body horror. I loved it! It was really good. Definitely one of the better movies I’ve seen this year.
Collateral. What a fucking gem of a movie.
