lol yeah I’ve seen way more movies than that at home
If it's a good cinema, Lawrence is worth seeing that way. The cinematography is amazing. No home theater is going to match it. Same for Ben Hur.
Yeah I am waiting for Lawrence to come to a rep theater around here. I was able to see 2001 on 35 mm a couple years ago and that was incredible.
Also -- and this is probably a sad commentary on my attention span -- if I'm sitting down in front of the TV at night I don't really want to watch something for two hours straight. I much prefer to knock off a 30- or 60-minute episode of a TV show
🤷 we don’t buy drinks. Two of us is like $25 with popcorn.
Gotta have my coke icee brother.
I hear ya. I’m really looking forward to my oldest, movie partner turning 21 so we’ll use the upstairs seating with bar.
Some on your list I wouldn't think would be in the theater. I thought Glass Onion was a Netflix only movie. Goodfellas is old. Etc.
Fair. Glass Onion was released for 1 or 2 weeks before hitting Netflix. Goodfellas was screened at a local rep theater as a tribute to Liotta after he passed.
I thought it was great, too.
what's this now?
Felt the same way. Add to it that I’m reading this at 4:13AM EST because I just wake up early now for no reason.
Guardians of the Galaxy III
Same scenario for us. Only crowded theatre was The Way of Water. But that was opening night, in 3-D, to appease my friend. It was a PITA to wear the glasses while wearing a mask.
Look at the list I posted. There are plenty of non super hero movies.
Just looked at your list. The last 3 movies I saw in theatre were 4, 9, and 11 on your list.
How about just the entire experience has made me feel uncomfortable in recent years?
Also, I haven't connected with a lot of movies that have been released plus I'm lazy and can just turn on the big OLED, kick on my surround, pop my beers and relax on my leather couch.
These movies are in the theaters for a couple weeks and then they start streaming immediately, there is almost no wait time or incentive to run to the theaters.
-Last film I tell people I saw is "The Irishman" and I thought it was a damn fine film, was not something I wanted to just stream on Netflix, that was Oct/Nov '19
-My wife had to ruin that story by reminding me that she rooked me into the movies on Christmas that year to watch...wait for it...CATS!
I was fired up to get myself back into the theaters and at least be prepared to go see a movie by one of a handful of directors that i will blindly buy a movie ticket for.
Those directors include one Martin Scorsese who just got a 10 minute standing ovation at Cannes, that film will not be out until October but that is my target if I don't see any of the summer movies.
-The Indiana Jones film looks like a disaster, the advance reviews don't seem to heap praise on it and then i find out Spielberg didn't even direct it, PASS
-A Tarantino release would also have me running into the theaters.
Any chance some of you have not been to a movie theater in a long time? I used to go at least twice a month when i lived in Los Angeles/Santa Monica '00-'08 and saw a lot of great movies at some amazing theaters, new and old when I was in California. In the last 10 years it's hard for me to point at a lot of great movies that I want to re-watch. No Country for Old Men was a movie that I used to like to watch more than once, it's been a while since I've seen it. I find myself watching TCM and they actually will play some 80s movies, I love the 60s and 70s films they tend to run throughout the month.
I don't even know what a ticket cost or a bucket of popcorn, can you get a bucket still?
