I'm waiting for the day when movie releases come out for streaming immediately

Where have you been, dude? That started during Covid and has continued.

Either they are released simultaneously or after a few weeks. It's more of the former than the latter, lately.

Never was into comic magazines. So I frankly don't have an interest in any of the movies. My kids like Deadpool because of the swearing. That doesn't bother me as the school never calls me and they don't swear in front of me. Good kids.

Alien and horror type films I find comedic and am laughing most the time. I'm a sick fucker I guess. When you know it's fake, especially bad fake, it's hysterical to me. On par with comedy. It's the drama and romantic type movies I just walk away and unload a copious amount of vomit. Not really, but I can't stand that shit.

There are a few good dramas. No Country For Old Men. Javier is good in that. I actually don't know what you'd call that movie type wise really. Daniel Day Lewis is overhyped in my opinion. I'm just more of a comedy guy even if it's bad. Sometimes fun bad is better than serious movies that suck.

Well there's no new movies compared to the past. Or they're failing miserably at marketing them. I haven't see shit come out in theaters and streaming the same day. I'm not actively looking either. Between covid and the strike the content went away or to streaming services I'm not paying for. So my blinders are on.

I watched Gladiator 2 with my son.
It was entertaining, if not spectacular. The plot was a bit thin, but I guess it worked. The visuals were amazing.

Just watched the trailer. I don't get Denzel being in it. I'm an audio guy and at least the trailer was too modern sounding. Didn't feel epic at all. I'll eventually watch it. Not saying your take is bad having not watched it, but it's kind of the reason for this thread. 1-10 or A-F how would you grade it?

Also with it coming out in November I never even heard of it. More evidence of a dying movie industry in my opinion. No one even mentioned in passing saying did you hear about the new Gladiator movie? Thanksgiving and 2 xmas parties. Hollywood is dead.

I haven't been to big screen movie for many years. I do love them when I go, but with whatever, just haven't been. When my wife was working and I had an afternoon off, I would sneak to the IMAX for a show. They're really expensive now, and I have a 120 inch home theater with high end sound, so less incentive.

Sometimes movies seem to inspire the globalists:

I just watched this again over the weekend. These Hollywood types were connected - they knew what was up. The Matrix, Fight Club, V for Vendetta, 7even, etc. These were metaphors, and if you believe the morality of satanists, they must tell you what they're going to do, and if you do nothing or agree with it, then you deserve what's coming.

Watched this in 3D at the theater.

It certainly was better compared to recent ones. More like the original. They kept it to the basics. Only shitty part was the Rancorsaurus that Spielberg obviously included as an homage to Star Wars. It was the crappiest JP/JW dino ever. Fortunately, it mostly was shown in the very end.

I think the second Jurassic world…the one where the volcano was erupting…was the last movie the wife and I saw in a theatre. That one or the last Star Wars movie. I’ve been to a movie at a a movie theatre less than a handful of times in the past decade.

I don't know how they stay open? Young kids and young adults? I don't know anyone that goes to the theater for a movie. I have one in my basement and can wait for food I cook, drinks, beer, etc. There's only one theater I'd go to within 30 minutes of where I live. Nope. Hour round trip can kiss my ass. I'll wait.

Yeah pretty sure it’s mostly teens and young adults. My stepdaughter is mid 20’s and still goes.

I’d rather fart in the peace of my own home.

Lol. I actually like farting in public if I can keep it silent but deadly. Planes are the best. My worst was Birmingham, AL to Atlanta. 16 minute flight on a tiny regional jet. The reaction from people was hysterical because it smelled awful. Everyone turning their heads looking around and putting their shirt over their nose.

When I travel the farts can be ripe because of going out to eat and food I'm not used to. I think about a 32 pax jet. Had the row to myself and I laid down laughing. About 10 minutes of hell for everyone as I'm laying down cracking up. Thanks for the memory trigger. I forgot about it. I'm laughing my ass off now.

I watched the old Alfred Hitchcock movie"The Birds" out of nostalgia. I see it now as a parable of the Demiurge infecting the birds with archons in order to torture and kill humanity. Our archons have been released through portals by the Vatican and the 666 Hadron Collider, and acting through the parasitic, demonic bloodlines to kill 95 percent of the population. There seem to be a lot more of them demanding blood and suffering than in the past.

Thanks, Trump, fuck me, I really needed that education, barf.

I still like going out to the movies once in a while, especially IMAX. Maybe see 3-4 movies in a theater a year.

I love pigging out on a big bucket of unhealthy movie theater popcorn and drinking a big soda. Also, it is super easy to buy tickets on the app and choose seats.

339 DAYS UNTIL ‘SUPERGIRL’



Or should it be called, SUPERKAMALA?

The last movie I wanted to see in theaters was Apollo 11. Of course, no big screen showings (some of the footage was scanned at 16K resolution - the really big 8-perf 70 mm negatives). I bought the blu-ray instead and played it on my projection system instead.

I highly recommend this movie - an outstanding documentary. They used footage that was originally supposed to be part of a 70mm feature, but it got shelved and sat in NASA vaults for 50 years. What is more extraordinary is that they found the original mission control and capsule audio, spent about a year piecing it back together into a linear audio track, and synced it to the film footage.

Very good article.

The last one I saw in a theater was Titanic. Coincidentally I bought the first big ass TV the next week. It was so big it came with rollers and was hand delivered

Sounds right for the time. As Stereo above says projection screen in home is the way to go if you have patience to wait for non-theater release. I can do that. I honestly don't know how movie theaters stay in business.

Not that it breaks the bank, but I'm looking at $10 in gas, wear and tear, ticket that's probably $12 for a afternoon film, a drink and some popcorn for $20. I'd rather just pay $20-30 and watch it in the comfort of my own home. I'd pay more to get it right away if it was a movie I was interested in.
