Josh Lyman posted:Am I crazy for thinking about reactivating my AMC A-List? I have a theater 2 blocks away. Unfortunately, the release schedule looks uncertain after July, but it's just a 3 month commitment anyway. I don't use A-List but I have a local regional chain with a similar program for pretty much the same cost as AMC's and I get a lot of value out of it. Way I see it is, if I use it 2-3 times a month then I have saved money and anything more than that is icing on the cake. Feels like it'd be worth it for all those movies there! Personally I get a lot of value out of it since it has made me more flexible about just going out and seeing any 'ol movie after work instead of worrying about whether or not it's "worth" it.

Yeah, I did one of these years ago and it got me seeing some gems I wouldn’t have seen otherwise (plus some crap but them’s the breaks)

Gripweed posted:My 31st movie of 2022 was Who Are You, Polly Magoo. It's basically the spiritual predecessor to Irma Vep; A beautiful young woman moves to France for her career only to discover that literally all French people are depraved freaks. Why do I get the feeling this should be a tired stereotype but French people would just go 'Oui, we are'

Everything, Everywhere, All At Once is better than you expect it to be. I am well aware of what people in this forum expect from it. It is still better than that.

Like the fight itself is already a wonderfully ridiculous piece of Jackie Chan martial arts, but it was so perfectly set up with jokes that hit fully on their own: (1) We're introduced to the trophy with Deirdre showing off her three auditor of the month awards (2) We get the scene of the alpha jumpers doing weird poo poo to connect with their alt-selves before storming Evelen in the boss's sex room We're even primed for the trophy up the butt by the eventual trophy fight guy photocopying his butt in that scene. And of course, at the end, we get an even bigger punchline of the shot, from below, of the other guy jumping split-legged and pantsless over the fight and onto the trophy.

The definitive vampire is literally a sexually predatory aristocrat and landowner who casually eats the poor.

Eva rebuilds are awesome but need the context of the original. RahXephon is cool though watch it too. I got immense satisfaction, peace and happiness out of the EVA Rebuild finale.

So many incredible payoffs.

Gaius Marius posted:Endings the best part my dude. At the end we're told that Ayato's trauma isn't really real, and that he just needs to man up and start slapping his women around if they're giving him trouble. Quon, the one woman who's character arc doesn't revolve around a man, decides after spending the past dozen or so episodes learning to assert herself and take control over her life that what she really wants to do is submit to Ayato. They use the power of god and anime to create a new world were everyone is paired up and they're all happily making children. Episodes 10-19 are absolute fire and if the show ended then I'd happy call it one of the very best of it's era, but the ending super sucks.

Sucking Marvel’s fumes between proper Disney releases. The Sony films seem like the major-studio version of what The Asylum used to do with Transmorphers and Sunday School Musical, or maybe what Filmation did with the Ghostbusters cartoon with the gorilla.
