Me and my family drove 100km each way to attend a midnight screening of Rise of Skywalker, on a night where I had to go to work the next day at 5.30am, and honestly I've never spent so much effort on something so incredibly disappointing and infuriating

Films I saw theatrically this year: - Cats (2019) - Hard Ticket to Hawaii (1987) - The Gentlemen (2020) - The Rhythm Section (2020) - Cats (2019) - 1917 (2019) - Birds of Prey (2020) - Destruction Babies (2016) - My First Film (2018-2020) A lot of audience participation films, actually. I saw Cats on Christmas day in a near empty theater but went again in January with friends only to be surprised to find it sold out with a rambunctious crowd. I saw it a third time in February at a nearly sold out, 400-seat theater as a midnight showing with full on audience participation. I also caught Hard Ticket to Hawaii as part of a "Trash Night" audience participation screening and capped it off with My First Film, which is a much more serious multimedia/personal experience. Destruction Babies I saw with the director in person for a Q&A. Birds of Prey was just a normal screening but was actually fun. 1917 was fine and The Gentlemen and The Rhythm Section both suck.

I'd have to go check my credit statement to see which one was last, but it's either Parasite or Color Out of Space. Both were worth the price of admission.

Saw E.T. at the drive-in last week, haven't seen it since I was six and it was still great. Unfortunately I wasn't feeling great and had to skip out out Close Encounters, which really annoyed me because I keep missing opportunities to catch that on the big screen, but c'est la vie. The local drive-in is now open every day and showing double bills of classic movies, mostly from the late 60s-early 90s, and certainly making money hand-over-fist in the process. Revenge of the Drive-In, 2020 keepin' it interesting.

I'm jealous. There's 3 or 4 drive ins with an hour of me but they're all showing stuff released right before the pandemic or hit VOD during it. edit: Do you know if these are film prints, digital prints, or are they just sticking an ET Blu-ray in a disc player?

Raffi going full Antifa and drive-ins coming back in the year of our lord 2020 are two tangents I can really get behind in this hellscape.

They're probably digital prints, unless their projectionist was really good at cutting the ad/trailer/DVD feeds in without the menus showing. At the very least it wasn't the dumb walkie-talkies edit. They're changing the lineup every week too, this week it's Raiders/Temple on screen one and BTTF 1/2 on screen two. If you ask me the second one should be 2/3, but maybe this is a clever plan to run both third entries on the same screen next week and get all the money.

Made it to three films this year. Weathering With You: Like 5 people in the theater. One guy sat right next to me and my fiance (again, there are like 5 people in the theater) and tried to talk to anyone who would listen about Digimon, and then before the movie started he got into an argument with an usher about why the only swag you got for going was a small poster. Parasite: Literally no one else in the theater. I suppose it would've been a good one to end on, but Bird of Prey And The Rest Of The Title: Saw it right after release, but it was fairly empty. During the trailers a very large gentleman laughed so hard at the car swinging in the Fast & Furious trailer that he started hyperventilating, left the theater, and never returned. I suppose it was his final film in a theater either way. Saint Freak fucked around with this message at 20:05 on Jun 10, 2020 |

He's not plain awful like the Andrew Garfield one, but I can't identify him as the character at all. He's this nervous dweeb who idolizes a corporate fucklord and has access to incredibly advanced technology, it's so alien to me. He's supposed to be an angry loner living in a crappy apartment trying to do the right thing, not the heir apparent to loving Iron Man and in charge of the biggest guns in the entire world. More like PMC man. Lurdiak fucked around with this message at 05:14 on Jun 13, 2020 |

I like the current Spider-Man actor for sure, but his movies have been less than memorable for me. I also don’t like the whole “Iron Boy” thing because I think it detracts from the appeal of his character being a nerd that has to get by on his own cleverness. However, that scene in Far From Home where Mysterio clowns on Spidey with a bunch of illusions was really badass. I just think it’s funny that even his rogues gallery so far is “disgruntled with tony stark” guys.

JROTC Spiderman is a little fuckwad.
