Is there an actual way of looking up what theater chains accept Movie Pass without signing up for their service?

To my knowledge, no. This website is better than nothing but I've heard it doesn't work for some zip codes and has a few other issues.

this is not what I wanted
That's the other one, none of Rogue One's leads have even half that charisma. It's an okay movie but skippable if you're not super into Star Wars I think

yeah that's the problem. I don't really care about any of the characters, the story is she's probably a jedi or whatever. also that funny robot shoe-in.

The best thing about Rogue One is that there are no Jedi (except Vader) in the whole film.

He can't use the force, just has a deeper connection to it. So no throwing poo poo with his mind, just listening to the force bitch about life and how nobody understands it.

But then he can take out like 20 Stormtroopers singlehandedly, so, like, why were we even bothering with the Jedi thing in the first place?

Because he knew king fu and was able to disarm the troopers since he was a blind dude so he was able to catch them unaware.Captain minigun was the only reason he survived the reinforcements with more guns after they realized they are dealing with Donnie loving Yen

Yeah. He was more effective than we've seen Luke or most other Jedi be. Rogue One was great but having a Jedi in by pretending he's not a Jedi was a cheap and silly move.

It's pedantic, but being a Force user doesn't necessarily mean he is a Jedi. Not all Force users are Jedi, but all Jedi are Force users.

Not to be pedantic but just because you believe in the Force doesn't mean you're a "Force user". Something else is going on there.

Pretty much. Being able to be in tune with the force and listen to it is not the same as being able to manipulate it directly like the Jedi can.

I actually can't get that to work, but at least they're trying! I got an email from them today saying they're swamped with orders, so my card should be coming in, like, September, rather than yesterday, which is when it was supposed to come.

You mean Like Skywalker? The guy told he was going to be trained to be a Jedi? as opposed to the guy that point blank said "I can't use the force just sence it"?

Like someone else said, it's just a way to have a Jedi in a movie where no Jedi could be.

Taking the term "Koopaling" to a whole new level since 2016.
This isn't about movies, but movie theaters; I saw in the Greenlit thread that theaters don't have anyone in the projection booth anymore, so I was wondering, does the theater just get a DVD of the movie they're showing and just throw it in? Do they do test screenings of those movies? Afterward, do they ship their theater copy back to wherever it came from, or are they destroyed?

Close. They get a hard drive in a box.

More.

Many movies are now directly streamed to theaters over the Internet.
