Harkins somehow doesn't accept them but I don't know how. My guess is they don't take mastercard but I haven't confirmed this.

There have been roughly no good blockbuster movies this year and August has been loving anemic. I work at a museum with two IMAX theatres and we've just been playing Dunkirk for a month and a half because what the hell else are we going to put in there

Was everyone afraid of opening against/after Dunkirk? What was up with that?

Was there going to be a deluge of horror movies opening in October that the studio thought it couldn't compete with?

Huh, for some reason I hadn't realized how historically bad Labor Day weekend was. Labor Day weekend is where Hollywood movies go to die http://nypost.com/2015/09/04/labor-day-weekend-is-where-hollywood-movies-go-to-die/

I had thought I had read that there are so many draws on attention in October for horror like Halloween parties and the appetite for horror is year round, so they just tend to not prioritize October. Not what I read before, but has interesting breakdown of October horror releases. http://uproxx.com/movies/halloween-movies-october/2/

The Conjuring lawsuit is going ahead to trial. This is the one where a guy claims he owns the rights to the Warren's "files" while WB says that it is based on historical facts. Gerald Brittle has countered with GHOSTS AREN'T REAL.

The Cameo posted:It’s one of the great feats in cinema, to be honest - to take the unstoppable avatar of death from your first movie, and not only make that avatar vulnerable and human, but to turn him into a complete underdog without ever removing the same aspects that made him the unstoppable avatar of death the first time around. He manages to reconstruct one of the great movie baddies and gives him an arc that is reminiscent of Indiana Jones and John McClane, where he always fights from under and where you believe every big chunk of damage he takes could be the one that puts him down for good. It even plays off of your expectations, right there, at the end, when the T-1000 jams the pole through his chest - after all, Terminator 1 ended with Kyle Reese, our thought-to-be hero, dead several minutes before the end. getting to see t2 in a movie theater last week was the best time i've had going to the movies in my life. "i know now why you cry...but it's something i can never do."

T23D was excellent. The 3D was legit good, not necessary but if it got the film into theaters again and not have it be a one night event. It was dope. Movie holds up so well.

Tars Tarkas posted:Last weekend's box office was the worst in 15 years, and the Mayweather vs McGregor fight finished 8th for the weekend, despite being a one-time event. Next weekend might even be worse with no major releases even though it is a holiday weekend. was the mayweather fight supposed to make people interested in boxing again? esp after the dismal mayweather v pacquio

Why the hell did they open Valerian against Dunkirk instead of now? My AMC Dolby is re-showing Baby Driver, which is cool, but drat I wish it was Valarian.

well why not posted:my local is still playing Apes, Dunkirk, Baby Driver, Despicable Me 3 and Spider-Man. Feels like it's been the same lineup forever. The theater I work at has no poo poo had The Big Sick for a solid two months and people keep going to it. It's a really good movie and all, but I would not have expected that one bit. Like, we literally opened 5 movies this weekend and we still have Big Sick. And it's not going anywhere this weekend I'm sure because nothing good is opening, and at the very least if we get rid of something it will be Good Time or Ingrid Goes West because no one is going to see either of those movies. But starting on the 9th we're getting something either interesting or popular every week or so. It comes on the 9th, mother! is the 16th a week after that is Kingsman, then American Made, then Blade Runner, then The Foreigner, then The Snowman, then Suburbicon (i hope this is a wide release). Honestly, September/October probably has a higher number of good-looking wide releases than November/December considering the latter is running entirely on the quartet of Thor/Justice League/Star Wars/Pixar. Everything else looks either sad or underwhelming (Daddy's Home 2? A Bad Moms Christmas? Pitch Perfect 3? That lovely looking Death Wish remake? Bastards, a movie so bad that it got pushed back an entire year?)

To be fair, The Big Sick is an awesome movie and definitely the sort of thing that grows with word of mouth. I don't know if it's been a totally bad year, but I've definitely seen some real duds and there's more stuff coming. Star Wars, you know? Gonna try and make it to the Terminator 2 3D re-release, hope I have time.

Last year I had a list of like 30 favorite movies. This year I have 5, and I'm even iffy about a couple of those being favorites of the year.

I have a bunch of my ticket stubs here and I'm struggling to remember enjoying a movie more than The Big Sick overall. Maybe John Wick 2.

This years been real good, but I've been so selective, I think I can count the movies I've seen on my hands. The worst thing I've seen all year was like...Pirates 5.
