Did anybody watch Bad Day For The Cut on Netflix? I do like a solid revenge flick but I haven't heard anything about it one way or the other.

I see movies in the theater about once a month due to a friend that drags me to them. I'd never go otherwise. I appreciate him for that because I usually have a good time. I can sympathize with the dude who said he never sees movies longer than 2 hours. I really don't want my whole day/evening absorbed by going to the theater. If you see a 3 hour movie, between commute and waiting, it's kind of a commitment. Blade Runner was worth it though.

Just don't drink many fluids before you go and pee before you sit down. If you can't go 3 hours without pissing you might want to get your prostate checked.

Oh well yeah, if we're talking places where you can (legally) drink alcohol then all bets are off. But in the Alamo, at least you can usually hear the film while you piss, so it doesn't really bother me.

They won't do it because it would mean less total screenings for the day Intermissions would sell more concessions but I think they end up selling more by having that 1 extra screening of all-new people

The android Prime app shows a video ad for their own stuff when you open it. You can pretty much just skip past it, but I mean come on. It's like there's a competition to make the biggest piece of poo poo apps and UIs by all the streaming companies. Do they get the Amish to make them and then never use it? You would think the type of person programming these things would tend to be a tech person in general who cordcut before it was popular, how do they not see this poo poo.

A MIRACLE posted:anyone have movie pass? My wife and I have it. I am planning to cancel it soon, but that has nothing to do with the service. It works great (just check in on the app and use the card), and at $10 a month you can't beat it. We have just realized we are no longer the movie going type. On weekends we are in the mountains hiking or doing other stupid outdoor poo poo. I thought that we would go to the movies during the week, but so far that hasn't happen. To be honest we have only seen 2 movies since getting it in August. Still a great service that my younger self would have used every week.

Rough Lobster posted:Agreed but also they should bring back intermissions. Saw the 70mm screening of Hateful Eight, and the intermission was awesome. Gave everyone a chance to piss, grab a beer and discuss the film out in the lobby for a few minutes before heading back in. I would love if every movie over 2 hours did that.

I've been struggling to find 3 things I want to watch each month and we're starting to enter the garbage dump season for theatrical releases so it probably wont get much easier for a while. Still, it's easy enough to break even on your subscription, and if you already see enough movies in a month that you'd save money by getting it, it's a no brainer. I've never had any technical issues with it, and the app is easy to use, only adding one quick step to the process of buying a ticket.

I've been struggling to find 3 things I want to watch each month and we're starting to enter the garbage dump season for theatrical releases so it probably wont get much easier for a while. If your theater-going is based around hit movies and mainstream theatrical releases, then yeah, it's gonna suck. If you have a theater that manages to show more independent films, classics, filmmaker showcases and festivals, then it's much more valuable. If I were to only watch studio movies right now, then I'd have Coco to look forward to, and that's about it. But the past two months have been full of movies to go see, like Phantom Thread, Call Me By Your Name, I, Tonya, The Square, Brimstone & Glory, even stuff like The Post. Not to mention I have screenings of stuff like Wild At Heart and Joan of Arc. My theater sells tickets for $10. One movie a month pays for my MoviePass. The whole idea is to give people an incentive to try a movie they're iffy on without paying out of pocket. It also works with every theater in my city, so my only limitation is my schedule and laziness.

Here in LA movies can be 16 bucks (!!!) for a prime time showing, so one ticket pays for the movie pass. Like the above poster I’ve tried to go see all the critically acclaimed movies in theaters...Phantom Thread, Lady Bird, Shape of Water. Also used it for events like when they screen classic movies at the AMC. I liVE 5 minutes from a big theater so I will sometimes pop over to see a popcorn movie with my wife rather than stay on the couch for Netflix. So works great for us! I hope they cause the movie-going model to change because otherwise I’d never see movies in theaters.

I find the first one fairly gripping because it has a beginning, middle and end, but the rest I'd rather read about on Wikipedia.

I go to the big regal downtown for most blockbuster stuff but I also like Vintage Los Feliz for indies and New Beverly for the old reel to reels and white castle burgers I just got the Moviepass and was pleasantly surprised to find out that it works for all those theaters. The only place I've found here that doesn't accept it is the Arclight chain. On a streaming note, I watched both The Polka King and the original documentary The Man Who Would Be Polka King. I thought the movie was really fun, especially knowing all the crazier poo poo in it was basically true. The documentary made the incredibly strange decision to present the narrator as a jaded middle-aged man drinking alone in an empty bar, sighing and making cheap quips at each turn of events, and it was kind of awful (and tonally strange, especially when interviewees are emotional), but it's also a pretty short watch and the subject matter is super interesting. Maybe worth a watch still if you're interested in seeing how close the Jack Black movie was to the real deal.

I'm getting movie pass asap but it makes sense living in Southern California. I'm like surrounded by theaters of different types. Even during the really low months there's some valid theater with some indie or foreign movie worth a shot.

The Godzilla Anime is extremely front-loaded with bland political drama and character dynamics, and it juggling too much for its own good. Characters are ceremoniously killed off/sacrifice themselves, but it ring hollow because we never get a feel for any of the characters beyond the main two, none of them are introduced or given anything interesting to do. The idea for the new Godzilla is cool and the back half-hour has some fun action, but you gotta slog through a lot of bullshit to get to it.Inspector Hound posted:I believe "farm porn" may already be taken. Lemon-stealing whores!

I was bummed cuz I thought it was Shin Godzilla or even the Cranston one, neither of which I've seen. I'll be glad when I see less of Keir Gilchrist's dopey rear end face crowding my Netflix frontpage. maybe it's mean but I'm sorry dude you're clearly being typecast after being the creepy "nice guy" in It Follows and I'd rather see Dane DeHaan anyway

Both Godzilla's are amazing. I was about halfway through the anime one but it was so lifeless. I switched it to Skull Island since my friend's hasn't seen it yet. Much better.
