Appears to be one screening (7pm), one day, at Regal theaters. I know the industry is dying and all but lol Yeah, there's like ten theaters here showing it all today at 7PM. I switched shifts with a coworker just so I could go see it. Theater was already half sold out surprisingly, but I'm a lunatic who likes sitting up closer to the front.

KaptainKrunk posted:Technically a lot more proficient than Beyond the Black Rainbow, but I'm not sure if I liked it more. It takes itself less seriously, with the humor and camp being much more intentional this time around. Cosmatos is still a rough-around-the-edges director, but you can tell he has made tremendous strides since then. Felt like this could have been quite an excellent 90 minute movie needlessly stretched out to 2 hours. Personally I thought the length was essential, you can't really create that same trance-like tone and ambiance with a more hectic pace. I was seriously drawn in by the film in a very xen way, it was super easy to forget I was in a theater with Mandy.

Three assholes sitting in the front (shows how smart they were, there was like 18 people in the theater) tried to make jokes whenever the movie hit a comic beat, some guy I'm guessing was an RLM fan actually yelled "what a piece of poo poo!" when it ended, starting a shouted conversation over the credits. Just awful. Luckily I had a relatively decent audience. The only lovely moment was a few younger dudes starting to giggle during the Nick Cage losing it in the bathroom scene but that quickly quieted down after people realized it was actually a really emotionally devastating moment that was really well done. The only times people laughed outside of that were at moments that were supposed to be funny. Honestly I expected that kind of bullshit as soon as I saw the trailer and saw that it had Nic Cage, a lot of younger people in particular have this far too modern pop-culture image of Nic Cage since his reputation these days is mostly centered around freakouts and outrageous performances, so plenty of people were probably going into showings of Mandy ready to guffaw at him being a lunatic and not appreciate how great of a performer he can be with the right material and director.

Blast Fantasto posted:"Oh... Cheddar Goblin" - line resting of the year Starless is one of the bleakest songs about depression there is, definitely my favorite on the subject, was an incredible way to set up the film.

It's the bad batch that the LSD chemist fed to them after a falling out, it's hinted at earlier in the film in dialogue, it was meant to gently caress them up.
