Last time I went (which was a while ago, at least a year know) tickets were like a tenner a piece, maybe a touch more, went the other week and its like 6 quid a ticket. Fuck, I'm gonna start going more often if thats the case regularly and it weren't just some sorta one off thing. Checked though and its the same today too. Movies cost about $10 here in Dallas. Maybe $9.50 for kids and seniors. Not including what snacks you get. I have a Regal card and most times I get a free drink or pop corn or sometimes a free ticket. Either way, it cost big bucks to see a movie these days. On 12/9/2018 at 12:32 PM, Sosso said: I haven't watched the first Fantastic Beasts film yet to be honest, but the sequel was great. I'm glad that J. K. Rowling writes the screenplays for this series of spin-offs, because Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was garbabe. Well, I'll probably either buy the dvd or wait until HBO gets it. I saw the first one on HBO and was pleasantly surprised how good it was.

soon Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 Movie tickets are on the expensive side here. Mostly because the theatre in my neighbourhood keeps adding VIP and Gourmet and Fancy Seats upgrades. They barely offer a 'basic' ticket anymore. And the add ons are all just one dollar more. So why not pay a buck extra for 3D, but if your doing that then why not $2 more for DBS, but if doing that why not go for IMAX, etc, etc. You can literally pay extra for the ability to arrive early to the theatre, take your fancy chair, order some bullshit "gourmet" meal, it gets delivered to you in the theatre. Then you finish it before the movie and order a beer. An you'd still have the option to upgrade from there for 3D, IMAX, DBS Sound. You pay for an upgrade to VIP just to have the ability to buy their over pried 'gastro pub' food. And eat it while staring at a blank screen.

dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Traffik with Omar Epps and Paula Patton I give it a 4/5. The movie is not a true story, but the subject matter definitely is. Made me sad and angry. On 12/14/2018 at 11:28 AM, Len Cnut said: Sondra Locke has died. Sad. She was married to Clint Eastwood years ago. She wrote an auto-biography saying Clint ruined her career. I know she was in some movies with him. She was 74. Clint is still going strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselDaisy Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Cross of Iron (1977) Sam Peckinpah's anti-war masterpiece. Breakthrough (1979 film) B-movie sequel to the above and most definitely not a masterpiece. All the characters are played by different actors, a bored looking Richard Burton replacing James Coburn in the Steiner role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My knowledge of the case is patchy but I think she was married to some gay guy, who she never divorced, then ended up living with Clint but was his wife due to like, I dunno, some kinda common law thing California has. They got divorced and it was like one of the first of the big divorce settlement thingies and Eastwood basically set up this thing where he'd like...bankroll her directing on some level if she didn't take some huge settlement but it turned out he actually conspired with the studios to freeze her out.

Thats my understanding too, but with him ‘encouraging’ her to get at least two abortions because he didn’t want anymore kids...while he fathered at least two kids with other women while they were together. He is apparently a total cunt to be in a relationship with but she seems to have copped the worst of him.

Yeah i was reading her obit in the Telegraph thinking wow, shes fallen off the perch and her entire obituary is basically about Clint, even in death she’s defined by the cunt and they divorced nigh on half a century ago. I disagree that she would’ve been unheard of without Clint, she was in Heart in a Lonely Hunter, copped a nomination before she even met Clint, artistically speaking meeting him was a kinda crap career move, though it may have been financially rewarding early doors.

soon Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Hmmmm...How does one discuss The Phantom Menace? lol Well on the positive side, in the original trilogy there was only one Princess Leia but in Phantom theres an entire gaggle of Queen Amidala's. And lots of the high tech film craft is really cool and still holds up. On the negative side, Jedis were so fucked at that point that Ani is taken away from his Mother in short order and with out much discussion because it served the Jedis interests. Seriously creepy stuff. That plus all the low energy Senate and Jedi Council discussions interspersed with high energy race scenes and other 'made for the video games' vehicle sequences. Its jarring. Also, what the fuck is going on with the Yoda puppet in this Episode!?!?!?!?! All that said, Im into it. The Prequels have imprinted onto so much of the Star Wars imagery, themes and force-uses since that they seem more and more familiar and natural with each viewing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but my personal favourite is still Der Untergang. Bruno Ganz played his role as Hitler a little bit to well, if you ask me.

cineater Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Went to see Ralph Wrecks the Internet. The monster was made up of lots of little Ralphs crawling around, kind of like lots of little red people. I see GNR references everywhere I go.
