movie tickets are goddamn expensive now. a pre-ordered ticket to a non-matinee regular 2D show at KoP is 15 bucks. so at that price you only need to see 8 movies to make it worthwhile. i may not get it but i'd end up seeing more smaller movies that i dont need to see on the big screen.

I've seen like 8 this year but I chose not to see a bunch more because it's too expensive

I've only seen like 3 movies this year, but I would definitely broaden my choice if cost was controlled (aka seeing more than Star Wars/Comic Book movies).

Nope. I usually try to avoid the 3D because my eyes have trouble with it. Or I have a slow thalamus.

popular "wisdom" now has it that theaters make zero on ticket sales and thus have to make up for it in the concessions. Always wondered if this was true or not.

I remember reading an article about 10 years ago in Entertainment Weekly about what a futuristic movie theater would look like. They were way off.

My understanding is that studios get much larger cuts from ticket sales closer to release dates so the theater doesn't really see a benefit from ticket sales for really new movies

"Spring" is probably worth an afternoon watch. It's one of those movies where you can't really say anything about the plot because it's novelty is part of what keeps you entertained. It's basically about a kid that commits a crime in the US, and then escapes to Italy and has some deranged times. they try to straddle different genres, I think somewhat unsuccessfully. some of the acting by the kid in particular is not great. it probably could have used a rewrite or two.

I'm sure he's a fine person but I don't need to ever see a movie or commercial with Samuel L Jackson in it again. Go to hell, Samuel L.

Just cancel the oscars.... come October 6th, every award will be locked up!

A former boxer named Bradley loses his job as an auto mechanic, and his troubled marriage is about to expire. At this crossroads in his life, he feels that he has no better option than to work for an old buddy as a drug courier. This vocation improves his situation until the terrible day that he finds himself in a gunfight between a group of police officers and his own ruthless allies. When the smoke clears, Bradley is badly hurt and thrown in prison, where his enemies force him to commit acts of violence that turn the place into a savage battleground


“….expect a rare break in tradition: I’ll be starting one Midnight Madness selection before midnight: ‘Brawl in Cellblock 99,’ ” he told Bloody Disgusting. “I think the film escalates to an absolutely deranged climax that’s kind of reminiscent of ‘The Story of Riki-Oh‘ but for the first hour it is more of a sober crime drama. In fact, I don’t think it really becomes a true ‘midnight movie’ until the hour and 7 minute mark exactly, so, therefore, I have decided to start my intro at 10:45 PM and the film at 10:53 PM, so that that when the clock strikes Midnight, so does the movie!”


No man can make this shit up. This was clearly an act of divine intervention.
