lol if you don’t think Disney’s going to announce at least a half dozen Star Wars related projects throughout the year.

Also, way to complain and continue the conversation in the same breath. That’s not hypocritical at all, no siree.
Disney+ shows maybe. But I think they'll be quiet about new movies for at least a year.

For New Year's Eve my wife and I were watching the Indiana Jones trilogy. It's her favorite movie series and yada yada yada. I told her that my movie order changed on this rewatch to be 1,3,2, as I kindof forgot how bad Temple was.

However, she surprised me to say her list was 3,2,1. She said she can no longer get past that relationship with Marion as she was too young and taken advantage of.
:same: except maybe 2, 3, 1
I mean, Temple was always my favorite anyway, but the racism in Indiana Jones is something i definitely remembered from my childhood.
The pedophile poo poo like 20 minutes into the first one totally blindsided me and made me stop watching. "You knew what you were doing" jesus christ.

speaking of bautista, the almost as middling but tried to be inspiring Hotel Artemis. That was certainly a movie

A thing I left behind in the last decade: MoviePass

I've had AMC Stubs A-List for a year and a few months now and I have nothing but great things to say about it. I'd recommend it to everyone who got burned by MoviePass and even those who didn't but like seeing movies in theaters.

Alita was shockingly good and I regret doubting it because of the big eyes even though the big eyes are still weird to me. The film is good enough it surpasses having comically big eyes on a main character to be a great action film with great characters and Alita outright rejecting the replacement daughter trope. It made $404 million worldwide but the budget was around $170 so that's not enough in Hollywood math.

Gunna second the A-List reccomendation. Ive easily seen around $500 dollars worth of movies with it so far and Ive had it for 3 months so its only cost me around $90 bucks.

Single handedly got my rear end back in a theater on a regular basis.

If it were a financial “success” what lesson would they learn from it?

Not the right one I would wager. Still seems like dodgy math from a gambling addict’s mind though.

I'm on Alamo Drafthouse's movie pass and it's pretty sweet. Shame it doesn't have other benefits like a list yet.

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

A list makes sense since AMC still uses your standard multiplex model where they make all their profits on the concessions anyway, and not having to drop $10 on a ticket per head means people are more willing to spend money on popcorn and soda and hotdogs, which all cost AMC fractions of a penny on the dollar.

E: like I'd bet that AMC's profits have gone up since A List was introduced, because most people only watch two or three movies a month anyway, so AMC isn't missing that much ticket revenue, and three people that come are more likely to buy concessions, as A List includes access to the fast lane.

Sinemia literally just closed up shop one day and ran away with everyone's money. That was maybe a month after they started to require all users to send a copy of US government issued ID to them to confirm their identity. As they were some random company in Turkey that's where I stopped using them.

I really miss having MoviePass. I was going to 4-6 movies a month and didn't have to decide whether they were worth the money or not. There is no AMC theater close enough to me to join A-List. I miss all the lovely movies. :(

There aren't any AMC near where I live so I signed up for Cinemark's plan. Its not a super great plan but it does pay for itself if you see more than one movie a month.

Yeah it's a solid sports underdog drama with some comedic bits. I don't really have any complaints against it, but it ranked pretty low on my end of the year list because, outside of the performances, it's not very strong outside of it's specific genre.
