The more tragic things get,
the more I feel like laughing.




I'll watch basically anything with Katt Williams in it but this was interesting enough to make me want to watch the first movie (which I've never seen) so mission accomplished I guess.

Fuckin' lol I saw Tree of Life on opening weekend and everyone sat politely as the first couple of minutes of the film played back in complete silence (because it's Malick and I guess people were thinking "ok, there's no sound at the beginning, it's an artsty fartsy thing"). Eventually a lady a few seats over saw me looking really confused and she asked me "do you think there's supposed to be sound here?".

I walked out of the theater and asked the ticket guy "Hey, is the first couple of minutes of Tree of Life supposed to be MOS?". He looked at me like I was speaking in loving tongues so I told him "dude the sound is off in theater three". He go on his radio and said something like "uhhhh hey Jerry, some guy says there's no sound in theater three" and lo and behold as I was walking back to my seat there was a loud static burst followed by the sounds of lovely-looking CGI dinosaurs fighting as the idiot projectionist plugged the audio patch cable back in.

lmao

that mustve been excruciating, dont the dinos come in at like the halfway point?

I mean, this movie apparently has the conflict begin when the black main character who is married to a white woman tries to sic the cops onto his black neighbor. Also the vampire hates cops and wants to pay for your college tuition. And is Snoop Dog.

Yeah, but you went on to marry her so it's also a really sweet story? Seriously tho, what a wonderful scenario to have as a playground on a first date. Walk out out the cinema, have the energy be tense and odd between you, get to the car and loiter for a moment... "WELL, I DON'T HAVE THAT PROBLEM" then telegraphed ten miles in advance, make a slow, animated move in for a kiss. Mmm, I'd have spun gold from that straw.

I went to see Tree of Life on a first date. I was into it, she probably wasnt as much. Anyway, the couple behind us were something else, the dude was super not into it.

He kept angry-whispering to his date "ugh this is boring" and she was like "shush, it's good!", then they'd be quiet for another 20+ minutes. Every time I'm thinking, next time I'm gonna tell him to shut up but it just peters out & I get back into the movie. Eventually she's like "you wanna leave?" and he was like "nah its probably over soon" lmao

Honestly happy I dont have to go thru this anymore. Id always just get super pissed at someone else ruining everyone else's 20 dollar experience by talking loudly or whatever and i d manage to say something at the end of the movie after stewing over it for 2 hrs and it coming out way too aggressive

Yeah I mean in hindsight it was just instinctual to say that, it's definitely unlikely that he would know what the hell I was saying. But then again, the dude that's working under me on a Disney movie used to manage a chain theater. And a co-worker hired a barista who worked at his neighborhood Starbucks because they would talk about movies when he went for a coffee, and the guy was the best P.A. I've ever worked with.

I may be misremembering but it was definitely after the birth of the universe poo poo at the beginning of the movie.

(There are two threads with this discussion so I can't keep track of which)

I saw The Matrix on opening night and *goddamn* - just 2 straight hours of the audience realizing they were witnessing a pretty historic cinematic moment.

Hard same, there was just this vibe in the theater seeing that opening night. There were actual gasps during Trinity's rotating-shot jump kick. After Neo said "I know kung-fu" there was some guy who just stage whispered "gently caress yeah". There was no hootin' and hollerin' , just a room full of people who couldn't take their eyes from the screen. There was a feeling of wonder hanging over the entire theater. Best experience I've had in a theater.

I was one of the first people to see it in the UK, my friend won two tickets to a premiere, and as it was my birthday too he invited me.
We were so hyped afterward we walked the 3 or so miles home talking about it instead of taking a taxi.
And my friend was the only one who shouted 'gently caress yeah' when Trinity did her 'dodge this'.

"In Camelot on New Year's Day, King Arthur's court is exchanging gifts and waiting for the feasting to start when the king asks to see or hear of an exciting adventure. A gigantic figure, entirely green in appearance and riding a green horse, rides unexpectedly into the hall. He wears no armour but bears an axe in one hand and a holly bough in the other. Refusing to fight anyone there on the grounds that they are all too weak to take him on, he insists he has come for a friendly Christmas game: someone is to strike him once with his axe on the condition that the Green Knight may return the blow in a year and a day.[4] The splendid axe will belong to whoever accepts this deal. Arthur himself is prepared to accept the challenge when it appears no other knight will dare, but Sir Gawain, youngest of Arthur's knights and his nephew, asks for the honour instead. The giant bends and bares his neck before him and Gawain neatly beheads him in one stroke. However, the Green Knight neither falls nor falters, but instead reaches out, picks up his severed head and remounts, holding up his bleeding head to Queen Guinevere while its writhing lips remind Gawain that the two must meet again at the Green Chapel. He then rides away. Gawain and Arthur admire the axe, hang it up as a trophy and encourage Guinevere to treat the whole matter lightly.

As the date approaches, Sir Gawain sets off to find the Green Chapel and keep his side of the bargain."

There's more on the page of this Arthurian legend, but it may contain spoilers for the movie!: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Gawain_and_the_Green_Knight

By coincidence, I just listened to the History of English Podcast episode on Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. The whole series is great if you're at all into history or language, but this episode goes over the poem the story comes from.
