While watching the Big Bang Theory at the end of one of the seasons Leonard appears decently skinny but in the next episode at the beginning of the near one which supposedly takes place only a few days later after the previous episode he has noticeably gained like 25 pounds. Did he magically get fatter?!

In El Camino in all the scenes which are supposed to be taking place during Breaking Bad, Jesse Plemons is massive compared to when they filmed the actual show.

When they're not lampooning nerds and just focusing on stuff based around other aspects of the characters, I don't mind it.

Me and my partner subbed to Regal unlimited recently and their after trailers but before movie commercial is quite possibly one of the worst that I've ever seen.

Big time. Same for me.

Also, last couple of times I went to the theater they used an automated check in thing with assigned seating which, to me, is another example of solving a problem that didn't really exist. General seating works fine, even if the theater is crowded and this just adds another layer of hassle to the rather simple experience of buying a ticket to a movie and go finding a seat.

Last thing I want to do is pull out ticket stubs to seat check somebody or try and read seat and aisle numbers in the loving dark.

When we went to see Spiderverse last weekend, while we were waiting in the lobby area my son ran into a few of his school friends and naturally we all wanted to sit together but god drat what a pain in the rear end. We'd already bought tickets and, luckily, there were seats available next to us but wtf is wrong with "hey, cool, Colin and Aiden are here. Why don't you guys sit with us?" and then you just walk in find some seats?

I've almost never had a problem finding a seat in a theater. Maybe twice in my whole life where we were double dating and couldn't get 4 seats together but big loving deal. I think once when I was a kid, me and my friend had to sit apart from each other but we got through it.

Unassigned seating sucks rear end. With assigned seating I can show up 20 minutes after the scheduled showtime to skip all the trailers and I can kick assholes out the seats that I've preselected.

Your kids and their friends can talk after the movie they don't need to sit together if they didn't come together

Both are fine, it doesn't matter that much. Going to the movies sucks compared to streaming it to my house where I can smoke weed, make drinks, and pause as needed.

I'm thankful for assigned seating and that Cineplex doesn't give a gently caress if you bring outside food anymore. Hell yeah party bag of Sweet Chili Heat Doritos

for real I usually just get fuzzy peaches from the store in the mall for 4$ instead of paying like 10$ for them at the concession.

Also if the movie is 20 minutes in no one will care if you change seats. The character in the movie won't stop and point at you through the screen like a 1970's body snatcher as the employees rush you from both aisles

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

I saw the preview for the Kraven the Hunter movie. And I am irrationally angered.

They made it all dark and serious. They have RussellCrow doing his best Boris and Natasha accent. They try and turn him into a good guy going against the baddie assasin guys. They give him vague superpowers transferred though a drop of lions blood. And worst of all, they take away his silly lion face vest.

Boo to you move makers. Boo.

Not spoilering any of that, coz its a poo poo film about a 2nd rate Spiderman villain, that gives spoils not a single piece of plot info, excepting my petty gripes with it.

He pulls some lion mane thing out of a trunk in the trailer, this is probably Silly Lion Face Vest Begins.

I just really wish they'd lean into the campiness. Have fun with it like the Guardians of the Galaxy ones mostly do! Or the newer Suicide Squad! Is James Gunn the only person capable of making comic book movies that have levity?

The intro scene to Wonder Woman 1984 seemed like it could actually be great, and then there was the rest of it.

Is that the mall sequence? Because if so I was irritated by the production design, some goofy looking colours and outfits. I think whoever graded it had someone over their shoulder increasing the vibrance and they kept the saturation beefy too so it just looked colourful but in a really wrong way. I will have to scrub through for some stills though, I can barely remember anything in that movie

Kraven is the like one of only a handful of marvel R rated movies though, and deadpool barely counts so it's like this and Logan. And Blade.

God Blade is going to be PG-13 lol. Which usually equates to PG here in Canada.

Movie trailer voice: Blade. (quickly) Rated PG for some violent scenes

Pretty much, yeah. Modern movie studios have absolutely no idea what camp is or what to do with it.

I don't have the experience to judge the post-production color work, but the scene itself was spot on for golden age DC and the rest was mostly diappointing.

A classic I remember from maybe a decade ago was at the local cinema a turbo nerd stood up and clapped at one stage of the movie. It was an early Xmen so probably teasing a character for next movie. Three people from different parts of the room yelled out "Sit the gently caress down Kevin you nerd!". Either he was popular or known to do that all the time.
