Do you people in real cities have good theaters? Even the best relatively close to me is poo poo visual and audio quality compared to what I have at home, which should be impossible even for someone like me with a decent setup. And I'm someone who enjoys that theater experience, but its just not worth it anymore

And I'm someone who enjoys that theater experience, but its just not worth it anymore I have an IMAX not too far away that I like but very few films require what that offers to really effect my enjoyment. I think that theaters are about to go entirely by the wayside if they haven't already and of course Covid aided that. A lot of times, my biggest issue in theaters (technically speaking) is the sound quality - or lack thereof. But the simple fact is that when you watch a movie at home you can pause it to take a piss, rewind it if you miss something, set the sound to your liking, smoke a bowl or grab a beer, pick it up the next day if you get tired and fall asleep, tend to your phone if you have to (and not have to deal with other people doing that poo poo), eat your own snacks and food without spending $25 on $3 worth of poo poo, cut it short if you want to have sex or take a call and don't have to deal with people talking too loud and all sorts of things. Plus, if you don't like the movie, you can check out and put something else on without feeling ripped off. I enjoy the theater experience myself, depending on the film, but the older I get I like it less and less for a myriad of reasons. For decades now, the consumer electronics industry has attempted to bring the theater experience home and they've largely succeeded, if not surpassed it. For the most part, I'd rather watch a movie at my house but gently caress watching any film on a loving phone. That I just don't get. I'm not an animal.

My spouse is running some speaker wire soon, so we can get surround sound at home. If I really miss the theatre experience, I'll crank the volume up way too loving loud and pipe in the sound of someone chewing right behind the couch.

I'm too much of a misophoniac to really relax and enjoy theaters myself, but a lot of people really enjoy the social experience of them, of sharing an experience together that elevates it to a more memorable level than if you were just watching it by yourself (laughing at a comedy, reacting to horror, etc) I'm a goon and can take or leave that type of thing but I think there's enough normal people out there that theaters aren't gonna ever go away entirely, they're just gonna have to reevaluate a little i will say this though, seeing knives out in a theater and hearing a woman audibly say "jesus christ" the first time we heard daniel craig's accent was just as memorable as the movie itself (which was also very good)

Was it always planned as a theatrical release? I just assumed it was like the Deadwood movie a few years back that came out on HBO Max. I have to imagine the audience that would watch a movie based on a TV show is small. I think the X Files is the only show that successfully made that leap.

It was originally planned as a theatrical release for September 25, 2020 and then March 21, 2021. The simultaneous theater/HBOmax release was decided after it was delayed from the March date.

I remember gf dragging me to see Endgame and there just being children running wild up and down the aisles, it was awful. Two Towers at the same theater many years prior, not being much better and my cousin who was with us getting mad and some little girl sitting in front of us turns around and says half under her breath, "don't swear at us you bastard" I'm v much a goon though and when I sit and watch something, I sit and watch it. No interruptions. No looking at the phone, no watching movies on cable with commercials and poo poo, has to be loud. At one point I even theorized a component that connected your home phone to your AV setup and would auto drop any calls that came in once a movie started codo27 fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Sep 16, 2021 |

What you have to do is crank the sound effects levels up to Teeth Shattering and the dialogue down to Whisper Mumble. At least that seems to be the default. codo27 posted:I remember gf dragging me to see Endgame and there just being children running wild up and down the aisles, it was awful. You and me both, man. I keep chalking it up to me being Old Cranky Guy but a large percentage of my theater time over the last 5 or 10 years has loving sucked for exactly the reasons you described. If I'm Going to the Movies to See a Movie, then god drat at least commit. But I dunno. I don't get people who go to concerts and film the whole thing on their phone either so whatever I guess. gently caress David Chase. I'm kidding but I'm gonna watch his new movie however it gives me the most enjoyment. Pretty sure either way, he'll make more money than me and it'll all be fine. At least in my living room, I'm not surrounded by 20 glowing phones and loud drunken assholes. BiggerBoat fucked around with this message at 21:10 on Sep 16, 2021 |

To be clear, the September 2020 release date was decided as far back as November 2019 when I was at the con.

I'm baffled as to what this could have been. How do you fit Edie Falco as Carmela into a prequel? https://twitter.com/IndieWire/status/1440013387400822791

Based on the article, I'm assuming it started in present day (or they tried to film it so it looked like mid-2000s Edie Falco) with something that reminded her or kicked off a flashback to the past. Doesn't sound like the greatest idea, though of course who knows how it might have worked out, and they ditched it anyway so the point is moot I guess.

Yeah I have to imagine her scene was part of some framing device. Probably for the best it’s cut because I can’t imagine anyway you bring her back, presumably after the end of the TV series, and not tip the audience into one direction or the other regarding the ambiguity of the ending

I think I said it in this thread or the GOT thread but like, yeah, regardless of what Chase let slip I think it's clear that he intended to have it be ambiguous and that Tony died is merely his own personal headcanon. Because the way that scene is filmed and edited and all that, there's literally only two possible explanations 1. Chase is a loving moron. 2. Chase intended the series' final scene to be ambiguous.

Yeah, I’ve always said that Master of Sopranos blog got everything right EXCEPT saying that it was definite. Is the scene shot and edited so that the cut to black could be a final POV shot from dead Tony, having been shot by the Members Only jacket guy? Absolutely it is. I have no doubt that’s intentional. But the ambiguity is the point.

codo27 posted:There really isn't any ambiguity anymore though. Chase himself has let it slip and referred to it as the "death scene" i cant tell if this is a metajoke about how people keep repeating this, so sorry if that's going over my head but that isn't what happened. everyone who says this is referring to an out of context clickbait article from a tabloid that makes it sound like david chase was referring to the actual ending that aired, but he wasn't. he was talking about a planned alternative ending, which even then, wasn't meant to be so straightforward. the "you realize you just called it a death scene / gently caress you guys" exchange was just banter between gentlemen having fun https://www.primetimer.com/item/No-David-Chase-did-not-confirm-that-Tony-Soprano-died-in-The-Sopranos-series-finale-DjSvxk quote:Britain's The Independent published a transcript this morning of TV critics Matt Zoller Seitz and Alan Sepinwall discussing the series finale with Chase for their book The Sopranos Sessions that "seems to accidentally confirm Tony's fate." But the story, which the New York Post picked up, isn't true, says Seitz. "David Chase did not 'confirm' that 'Tony died' in the Sopranos book I cowrote with @Sepinwall," Seitz tweeted. "He spoke of another ending he considered, yrs before the one he actually wrote. Even that scene was open to interpretation. Frustrating to be intentionally misrepresented for clicks. I hit a surreal high point in my career today when a guy trying to argue that 'Tony died' at the end of the Sopranos linked me to a New York Post article that intentionally misinterprets the book that cowrote. I guess he didn’t even read what he was linking to. I am even more convinced that the dudes — and it’s always dudes — who won’t accept any interpretation except 'Tony dies' never actually gave a moment’s thought to what the show was doing and saying." sorry to relitigate an argument that i'm sure this thread must have had one thousand times already but i still see people repeating that tabloid article unironically all the time and ya gotta nip it in the bud

The fact that we don't know, and won't know, is the entire point.

The fact that we don't know, and won't know, is the entire point. I've always taken it to mean that it honestly doesn't matter what happens after the cut to black because no matter the outcome - Members Only shoots Tony, the feds are waiting when he gets home, whatever - Tony has turned aside from all chances to change so whatever happens next is inevitable and it's not what Tony would consider a happy ending.

Yeah, the whole point for me is that Tony's life never gets better than struggling to just have a pleasant dinner with his wife and kids, something that ordinary people with healthy relationships take for granted. Maybe he gets his brains blown out and falls face-first into a bowl of onion rings, but if he doesn't, he just becomes like Lydia or Junior.

I also think it's interesting how the camera focuses on the member's only guy; like obviously the implication is "he's an assassin who's here to kill him" but if you take a step back and think about it, in-fiction, tony soprano's a local celebrity, there are a whole bunch of scenes that establish that civilians know who he is. imagine if you walked into a diner for a quick cup of coffee and fuckin john gotti's sitting there, you'd gawk too
