What's the most recent movie you've seen IN A THEATRE? - Page 2

infinite monkey · 10-22-2015, 11:11 AM

I saw The Martian. Liked it very much.

I saw The Visit. Liked it very much.

I saw Black Mass. Liked it very much.

Even though they're all RUBBISH, I liked them.

(My big lonesome entertainment is to hit the theater for the first showing of the day on Fridays (not every Friday, just when there's something I want to see and I get up in time and I do try to catch up on sleep every now and again and it also depends if I drink wine when I get off my night job at 1 a.m. Friday morning) because I'm off my day job on Friday. It's cheap, and often no one else is even in the theater.)

I saw that Room is coming out and has a lot of Oscar buzz.

I liked the book, but have no desire to see the movie. It just feels more unpleasant and real than the book felt to me. The book felt like a thriller, and the movie seems like a traumatic thing.

I almost went to see that but I had heard the same buzz. Gorgeous is nice, but not enough to make me pay 5 bucks. Plus popcorn.

Never let anyone tell you not to enjoy a terrible movie for whatever reason! Some of our consistent favorites are awful. Although, if my neighbor tries to get me to watch Wild Hogs or Roadside Prophets ONE MORE TIME...those are not my kind of awful. My kind of awful is best expressed as "I own like 25 Godzilla movies and all but about 5 of the snake-based creature features I know of, including Snake Island and Snakes on a Train."

It's a really non-inspiring title, to me. It automatically gets confused in my brain with Crimson Tide and Twin Peaks.

Bridge of Spies sounds good. Maybe tomorrow...

I saw the new Mad Max, it may be time to go to the movies.

Still haven't been to a theater since "Braveheart".

I alllllmost went to an IMAX showing of "Star Trek Into Darkness". $19/person nixed that idea.

If I could go back in time, I'd catch Into Darkness on a theater screen. Went to the 2009 reboot with the neighbor and quite liked the new crew, particularly Mr. Young Spock Will Beat Your A$$. It'd be fun to try to catch the momentary R2-D2 cameo as flying debris in Into Darkness, plus Benedict Cummerbund (okay, so I can't remember how to spell his name this early in the morning) is a pretty decent actor when given a snarky character.

I think my feelings about the current Twin Pillars of Uber-British Actors are summed up by a Tumblr post I found a while back--Benedict bitching about why people HAVE to get an autograph, defacing a book just because their friends won't believe them otherwise, and meanwhile Tom Hiddleston on a publicity tour for I Saw The Light is all "Hey, dude, can I sign your hat?" I would never have bet someone as Shakespearean as Hiddleston could pull off one of the great hearts of American country music...but wow.

Harry Potter: Deathly Hallows part 2.

Bridge of Spies was pretty good.

Amy Adam's new movie, Arrival, was very good.

It's just about out of the theaters now. There was only one theater that still had it in our area, and they only had 10:40 AM and 10:40 PM showtimes.

I liked it because it was original. Not a sequel, or a remake, or a comic book. Not too many of those these days. Space aliens come to Earth and not speaking their language, we try to figure out what their intentions are, with some factions viewing them as benevolent and some as a threat to be destroyed. Good stuff.

That was a smart movie.
