It's on Netflix too

 

So I finally decided to go ahead and get MoviePass, but I have no idea if my transaction actually went through. I went through the whole process, put in my email, billing info, etc. But I got no confirmation email and it's not showing up on my card statement. But then it says my month won't begin until I receive my MoviePass card, so maybe I just don't get billed until then? Has anyone else had an experience like this when trying to get MoviePass?

 

I signed up 6 weeks ago. They charged me $9.99 within a day or so of signing up. I still haven't received my card, but I've gotten numerous emails updating me on when it should arrive (supposedly within the next week)

 

Thanks! Sounds like mine probably didn't go through for some reason. I'll try again I guess.

 

Martin Scorsese on Rotten Tomatoes, Box Office Obsession and Why 'Mother!' Was Misjudged (Guest Column)

There is another change that, I believe, has no upside whatsoever. It began back in the '80s when the “box office” started to mushroom into the obsession it is today. When I was young, box office reports were confined to industry journals like The Hollywood Reporter. Now, I'm afraid that they've become…everything. Box office is the undercurrent in almost all discussions of cinema, and frequently it’s more than just an undercurrent. The brutal judgmentalism that has made opening-weekend grosses into a bloodthirsty spectator sport seems to have encouraged an even more brutal approach to film reviewing. I’m talking about market research firms like Cinemascore, which started in the late '70s, and online “aggregators” like Rotten Tomatoes, which have absolutely nothing to do with real film criticism. They rate a picture the way you'd rate a horse at the racetrack, a restaurant in a Zagat's guide, or a household appliance in Consumer Reports. They have everything to do with the movie business and absolutely nothing to do with either the creation or the intelligent viewing of film. The filmmaker is reduced to a content manufacturer and the viewer to an unadventurous consumer.

 

Marty's the best.

 

I signed up a month ago, haven’t gotten my card yet. Said I won’t get billed until I activate my card

 

But did you at least get some sort of confirmation of your order?

 

Yes, I got an email

 

Thanks. I straight up didn't even get one so I guess something went wrong.

 

Fyi, my card showed up today. Probably won't get a chance to use it until the weekend but...

 

Well, I just subscribed an got an actual confirmation this time. It said my card should arrive within 2-3 weeks. So fingers cross that it actually does!

 

awesome

 

Just curious, does anyone here watch any of the ‘Chicago’ shows on NBC? I still watch Chicago Fire, a bit reluctantly because it’s just not that great, but I’ve made it this far so I still keep up with it.

 

Just got my Moviepass card in the mail

 

Just used Movie Pass for the first time today. Went fairly smoothly.

 

but it was fine when it was just the POS David O. Russell

 

oh hell yeah

 

Fucking Lars, it never ends

 

I figured everyone knew Lars Von Trier made Bjork and Nicole Kidman cry

 

Yeah stories about him being a creep have circulated for awhile. I heard Kiefer Sutherland confronted him about his behavior towards Kirsten Dunst on Melancholia.

 

Wooow

Also it's hard to watch Kirsten Dunst during that
