Gosh I love movies!

 

I was really hoping we'd eventually get that other season of Black Jesus that was talked about but I guess not. Still excited for more Boondocks though.

 

This video was recommended to me and I'm gonna need the internet to step AWF my man cause what they're gonna do is beat this into the ground and raise him on an impossibly high pedestal and the backlash will start and I will have to pick up the pieces!!

 

ooh

 

Not a huge Bradley Cooper fan. As a product of Clint Eastwood and Todd Phillips influence his ambitions have veered sharply from where I would have liked to see his talent go.

 

I'm not entirely convinced that he's a great actor. I have historically liked him in comedic roles but not dramatic

 

Love him in Wet Hit American Summer but that’s it

 

He plays a good asshole in those aughts comedies, Wedding Crashers/Hangover/He’s Just Not That Into You, and Wet Hot American Summer, and he’s been competent in a few dramas (Place Beyond the Pines is what I remember most), but I liked his directing more than his acting in A Star is Born

 

ASIB is my favorite thing he’s done by far. My excitement over this is more because I’m over Leo than I am a huge fan of him.

 

The reboot of All That came on after Friends. It's kinda cute but they made jokes about nobody knowing who billy ray Cyrus is which is kinda making me realize that the lil youths of today didn't even grow up on Hannah Montana cause they're all growing up on the YouTube. The youths who grew up on Hannah Montana are in college now.

 

The original All That made such obscure references to things that were mostly for adults and I always loved that. Having a small girl play Ross Perot repeatedly was just bonkers.

 

‘Black Panther’ DP Rachel Morrison to Make Directorial Debut on Barry Jenkins Script ‘Flint Strong’

 

I’m only in if it’s about Olive’s parents.

 

I really really liked Easy A and everyone involved. Didn’t read the article but hope the original cast would return somehow

 

Sounds like it would just have the school in common, which is a bummer.

 

Gone in 60 seconds is on and I will watch it every time.

 

A lot of people are mourning the death of movie theaters, but I am glad I don't have to drive two hours to see something that interests me.

 

I have seen maybe 3 movies in theaters in the last 5 years

 

I love the movie theater. I love a big screen and amazing sound. I love a good crowd in a good movie. I love when I see a movie alone and the credits roll and I sit there re-adjusting to getting up and leaving the theater, and I love when I see a movie with friends and talking about it as we leave/get drinks/food whatever. I do think the theater experience is great for film (and also literal film, I love seeing special projection events), but recognize that it's almost assuredly inevitable that most people's home theater setups are becoming decent enough and movie theaters largely shoot themselves in the foot (AMC fucking stinks) so that a theater experience is on its way out. Not to mention the effect Disney has on midbudget movies (they bought space in the arthouse theater near me for the Force Awakens, taking up a spot for a potential mid-budget or indie movie, and I assume that's their operating practice going forward with their Avengers and such)

 

Yeah I'll always prefer the experience of seeing a movie in a theatre. Also for all of those lines about people watching movies online, plus that Kumail story about the girl who doesn't watch movies, they seem to ignore how popular tv shows have become
