Movies! The movie thread

Problem is now the movies are taking too long to come to streaming/amazon, and when they are they're now starting at buy for $19.99 only and then wait even longer for the $5 rental to finally happen.

Yep, agree to a certain point, but I wait till they are $3.99 or maybe $6.99 (or even free). There is so much to watch these days I can occupy myself and wait for a particular movie to come to me at a price I want to pay. Not for everyone but I'm in no hurry.

Agreed, I used to love going to the theatre to see a movie on the big screen. I'd usually go on a weeknight because the crowds were a pain. I just don't have any desire anymore.

Kidding aside, like I said above, I can appreciate the theater experience but I'd rather kick back at home in my underwear, if I choose. And I don't have to go anywhere. That's just me.

Pretty close to it. AMCs have reclining seats and some are even heated. I’ve seen people bringing in blankets and got really comfortable. Haha it is a bit of a commitment though because you’ll have to take time to get ready, drive there and back, plus movie time, etc. I just love going to the movies and like watching movies as they come out so it works for me. So far this year, I’ve gone to the movies 40 times, and that doesn’t include time when I’m not in town. Otherwise, that number would be higher.

I'm with you. I used to go every week even if the selections weren't that great. Not anymore. Happy to watch from home.

Just rented "Smile" for $6.99. Starting to watch now. May not finish tonight. Will let you guys know what I think.

Curious to get your take. I just watched it on Xfinity because I chose to watch Barbarian over it in theaters. I made the right choice. Smile started off well but ended super lame.

Haven't finished it yet. Hoping to enjoy it all. You're the second person here to not like the ending.

Watched Barbarian in the comfort of my home, for $6.99, a little bit ago. Thought it was very good.

PS - that's the nice thing about watching it at home, I can pause it, get up go to the bathroom, go get a glass of wine, whatever I want. And it's right there waiting for me, and I didn't miss a thing.

Cue in Aerosmith’s “I don’t wanna miss a thing.”

People gushed it was the greatest movie ever….I think the church of Scientology was involved in the marketing there…..good movie but just another flick. It wasn't the Matrix, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid or anything like that.

Just finished "Smile." Thought it was good the whole way through.
