So would that mean I could watch Avatar The Way of Water at my home right now if I had this? Because that would be so cool!

You can have a real theater projector in your home and them deliver movies to you just like theaters do, it costs like $5k/mo though.

Reply to Horror movies - do they deliberately make characters so stupid things to stir the audience emotions up while watching? by geo_gan
As time goes on, it has become much harder to write convincing horror stories.
In 1930, the creak of Dracula's coffin slowly opening was pure nightmare fuel.
Now, it's a punchline.
Anything set after the 90's you have to get very creative to eliminate cell phones and the internet from your group of victims.
There's always no service, or low battery, because otherwise you could easily call the police or an Uber.
No one can run in a straight line without tripping so the lumbering juggernaut with a chainsaw/machete can catch up.
The key is to make these obstacle feel natural instead of contrived.
Most of these supernatural creatures we see in movies wouldn't actually be a threat in real life, at least not for long.
Which is why all the vampire/werewolf movies where they expend a shit ton of effort to stay hidden are actually well justified.

You just don't understand acting. It is not about overacting, histerical drama in every second of screen time. Sometimes it is subtle, quiet work. Like, looke at Kate Mara - she really can act, but nobody cares, because she is doing her job, and not trying to steal the movie.

Huh, that’s interesting. Personally, I saw myself in all the main cast and how I’ve dealt with loneliness differently throughout my life

ADR stands for Automated Dialogue Replacement. This is the process of recording dialogue in a studio after filming to replace the initially recorded lines on set. This is usually due to bad sound quality recorded in the take that production wants to use in the finished product

This is the same Dave Bautista that didn't want to be known for these kinds of pictures?

It clearly was inspired by Se7en. The aesthetic is noticeable.

Reply to Tim Robbins should have won Best Actor for The Shawshank Redemption over Tom Hanks for Forrest Gump by Scmods05
Hanks is a bit derpy as Forrest, but it makes the more emotional scenes all the more striking, imo. The scene where he learns that he has a son is still a massive tearjerker.

There are plenty of terrific horror films with no stupid people doing stupid things. The opening post just sounds like a generalisation of the horror genre using a tired old trope that is only found in poor films

May be in the minority here, but I never understood why L.A. Confidential was such a darling at the Oscars. It's a good, well-made movie and all, but I don't get what made it so special. And yeah, this would include Basinger's performance, which I thought was fine.
Edit: Also, aside from the Rollo Tomasi thing, I thought the book was better.

I've gotta watch this movie again. I took everything as simple as a point blank film.

The third is ok to me, but the rest are just sit through to satisfy my gore fiend but I don't think I've seen any of the later ones more than once. I dont think I even managed five minutes of the last one.
