yes!

I think he and other filmmakers have paid homage to some scenes from it.

Gould was so good around that time. So underrated.

like physically?

I feel like after the early 2000's, his attitude really became "I'm making an American film because it be high paying" as a means of funding his projects in Hong Kong. While I have no issue with that tactic, it became apparent that what he was putting out was likely going to be terrible and seemed to desperately try to draw on his 1995-2002/3 fame after he really exploded in the us with Rumble in the Bronx (yes, I know there was a ton of english dubbed films, but Rumble is when he really broke through).

Battle Creek Brawl (1980)

The boogeyman Disney movie. That shit was way too scary for kids. It still holds up.

There’s only so much you can do to correct for a bad room unfortunately.

Premium screens like Dolby are always going to be given extra care and have much more calibration involved due to the extra channels and speakers. The rooms are also usually better designed acoustically.

I watched Donnie Darko and didn't like it, I hardly understood anything. I guess I lacked some prerequisites, some knowledge before diving into it. That being said, I hate the topic of mental illness, I think it's just a lame excuse to go completely batshit crazy with logic, structure, scenes, colours for the lack of better ideas, and to try and present it as somehow artistic and unusual.

​

also im not sure bladerunner dealt with any AI-related issues, but with man-made life form, which had a normal intelligence, albeit different, but not artificial... I hope i'm making sense.

Physicists HATE this movie…

I love to rewatch this movie from time to time. It has such a specific style and weird tone to it. I kind of love it - Snake in WonderLAnd

Jackie Chan Adventures would like a quick word...... *Roundhouse kick!

The aesthetics of the movie have a retro feel to it. It reminds you old Bond, but at the same time brings the new grittiness of the Craig era. The biggest mistake the Craig era made was killing of Vesper in the first movie. There was so much more they could've done with her character.

Yeah, I agree.

The movie is so beloved, but I think it dragged.

Yes, the story and concept was very cool. I just felt it was too long.

the steve harvey bernie mac version is the kings of comedy

We don't know that until about 2/3 into the film though.

One of the theories I read online is that the blonde woman’s kid that she picks up at school is Robert Pattinson’s character. That obviously doesn’t clear up everything though.

I mostly agree with what you’re saying, and with the bit about Scorsese, but at this point we can look at the nominees and and know what the best performance is.

Yeoh is great in EEAAO, but Blanchett is better in Tár, which I think most people who have seen both would agree with. Yeoh winning this year would very much be a career Oscar and not truly reflective of the best performance.

I loved the movie but I think it could lose 20 minutes generally.

> He has been in an insane 138 movies over the years!

While impressive, it is amateur hour compared to James Hong who has 456 acting roles listed on IMDB. No shade on Jackie, just went on a James Hong deep dive after his fun antics at last nights SAG awards.

But, to tie it into Jackie Chan, the first version of Everything Everywhere All At Once was written with Jackie in mind. It was going to be him as the main character and Michelle Yeoh as the mild mannered spouse. But they decided it was just another action movie with little new to add, so they swapped it to have Michelle Yeoh be the main character and make it more about the mother/daughter relationship.

The King of Comedy was basically about YouTube "Content Creators" about 30 years before such a thing existed.

But that's more or less what it is.

The Longest Day

The minutes don't always correspond to what the movie turns out to be - this has happened before, I'm pretty sure the Greatest Beer Run Ever was a mystery movie and there was a discrepancy between its time and the "mystery movie" time

According to someone who works at a theater, the two trailers attached are for Book Club 2 and Polite Society, both movies from Focus Features which points to it being Champions.

So let me ask you, do you think it matters sitting in that location. I have been wondering if AMC adding walls behind the seats would mess up acoustics. So I’m thinking the calibration must correct for this. I would also like to assume that a theater like a Dolby Cinema would be better calibrated to account for this? Thoughts?
