yes but everyone was on the same equal footing. it used to be that a group of people could say ‘hey maybe let’s see a movie’ on friday night, and go do that. hey, the screening they were nearest might be sold out, but they could settle for bad seats or get tickets to the next show.

i mean anything is possible, but i was just trying to relate with you and tell you something positive i’ve noticed about the point you were initially making.

not saying its new just saying this current version of it is also funny.

no, that’s also funny for the exact same reason.

yeah and the beatles would have been, like, still quite popular! kidz bop is a different thing.

...what? yeah i’m saying i’m seeing it as a trend amongst young people at rep screenings. i was trying to agree with you, and saying there is a market for rep screenings of classic movies, which was your point.

and i think you got so horned up to dunk on me you stopped reading what i was actually saying.

poor blank check. 

wait for the ‘gen alpha is killing streaming by not subscribing’ articles in a few years, that’ll be a real hoot.

i think it’s probably difficult to do at any real scale (i doubt multiple screenings on multiple screens would be possible, and after a week it’s outdated) but it was a really great experience.

yeah i think some of the buzz overshot exactly what it was. it’s very much just a straightforward slasher with a little narrative twist. my friend i saw it with had similar expectations/hopes.

most of the animated movies of my youth strictly had original songs and score, too. now it seems like they mostly use 80s pop songs.

i prefer it, too, but (and i’m not basing this on any real data) but i have to imagine that showing up and seeing all the best seats already taken for the last 10 years has effected spontaneous movie-going, and that’s had a ripple effect.

it’s one thing to have a parent show you a song as a kid, it’s another to have your association with that song be that it was a song sung by a cgi creature, is more my point. like, that song now becomes a kids song to them.

oh i would say eeaao is worse i fucking hate that movie.

lower decks is the first star trek show i’ve liked haha.

...what? my point was that young people are energized and excited about rep screenings and old movies, are actively seeking them out and learning.

i think we have a weird reaction where we feel ‘tricked’ when we learn someone we like came from a hollywood family.

they bent the knee for glass onion and even then only let it play for 2 weeks. netflix has a relationship with the tiff theatre here in toronto so i do get to see them sometimes, but why not let people see beverly hills cop 4 in a theatre for 4th of july weekend? what’s the harm?

they aired ‘the curse’ weekly in theatres here and i saw the finale in a packed house with a group all seeing it for the first time. it was a really, really fun way to end a series.
