I would gladly see a movie in theaters, even if it’s already available on HBO Max if the experience is as enjoyable as Alamo Drafthouse. Comfortable chairs, drinks/food, NOBODY TEXTING. Ah I really do miss that. They reopened here in Dallas area. Originally they reopened all the locations, and then eventually lowered…

Alamo offers something different, though.

I’m not surprised that AMC is pissed, but what exactly are they expecting? Do they want the studios to sit on their hands for another year? Because this doesn't all go away as soon as the shots go out. We still have a ways to go until we hit herd immunity.

Before Alamo Drafthouse moved into my area I saw movies in theater maybe twice a year. With Alamo offering a great selection of beer and food along with so many older films and no commercials I have been going to 15+ movies a year the last few years. AMC and Cinemark are an unpleasant way to experience watching a…

I’m sure it has nothing to do with pragmatism. Like a large chunk of the viewing audience for 2021 will still have justifiable concerns about Covid-19. Even if they approve a vaccine and start immunizing people in January, it will be late into 2021 before everyone who wants it has it.

This may not be entirely on the COVID. The AMC nearest me is a dump. They took it over during their Carmike acquisition, and Carmike had clearly quit spending money on it years ago. For a brief moment, I thought AMC might might do something about the peeling wallpaper, missing carpet, and outdated auditoriums. Two…

But the film didn’t suck. And over the course of people crying about it, not one legitimate argument about why it supposedly sucks has ever been introduced.

I unapologetically love The Last Jedi as one of my top three Star Wars films for a lot of the reasons you listed why. Good article.

To be fair, each OT character was supposed to be the focus of each new movie; TLJ was focused on Luke, and the finale was supposed to focus on Leia. For obvious reasons, that couldn’t be fulfilled.

The Last Jedi was a great movie made worse by the turd that the TRoS. Finn’s exposure to the gray areas of galactic arms-trading and the idea that a worker’s political revolution is needed to end the endless conflict? THROWN IN THE TRASH. The idea that Luke Skywalker sacrificed himself to inspire the Galaxy with his…

As a more casual Star Wars fan, I definitely enjoyed The Last Jedi the most out of the three sequels. Things like the “we are what they grow beyond” talk, Luke explaining the Force to Rey, the First Order wiping out the Resistance one transport at a time, Rey almost bringing Ben back to the light and failing, Holdo…

TLJ is easily in my top-5 of Star Wars films, and I’ve liked it better after every rewatch.

Fuck the haters, The Last Jedi is objectively the best movie of the sequel trilogy and is far better than all the prequels and is a decent movie in its own right.

I think that’s a dangerous premise. Note that these guys aren’t confronting armed rednecks, so it’s also not a premise you can really back up. If you think these militia types are scared of conflict, you’d do well to remember the Cliven Bundy drama where they were basically arrayed against armed federal agents.…

Also fun: Remind them who signed off on immigration amnesty act, sold weapons to Iran, and raised taxes several times?

Fun activity: Remind Conservatives & the NRA crowd who got open carry nixed in California..

No way. They will keep all their gun rights and just enforce them unevenly, just like always. White Person doing anything with any gun: 2nd Amendment. Dark Person with a legal gun: Philando Castille. “I feared for my life. He reached for an object. He was coming right for us.” Hell, even if the legal gun is imaginary.

Who could have possibly won a case, even remotely like this, against Google’s horde of lawyers?!

I had an employee that was convinced and wanted to lodge a complaint that he was not getting promoted because he was a white male. He was smart, performed very well, and in his mind he should have been promoted.

There were a lot of butt-hurt tech douche bros about this guy getting fired.
