jayg Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 The unbearable weight of massive talent was really good, Imo. The wolf of wall street too but that might be older than 10 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I stopped watching Star Wars movies with whatever one had Jar Jar Binks. I stopped watching MCU movies with first Iron Man. I don't do horror. I can't say any recent movies have piqued my interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuvian Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 Business school dweebs with no artistic sense run the big studios now. That's why we get nothing but comic book movies and reboots. No one wants to make a creative decision so corporate safetyism reigns.

To see how it was done right, back in the day, see The Offer series about the making of the Godfather. It is a great watch. It is on Paramount+ the trailer is here: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy KGB Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I think the only movie I’ve liked in the last decade is the Guardians of the Galaxy. Can’t recall any other movies I’ve cared about 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a Movie Tavern in my area, same concept. Food can be hit or miss though. Also, all ordering (unless you want to go to the bar) is done through their app, and they cut off sales at a certain point during your movie. So if you decide you want one more drink about half an hour before your movie ends, you can't get it unless you leave and go to the bar. Pre-Covid, they had buttons at each seat to summon the staff.

I just went there Sunday to see the new Alien movie and I asked where I get snacks and they told me to scan the QR code at my seat and they'll bring it to me...I just stared at the woman in disbelief lol. It took getting used to but was pretty convenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 Wait, so you're sitting there trying to watch a movie and people are constantly coming in and out walking in front of you with food and drink deliveries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From my single experience this past weekend, the deliveries were all done in the last few minutes of trailers/first few minutes of movies. Although one girl did go to the bathroom like 18 times during the movie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they deliver alcohol? I know back in the pre covid time when they actually had servers they would but I thought that alcohol drinks had to be purchased at the bar versus on the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the hassle side is was made me hesitant (and fumbling about with my phone in the theatre) but it was pretty cool in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, alcohol needs to be ordered at the bar, can not do it through the app. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the norm in most of the movie theaters in my part of VA. There’s a few throwback classy theatres that do this but make you order 30 mins before movie starts so there aren’t interruptions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly think I'd walk out if waiters kept passing in front of me carrying happy meals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that constant, most people get their orders before the actual movie starts. And the space between your seat and the row in front of you is wider, so there's room for them to get by.
