I think Signs was his last one where you can actually say was good.

He got big from Unbreakable and Sixth Sense, then Signs was strong too, then drop off with Lady in the Water and the Village, and perhaps his worst the Happening.

I think this is a pretty good summary of M. Night movies, though I did like "Split" and "Old" too.

Ditto, although I liked The Village a lot more than others, perhaps it was during the Bush Jr era and ppl didn't like getting the wool pulled over their eyes.

Thanks, yeah I like all his stuff, even the Happening, but if I am going to be an honest critic I like to tell the truth on what I could actually recommend to a friend.

I too liked Split and Old was actually really unique just no one watched it.

Where the Crawdads (crayfish) Sing.
When a dead body is found, marsh woman 'Kya' is accused of murder.

Went to first theatre show in a couple years and saw Operation Fortune. It was a strange attempt to copy several movies. Could easily have saved $26.50 plus candy a seen it at home, but the wife wanted to show my drunk self off to the public

I went to see it with the lady friend last night as well. We both thoroughly enjoyed it! It was nonstop entertainment from beginning to end. Coupling it with good action and humor and we got a movie that we liked. I’ll watch anything with Jason Statham (and Hugh Grant) though.

OkieSnuffBox · 03-13-2023, 09:02 AM

We wanted to go see Cocaine Bear weekend before last since my dad was in town. But we waited to long to buy tickets online.

By the time we did for the showtime we wanted, the tickets were either stupidly expensive (I'm not paying $16/ticket for any movie) or there no theaters with 3 seats together.

Alfisti · 03-13-2023, 10:21 AM

$16??????

The fuck is the normal price then?

I used to love going to the theatre to watch movies, but since the lockdowns etc I just have no interest anymore.

TTM0TION · 03-13-2023, 11:14 AM

I think the AMC by me is $20.

BMW F22 · 03-13-2023, 11:22 AM

Dolby Digital or bigger screens are $25-26 here in Silicon Valley. Makes AMC A-List worth it at $25 a month.

Not interested either, and we used to go every week.

Edit: still love movies and watch them often, but watch them at home.

No idea. I've been to the theater twice in the last 8 years. I have a big TV and sound system at home for a reason.

More OT

Same here. When I was a grade-schooler in the mid-50s, dad and I took them in streams and small rivers in central Wyoming.

Mom wasn't enthused about cleaning and preparing them and said "There's almost nothing here to eat!" Our response: "We'll catch more next time - when will they be ready!"

M5Rick · 03-14-2023, 03:17 PM

Not Jason Bourne but Bill Baker in this one, fact based but only on the premise of the murder investigation on Amanda Knox. Watched before.

BMW F22 · 03-14-2023, 06:39 PM

Remember I made a post about seeing “The Whale” in theaters and how I really liked it? So happy he won! I think most people were rooting for his comeback.
