Movie thread

A couple of days late but interesting though: June 6, 1933 the first drive-in movie theater opens.  Anyone have a good drive in story to tell? Saw Star Wars for the first time on one.

^^ There weren't any in the NYC area for me to go to.  I've been to a couple within the last couple of years, but I think I prefer the movie theater experience.

I watched Spectre last night with my wife. It just seemed to drag on the whole time.  There were a couple of redeeming scenes, so it gets 2/5 stars.

Watched "Home" with junior this past weekend (main character voice of Jim Parsons).  It was pretty funny.

had one near where i grew up and there is one in the town we live now.  My best drive in story would be when I closed the car door on my dad's thumb when I got back in the car during intermission.  He thought I had already closed the door and wrapped his hand around frame where both windows were open.  the door completely closed on the thumb.  He had his hand in a bucket of ice for the rest of the movie.  Fractured it.

I passed out during "The Good Dinosaur".  It was pretty meh, even as far as kids/family movies go.  

Also, "The Intern" with DeNiro/Hathaway was pretty terrible.  I thought it was going to be funny, but it was just a shitty rom-com.

Pretty much everything out right now is shit and speaking of shit we watch Zootopia, the movie never pointed out what the actual predators are eating in their "progressive" times?

Next to Captain America Civil War it's the worst fucking movie I've seen in a long time

Thanks for saving me the trouble on this one.  I'll skip it.

Some of our friends are ranting about Zootopia as being a "MUST SEE". :dunno:

 

[snickerd3]

I liked it.  I laughed my ass off several times.

 

[Road Guy]

I couldn't get over the concept of predators not eating the other animals that were put on the earth to be eaten (like bunny's, sheep, gazelles, etc.) Were they eating some type of dietary supplement?

Just glad it only cost me $1.39 to watch it..

...Zootopia, the movie never pointed out what the actual predators are eating in their "progressive" times?

Well duh, they ate meat from the store, just like human progressives.  Not animals!

I did not like that movie, either, mostly because it just sucked and was extremely overrated.

I watched a clip with the sloth at the DMV.  A coworker and I were in tears, because it reminded us of another coworker to a T.

I watched a clip with the sloth at the DMV.  A coworker and I were in tears, because it reminded us of another coworker to a T.

Watched it with mini-Ram (he absolutely loves the sound track, damn  you Shakira) and thought there were quite a few laughs.  The sloth DMV scene was definitely one of the better ones.  There were a couple others like the population size of Bunny Burrow clicking over quickly, the whole sequence at the beginning with the bunny parents talking about giving up their dreams etc.  

RG I thought of that exact same problem with the movie.  I think Dleg is right on this one.  If I remember correctly, when the train passes through Tundra there are fish stores etc.  

Saw The Good Dinosaur.  It was ok, definitely not one of Pixar's best.

Saw X-Men Apocalyse (well 1-hour of it) and not sure I'll make it through the entire movie.  So far it's about as good as a steaming pile of crap.  On the bright side it didn't cost me anything so...

 

[Road Guy]

I thought Disney said Fish were friends not Food?

I did laugh at the sloth part I have to admit (until they drug it out too long)

 

[NJmike PE]

I saw that "The Edge" was on last night. I forgot how good that movie was.

 

[Supe]

Wrecked - an hour of Adrien Brody breathing heavily and whining in a car, coupled with 5 minutes of flashbacks.  What a steaming pile of shit.

 

[Dleg]

I finally got to see last year's Mission: Impossible movie ("Rogue Nation", I think?)  That was a darn good action flick!  It had a twisty plot, plenty of explosions as well as a hot double/triple agent with some quality side boob.

 

[Supe]

Can't beat quality side boob.

 

[snickerd3]

new owners of the drive in raised the price.  They are getting newer movies but still, family outing to see a double feature for $6 (bring our own food) was great.  

 

[einatlanta PhD PE]

Debating whether to see Tarzan or Now You See Me 2. Anyone have a thought on this? Independence day 2 was not bad actually. Went to see it with my daughter last weekend. 

 

[knight1fox3]

My vote would be for NYSM 2.  The first one was pretty awesome.
