Yeah.... it would be easier than sneaking a 6-pack in my cargo shorts.

easier yes. cheaper no. A pint of Old Harper's will do it too.

There's no cinema pub around you? We've taken my 3 year old to the cinema pub, which is essentially a sit down restaurant with a screen.

Dude, his big theater in on GUAM.

I don't like the Madagascar movies and I don't really like the Peguins of Madagascar TV show. It seems a special hell to spend full price to see it in a movie theater.

Well, no, but there was a time, back in 1998-99 when my roommate was managing the old Matsumoto theater (which reopened with the bold claim "No More Rats!"), when he would invite all his friends and the friends of his employees to preview Tuesdays, when we would set up blenders in the lobby and coolers full of beer and have a raging party for every movie that came through that year (or around that year). Highlights were Anaconda, one of the Austin Powers movies, and I can't remember the others (far too drunk).

I was chatting at work yesterday and they couldn't believe that the nearest theater to our house was about 20 miles away... I thought of this comment that whole conversation and chuckled internally.

We watched the 2nd Hunger Games last night in preparation to go to watch the 3rd one this week at the movies. I think I'll probably be disappointed with the third but the first two have been decent so far. I love Donald Sutherland when he plays a skeevy creepy dude.

my sister saw the 3rd one...if you are a fan of the 3rd book you will be disappointed with the 3rd movie she said.

 

[engineergurl]

IIRC I didn't care for the third book as much as the other two, but I read that right before 50 Shades series so it might have just paled in comparison to that lol

 

[csb]

I looooooved the third book.

 

[Road Guy]

The third book is so different from the other two, I've wondered how they are going to manage that in the movies.

what I read in the book is that cat basically becomes a backstory and isn't really even the focus of the majority of the third book, I wonder how that will sit with all the crazy teenage fans

they take lots of liberties according to my sister.

I've been waiting for my cousin to finish the 3 books my sister lent her awhile back before I read them. Although now that we pay the library taxes I could just borrow them from there.

We're going to wait and see it sometime during the holidays, however I am going to the midnight showing of the hobbit something I promised my daughter we would do

 

[engineergurl]

I was wondering how they were going to handle Hoffman's death in real life in the movie... think I'll google that

A theater by my sister is doing a hobbit marathon leading up to the midnight showing of the last hobbit movie.

 

[knight1fox3]

They made a book out of the Hunger Games movies? :huh:

 

[MetsFan]

Man, I read the book a couple of years ago now and I can barely remember what happens in the 3rd book besides how it ends. I'll have to find a synopsis somewhere

 

[Road Guy]

rented 22 Jump Street- God Awful turned it off about halfway through? - only remotely funny part was when dough cop realized he had relations with Ice-T's daughter.

& I am usually easy to please with dumb comedies

 

[Ramnares P.E.]

Anyone actually going to the theater to catch Terminator Genisys or just going to wait for the stream/dvd?

 

[Dleg]

I saw "Interstellar" this past weekend. Pretty good sci-fi movie, IMO. Very interesting on the science/physics side, and also very engaging on the personal and emotional side. And, at times, pretty exciting. Long as hell, though, but it passed well (unlike the last Transformers movie, where I was checking my watch every 5 minutes).

Lots of funny butthurt on the internet about the movie, too, from science writers and such. But don't read any of that until you have seen it, because the movie is extremely spoiler-vulnerable.
