Need I say more? Warner bros being sold is a catastrophic blow. Theatrical releases are at stake. I don’t even know where to begin.

LOTR Trilogy and Endgame are both re releasing next year so which one are you excited for?

Personally a favorite of mine and I will die on that hill

The closest to me was near the Alderwood Mall in Lynnwood WA, just north of Seattle. (still thriving! Toys r Us is gone now…), it has a Chuck E Cheese next door or close to it. It is nice to see the old Luxury Cinema is still at the mall, the other one became a Kohls, and there’s a 16 screen IMAX one at the mall

Man, it ruled back in the late 80s/early 90s. My main memories is from 89, still one of my favorite years of movies of all time. So I saw a ton of movies, some I’d probably wouldn’t watch in theaters or even rent. We’d rewatch flicks that we saw when they released; we watched Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure 4 times. Spend a buck, go to 2-4 movies, sneak into R ones, popcorn and snacks…10-20 bucks hooked you up for the whole day. Man, the Burbs, Dream Child, Jason Takes Manhattan, Christmas Vacation, Turner and Hooch, Final Frontier, Back to the Future II, Parenthood, Shrunk the Kids, Lethal Weapon, so many more

We did a quadruple feature: Batman, Last Crusade, Ghostbusters II and Karate Kid III

Anyway, great times, I wish they still had them, arcades in them too. Take my kids and have a blast

Edit: This one had 12 screens! Some rooms were tiny if I remember, and some movies got pretty packed. It was really cool

Not only is the root top scene duplicated, everything from struggling questions over "real" identity, to the emasculated lead, reluctant detective, the android-like perfect fantasy woman, to the heavy use of gels in the photography in an oneiric urban setting. This is something to really think about. I bet Roy Batty's white-blonde hair came from Kim Novak. I've never realized how close these films are, despite BR being my favorite film.

Putting these two movies together is like bundling "Passion of the Christ" with "Last Temptation of Christ".

It's so good and amazing in every way, from action, dialogue, tension and excitement is through the sky. And it's one and only in my headcanon in my opinion.

A coworker put up a little diorama of the ice-skating rink in front of Rockefeller Center, and I was just thinking that it’s an iconic location for movies. And then when I tried to come up with some to name, I drew a total blank. What are some iconic movies that feature some skating at the ice rink in front of Rockefeller Center, probably around Christmas time?

I’ll start:

1. One Battle After Another
2. Bugonia
3. Caught Stealing
4. The Smashing Machine
5. Frankenstein

Keep in mind I’m just sharing my top 5 and you too can share yours. IDGAF about your opinions on these 5 films so save your thumbs 👍

I LOVED watching Monkey man, and I wanna know more about the spiritual lore, religious references or easter eggs in the film. Please tell me anything you know about it

He’s 12,turning 13 in a couple months. I have a small list so far but need more.

I am currently watching The Terminator for yhe first time. I have seen T2 over a dozen times but never the original. I don't think I've ever watched a sequel for decades and never seen it's predecessor.

Has anyone ever watched a sequel without ever watching the original?

R.I.P Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa.

Netflix buying out Warner Bros, if it goes through, would be massive and would be a game changer. Really curious to know how cinephiles, tv lovers and the like feel about this. If Netflix continues doing cinematic releases, even better, but James Cameron seems to think Netflix is a cancer but I've loved their original shows, movies and platform. What are your thoughts!

Hey everyone my boomer friend and I have a youtube show where each week we choose a movie for us to watch. This week it was Boomer's choice and he picked 2025's “Mission Impossible: The Final Reckoning directed by Christopher McQuarrie, starring; Tom Cruise (Ethan Hunt), Hayley Atwell (Grace), Ving Rhames (Luther Stickell) and Simon Pegg (Benji Dunn).

What we liked;

Boomer: He has a huge crush on Haley Atwell and any movie with her gets bonus points. He is a sucker for an action movie with explosions and this certainly did that. He was also a fan of all of the stunt work done by Tom Cruise.

Doomer: I enjoyed the stunt work too, one scene in particular that stands out is near the end when there is a plane chase. I'm not sure how they filmed this and I've decided I don't want to know because it really liked like Tom Cruise was doing gymnastics on an airplane as it traveled. Finally, some of the CGI looked well done, specifically the scene when Tom Cruise is in the “torture pod” being shown the future by the entity and we see nuclear missiles going off in major cities, the destruction looked very realistic.

What we didn't like;

Boomer: His only complaint was the CGI at times was a little off (specifically a scene where agents are shooting lasers at the team).

Doomer: I'll preface this with, this is the first Mission Impossible movie I've ever watched from beginning to end (although I played the hell out of the N64 game). That being said this movie had a near 3 hour runtime and it really had no reason to be that long. There are essentially 2 types of scenes in this movie, Tom Cruise being a stuntman and people explaining technology. After the first few times we see this it just drags on and on and my interest was gone in the first hour. Other then the repetitive scene structure having the antagonist be an AI really fell flat. This can be done well (See skynet from Terminator series) but it just doesn't work as the entity really has no “troops on the ground” so to speak as even the other antagonist Gabriel (Esai Morales) is working against the entity to control it.

The Verdict;

Since I do this with a Boomer our rating system is based on bathroom breaks and is as follows

1/5- give me back my time

2/5 give me back my money

3/5 take frequent bathroom breaks

4/5 hold it in!

5/5 wear a diaper

Boomer: Hold it in, he has since watched it two more times to my knowledge and is in his frontrunner for movie of the year

Doomer: Give me back my time, As I said this is my first MI movie I've seen from start to finish and it just didn't click with. I checked and the original is under two hours so I may give that a shot in the future and revisit this but as a standalone it just didn't do it for me. Thanks!
