    Politics and Jerking off Journalists (as if they're not the biggest propagandists on God's Green Earth) Aside,

    Two states have the manpower, logistics capabilities, weapons inventory, manufacturing strength, and energy supplies to go all the way across the country and take over the capitol? 2 states vs 48. Yea. Ok, Garfield. He must think the US is England.  

     

    It wasn’t 2 states vs 48. It was mentioned that other states had seceded as well, even if not part of the WF. Point being it wasn’t just two dissenting states up against a powerful and united 48. The established govt in DC was crumbling under a third term president whose cabinet and generals were turning angainst, and most of the unaffected population were indifferent, like the parents in Colorado/ Missouri.

    Hmm. May have to see it just to have an opinion on where I stand. I feel like this movie will get a lot of your reactions but also a lot of eric's.

    It’s the best kind of cinema IMO. Everyone has a strong opinion and different interpretation. It demands discussion whether you’re angry or inspired. I think even the conversation of “what *should an American Civil War look like?” the film is sparkling only adds weight and value to it. I was never looking for this film to confirm or condemn a political ideology. I like what it was able to achieve without that.

    Honestly if I had my own family, the sad unfortunate truth is I don't think I would go to the movies frequently at all. It's just too expensive and streaming has made it easier for families to wait for a film at home rather than spend loads of money on a single IMAX ticket that cost almost $20 each In my city. 

     

    I recently found some old ticket stubs from 2012 & a 2D ticket was like $8 at one of my local theaters. Now it's $15 for 2D & $18 for IMAX .That really adds up. I just can't blame people for being picky these days. Growing up in the 90s tickets were just so cheap, we were heading to the movies every weekend for family time. Now everyone I know barely goes unless it's some event type thing like Barbenheimer or Dune. 

     

    I'll always prefer the theater experience but again, I understand why others don't. 


    I guess it also depends on how often you frequent the theater. I pay $25 a month for my AMC A-List pass, which is $2 cheaper than my current Netflix subscription, and have seen 17 films this year, mostly in Dolby, and spent an average of $5.88 a ticket so far (4 monthly payments x $25), which will keep averaging down as I see more films this month. 
     

    My point being, if theatergoing is an activity someone wants to invest time in it doesn’t need to be expensive in 2024, and in fact I’m spending significantly less than I did in 2008 when I was at the theater all summer long, and without a guaranteed seat.

    Felt good about this one for a while. Thought Bullet Train was supremely lame, but the Gosling/Blunt duo here looked so much more fun than anything in the last 3 Leitch movies. Not as bullish as i was before w/ $70m, but I can see it hitting $55-60m OW pretty easily. May is pretty much empty until Furiosa, so I could see it getting some good legs too

     

    Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and IF are released between. May has at least one 100m+ tentpole each weekend. It will lose PLF's it's second weekend and bleed more screens/showings in the subsequent weeks. That being said, I think it will likely still have decent legs given the early reception, but I don't think it's quite the same barren landscape as, say, right now for Dune2 and KFP4.
