Unless there is some kind of sexual favour after. That would complete the night.

Very true, but certainly not in my present company as it is family. But I will be satisfied if Santana/New York can arrange for Claire Holt. Edited October 6, 2013 by 4815162342

Y'all need to try some real Mexican food. I'd invite y'all and treat you to the food of my people. You miss out on so much. :|

Always hit the local places

I'm awfully tempted to see it again this week in Dolby Atmos.

 

Next weekend. Lincoln Square IMAX 3D.

[Michael Gary Scott]

Seeing it monday in imax 3d

I really want a fucking Donut. 

 

NAO!

[Incarnadine]

As someone who was never been drunk does shitty food taste better when you are drunk?

Absolutely. There is a reason the only time you ever see a Denny's packed is right after the bars close.

The food tastes better, the people look better, your jokes are funnier. The world is your oyster

Everything is better. Even Gravity gets more intense when you're drunk.

 

Honestly, I get a bit of anxiety when drinking, my heart rate picks up a bit when I'm drunk and I'm not particularly fond of that feeling. I'd probably panic and throw up at some point during Gravity if drunk and wearing 3D glasses

On a different note, my parents liked but didn't love Gravity. My dad thinks MoS was better while my mom thought STID was better.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

I loved MOS, I doubt I will like Gravity more. But hopefully I like Gravity a lot more than STID.

Those of you who have seen Gravity which I hope to see soon, how's the story? No spoilers but is it something that will hold up when it's on HBO?

It's very simple, but efficient. No fluff, no fat, no pointless storylines going on. That's part of what makes it refreshing.

Captain Phillips has some sneaks this weekend I see.

Gas station donuts are great

 

We are supposed to be sitting in a coffee shop talking about movies, not in a movie forum talking about coffee & doughnuts.

No numbers for CAPTAIN PHILLIPS? Opening in 800 theaters, can it at least do $3M?

Sneak peaks don't have numbers usually.

You will love it more in 3D. 3D makes it 100X better.

It will hold up on HBO, but it is a movie meant to be seen on the big screen in 3D. That is part of the marvel for the film. This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

Post-Mortem:

 

Very entertaining, very thrilling, a total technical beast of an adrenaline roller coaster.

 

But those people screaming "SaBu for OSCAR!" *cough*Futurist*cough* need to be quiet, because the acting is fine and serviceable and fits within the film but it's nothing remotely near the yearly elite. Bullock and Clooney do very well but this is not a movie about the actors acting for the gold, but about the instrinsic, instinctual, primal fight for survival amidst a technological catastrophe and simply being in an adrenaline rush and panting and breathing and yelping is not a ticket to the podium. This is just me assaulting the Oscar crazies, in no means a slight on the film, which is terrific pure popcorn entertainment. 

My two quibbles of note with the film is that some of the emotional bits in the second half are too forced in. To steal from another Ed Harris space disaster movie, Gravity tries very hard to fit some emotional square pegs into character round holes, and while it manages it, it causes some grating. Also the music in the final sequence gets far far too loud to the point it drowns itself out and you can't appreciate it.
