Quick thing:   I am not going to be around for a bit. Non-Board Personal issues, and I need some time. I will get the emojis up for next weekend, and run the Cas of the Cas Games (Sign Up For Them! Play the Change). If you need anything big, PM me. Otherwise @XXR You Ok Annie and @ZeeSoh and @Eric Crowe got this covered.

MODERATION:   Since we have like 3500 MCU threads, I’m just gonna post this here in hopes that everyone sees it, so that I don’t have to post it like 3500 times individually and spam all the threads:   When you’re talking about the MCU, please make sure that you’re talking specifically about that title in that thread. I.e; Dr Strange Thread is for Dr Strange.    And if you want to reference any other property, especially if it isn’t out yet, please use the spoiler t

Eh, I disagree that it's a bad month. There's a bunch of low-key stuff that looks to be worth seeing like Thoroughbreds or Love, Simon or Unsane or Isle of Dogs. Unfortunately, they're not the kinds of movies that a large portion of BOT generally pays attention to for the most part, so we end up with things like Tomb Raider reboots or Pacific Rim sequels that no one was really asking for dominating the discussion.

 

This is only true if these movies are releasing near people. Or releasing at all, in my case. Isle of Dogs isn't out till May here. 

 

Which leaves me with the other dreadful looking March movies.

Complain to your local distributors.

I actually agree that popular good movies lighten up the atmosphere here, given that it's a movie forum. This month is so sparse for films, everything that is coming out is going to bomb, so we fight over other stuff.

It's a great month for movies...we've got lots and LOTS of premier material mixed in with some low cost remakes and sequels...there are lots of options for all sorts of movie goers...comedy, animated, book adaptations, rom-com, action, horror, sci-fi, religious, fantasy, etc...

 

If I had Movie Pass (and no family commitments), I could live at theaters all weekend - there are at least 3 releases every weekend.  It's perfect, just maybe not perfect to watch HUGE runs...but we could have lots of little profitable runs for a lot of movies with spring break holidays helping to give everything a bump...

Just praying Death of Stalin is coming to a theater in my area at some point.

 

I'm not very excited for much at all until September. I'm sad about it. A couple thongs here and there

 

Aren't you...

 

forgetting something...

There has to be a word or phrase at this point for things or ideas that only become notable because so many people are outraged at their existence.

The Internet?

Not sure what films you're referring to... the only film I'm interested in this month is the new lynne ramsay movie. The expensive studio stuff all looks shit.

Yeah, looking through the release schedule and BOM and this month is proper garbage. There are a few limited releases that look cool but other than that, it's fucking rough.

Out of curiosity, do you have any interest in Love, Simon?

Saw on BOM that Death of Stalin is having its limited launch in the U.S. this weekend. Was it even at all promoted? I feel like IFC is dumping it, which makes no sense. Still don't get why they didn't put it out in the fall, if nothing else so they'd get an easy adapted screenplay nomination.

At least April looks good even outside of Avengers now being there. I'll see A Quiet Place, Tully, I Feel Pretty, Rampage, maybe Blockers if I hear it's funny (the trailers haven't really been so, though that butt-chugging bit at the end always gets big laughs when I've seen it at the movies).

IFC pretty much dumps everything. More than half their releases are VOD dumps. That Boyhood afterglow didn't last long.
