You going to Epcot to see LEGEND KURT RUSSELL tell the story of Christmas this weekend?

It definitely would be the coolest retelling of the birth of our Lord and Savior.

I dunno, Matt Bomer did a great job the other week. At the end after he took his bow this one woman in the audience screamed in delight and he actually acknowledged her. Maybe she held out hope that he would whip out his Magic Mike moves.

I had an interesting dream about Rampage, it was that Rampage was trading places with Fantastic Beasts and Rampage was secretly JL with Superman as the monkey. The entire film is JL with heavy white color grading and crappy snow effects....

 

The film opened to 93.7M on it's opening.

 

I have strange strange BO dreams

That one kinda sucks. I mean when it came to porn, I’m more of a Christy Mack, Darcie Dolce, or Mia Markova or even a Jayden Jaymes. But I think I might have seen her stuff. 

 

On a real note, no matter what sex or profession Suicide isn’t the answer.

I'm so pumped after the Jurassic World trailer, and excited for the Battle Angel trailer! Now I just need the Megalodon trailer!

It would seem Studio Movie Grill's business model is the future for movie theaters. They had record attendance this year.

I'm still waiting for NEO to get a dine in theater. There's a new "luxury" theater opening in the spring off 480/271 but I don't think they're going to be one.

There's a plethora of movie grills and dine-in theaters in DFW.  Beyond that the rest have switched to the reserved seating model.

 

It definitely seems like theaters are moving to a model that focuses less on mass attendance and more on getting the people who do attend to spend more.  So it's more of a luxury night out sort of thing.

 

There's quite a few niche theaters in DFW that try to offer some sort of extra to the viewing experience to differentiate from how many theaters there are in the metroplex.  Things like the Alamo Drafthouse, Dome and 70mm IMAX, a place called Look Cinema that has a variety of different seating styles, a bowling theater and so forth all seem to attract a healthy amount of audiences (even with 'flop' movies)

Wasn't crazy about the first episode but after that thought it was great.

I'm not really a fan of the dine-in theater experience because 1) it's way too pricey and 2) you always have waiters going all over the place taking orders and stuff as the movie is on. Not ideal if it's a movie you really want to see for the first time.

Here here! It incentivizes sitting further up front to avoid waiters.

I admit to being curious about the concept, as we're going to be getting a third multiplex in the region that has this concept and this one will be relatively close to me (the other two are a Studio Movie Grill up in Roseville and the Palladio Luxe [operated by Cinema West] up in Folsom).  So I'm curious to see what it's like. 

 

But definitely not for first viewing, no.
