I was very strictly not allowed to watch pg-13s as a kid, but was obsessed with dinosaurs and begged and begged my mom to watch it. Then I watched part of it at like 6 at a friends house wo her knowledge and was absolutely terrified and went back to Barney lmao. 

 

Was Barney much better though ....

I almost never rewatch movies. My fav movie is probably Buffalo 66. I watched it so many years ago and i loved so much the feeling it gave me that i never want to rewatch it and lose that feeling

Hey, at least there was also Land Before Time and it’s 62 subsequent sequels in the 90s to tide me over before I could watch JP.

Re: repeat viewings, 2 is my max and I'm likely gonna keep that way. Even seeing a movie more than 5 times in theaters sounds egregious, espeically when there's always something new out every week. If you're watching something in theaters in the double digits, go read a book, kiss a girl, do...literally anything. It's just absurd.  

nah it’s not. It’s called being a fan. 
 

the amount of movies I wish I’d seen tons more times in theatres is colossal. 
 

I admire anybody who goes to see something they’re into or love over and over.  Doesn’t get any better.

I watched the shit out of the sequels as a kid. During the more boring times of Covid i revisited a few of them out of nostalgia and ... yeah, these are some BAD movies, even for kids movies standards. Not every one is horrible, but most of them are. But as a kid, i loved all of them.

 

First one is legit a great movie though. 

[MovieMan89]

I was shocked to lesrn Haunted Mansion is next week. I 100% thought that was October or something. Did Disney run out of money to market it?

This is a pretty inconsequential stat but if Barbie reaches $150M, it would be the shortest movie to pass that mark (caveat that Mario would have gotten there if it had a traditional 3-day).

damn...

 

I would have thought other movies with runtimes under two hours would have done it too. But nope, I guess. Incredibles 2 is 118 minutes though.

[MovieMan89]

It’s odd how much early 90s pop culture was so dinosaur-centric. No wonder I was so into them as a kid.

SAG-AFTRA strike made it's premiere go mostly unnoticed outside of the brief Twitter mention of the dystopian hellscape that was the Disney park staff showing up. Outside of that, they've been keeping the release low key for some reason despite early positive buzz.

[cannastop]

Movies I plan to see:

Oppenheimer

Wish
Past Lives (if it gets an awards re-release push)
The Boy and the Heron

I've been getting that stupid State Farm tie-in commercial before every movie. And also the trailer a few times. Even outside of that, I feel like promotion is doing fine for me, at least within my Disney fandom circles.

Yeah, I was particularly surprised that The Lion King 2019 and Beauty and the Beast 2017 are longer than Barbie. Why was Beauty and the Beast 129 minutes??

I always rewatch films, if I love films. Especially 90’s films and horror. Nostalgia & quality.
 

Less likely to watch recent films more than once, unless they’re amazing, horror or in franchises that I love. 
 

Us horror fans are a different breed though. I dislike some of the Friday, Nightmare & Halloween films, but I’ve still seen them countless times rewatching the whole franchises lol
