Movies - General Discussion

Was it good?

[Marko69]

Yes it was. Must admit though, when Anakin was sliding down into that fire, the eyes were moist.

Oh, you mean Oppenheimer? I thought it was brilliant. Can't critique it like you guys critique movies, but definitely recommend it. Not sure about cinema volumes in the USA or Africa but it was feckin LAF here.

That’s great. Everyone is raving about it. I can’t wait to see it

I’ve been recommended to watch a couple old WW2 movies. “Das Boot”, “Come and See”, and “Downfall.” Anyone seen those? Adding those to the watchlist. Nervous about Das Boot if it’s extremely claustrophobic.

…

Sounds like Barbenheimer was a huge success this weekend. $300M+ US box office combined for the two movies. Who needs MCU anymore… pffff.
Oppenheimer sold out at 1:50pm and 2:50pm at my local theater. 6pm basically sold out. Perhaps beats 80/ 90 degrees weather.

The Sound of Freedom is crushing it as well at the box office. I guess people do care

It was the first movie I have seen in a theater in probably 10 years. I thought it was a pretty good movie (although sad). I sure as hell didn't notice any Q-anon or any of that crap the loony left are cryng about.

It won’t be out here until August and people are already buying out the tickets. Human trafficking in Africa is gigantic and locals are sick of it. I can’t wait to see it

Anybody else have to watch with tv with closed captioning because audio on television is for shit also?

It got better for us when I added a center channel but it can still be a struggle.

Downfall is very good. It's in German though so unless you speak it you will need close caption on.

Old gag when someone is going to see a movie and doesn't want to know the ending you would say the butler did it. A nod to old murder mystery stories.
