July 31, 20232 yr Just now, Shepard Wong said: I was just saying this yesterday. Bring back the intermission. Theaters would love it. Round 2 for the concession stand for 1 showing of a movie. Classic epics that were over 3 hours often had intermissions. When Tarantino did the roadshow version of Hateful 8, he included an intermission. It doesn't hurt the experience at all. Honestly, for me, the last hour of Oppenheimer was really hard to enjoy because I had to piss so bad

Switching film reels was the norm until the 80s, when most theaters went to platter systems. With platters you would splice every reel of the film together and transfer it onto the platter to run in one continuous projection. The classic reel to reel projection was done with 2 projectors for each screen that would alternate back and forth for each reel of the film doing the switches live. Most people never noticed the reel changes.

But when I leave the showing, I am not going to fill up a bucket of popcorn to ride shotgun in my car, and the cup is like 1.5x larger than my cupholders (and I had one spill all over the passenger floorboard and under the seat where the in-floor sub was located) -- to where nevah again!!! This means I get 1 fill up of popcorn and drink where an intermission means they give me more of those for zero dollars (even though both probably only cost them like 37 cents).
August 1, 20232 yr Haunted Mansion was pretty enjoyable. I went in expecting ish because Little Mermaid was so bad. Was interesting to see how they incorporated different parts of the ride into the movie. A decent turn your brain off Disney movie. Of course Disney doesn’t know how to market ish and put a Halloween movie in July a week after Barbenheimer so it won’t make any money.
August 1, 20232 yr Clerks 3 is a decent watch. They brought back all the old characters. Nothing amazing, but if you liked the first 2, you'll probably like this one.

My guess is that it’ll be released into Disney+ in time for Halloween. Not sure it makes sense to release the movie now and hope it does okay, then hope to keep/add subscribers in October. I think having this in theaters in October would’ve made more sense, as you said.

When we were visiting my wife's family in Cairo, Egypt we had a day where everyone wanted to rest and hangout, so me and her dad went to the movie theater. Star Wars Rogue One was out. Right when the rebels were arriving at the Imperial base for an attack, the screen went dark, lights came up and music came over the speaker system: Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic. I thought the projector broke. People stood up immediately. It was the intermission. They must time it because it was a terrible place to stop. They said theaters to intermission for every movie.

August 10, 20232 yr Author Saw an early screening of Gran Turismo. Had no idea it’s based on real events. Story wasn’t anything majorly different from similar underdog tropes from other stuff, but it was done well and the lead actor and the homie from Stranger Things gave solid performances and the racing scenes (of which there was a solid amount) were solid. Also, the times they mixed in video game "style” to the driving, it was done >>>> than Creed III mixed in "anime” to that films sports moments.
August 20, 20232 yr Shoot me but I thought Renfield was a straight up riot. Nic Cage really leaned into the ham with a gusto that cracked me up all movie.

So now I think Im ready to enjoy Unbearable weight and will check it out.

Just adding it since it’s not the same trash he was filming for the past few decades Unbearable Weight is just a fun enjoyable movie if you go in with regular expectations.
