LosMediasBlancas Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Question for anyone who has ever worked at a movie theater. If no one shows up for any of the last showings, do they close and go home early, or do they have to run the films and stay anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Anyone see "Sugar" ? Saw it last night and thought it was a really nice movie and well written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they would want to wear a print down if they don't have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 A few days ago I mentioned in another thread that I would be watching Downfall because Netflix had been suggesting it to me (someone had posted a video clip from the movie). It was a really great movie. It's kind of hard to describe why it was so good. It sort of gave you a view of how Hitler's closest followers viewed him, especially towards the very end of the war right before he killed himself.

Is this the movie with the clip where Hitler is mad at the Cubs/Yankees/ Red Sox/every major league team in every pro sport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I finally saw the unedited version of Waiting. I had seen it before on Comedy Central, but was not done justice that way. Great comedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 Inglorious Basterds was both good and bad. Certain individual scenes were great - the acting and dialogue in the scenes of building tension were done very well. Everything else was a disaster, and the whole thing put together didn't feel like a film at all. Tarantino seems to have lost his was in recent films.

Other than a few well-done scenes of pre-violent tension ( the french house, the basement bar), everything else was laughably stupid dialogue combined with either pointless violence and/or overly blatant attempts at art. It was all just so ham-fisted and blunt, it could have been written by a 12 year old. Which is why it was so odd that SOME scenes, usually when they had less dialogue and more non-verbal acting, were so well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 I couldn't disagree more. I was thoroughly entertained and engrossed in each scene from beginning to end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Pulp Fiction a lot, and Reservoir Dogs was good. Kill Bill movies were terrible, and this one was only a little better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santo=dorf Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 (edited) I finally saw the unedited version of Waiting. I had seen it before on Comedy Central, but was not done justice that way. Great comedy. Yeah, it's sooooo funny to see people showing off their genetalia and contaminating people's food. Why did everyone flip out when that Domino's video was released?

Im sure you hated road trip because of the food contamination scene at the truck stop as well. And Super Troopers. That movie was also horrible because of the scene where the fake burger joint spit in the cops burger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The claim was made that the movie about food service is especially funny if you've ever work at (a real life) restaurant. That's not the only time I've seen that claim made. 2. Super Troopers and Road Trip weren't movies about the food service industry. 3. Super Troopers and Road Trip (American Pie 2.5) weren't good movies because they weren't that funny. 4. You fail.

FlaSoxxJim Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Went and saw Ponyo yesterday. Absolutely terrific, beautiful film. I need to search out all of Hayao Miyazaki's stuff, I think Princess Mononoke is the only other film of his I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
