Re: movies
For some reason I first thought you meant Flix; I do the $20/month AMC and will hit up AMC 17 (free Imax is nice). I've not been to Kan Kan, do they have one of those special dolby rooms there, too? I probably need to keep an eye on them for smaller releases and older showings, short bike ride. Good call.ghostrunner wrote: ↑August 25 22, 11:59 amKan Kan? That place is great.

Re: movies
2 of the screens are a bit small but it's a nice joint and they really do a great job. They film their own intros for some of the movies.
I have the AMC A-list thing but should probably turn it off. I like to support theaters though, even if it is a corp.

3000 Years of Longing
Really different than what I expected from the guy that did Thunderdome and Babe: Pig in the City.
I wasn't immediately blown away but it was interesting. I'll be curious what @ghostrunner has to say about it.
No plot spoilers but I know some like to go in totally blind.

Re: movies
Seemed like the effects scaled down as it went. I loved the first flashback scene and I suppose I did hope for more like that once I saw it. Though there was also a theme of magic being less necessary and present over time.vinsanity wrote: ↑August 25 22, 8:59 pm3000 Years of Longing

I think the ending bugged me a bit just because it felt like it had 3 of them. Maybe Miller got up in his thoughts and feelings writing this one and wasn't sure how to end it. Still enjoyed it though. Honestly surprised it got made, because it's not a big action movie but clearly cost some money. But I guess if you deliver Fury Road you get some favors. Glad he was able to take advantage.

Re: movies
Cheap day at the movies coming up if you have a participating theater:
Thinking about going to see Jaws on the big screen, since there's nothing else playing at AMC that day that I'm interested in

Re: movies
I respectfully disagree. This is the only way I'm interested in this, though honestly the old one with Aaron Paul has got to be plenty for this. I just couldn't picture Al getting serious about anything like this. It's gotta be silly. Sometimes too stupid to be funny. Sometimes absolutely hilarious: that's Weird Al. My kids are in a big Weird phase right now. It's fun. Still too many food songs though. God I love Weird Al.
Your comment made me think of his battle with Jenna on 30 Rock.

Re: movies
i love weird al too and im not expecting it to be super serious but at the same time, just instantly from the trailer i know so much is [expletive]. i dont think his parents were that mean, dr. demento wasn't int eh audience when he was "found" (Al was sending demento his tapes), all the madonna stuff, pushing away the band...all that stuff is just tropes to make something that weird isn't/wasnt. i realize there's gotta be drama, and this could be some meta 4d chess on the whole movie biography thing and al's getting a good laugh but i dunno. al's obviously involved in it so i respect it, and some actors i enjoy etc, but it just comes off as a drunk history episode to me.BottenFieldofDreams wrote: ↑August 29 22, 1:53 pmI respectfully disagree.

my drunk history claim would seem to have some merit as looking this up on wikipedia and the movie is produced by funny or die.
