The one I am listening to now has June Thomas and Dan Kois, both of whom I really like

Buffista Movies Across the 8th Dimension!
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
To give him some credit, I think he knows that he often comes across like a pompous windbag, but it's like he can't help himself. I like Dana Stevens and Julia Turner a lot! If only they could ditch him and get one of their guests in that third chair instead. SIGH.
Agreed and agreed. I would love June, but they should bring in Aisha Harris or someone else not white.
Stephen Metcalf is a friend of a friend, which I always remember about three seconds before opening my mouth to state my opinion of his podcast in front of her.
Haha!
I guess this isn't the podcast thread, huh?

Does Alamo own Moviepass?
I thought they were partners, but maybe I'm misremembering. Regardless, I don't see how it's a sustainable business model so I avoid it anyway, like Uber. But again, I see a lot for free and can also go during the day when it's much cheaper.

I've been holding off on Moviepass because I'm skeptical and have no smartphone, but I see 2-3 movies a month, mostly at my local Malco theater that apparently accepts it. Might be worth looking into if it's card-based and I'd just be skipping the look-up-showtimes/reserve-tickets-via-phone aspect.
Cinemark's CEO contributed roughly $10k in support of Proposition 8 in California, so it'll be a cold day in Hell before that company sees a penny of my money even if the movie club becomes applicable to my local theaters.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Moviepass has stopped working in at least a few AMC theaters: [link]

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I finally saw The Shape of Water. It was delightful. I loved all the detailed visual elements. It's probably a movie that would reward rewatching, although I don't know that I'll do so in the theater.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I've been avoiding seeing the shape of water because I'm afraid the villain is going to make me so upset it's going to overshadow everything else in the movie for me. Is he truly sickeningly awful? Is there a happy ending despite him? I want Happy Endings dammit. When I want real life I watch the news.

Zenkitty,
The villian is truly awful, but he also thinks he's the good guy.
The ending is mostly happy if you truly want to know.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Zenkitty, I was wondering the same thing.

The people I know who have moviepass love it. Maybe getting it encourage us to see more movies?
Sophia, I also love PCCH and Linda Holmes!
