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.
Moviepass has stopped working in at least a few AMC theaters: [link]
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.
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.
Zenkitty, I was wondering the same thing.

Also a Roy Moore supporter.
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!
I just listened to the Fresh Air interview with PT Anderson, and unless I missed it, neither of them ever said Vicky Krieps's name! Even after he said Alma is the protagonist of the movie. Uggghhhh.
