I'm going to use my movie pass every day I can now.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

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.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I cancelled mine just today and signed up for AMC Stubs A-List instead: [link]
It's double the MoviePass fee but since my main go-to theater is a 22 screen AMC multiplex where I average 3-4 films a month, it's still totally worthwhile. You can watch up to 3 films a week (so 12/mo max, which is plenty) including IMAX, 3D, and repeat viewings. Best of all, you can reserve tickets in advance.
My MoviePass subscription is paid for another week, so I may try to squeeze in viewings for a couple of films that are only playing in a non-AMC small neighborhood indie theater (I've been meaning to watch Leave No Trace before it disappears off the screen).

Hmm, I'd thought the MoviePass app stopped working as of this morning. Is it just e-ticketing that's still going?
I only got my card within the last two months, so I fell a bit short of getting my yearly subscription cost in movie tickets. Though it did motivate me to see different movies rather than just repeats of the ones I really liked, which I consider a bonus.

Run, don't walk, to see Leave No Trace if it's playing in your city. I just came back from it and gosh, it just bowled me over. It's about a father and an adolescent daughter living off grid in an Oregon national park, anchored by a pair of quiet but extraordinary, naturalistic performances by Ben Foster as the dad and this young New Zealand actress named Thomasin McKenzie as the daughter. It's tender and heartbreaking, and is about how sometimes, we can't heal our loved one's wounds for all the love we bear them, about finding one's voice, about empathy, and about collective kindness of a community. Even if I hadn't known this was made by Debra Granik, I would have recognized the stamp of the director who made Winter's Bone.

Matt - my card says it is working everywhere, but I went to an e-ticket theater just to be sure. I plan to go see something else tomorrow.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Me too! And fuck the credits scenes. I don't need that kind of negativity. (Although hilariously, several people in the theater with me apparently hadn't seen Infinity War.)

You should be a motivational speaker!

Just watched Wind River on Netflix. Sure, it came on my radar because of Jeremy Renner, but damn, that was a good movie. One of the core themes is strong women. It tells some truths about grief, too. And boy, does it show some truths about the land out here in the west, especially the parts where hardly anybody lives.
