Anything Goes 30: Topicality Not Found

[Sarava]

I thought it was awesome

 

[ChiHawks10]

I was a big big fan. It’s definitely something a little different, so I’m not surprised it has some people torn. That’s fine, though.

You were a big fan? So did Rooh change your mind?

And no, I haven't seen it yet. Probably won't have time until next week sometime.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

I am going to do what I always do

I will wait for it to come out on DVD

Hahah oops, guess I said that wrong!

I actually get to see it again already tonight because I know someone that wants to go. I’m glad, because I wanted to see it again for sure.

Different experience unless you have a 70 inch 4k TV and amazing audio system for it. IMO.

Just wait for it to come out at like LaGrange Theater. I see a lot of movies there. You can go see a movie for like $6, and a couple can go and get popcorn and a drink and it's a $25 date night.

Meh

I just don't like theater experience

Since 2003 the movies I have gone to theater to see

Dawn of the Dead (Matinee)
Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith
Iron Man 2

SW and IM2 someone else bought tickets and invited me to go so that is only reason I went

I get it. I hate going when you're crowded shoulder to shoulder with people. Every seat is filled. That's why I usually wait a week or two, at least, if it's a movie I really want to see in theaters. And I think I've been to like one movie ever at LaGrange where it wasn't borderline empty. It's usually 15-20 people in the room, at most.

 

[Sarava]

I enjoy theatres, but I was thinking...and I think the last movie I saw a t a theatre was Rogue One. So it's been a year. Usually I go more often than that. It's just been a hectic year I guess.

 

[Blue Liner]

Last movie I saw in the theater was "The Force Awakens" and the next one I see with be "The Last Jedi". I only go to theater when it's something I really, really want to see. Doesn't happen that often.

 

[IU Hawks fan]

I went, was the 1st movie I saw in theaters since Sausage Party my last week of unemployment in August of last year on a half price Tuesday

I just never go to movies. Wouldn't have gone to this if my GF didn't drag me.

 

[ChiHawks10]

I've seen about half a dozen in theaters on "date nights" with my GF in the past year, probably. And it's always either Hollywood Boulevard(it's 5 mins from our house in Bolingbrook) or LaGrange.

I just saw The Mountain Between Us a couple weeks ago at LaGrange. I liked that movie, although it was probably middle of the pack as far as reviews go. But I like Idris Elba, so I could be being a little biased.

 

[hawksrule]

Is anyone other than major corporations against net neutrality? Serious question.

I haven’t seen one good argument in favor of repeal.

 

[hawksrule]

I think any major tech company is against as well ie Google, Netflix, etc.

Anyone who thinks the Internet isn't a basic utility is insane.

Bingo.

Feel like Star Wars could make a terrible movie and people would love it for nostalgia alone

We have two examples of terrible Star Wars movies and people don't love them (Episode I and Episode II)

Nostalgia has certainly not helped Episode One nearly 20 years after fact ,, Infact almost everyone finds it cringeworthy and worse then they remembered watching it now

Revenge of the Sith was only prequel that wasn't terrible

I agree with all this. Episodes 1&2 just weren't very good. They're miles behind epsiodes 3-8 and even Rogue One.

I have a 5 and 9 year old so I see almost every animated movie and super hero movie. Thor: Ragnarok was excellent.

 

[Easy E]

I turned off Ep1 when they get to pod racing....unwatchable IMO.

Agreed. Even if every superhero movie ends the same exact way, it was really entertaining.

Yes it was.

Well you turned off the best part haha

This movie is super weird in that respect, as far as ratings go. This is getting some really bad reviews from fans. Seems like s polarizing movie. You either like it a lot or like it very little.

On the other hand, critics love it.

How often does that happen? Makes me believe the movie is well done, but the way it’s told has Star Wars fans split. It’s an odd dynamic. So if someone don’t like it, it would indicate it’s not not that it’s poorly directed like 1 , 2, or 3, but rather that you’re they’re not pleased about the direction of the trilogy.

The last movie I saw in theaters before TLJ was IT at a nice little old school cinema in downtown Downers Grove called the Tivoli. Old school organ before the show and everything. It's neat.

I’ve never seen a Star Wars since the first three during my childhood, but I may get dragged to it this weekend. Will I be lost or can you pick up the storyline fairly easily? I need to know whether to bring my kindle.

Just do a quick google search of what to know and read a brief arricle quick. You’d be fine without that, but it may help clarify some things.

SMG in Wheaton or Ipic is 1000x better than HB. Those shitty office chairs ::shiver::

Ipic is pretty pricey tho.
