Movie passes? I used to get those, why does my current employer have to be so cheap? Isn’t it sad that even when I did get them regularly there really wasn’t much I wanted to see? (at least at the chains like Regal)

Don’t I hate going to the cinema because people act like buttheads with their texting and talking, and some of the damn theaters have such thin walls that the sound from the movie next door bleeds over?

Aren’t I glad the one I go to mostly is new and has good soundproofing, huge seats, and lots of leg room, and I can walk to it? Does it make the ticket price worth it? Sorta, but do they actually have movies I want to see regularly for that price?

Don’t I look like this?
Wait, some mornings arent I more like this?
Crap, that’s what I forgot, I am only 40+ through the AFI list–anyone got some corn for popping I could borrow?
Similar to the fantastic book threads, should I make a movie thread/game? On the list I am working from there are only ~160 or so films, so a 400 hour commitment?
Or you could let @monkeyoh and myself curate for some actual quality films and some not so quality but fun films?

Okay whole I understand the general displeasure with the AFI, didn’t it force me to watch movies I never would have but enjoyed?
(Oh, lawrence of Arabia, haven’t I put that off too long? HOLY SHIT, why isn’t this my real life theme movie?)
(And gone with the wind? Will I ever trust horses again?)
It was a list, with all good content, that does not mean you have to like every film on it… besides shouldn’t you be open to foreign films which will not be on that list?
Have you seen Mon Oncle and Playtime? Don’t those look like wonderful fun?

The trailer for Mon oncle, may, just may, make me put on grapelli and grisman, and possibly have a glass of wine?

You have wee ones? Mon Oncle is definitely one to show them… expose them to great cinema early, There are lots of great silent shorts on archive.org may I suggest one of my favorites Keaton’s The Boat? Though MrsTobinL would suggest Chaplin so maybe The Adventurer?

Dontcha think at this point cutting edge arduino development should more or less cover their needs for the next eighteen years?
Why not go on a weekday afternoon, when the movie has been in theaters for a while? Don’t you usually get the place to yourself?
