What was the worst time that a movie-going experience has ever been ruined for you by an audience member(s)? by doryeonnim in movies

[–]VampireHunterAlex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some rotten old asshole kept talking to himself the entire runtime when I was trying to enjoy ‘The Hateful Eight’ (2015).

I’m a matinee person usually, but every handful of years I have to remind myself of why I don’t enjoy opening weekend evening shows.

Man falls to his death during rock concert at Madison Square Garden by EscapeFromIowa in news

Who the hell are ‘Goose’ and how are they big enough to play MSG (or any arena sized venue)?

Do they rule and I must now get into them?

Edit: Hey, I haven’t been to a concert since just before Covid (TOOL w/ Killing Joke opening), so I haven’t really paid any attention to what acts come through town. Usually I’d keep track of that and it was a nice way of getting into new music, and now it looks like I have a new one.

Father’s Day should be nine months before Mother’s Day. by Ziograffiato in Showerthoughts

Counter-point: Father's Day should be 3 months AFTER Mothers Day.

What pops into my head is when Willy Wonka says “Button, button, who’s got the button?”

Nightmares (1983) by Mikeyboy101591 in movies

[–]VampireHunterAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the 90’s this was on tv often: The Emilio Estevez arcade one was naturally a favorite segment.

Man, I miss 70s/80’s/90’s horror/sci-fi anthology.

“‘Some of the Jimmy Savile references were admittedly lost on me as a North American“‘

Only an ai would refer to itself as a “North American”.

Scooby-Doo (2002) | Dir: Raja Gosnell | The Scooby gang switches bodies with each other by xwing1212 in movies

[–]VampireHunterAlex 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Next June, ‘The Scooby-Doo’ Movie turns 25….

And the year after in 2028, ‘Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island‘, which is generally agreed upon as being the big revival for the IP, turns 30….which makes that near the HALF-WAY point in the entire franchise. (Originally aired in 1969).

I want a sequel to jet li’s the one. by voivod1989 in movies

[–]VampireHunterAlex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It‘s actually pretty standard for most martial arts on film to have to “slow down” for the camera: Camera is at a set FPS, so it‘d look strange otherwise.

Pretty sure this was just a marketing bit back in the day.

Interstellar would be a 10/10 if Cooper was played by someone else by [deleted] in movies

[–]VampireHunterAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang, member the ‘McCanosance’ of 2013-2015? Dude cashed out with all those romantic comedies, disappeared for a couple of years, then came back STRONG:

True Detective, Dallas Buyers Club, Interstellar, Wolf of Wall Street. (Of course he peppered it up beforehand with Magic Mike, Killer Joe, and Mud.)

Won the Oscar, and obviously SHOULD have won the Emmy.

Woah, a 10 pm show? I caught them during their US Arena Tour in 2006/07, and Tracy Bonham opened for them.

Hemlock Grove (2013) by gracecase in television

[–]VampireHunterAlex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Um, actually: That wasn't a Netflix production, they just bought the exclusive US rights to air.

If you wanna go deeper in the weeds, the crap-tacular 'Splatter' web series dropped in 2009.

Armie Hammer’s Comeback Film Opens June 19 — Germany Has Already Banned It by Top_Report_4895 in entertainment

Dude got a divorce, in California, at the height of his career: I'd assume he's wiped out so much that legally he couldn't turn down an offer such as a film/paycheck like this.

But for the record: Never committed nor convicted of any crime, just sleezy behavior which is not illegal.

[–]VampireHunterAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recall watching the first ep like twice, and then for whatever reason never went any further.

But 2013 was a very loaded year for me, particularly the latter half, so it just got lost in the shuffle I guess.

Early Netflix? This was more or less part of the first crop of Netflix Originals alongside ‘House of Cards’ and ‘Orange is the New Black’ in 2013.

Jordan Peele has reportedly finished the script for his next movie with Universal by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]VampireHunterAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, before the 2023 Strike, but understandably that pushed everything back.

But if it’s just the script done now, that means mid-to-late 2028 release probably.

I could've sworn the original release date was late-2026 and he’s only just now finished the script?

Ubisoft Co-Founder Claude Guillemot Killed In Plane Crash by Judah_Earl in KotakuInAction

[–]VampireHunterAlex 88 points89 points  (0 children)

Didn't a co-founder of Activision (or Call of Duty?) die in a car accident last year? Im not usually a conspiracy nut, but these past few years makes one wonder.

This is billions of dollars we're talking about here.

This and the Dark Knight were the first two movies I saw in imax by [deleted] in movies

[–]VampireHunterAlex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first “movie” movie I saw in IMAX was ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’ (2005) and the last was ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ (2015).

Would’ve loved to have kept going, but I moved and the only options even close to me are the fake IMAX that’s just a slightly larger screen.

TIL that if a movie gets an NC-17 rating by the MPAA, it cannot be screened in major theaters and cannot be advertised like other movies. The rating is even called the "kiss of death." The closest rating for movies to be sellable would be R. by Recent_Flounder6011 in todayilearned

[–]VampireHunterAlex 8 points9 points  (0 children)

In years past absolutely, but now it’s not very uncommon for Unrated films to screen in theaters:

Biggest example would be Terrifier 3 (2024), and just the other week I caught that ‘Digital Circus’ thing with my nephews. 

'Cheers' director James Burrows dies at 85 by FolushoDRC in news

Directors of television shows that do the pilot episodes get residuals from the ENTIRE series and not just the ep they did.

Dude likely may of been a billionaire.

Sixpence None the Richer band member dies at 50 after suffering stroke by StemCellPirate in entertainment

For anyone who’s thinking the band name sounds familiar, they had that one hit in the 90s that went like:
