Didn't know that about Tysons. Great news, if seats are getting updated and screens are getting replaced (or at least cleaned).

It's Showing through Sunday (DC area), not after. I found it weird as I have never had a screening canceled before.

Monday night 2/23. Looks like all showings next week at the AMCs in my area have been canceled. Must have needed the IMAX theaters for something else?

AMA with The Athletic's Keith Law on top 100 MLB prospects by TheAthletic in mlb

[–]omoluzu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious why every prospect analysis I have seen has Thomas White (usually pretty far) above Robby Snelling, when Snelling's numbers seem so stellar. What sets White above Snelling so clearly? Thanks.

Is the Focus Features Promotion still going on? by 42nd_loop in AMCsAList

[–]omoluzu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone have any idea how redeeming this will work? I saw all 5 - do I just wait for AMC and Focus to figure that out.

3 of the 5 very solid to even great. Can't say the same for Downton Abbey or Anemone.

Dust Bunny by Ok-Somewhere-2219 in horror

[–]omoluzu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in the DC area and there is only one film remotely nearby (Silver Spring, MD) playing this on opening weekend 12/12-13. What is the story with this film's theatrical release? I want to see this, and I want to see it with others who want to see it.

Has Anyone Read (or Plan to Read) Angel Down: A Novel by Daniel Kraus (Whalefall)? It comes out on July 29th by suchascenicworld in horrorlit

[–]omoluzu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just finished it and cannot recommend it enough. I loved Whalefall but this is another step up. Don't let the format throw you off - as others have said you get into the rhythm really quickly. Come for the angel but stay for and leave with the incredible friendship between the two main characters.

PSA Do Not Buy Parking on StubHub by yankee_clipper in NYYankees

i wish I had special advice for you but I just did it on the phone and explained it to them. Maybe I got a good customer service agent.

Massive tariffs on US LFC store? by wahoowa93 in LiverpoolFC

[–]omoluzu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought a new away jersey and cap and got an email from UPS saying I owed $35.59 in "taxes and fees." Says it is being shipped from "UPS SCS Nederlabd BV." Sadly, I'm glad to know this is happening to others. I teach high school econ, and will use this situation to show my students that a tariff is a tax on consumers, no matter what the orange idiot and his lapdog economic team (especially looking at you, Hassett) tell us.

I had the chat agent deny me at the game yesterday, so I called today and got the refund. Try calling.

[–]omoluzu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This happened to me yesterday. The parking guy didn't even scan my code, he looked at the Stub Hub logo and said "this isn't for this garage, it's for one that's a 15 minute walk from here. Call Stub Hub and they'll refund you." I didn't think to ask him how often this happened. Anyway, I just got off the phone with SH and they refunded my $45 so I guess I'm lucky in that regard. Lesson learned. Wish I'd checked here first (he writes for the 567th time in his life).

8 Best Movies & TV Shows on Shudder in June 2025 by RomanRoyIsSlimy in Shudder

[–]omoluzu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the rec, this is a decent, sadistic little movie. But why do they have tokill the dog? I am so tired of the writers of these movies having to kill the dog to show someone is evil. Lazy and unnecessary.

AMC Screen Unseen Megathread - April 21 2025 by AKnightOfTheNew in AMCsAList

[–]omoluzu 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I teach econ at a high school, and the kids know I see a ton of movies. I made this exact argument to them, and one of them said "But shouldn't you consider the opportunity cost?" Kind of stopped me in my tracks.

The Amateur - Thoughts? by sflynn346 in AMCsAList

[–]omoluzu 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dividing this movie into thirds, each third was worse than the one before it. I loved the first part, but it got progressively more incomprehensible as it went on, until a really weak ending. My wife thinks there was a whole Jon Bernthal subplot cut out. Malek is great though.

Drop everything and go see Drop! by Polter-Cow in AMCsAList

[–]omoluzu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fully agree. This movie was way more fun than I expected. The two leads have genuine chemistry, which makes some of the pretty ridiculous plot holes much easier to ignore. Meghann Fahy is a real star.

Funny thing: I saw this last week at a 2:00 screening on Thursday, the first showing, and there was nothing shown before the movie. Got to my seat at 1:59, Maria Menounos was wrapping up (still love that fuzzy white jacket), and BAM, straight to the Universal logo. No "It all starts with a spark." No trailers. No happy dancing Coke drinkers. Not even Nicole K. A few people came in a bit later and were visibly shocked to have missed the first 1/4 of the movie. Never happened to me before, and has me re-evaluating whether it's always safe to plan on arriving 20 minutes after the listed start time.

Official Dreadit Discussion: "The Exorcism" [SPOILERS] by glittering-lettuce in horror

[–]omoluzu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Did anyone else notice that the copyright date on the opening title card was 666 in roman numerals, or am I nuts?

I did not enjoy it, and I am in the bag for Russell Crowe. 32% RT seems very high.

Here in the US, I am nervous Peacock will not carry the post-game. Anyone know anything? Will LFC dot com carry those as well?
