Dear Mopes and Mopettes - Happy Holidays, safe times and a box of old movie posters someone hands you and says, "I found these in an old house, you want them?" When I was a kid I probably went to the movies 4 times a week. Would often take a cab from elementary school to the local theater in

the theatre experience is hardly what I grew up with, when I saw Ben Hur on a screen as big as a neighborhood bringing a family to a movie & buying popcorn & drinks has to be near a week's wages for some. when I see a movie, I go for the first showing on a tuesday or weds, sit in the back

I have found that going to the ArcLight cinemas lends itself to an audience interested in behaving. Most likely because they charge a little bit more so you aren't bombarded with annoying ads before the film. All they show are trailers. Also they don't let anyone in ten minutes after the movie

Regarding that issue that Robert mentioned about rude audiences in theaters. Alamo Drafthouse here in Austin keeps audiences polite by throwing out disrupters, texters, talkers. It works too. > On Dec 19, 2017, at 2:33 PM, Glenn Taranto wrote: > > I mostly watch

I mostly watch movies at home. I am privy to numerous free screenings through the WGA and SAG. I also pay to see some films. Generally those are the ones I feel warrant a big screen/audience experience. Hanging out with friends after a film and discussing it over dinner afterward is part of that

Througout the VHS era I was contemptuous of home video because of the poor picture quality and, initially at least, the sound was mono. DVD raised the bar a bit. Blu-Ray and 4K and the fact that I am fortunate enough to own an Oppo to play them and an LG OLED TV, clearly one of the best

I watched tons o' movies when I was a youngling, but I'm 49 now and my entire post-college life have attended a movie theater once/twice a year, if that much. I never paid for cable TV and have never used a DVR, so rarely watched them at home. Now that I'm not working I'm the King of Free Time
