Last movie you saw?

What's that like I'm interested in going but haven't heard much about it.
Saw it too last night. They've done a really good job with it. The animals are CGI, but in some scenes they're performed by circus performers to give interactions more of an emotional attachment when it comes to the actors like Harrison Ford interacting with them. I thought it was quite a good movie. Lots of good comedy in it.
Watching a bunch of Charlie Chan movies!! Love black and white.
I feel your pain. Had that same experience at the movies. Don't the brats know how to turn their devices off and enjoy the fucking movie?
I could hear the show that some little girl was watching on the smart phone the mother handed to her before the movie. I got out of my seat, went to where they were five seats away, and said something about it. The mother apologized, and as I turned around to go back to my seat during the movie, the little girl started crying.
Later, a grown ass adult to my right actually facetimed during the movie, and actually told whoever was on the phone, "Yeah, we're here watching Sonic the Hedgehog." No, you aren't! You're here bugging the shit out of me while I'm trying to watch Sonic the Hedgehog!
Going to watch a film in the cinema is a fucking ordeal these days
Noisy kids that won't shut up, ignoramus adults who want to talk all the way through, plus the incessant rustle of wrappers from discarded sweets and choc ices
Phones, tablets etc
Its beyond a fucking joke.

What happened that time?
So, I'm sitting back row, off center of the theater watching the movie. No problems at all, despite being an almost sold out crowd on the opening weekend. During the scene without dialogue, where Paul Newman is standing in the rain while his men are gunned down. And right about then, these three fat folks came into the theater, walked all the way up the stairs to the back row, and sat just a few seats from me.
They had food wrappers, and were sucking on their sodas, and asking each other what the hell was going on in the movie, commenting on how dark it was, lucky they didn't slip while coming up the stairs, and so on.
And then, after a few minutes of that nonsense, one of 'em says, "I think we're in the wrong theater." Opening weekend, ya know, they had it playing on more than one screen. And these three had wandered into the wrong one and didn't figure it out for a good ten minutes.
That's when they shuffled their stuff, got the drinks & snacks organized, got up and wandered all the way back down the stairs & out the theater.

Just watched Zero Hour! - the "serious" disaster movie upon which Airplane! was based.
Holy shit, I cannot overemphasize how awesome this movie is. Half the dialogue in Airplane! was taken WORD FOR FUCKING WORD from it. It is as gut-bustingly hilarious as its "parody".
Watching Zero Hour! is like being in the audience at one of those Rocky Horror audience participation screenings. It really is that epic...like somebody in ZH will say "How about some coffee?" and you will be forced to yell out "NO THANKS!", or the pilot asked the kid if he's ever been up in a plane before and you keep waiting for "Ever seen a grown man naked?", or when Ellen (who, in ZH, is actually married to Ted Striker, though she's leaving him) says "I can't live with a man I don't respect" and you wonder why he doesn't say "What a pisser".
And it got me thinking, how must the cast and crew from ZH have reacted when Airplane! came out. Unfortunately we will probably never know (it's unlikely there are any surviving cast members from ZH). But I think they'd approve.

Fortunately, our cinema trips are usually ok (phone/noise etc).
The last film I saw was The Invisible Man with Elizabeth Moss.

What's that one like I'm kind of on the fence about seeing it.
The one with Jackie Chan and Pierce Brosnan? Yeah, that was a good one. Chan is surprisingly good in dramatic acting.
Yeah, I enjoyed The Foreigner too.
Tonight, one more of The Smoke and then Picard.

Anyone seen A Quiet Place 2 yet? Is it as good as the first one?
I saw a commercial for this during Picard tonight. It doesn't come out until March 20.
Oh snap.... Well I saw the Miss Fisher movie and that was good.
