agree with you, streaming is cheaper and far more convenient and many home setups are very good.

And when I am in a theater with only one other person and she is noisy cramming popcorn in her face, you wonder why some give up on the theater experience.

But still. Some good films are failing that shouldn't. It's a shame.

Without seeing this, not sure why he is considered a genius?  He's been influential to be sure, but so have many other comic creators.

Most probably it is the extent to which his contributions have directly or indirectly influenced movie and TV entertainment.

I'm glad you saw this one. Since there is something such as streaming and the cost of movie tickets these days but regular movies like this used to be a good and easy way to spend an afternoon

I'm glad I saw it. Thereby hope  you enjoyed as well, it was fun.

I had a fun time with this movie. It is so sad how hard it is bombing. It doesn't deserve it. And they sure celebrate the original TV show inspirations.

By my calculations, she was both his half-sister and his aunt.  I think it is safe to assume any wildings on the other side joined the army of the dead.

The Army of the Dead would have had to circle through the north woods for years to gather all of the Wildlings. Part of the complaint with the show wrapping up in eight seasons. As supposedly GRR Martin wanted 10 seasons and the Night King battle not taking place until that last season. 

What could have been.

Ok, a B+ CinemaScore isn't that great is it?  Usually you need an A something to get good word of mouth buzz, right.

Adjust for the R-Rating which then a B+ is a good rating.

PG-13 movies need to hit at least an A- to be considered solid.

A question from a casual fan. 

Jon Snow kills his sister and announces he is returning to the Wall.  What wall and what would they be guarding? Wasn't the wall destroyed, but more importantly- wasn't the reason for the wall and the Watch eliminated? 

It's a huge cast. So it gets confusing.

Jon killed his Targaryen relative. Not his sister. He is then sent back up to The Wall to guard against the remaining Wildlings that may have not joined against the undead so as to appease the Unsullied.

Not surprised that gets a little twisted. But to me it's a good thing attributed to the breadth and depth of the GoT world.

Lee Majors appearing at the end of the movie was fantastic. Always liked him.

I'm not surprised.   I watched here in Melbourne Australia, the cinema was only fractionally full.   There's been no shortage or advertising of the film, but the crowds just weren't there.

I figured with it being a 10 AM first screening on a Friday my theater being myself and a lady way behind me chomping on popcorn it was just a unique situation.

I hope this doesn't turn out to be the norm for Furiosa.

Man, was that popcorn-eating loud though.

RIAN JOHNSON SHARES KNIVES OUT 3 TITLE AND 2025 RELEASE DATE

Quote

Benoit Blanc will soon take on his “most dangerous case yet.” That’s what writer-director Rian Johnson revealed in the first promo for Knives Out 3 film. But that’s not all he gave us. The third film in the murder-mystery franchise now has a title, and Knives Out 3‘s real name is as ominous as Blanc’s own narration. Johnson is following up Glass Onion with Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.

 

ohnson spent his morning on social media teasing the highly anticipated third installment in his Knives Out franchise with a series of tweets. His first doesn’t make much sense on its own and might not even be connected to Knives Out 3. It only shows a Pokémon Go egg accompanied by its traditional one-word question, “Oh?”

 

The reason it could have something to do with Johnson’s Knives Out movie franchise is that minutes later Johnson followed that up with some commentary about why he loves the whodunit genre so much. He wrote one of the big reasons he loves the genre is that it’s so “malleable.” That makes his Benoit Blanc stories so much fun, because he has the freedom to explore the “whole tonal spectrum.”

Fury Road is a solid action story for me.

Now on to Furiosa!

For me this was a very good movie. I would have to agree with the 8.0/10 overall.

Plenty of action once it gets going. And one heck of a revenge result in the end. But I still see Fury Road as one of the best Mad Max movies, as that is constant action throughout.

Fury Road is a solid action story for me.

Now on to Furiosa!
