Textbookish!

Ha!

Was that meant to be a pun?! :)

Uh... yeah, yeah it was totally a pun. I completely understand the joke that you are referring to.

Hmmmmmmm :(

On Whiplash: Music porn indeed. I actually just got back from seeing it a second time. Even though I knew what was going to happen, I still had short of breath after it finished. It stills holds. I also rewatched Grand Budapest last night. That movie keeps moving up for me. It's a joy.

On Interstellar. I saw it a couple days ago. I haven't gotten around to reviewing it because I was so mixed on it. I agree with you, beautiful film, horrible script. The acting from MM was good though. I enjoy him.

Bob...I have a bone to pick. Let me preface this by saying that I love you and that you're awesome and this is no way a knock on you as a person. It's just something I have to say...

Please don't ask for your money back from the theaters just because you hate the movie. I'm assuming you did this after the movie finished...a three hour movie by the way.

In my time managing my theater, we had a strict rule. You may come out and ask for your money back AS LONG as you do it before the half way mark of the film. The film could be 90 minutes or four hours. As long as it is half way. I had a lot of people come out and ask for their money back after the movie had finished and I always told them flat out...absolutely f*cking not. You can't not go to a restaurant, eat a entire meal, and then ask for your money back because you thought it was sh*tty. You ate the whole thing. The thing with this analogy is that you can actually argue against it because the product is the directly from the supplier. They cooked your steak. They cooked it sh*tty. The theater did not make Interstellar. In fact, they had 0% to do with the production of the sh*tty movie you just experienced. I've walked out of movies. I always do so before the halfway mark, and if I don't make it before half way, I go home without my money back. It's not fair for the theater, who doesn't make D*CK on movie tickets anyway, to have to cough up the dough because you hated a film. My theater chain went out of business and we had theaters in NYC.

Bob, you're one of my favorite people on this site. I say this with love. Really.

I love this movie, it's not the gore that really gets me, it's the characters. Ichi himself represents this sort of ****ed up version of Milton from Office Space. He gets off on the physical abuse of others, watching women being beaten and raped. It's in essence the darkest, most taboo thing that makes Ichi so terrifying. Not only that, but he has the mind of a child, when pushed too far he goes into a crying frenzy and dismembers whatever is near him. The mixing of a docile manchild and extreme sadist is probably one of the most terrifying things I can think of. I really wish they put out an English translation of manga, it's supposedly even more ****ed up.

Enough of that though, some of the scenes in this film are just so hilariously bad, like the scene where Ichi cuts the pimp in half. It's campy, it's wrong, it's funny, it's sad, awkward, and just a joy to watch.

it's really more of a on standing joke with three ushers at the theater i frequent....which is a luxury multiplex and IMAX :)

it started with me walking out of Maleficent 20 minutes into the film....and them having bets on how long it would take me to leave....i think they have a similar policy

and no worries ever my friend :beer:

and i agree 100% with Grand Budapest Hotel

Oh, okay, well...THAT GOES FOR ANY OTHERS WHO ARE THINKING ABOUT IT.

exo you manage a non-corporate movie theatre?

I didn't realize those were still in existence

Managed*

It was corporate but the chain only had 52 theaters. We were strictly NY/NJ/PA.

bummer, sounds like a sweet job.

I'm sorry for all the times I snuck in without paying.
