The Picture House – A Cinema Thread

Can’t wait hope it’s going to be IMAX’ed.

Aubrey Plaza got the best character name going in this, Wow Platinum

Absolutely. That trailer has IMAX written all over it.

Cool name. Might add ‘wow’ to mine.

So many trailers are like ‘here you go, you don’t need to watch it now’

Challengers has to be one of the weirdest movies I’ve ever seen in my life. Was it all meant to be a joke? Everything about it is utterly bizarre - the music, everything.

I’ve never properly sat and watched this. Great movie. And it had an intermission and a Bugs Bunny goes to Baghdad cartoon before.

Watched Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes last night. I really enjoyed the other films in the franchise but this one was as much of a let down as its cumbersome title would suggest.

5 whooping simians out of 10.

Lucky to have this fairly local to me, so booked for the weekend. No swooning at the back

I hated it and also felt about 30 years too old when watching it. My 15yo daughter really liked it.

I went with Frank and he wanted to leave but I had to stick it out. Part of me felt I must be missing out on something as I really liked some of the directors previous films.

But yeah, maybe 50 year old blokes aren’t the target audience.

Watched Civil War last night. Surprised me. Enjoyed!

Just saw Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. I loved it. Complete maximalist fun. Total overload. My daughter; on the other hand, “thought it was never going to end”.

My wife & I (late 30s) really enjoyed it. It required a sense of disbelief in regards to the tennis–there is no way that a multi-slam winner (Art supposedly won 6?) would consistently struggle against a guy who lives on the challenger circuit. But artistically was quite refreshing, loved the camerawork and and back-and-forth narrative.

I loved the first film and I usually really hate that kind of thing. The first twenty mins was absolutely batshit and I almost forgot to breathe, so I definitely want to see this one.

Mrs J_C is out though, not for her!

Went last night to see it. I absolutely loved it! The action sequences are incredible. It is slightly too long but that might have just been my bladder talking. Need to watch Fury Road again soon.
