[Drag-on Knight 91873]

I saw the movie myself and they do explain the spirit has no idea what it is and has a scrambled perspective of time with a vague sense of lingering attachments.

There's also implications that it can't move around living people because the spirit seeing the boyfriend try to kill the girl immediately goes to wake the brother up by putting in high pitched frequencies to get him to do something

But honestly wished the RLM review talked more about the movie rather than another soliloquy about movie theaters since it feels like Mike has had this discussion so many times about movie theaters that it is the same thing

"Some movies are fine to see in the theater"

"The food they have in the theater distracts from the movie"

"Other theater goers suck"

"Why go to theater when streaming"

This is the complaint that I find totally illegitimate. Of course theaters have food. That's how they make actual money. Of course other patrons are going to eat in the theater. They paid the same ticket price you did. If you can pay attention to other people eating, you aren't paying attention to the screen and that's a you problem.

My counter argument to that is this:

1:54 is exactly the 'I paid my money like everyone else' thing.

 

[Get the rope Macaulay!]

he says he loves quiet theaters for small moves with only middle aged+ in them. He'd totally joined them

i mean with how much money they're making why not just go right when the theaters open, is Milwaukee so ghetto that even those are filled with hoodrats causing pandemonium? like maybe its my own ageist bigotry but i highly doubt they're living in downtown Milwaukee, these guys have been making as much as a senator for over a dozen years and have a fucking warehouse, you can't tell me they haven't fucked off to the suburbs by now. Especially Rich who is fucking married with children

I think the audience clientele for it is different than other places, and yeah they tend to be closer to middle aged.

this is why i hate guys like Mike and Jay, say what you will about boomers especially the older ones could be redpilled cool dudes. Mike and Jay will go to the theater next to a shoe store across the street from a public school in the inner city and go "why is everyone so noisy?"

The entire premise of Alamo is basically "whites only" in all but name. my manager literally said that to me when i worked there a very long time ago. its like chik-fil-a for movies, no hoodrat shit is allowed for either the staff or the guests

Sean Baker is the perfect choice to use as an example here because he made defacto, etymological pornography.

wasn't Christopher Nolan's entire team mostly responsible for making "erotic thrillers" in the 90s? like his cinematographer and editor or something like that?

Sad but true. I have no right to kick out the guy sitting next to me but damn if i dont wanna strangle him when he munches on fucking popcorn

 

[Mussolini’s Merkin]

Didn't Lake Mungo do something similar? I also think Insidious did it better.

Yes, Lake Mungo had a very similar premise, with a better overall payoff. I’ve got my problems with that movie (mostly how the ‘reveal’ is dealt with), but it was an original take on an old genre.

Reddit Gooner View: I think for me Lake Mungo is like a fumbled handjob in cinema form. It has a glorious build up, then at the edge they accidentally stop the arrival, but the train has no brakes. Then an attempt at an over correction; yeah, you arrived eventually but it was pretty fuckin' bumpy. Not to mention the pillow talk was tacky during the credits.

I have no idea; I do know that Nolan is responsible for the only boring car chase in cinematic history via one of his Batman installments. I thought MEMENTO was good back when I first saw it; IDK if it holds up now.

Great, strange flick, but I foresee a Josh episode in the offing.

Well he does most resemble The Creature...

I feel like they talk about movie theaters more than they do actual movies.

At this point I think Mike's opinion of a movie is just the experience he had watching it. The glazing he gave the boring, pretentious "A Ghost Story" makes sense because he really enjoyed the art-snob cinema experience.

This doesn't take into account people smuggling their own food to the cinema and all of it being either crunchy snacks in obnoxious plastic bags or cans of soda that get opened mid-. Or the supplementary issues past the food, like loud talking or chair kicking. I respect the patience required not to be annoyed by all that.

I loved it when they'd kick out the drunks that stumbled in to watch a horror/exploitation film only to think that they were doing some MST3K style snark. Their preshows were great. Haven't been there since Sony purchased the company.

I think what Jay and Mike are really getting mad but can't exactly articulate is how much foodie culture has taken over every aspect of going out. Movie theaters have always served food, but they used to primarily serve just basic snack food. Popcorn, candy, soda. Now and days they are trying to serve everything under the sun, and people are constantly getting up out of their seats three million times during the move to get more. It is like people aren't even there for the movie anymore.

I've noticed the same exact thing with sporting events. When I go to these things I really only want something very basic to eat, which I'll probably get at the beginning. I'll only get up if I have to use the bathroom or maybe want another soda. I am there for the sporting event first. But for everyone else that isn't the case: they are getting borderline three course meals and spending the entire time getting up out of their seats to get more. Trying food at the stadiums are more important to a lot of people than actually seeing the teams compete.

Not to mention the staff are constantly nearby and coming in and out, because of the food, for better or worse. All movies do that "turn off your cellphone" thing, but at the Alamo, you're more likely to get actually fucking caught and thrown the fuck out. And frankly, if you're a slope-skulled retard who absolutely must check your spying device for what whacky dead gay meme Elon Musk has posted now, or hoping she has responded back (she hasn't), you deserve it.

Oh, hooray, it's Beardfat... ugh...

 

[Neo-Nazi Rich Evans]

oh wait, i have seen that movie, mostly because i have a thing for isabelle adjani and also the berlin wall. overall it is okay, but not a horror person myself. i would be interested hearing jay talk about it, but i think ill pass on beard fat. if someone wants to cut out beardfat from this episode, then ill watch that.

 

[Travoltron]

So Beardfat's hipster shirt is some trans empowerment phrase Lynch said? Why does he always do this?

virtue signalling / being a chaser? i could honestly see beardfat being a chaser.

I know very little about Beardfat's personal life, but his appearance, interests, and general demeanor always struck me as gay. Not, like, flaming, but just enough that if you told me he was a homosexual I'd shrug in very little surprise.

Of course, one need only be a leftist zombie to unquestioningly support trans garbage, so he doesn't have to be queer himself.
