This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Checking to see what movies were playing tonight. Didn't even know this movie existed. Decided to check and see how packed it was in my rural Eastern NC town. This is for the showing starting in 30min (lemmy.world)

And even further, only those exact same two seats are ‘taken’ for every single showing.

I thought for sure the after church showings tomorrow would be at least somewhat full, but nope.

I have better snacks than popcorn at home, that's why I don't have popcorn, but others do buy popcorn at home for making on a stovetop or microwave explicitly for watching movies at home.

I'm not even against using existing IP, like say adapting comics or books, but they need to stick to the source imo and not just be cash grabs, and preferably adapt something creator owned instead of big two, if comics. I am usually against rebooting an old series like alien, and always against remakes like Total Recall.

And I didn't even mention the fact that practical effects (even bad ones) are my jam and CGI is just lame to me unless used sparingly and well.
