It was great. You catch so many more things in the theatre with no distractions. The sound sucked, not optimized for thr modern theatre. It was a dine in theatre with lazy boy chairs. Only way I'll watch nowadays. I bought all of the bond movies on streaming except OHMSS and the Brosnan movies
Just saw the Alamo Drafthouse by us is doing a 50th anniversary showing of The Godfather and The Godfather Part II on two consecutive Sundays in early September. Figure it's a great way to get the wife to finally sit down and watch them both without being able to be on her phone but with a margarita in hand.
Get the 30-day trial version of Paramount + and watch The Offer. It's a miniseries about the making of The Godfather. It's really good and makes the rewatching of the Godfather I and II fun.
Actually just finished it yesterday and it was very good. When I heard they were making a show on the making of a movie, I didn't think it could work. I knew some of the drama behind the scenes for making the GF and I'm sure a lot more of that was fictionalized but still very entertaining show. Not sure if anyone here is a member of the 24/7 websites (mainly college stuff) but you get a free membership to Paramount+ if you subscribe to one of the 24/7 sites. Me and my dad share an account for the Wazzu website and the P+ is a great little added bonus.
I thought the same thing as you about a show on the making of a movie but they did it well. The casting was great. Speaking of Paramount+ did you watch Strange New Worlds?
Had to look up what Strange New Worlds was, I'm in the minority here but I've actually never seen an episode or movie of Star Trek in any of it's forms.
Interesting. Used to be that I almost always went to a Regal whenever I wanted to hit the theater; nowadays it's almost always Cinemark (since I'm on the east side of town, Eastport and Clackamas Town Center are the easiest theaters for me to get to). I wonder if the fact that the Regal app sucks had any impact on this.
I remember in HS working at Cascade Park Cinemas when it was an Act III and then that chain got bought out by Regal. Regal shuttered the doors to their only theater in town here in South Texas, but it was old and run down and wasn't making much money even before the pandemic. They were also closed a 2nd run theater, that I'm guessing with streaming is becoming a thing of the past across the industry. Kind of sucks because it's left us with only Cinemark and Alamo Drafthouse here, but those were the ones we were going to anyway.
Strange New World is a direct prequel to the original series and is the most like the original series of any other Star Trek show I have seen. That's part of it's appeal.
