We need a real drive up restaurant chain where you eat in your car more than we need drive-in movie theaters. Once they give us back the useful thing they can try to revive the thing that will never beat the average living room for entertainment in the year 2022+. Also to keep the post thread legal: Twister. Best drive-in destruction movie of all time!
They’re all over NJ, although their food is terrible, their ice cream treats and drinks are a good deal.
Yeah the shakes and slushes are great, but in the end it is still fast food. The last time I ate there was about 8 years ago when they blew their shake menu up and started offering a peanut butter bacon shake. I think it's illegal now.
The Banshees of Inisherin was amazing. Colin Ferrell and Brendon Gleeson are wonderful together. Probably my #2 film of 2022 behind The Batman. It's about a guy who doesn't want to be friends with his friend anymore. Very interesting idea for a film. I also watched The Menu and thought it was pretty fun. Wild movie. Go in knowing as little as possible if you can. Both films are on HBOMax now and I recommend both.
Guess I'll have to give The Banshees of Inisherin another shot, seemed like a film about 2 old men being mad at each other and not talking. Is there more than that? I mean there has been movies based on that premise before but at least they were comedies.
Well, the movie is very funny and well written too. It won't be for everyone, but I think film fans will really like it. It should be nominated for many Academy Awards. It deserves to, at least. And yes, there is a lot more to it, but at the same time, there isn't, which is interesting.
I'll give it another shot, I usually try to give a movie at least 30 minutes before pulling the plug and didn't give this that much time
Yeah, agreed! I had no expectation for the film because I did not know anything about it, so everything was pleasantly surprising for me. Definitely made me laugh a lot.
Just saw "John Wick 4". Nice ending to the franchise. "Shazam" is a hard pass if you're older than 10. "65" was pretty good too. I signed up for the Regal unlimited program. $25/mo and I get to see all the movies I want. Will be seeing "Dungeons and Dragons" next weekend.
Heading out today to see Dungeons and Dragons today. Hopefully it will be better than Shazam which IMO was hot garbage.
First Shazam was a fine movie but nothing about it felt like it needed a sequel or that its box office indicated the market would support it as a series. Its success was likely due to the demand for comic book movie movies at that time, which has clearly passed, thankfully. DC needs to acknowledge the fact that their only meaningful hits in recent time have been isolated movies not connected to a bigger comic universe — Joker and The Batman. I think audiences are over large movie series across multiple properties. My son’s hockey team was playing for the state championship last weekend and his line mate went to see it between games and said it was terrible so I’m glad we passed on it. If we had more time I would have just taken my boy to see John Wick 4. D&D loos pretty funny but that movie is going to bomb bigger than Shazam 2.
Am I weird for wanting to go see the Super Mario movie? I don't want to roll in there as some middle aged man and be surrounded by a bunch of kids. There is a theater here that has 5 dollar movies on Monday so I may do it one Monday afternoon but I still feel kind of strange doing it
D&D was a lot better than I expected. Never played the game so I was in it for the storyline which was pretty good. It was nice to see Michele Rodriguez back in action again too. Good story line and lots of Brits in the cast so it has that medieval feel. All in all, good entertainment which basically is all you can ask anyway...
