      Best I can do is safe and unimaginative with lots of marketing and a big cast of overpaid actors past their prime.

        All of them pretty good in their own style, “I saw the TV glow” is the name of the movie, strange film, used a lot of terror film language but never got there, like it tried to be scary but not really just tension. I like it mainly for how strange it was, in a positive way. (Forgot to mention that I also watched Megapolis, that was also really strange but in a bore way)
        Kinds of Kindness probably my favorite because is the Yargos I was missing in Poor Thighs and The Favorite.
        I’m not into kids animation, so The Wild Robot, is my least favorite of them, but was entertaining.
        Fallen Leaves was a cute film, not a lot of things happening, with a slow rhythm, typical European film festival movie if you’re into that.
        The Substance, is fantastic, really reccomend it, even if you don’t enjoy body horror, is not that bad that you couldn’t watch. I think people are trying to see way over the message of the movie because it just too obvious, and some people need a deeper message.

          I saw the Tv glow is horror for queer people. If ur cishet it won’t hit the same

          Tap for spoiler

          It’s about failing to recognize yourself as trans an the inherent terror of living in a body that feels like a prison

        Beau is Afraid was really good, but fuck it was stressful. Like “Anxiety: The Movie”. I have “We’re all going to the world fair” in the downloads folder waiting for being on the mood for it.

    I mean, make fun of me if you want, but I saw The Beekeeper in theaters. Maybe not super original but it wasn’t explicitly marketed as a remake or rehash or whatever.

    No, I didn’t have a free ticket or voucher or anything, I paid full price for the ticket.

    Yes, I snuck in alcohol (they don’t serve).

    As a popcorn flick, I enjoyed my 1.5 hours or whatever.

    Yes, I paid a stupid amount of money for popcorn, it’s a local theater not tied to any mega corps.

      I didn’t watch Beekeeper in a theatre it because I didn’t know if it was gonna be just a cheap cash grab.

      I watched it via a paid service and enjoyed it very much with my wife in the home theatre I built.

    “Original” as in it has original ideas, or “original” as in it’s not part of an established franchise? If it’s the latter, I saw The Wild Robot in theaters. It was okay. A bit by-the-numbers, and I’m not sure everything made total sense, but it’s a kid’s movie so that was to be expected.

    If the former, then, uh… Problemista? Also in theaters. I really liked that one.

    Fifth Element. With my eyes.

    Not the NEWEST original movie I’ve watched, though. I’m not sure which one that is but I’m confident that I used my eyes for that as well.

    The last movie I watchdd in cinema was deadpool & wolverine. Before that was Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets.

    And that’s all, I don’t watch movies in cinema. Mostly because closest cinema for me is 103km away.

    Normally just watch pre 2010 movies.

    Watched it again last night, but Legend of Hei. Chinese animated film I have on Blu-ray/DVD through Shout! Factory. Love the Chinese dub because I personally don’t like how they use an English translation for a few different characters names. Watched on my Blu-ray player and must say, it’s probably my tv, but I cannot really see is big difference between DVD and Blu-ray. Last movie I watched, let alone original movie.

    May be based on an animated web series, but I still consider it original.

    The last movie I saw in theaters was Interstellar… just pulled up the release date, and holy shit, it’s been a solid decade.

    …not really feeling the urge to change that either. All I remember theaters being is a sticky fucking mess where a bag of skittles and a drink will cost you like 5% of your net worth; from there you pack into these disgusting seats, invariably right behind some 6’11" 400lb dude in a fucking cowboy hat and, surrounded on all sides by people who have never heard of the concept of shutting the fuck up for 90 mins…

      That’s why you find one that isn’t in prime time like an AMC with recliner seats. Usually at the matinee, there is like one of two other people and you and your party get almost the whole theatre. And I sneak in McChickens in my hoodie. Usually have someone with a purse with you. Most theatres around me don’t check. Put the drinks and snacks in there from the dollar store. But yes the floors still get sticky, lol. The security only really cares if you’ve got your phone out or are pointing it like you are filming.
