a Star Wars movie... or something that has beautiful landscapes and cinematography. I guess my point was that "movies" as we knew them are now being released more for the small screen rather than the multiplex. At the same time to your point the prices they charge for a large drink and popcorn ($15.) is ridiculous and especially given the fact that the popcorn is lousy and NOT real butter. I can make it at home... use real butter and have it just the way I like it!

Business is doubtless changing. Not necessariy for the better, either.

I find myself far from interested in MOST of what Hollyweird is putting out. Yawn. Another (fill in blank) which is a remake, derivative, Unoriginal, or like Psycho, a SCENE FOR SCENE remake of the original.
People got All Spun Up about 'The Shape Of Water', which, IMO was a sequel to 'The Creature From The Black Lagoon'.......

And yes, Popcorn is COMMODITY CHEAP and soda a tasty sugar delivery system. I'll slip a Hersey Bar in my Manbag before venturing out TO one of those movies.

I DID enjoy 'Knives Out' and also later, JoJo Rabbit, which i thought terrific. 1917 was totally unexpected and also Very Good.

Cinematography and Star Wars? Like Cuisine and Burger King. Want some cinematography?
Find a copy of 'The Emerald Forest' or 'Excalibur' both by John Borman at the peak of his powers.
Or some of the real powerhouse scenes in a Hitchcock film.
Other notable efforts include 'Like Water For Chocolate' or even Apocalypto.
Too much is never enough
- What I meant was that "big" pictures should be seen... - TWB 08:09:48 03/26/20 (0)
  on the "big" screen... I don't miss the big screen for a picture like Marriage Story or possibly even JoJo Rabbit (even though I have not see it). Star Wars, Raiders, GWTW and etc... NEED to be seen on a big screen. I'm okay with things going smaller as I said it can now cost you easily a hundred dollar bill to go to the movies and a nice dinner...Which is ludicrous! I LOVE Excaliber, one of my favs. I will need to try to get to the theater before 1917 is gone as THAT is one that I would like to see there. I have not seen Like Water For Chocolate OR Apocalypto and since I am a Mel fan that hss been on my radar for quite some time...
