Rate The Last Movie You Saw.

We go to the movies about 3 times a month when they are open, 2 times a month during football season.
We have a popcorn machine in our movie room, that's how much I love theater popcorn.

[Heather19]

Also, has anyone ever just gone into a movie theater and just bought popcorn and walked out? I've done this a number of times.

Of course, not weird at all. We'll always get a large popcorn when we go, and it comes with a free refill. So we'll eat the bin while we watch the movie and then get a refill on our way out. It'll last for a few days, but the trick is to toss it into the oven for a few minutes before you eat it and it tastes just like it did in the theater

I love how this thread has devolved from movies into talking about the greatness of movie theater popcorn

I do the same thing! I mean, if it comes with a free refill, you might as well get it, right? I never thought about putting it in the oven though! I might have to try that next time.

And this thread DID turn into a movie popcorn conversation.

OK, are you ready for your minds to be blown?

One afternoon I was at the theater and I happened to buy a bag of popcorn. I was at the butter station and a guy turns to me and says, "Do you like butter in the middle of the bag?" Naturally, I said yes. "Want to know a trick?" he said. He tells me to unwrap a straw and stick it halfway in the bag of popcorn, line up the butter nozzle with the straw's opening, and start pumping the butter. BOOM! Butter in ALL the layers, not just the top. My mind was blown.

Dude, you were right... my mind is blown Gonna try that first thing! Maybe for Tenet!

I echo many of the things said above, with a few exceptions. I never eat food or snacks in the theater. I do however bring a couple beers in (IPA's). Of course I silence my phone. I also try to catch the earliest show possible.

Me and my coworkers catch flicks at the Cinemark right down the street from the office. They're super chill with people bringing stuff in, they honestly dgaf. One of my co's who carries a huge purse will literally empty it in her car, load it up with beers from a liquor store nearby, and we'll walk in nonchalant with the unmistakable sounds of beer cans clink clink clinking in her purse

And I love matinees. I love not dealing with the huge crowds, parking, screaming kids - it's amazing.

That's genius, right there.

Me too - we keep one in each car!

[Mattrick]

My theater has butter dispensers that go into the popcorn and shoot butter out through various holes for even distribution.

[Ricky]

Dude, you were right... my mind is blown Gonna try that first thing! Maybe for Tenet!

Did you see that Tenet was delayed again until mid-August?

And I love matinees. I love not dealing with the huge crowds, parking, screaming kids - it's amazing.

I love matinees, too. It's always been my preferred time of moviegoing for all the reasons you said. Plus the prices are better!

And my theaters also do the layering of butter. One even has little plastic cups for extra butter on the go!

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga

The Eurovision Song Contest is extremely popular back in the UK. Despite the fact that we're never going to win a single contest, for a lot of people, it's a good excuse to get together, drink plenty of booze, eat plenty of snacks, and enjoy the OTT extravaganza that follows.

When I heard that there was a Netflix comedy starring Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams, I was initially surprised. But the song they released on YouTube was enough to tell me that this was going to be something pretty special. Something that would capture just how OTT Eurovision is, but also would have a lot of love for it, too.

The film itself wasn't a disappointment. While it's not exactly the funniest movie I've seen in years, it definitely had a few good laughs. But what I particularly enjoyed was how it told a pretty good feel-good comedy. It had some pretty basic messages that we've seen before (especially "winning isn't always important"), but it handled them well and avoided doing lazy copouts.

The clear love the film has for Eurovision was a huge plus, and definitely affected my enjoyment of it. When my girlfriend asked me, "Is Eurovision really like this?", I gave a very firm "YES!" So we'll probably be watching the actual thing this time next year.

I'll be honest and say that my enjoyment of the film was definitely boosted by how much I enjoy Eurovision itself, so I'm definitely curious to see how well this will translate in places like the US where it's hardly a thing at all. But I give this a 7/10. Like Eurovision itself, it's cheesy but also a lot of fun.

James, get your ass over to the movie tournament thread! I'm about to nominate Dredd.

Great review, by the way! I had never even heard of Eurovision before watching and I had a really good time with it. I thought it was going to be terrible. They really captured the show from what I've heard and your review echoes that.

*Pops head back through window* Cheers! Yeah, I was initially worried it would be awful, but the video for Volcano Man was enough to tell me I'd love this one. And I'm not surprised to hear you hadn't heard of Eurovision. I think it says a lot about the British that we're absolutely obsessed over a contest that we're guaranteed to lose. Maybe that's why we're always so obsessed with the World Cup, too.

Dredd made it in!

Why doesn't England have a chance at winning?

[DoctorDodge]

For two key reasons. Firstly, we just don't have the talent. I think we're one of, if not the only country that once got 0 points in Eurovision. Secondly, it's because a key part of Eurovision is that it's not just a competition. It's something that brings almost all the countries of the European Union together and unites them in their mutual hatred of England!

It was a dry comedy to me where you had to pay attention to hear what was comedic or considered as such. I have never seen or heard of Eurovision. As for the movie, I enjoyed it. Will and Rachel played their parts extremely well. The sing together when everyone was at the party was great, and the ending was actually quite emotional. I'm not saying this movie will go down as an epic comedy or even if it will be remembered a year down the road, but I will say I enjoyed what I saw and felt during the film. 7/10

[Aremag]

Finally caught Alita: Battle Angel because the trailers did nothing for me and I had no interest. I enjoyed it much more than I thought I would and am a bit sad that there probably won't be a continuation of the story on film. 4/5

Also caught Good Boys today and I have to admit the film made me laugh out loud multiple times. 3.5/5

[Still Servant]

I had a lot of fun with Good Boys. Some of the bigger laughs I've had in a theater in a while.

[Aremag]

Thank god for free HBO trials and not having to pay to watch some of these movies. Just watched The Predator and it has to be one of the dumbest movies I've seen in a long time. I also don't understand how Olivia Munn still gets roles in major motion pictures as she is a horrible actor with no screen presence. 1/5

The Predator is an insulting film. Munn is certainly no thespian, but she's hardly the biggest thing wrong with the film. I actually liked her in The Newsroom.

I honestly don't know how you can take a character like Predator and make a bad movie, but we see it time and time again. However, Predators was actually way better than people give it credit for.

With Adrian Body? Yes that one was actually pretty good. I don't get why they don't look at comic source material, and I don't know, use one of those stories?

[Randall Flagg]

Viewed Desperados on Netflix yesterday. Formulaic, and predictable, but quite funny. I give it 4 beers on the RFSRS.

I've been looking forward to this since it was announced. I haven't seen it getting a lot of love, so I'm glad it seems like you enjoyed it!
