Just read you list, Mike. The River Wild is one of the few films on there that I hadn't heard of. I did a quick check On Demand this morning and it turns out it was on there for free so I just watched it. I enjoyed it. Good acting, great score, and I loved the setting with the rapids. I never quite felt the family was in real danger, though. The villain wasn't really that intense...or maybe I just have so much faith in Meryl Streep that things will always turn out ok.

Thanks for the sort-of recommendation!

(Also, worst fake slapping ever. )

I'm glad you watched. It's the kind of film we got a lot in the 90s, but not so much anymore. I don't know though, I always thought Kevin Bacon was super menacing.

I saw that on Facebook and I think I only found 11 in the few minutes I searched. Haha.

We just did this on my Facebook (a bunch of my friends who are on this forum participated). There are 66 films in the photo. I will sit out because I know them all now. I have uploaded the highest resolution photo I could find to my Dropbox if you want to use it to zoom in.

Best resolution is if you open the game itself (Popcorn Garage) and right click on it and view image.

Yeah, no doubt. The game doesn't allow you to play on a mobile phone though.

Sadly many will. I expect the time movies are in theater to be much less. I expect tickets to go up and more older titles play at a large discount. The movie industry will change from Covid.

Hollywood needs AMC. They will be back.

Outbreak is SO 90s #8 - Liar Liar (1997)

[Tommy]

'Trolls World Tour' has history-making digital debut with nearly $100 million, provoking ire of theater owners

Regal and AMC are not going to show Universal films any more because of this, a bit extreme I think....

[Ricky]

Yeah, wait until they see how much money they stand to potential lose from Jurassic World 3, Halloween Kills, Fast and Furious, and other huge tentpole releases.

With theaters being shut down around the world due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced that it will be tweaking its eligibility rules for the 2021 event, according to Variety.

The board of governors met on Tuesday and approved a temporary hold on the requirement that a film must have a seven-day theatrical run in a commercial theater in Los Angeles County to qualify for the Oscars, a groundbreaking move that paves the way for films to skip theatrical releases and still be afforded the chance to win Oscar gold.

“The Academy firmly believes there is no greater way to experience the magic of movies than to see them in a theater,” Academy president David Rubin and CEO Dawn Hudson said in a statement. “Our commitment to that is unchanged and unwavering. Nonetheless, the historically tragic COVID-19 pandemic necessitates this temporary exception to our awards eligibility rules. The Academy supports our members and colleagues during this time of uncertainty. We recognize the importance of their work being seen and also celebrated, especially now, when audiences appreciate movies more than ever.”

Though the eligibility has loosened for nominations, not every film released digitally will be considered, as the film must still have had a planned theatrical release and must also be made available on the Academy Screening Room members-only streaming site within 60 days of the film’s streaming or VOD release. Once theaters re-open, the seven-day window rule will be reinstated, though films that have already streamed will not have to be re-released into theaters, and the Academy expanding the number of qualifying theaters beyond LA County to New York City, the Bay Area, Chicago, Miami and Atlanta.

In addition to eligibility changes, the Academy has announced it will also be eliminating an Oscar category, combining the sound mixing and sound editing categories into one award to reduce the total number of categories presented on the show to 23. For the new original score category, the board voted a score must comprise a minimum of 60% original music while sequels and franchise films must have a minimum of 80% new music in each score to be considered.

All members will also be invited to participate in the preliminary round of voting for international feature film for the first time in the Academy’s history. The 93rd Oscars telecast is slated to air on Feb. 28, 2021 on ABC.
