Amph At The Movies (film discussion thread)

Didn't they already do that in Meet the Feebles ?

 

I could never understand why the streaming movie sites offer new rentals at upwards of $5 while you could pick up a Redbox DVD rental at around $2 per day. Yes, they usually give you a sort of probationary period to watch your rental (up to 30 days) and you could stop and then continue your rental several days later at no extra cost; but how many people really need that?

 

i think the main appeal is that you don't have to leave your house. the same reason people still get pizza delivered even though it's cheaper to get carry-out.

 

Isn't pizza the same price if you carry it out or have it delivered? Usually they wave a delivery fee if it's above a certain amount.

 

i guess i never get that much pizza because i always have to pay the delivery fee. or maybe it's just different where i live. then i also tip the driver because i figure that fee doesn't go to them. and also places often have really good specials for carry-out, but i still sometimes get delivery because i don't want to put my shoes on.

 

After delivery fee and tip, it's usually about $6 more to have just one pizza delivered versus carry out. At least where I am.

 

I can't wait until Amazon Prime offers free delivery on its freely bake pizza delivery by a drone within two hours of it being ordered.

 

It's more about convenience for me; it's availability. I saw that Black Panther, which I haven't seen yet, is at Redbox. But the problem is that there aren't any copies of the DVD/Blu-Ray available at any kiosk within half an hour's drive from where I live. Obviously since it's just been released it's widely popular and in demand, so the option is to wait awhile or spend a few extra bucks for the streamed version; albeit without any bonus features usually.

 

That reminds me of this...

 

yeah but it'll probably blow up your house as well .

 

So you’re saying it’s win/win.

 

Is this the sequel to Blazing Saddles ?

 

Walk Hard is pretty hilarious, but I also really love Walk the Line. Straight Outta Compton was a phenomenally good movie. And I also really loved, though most people didn't, Don Cheadle's Miles Ahead about Miles Davis. It's sloppy and weird, but I don't know how it could have been anything else. I do like Rami Malek a lot, so Bohemian Rhapsody is still kind of interesting to me.

 

I can say this with a certain degree of confidence. Citizen's On Patrol is the worst Police Academy film I've seen in the past few weeks.

 

The Original Wicker Man was practically a musical.

I wonder if 70’s sensibilities had you sympathetic to the officer? I on the other hand was happily anticipating his roast.

 

Jake Gyllenhaal to play villain in SM: Homecoming 2

I wonder who?

 

Obviously he didn't listen to the advice his sister's boyfriend gave in Dark Knight: You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

 

I loved Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler as that unmoral photojournalist, which is a perfect match for Eddie Brock. However, since this Peter Parker is still in high school it wouldn't really be the right time to introduce Eddie Brock into the MCU.

 

Trailer for Mowgli:

 

Hard to keep track. Is this the 3rd, 4th, or 5th iteration of the Jungle Book story?

 

It's the 12th film based on The Jungle Book, apparently.

 

I'm content with the animated Disney version where Baloo sings about the "Bare necessities".

 

I mean, I had sympathies for him because of his situation, but he's definitely written and played to be a jerk.

And for some reason, the name "Mowgli" just always makes me laugh.
