It all started when me and my family decided to go to Cloudy With A chance Of Meatballs in 3D. I never really went to the theatre when I was younger I liked to stay home and watch VHS tapes and DVDs. This was to be my first 3D movie, at the time when I would go to the movies, my stomach would feel like it had butterflies in it and I thought I was ill, but really I was hyped without knowing what hype was (this explains why I was the washroom so long). The movie didn't scare me or the 3D, just the giant screen with the loud sound and feeling hyped. Then the day comes where Toy Story 3 is out, I had completely forgotten I was going to see it that day and the car was going to be in the auto-shop that day. So I got dropped off at the theatre with three of my older cousins (way older than me at the time) and we went in to go watch the movie... I got that feeling again (I should also note the last film I had seen at that time was Yogi Bear in 3D, and I think that was the start of the washroom thing, my memories a mess past 2011). I only sat in the theatre seat for a minute before I went to the bathroom with my eldest cousin, at least the pre-show and trailers were around 30 minutes lol. After 40mins I got out of the washroom and we went back in, I did not put my 3D glasses on which made everything easier for me to handle (mentally) and after the movie was over me and my cousins walked to my house and I led the way, I remember that walk the most out of the whole day.
The movie to cure my fear of theatres was Rise Of The Guardians, my Mom and Dad went to that movie and my Mom said it was good and she wanted to see it again, so I went and really liked it.
if anyone wants to ask me about my time watching Nine Lives in theatres I'd be glad too
Movie related, a friend and I found out that Trolls World Tour is going to be shown at two local theaters this summer. Hoping something works out so we can both go as this will make up for something we planned a little over two years ago.
We both wanted to see the movie on the big screen together, but we all know what happened. So hopefully this will be our chance, otherwise the wait for Trolls 3 begins (as if it hasn't already begun, lol).
The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!
@RR529 If only I could go back in time and tell myself I didn't have to use the washroom and it was only hype and butterflies giving the feeling in my stomach then I'd probably feel better.
I remember when the The Lego Movie came out on my birthday and feeling SO hyped that my favourite toys were to be a movie. Let's just say I was super hyped, and I didn't get let down. Sadly Star Wars: The Force Awakens did not live up to that hype as a 10-ish year old seeing that movie.
If one thing is certain, it's that going to the cinema as much as I have this summer has me really wishing for another 3D push.
Granted, I know there's issues with 3D TVs (everyone needing glasses & all that), but there's no reason personal devices such as phones shouldn't be able to have 3D as an option (using glasses free tech similar to the 3DS). Then Disney, Universal, & WB can add the 3D versions of their blockbusters to their various streaming services.
Heck, from what I understand 3D movies actually work inside VR headsets, so there's no reason Disney shouldn't already have 3D movies on Disney+ for those that have headsets.

Honestly, 3D can go the way of the dodo for all I care.
I never understood the appeal of it. Cinematographers spend all this time and money to get the perfect brightness and colours on screen and then the audience puts tinted glasses before their eyes.
Lol, I'm sorry, but 3D really isn't for me.
@Tremblucay, certainly not everything needs to be in 3D (and it should only be an option), but when it comes to big spectacle blockbusters it absolutely can be an asset (Multiverse of Madness looked absolutely sick in 3D).
Also, with the idea I suggested (glasses free 3D on personal devices like phones), you obviously wouldn't need the glasses.

I'm skipping Thor Love And Thunder to go see Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1, I'm binge watching all the films (besides 2 that one hurts my eyes), I'm doing 2 a week minus the last right before 7 I'm doing just 6 (because I skipped 2).
Have any of you seen Knives Out? It's a really good whodunnit, but I'm horrified for the Netflix sequel. If not handled correctly, it could be absolutely horrible.
I watched Apollo 13 this morning. It starred Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, & Bill Paxton as the astronauts involved in the Apollo 13 mission & how through ingenious ingenuity (& with help from those on the ground within NASA) they miraculously managed to safely make their way back to Earth after an oxygen leak in their craft.
I thought it was excellent. Some of the CGI effects near the beginning of the film were starting to show their age (like the shots of the surrounding area around the rocket), but it was much more of a character drama & everything within the capsule was believable & edge of your seat tense.

@HotGoomba I watched Knives Out the other day actually, it was really good. Why are you so apprehensive about the sequel? (I don't know anything about it other than the title.)
@Dogorilla Something about it being a Netflix exclusive worries me. However, I'm gonna have an open mindset when the movie releases. I don't even know if there's a trailer yet or not.
