@Sunsy Did you know some AMC theaters has Dine-In?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAy there.

@HotGoomba Surprisingly, I didn't know that until recently when I was looking up their theater and noticed the "Dine-In" on some of them. The local one I go to is not one of those. I think it's pretty cool idea, especially being someone who loves having movie and a dinner on some nights.

The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!

I found Helen Keller movie by Disney from YouTube and it was pretty good despite I wish it explore more the Helen's side from her grown up age.

I am going to go see the marcel the shell with shoes on movie on Sunday. I watched the YouTube series however long ago it came out (I think it was 2011) and am exited to see what seems to be a really wholesome movie.

I fear no man
but that thing:
The carrot minigame from bowser's inside story
it scares me

@Kermit1
I was surprised that Helen Keller's movie was released by Disney.
Helen Keller's history was something interesting to know as she was blind and deaf in her toddler age after she got fever for quite long, her attitude was a mess in her childhood due to get spoiled by her parents, the struggle of Anne Sullivan as her teacher to teach Helen from spoiled brats into successful author and activist of disable peoples.

@Anti-Matter Yea, I thought for a second this might be an ABC film but I googled who made it and wow it was Disney.

@NeonPizza I like Back to The Future (1) because I love the story and how it's both the first and last film... Because time travel!!! (I love the whole trilogy)

(Weird Science is not my jam, but if you like it more power to you)

@NeonPizza It's funny because I used to think it was a perfect film until I rewatched it a while ago and thought how boring it was, its highschool romance plot. I think you have to be in the right mood to enjoy its sense of humor.

But the reason I thought it was a perfect film was because of its script. It had a very solid story structure that moved the plot forward at a good pace, not to mention its good use of story setups and payoffs. As a story, academically speaking, it was a well-written script. As a story, emotionally speaking, it's a bit too schmaltzy for my taste over the years.

BttF2 bored me though because it tried to continue what's essentially a story that didn't need continuation. I felt like the first film had a perfect conclusion that 1) developed Marty's character perfectly, and 2 left the rest of Marty's adventures to the audience's imagination. The '80s style future they tried to show in the 2nd film just didn't really impress me.

I was born in 1990, so I had no appreciation for the '50s either, but I like what they tried to do with Marty's character in the first film, with him appreciating how their parents got together and their love for each other. It's a very wholesome, sappy kind of film like that, but it's also why it's a bit too wholesome for me the way old sitcoms like I Love Lucy and The Brady Bunch are.

Man, one movie that i've never really cared for from the 80's will forever be the first Back to the Future.

Yup, that's definitely an unpopular opinion. I love that movie but hey, if it doesn't work for you, it doesn't work. Movies are subjective after all.

I envy you. I want to see that movie so badly but unfortunately A24 movies have a hard time getting theatrical releases in my country. If they do, they're usually already available on digital or streaming elsewhere.

Side note: can't help but wonder if @Fizza has seen Luca by now. 🤔

@seaboyluca A24 pretty much don't exist where I live. I don't think I've ever seen a A24 film, but Marcel the shell is on my list of must sees this year.

I own 2 NECA Back to The Future figures and the trilogy on DVD so I don't think I can talk about not liking Back to The Future. I've spent too much...

I know the feeling. Their films tend not to be released in Singapore either because of their mature and controversial subject matter. But that's why I'm glad streaming services exist.

@Maxenmus Ah, adult subject matter like the one with the sheep kid set in the mountains (that has a real sheep in it, I think) I've never seen it so I could be miss remembering things from a review I saw.

Maxenmus

@Kermit1 Yeah, or like "The Witch" or "Midsommar". I also like those films because of their horror subject matter though, especially when they differentiate themselves intellectually from your bargain-bin slashers like Friday the 13th, or as Scream 5 calls it, "Elevated Horror." lol

@Maxenmus... I'm not really a fan of horror and I will not go further because I'd just be treading the same water again.

But I don't films shouldn't have scary moments.

@Kermit1 Yeah, that's understandable. I grew up cynical, so I tend to embrace horror films and stories more easily, I guess. lol I love stories that explore the dark side of human nature. Like I said, I'm cynical.

@Kermit1 I would think so. I've never watched it, but I have often heard it's "too scary for kids." I might watch it someday.

@Maxenmus The Netflix prequel show is 10/10 darker than the original but is kinda a meh show tbh.
