Good Movie, Bad Movie, Bad Experience

January 28, 2018, 16:47(EST) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Please Stand By
“Dakota Fanning stars as a woman who escapes a group home hoping to get her Star Trek script produced in Hollywood. On the way she must conquer a new world full of challenges.”
This is in theaters but is also on Comcast PPV which is how I watched it. I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.

Hostiles
Way too long and too boring. I’m not sure what the message was except, “all men suck, especially white men”.
It was well acted.

The Movie Theater
I’ve gone off on the movie going experience before. We walk up. +100 people in line. The kiosk/auto ticket line is shorter but only one of the two computers are operational. 20 minute wait. Get inside, a 10 minute wait for the ticket taker. Someone cuts and the teenage ticket taker lets this happen. Since I am almost next I speak up on behalf of the multitude,”Why would you let him through, he obviously cut the line.” Before he can answer an off-duty but uniformed Barney Fife sticks his nose in, “There are 2 lines” he says. “No there is not”, I answer. “Yeah”, says the woman in front of me to the cop. He backs off and I let it go. Now the concession line. They have one of those winding rope patterns set up for it. It looks to be at least a 20 minute wait. No popcorn for me.
There are 7 movies previews. There are commercials for the Coke and popcorn that apparently they think I paid to watch. There reminders to STFU. There are reminders to silence your phones that several people obviously ignore. Ditto for texting.
And they wonder why people don’t go to movies.

    This is why I rarely go to see a movie at a theater. Too expensive and most movies are not worth watching, or a remake of a 30 year old movie. They have zero creativity these days.
