![r/Cinema - The Godfather (1972)](http://web.archive.org./web/20240803034810im_/https://preview.redd.it/the-godfather-1972-v0-dwyftthze9n51.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=3d0f20771d9ea070576ccffccc12ee6bd0551691)
Thursday evening, decided to see a 8.30pm showing of Longlegs. An art house horror that has done little box office. Booked two tickets and the theatre was empty. Arrive at the theatre and it is so busy, huge numbers queuing for Deadpool. Showings for that all sold out so suddenly Longlegs also sells out. Presumably those who hadn't booked Deadpool decided to flood Longlegs. Queue a miserable cinema experience of a great movie. Phones ringing, one woman actually took the call, pointing at the screen, talking loud throughout, people moving about constantly, shoes and socks taken off. Absolutely put me off ever going back to a mainstream cinema chain. I know the advice - choose your showtimes carefully (I thought I did) and use smaller cinemas etc - but that really shouldn't be the answer. People should care about the experience of their neighbours. A bit of consideration, it's not asking much but appears it now is. I don't know if this says more about those who are interested in the MCU or societal behaviour generally but it's pretty depressing because I'm pretty confident theatre behaviour is steadily and consistently deteriorating. Maybe because of streaming people treat the cinema as though they're at home. Food and drink offerings and reclining armchair options may encourage this too. Or maybe it's just the growth of selfish, individualistic attitudes (stop caring about what others think). I can just speculate but the experience was factual. Is there any point in going to the movies when this is such a risk? Maybe home streaming on a 65inch TV is the way forward? Or should we be grateful for MCU junk so movies like Longlegs can't be shown in the cinema and just suck it up? I think my cinema days are over because I can't ignore anti-social behaviours.
Having loved Poor Things I was expecting great things, but felt I’d watch a film wearing the Emperor’s new clothes. Tell me what you loved about the film. I feel I’ve missed something here
Me and my sister make a film journal and we try to see a movie at the cinema every week. Unable to this week but we want to watch it at home and still fill out the movie journal and stick the movie ticket in like we usually do lol.
If anyone has been to see Longlegs recently and still has their movie ticket, i'd so appreciate it if you could send me a photo or scan of your ticket! My sister would be very happy. Thanks
Which actors/actresses have protrayed grief realistically?
My mom used to call maladaptive dream scenes in movies or shows a “blank scene” or a “blank blank scene”. I feel like it referenced a movie from when she was younger but I cannot think of the name of it.
She grew up in the 60s and 70s but it could have been an 80s show she was referencing. It’s been bugging me and google is not helping.
Hard for me to believe this was made by the same guy who made "Crawl". Mélanie Laurent plays a woman who wakes up inside a capsule with limited oxygen left, and has no memory of how she got there. The whole film we follow her trying to find a way out of the capsule. For a movie that takes place mostly in the same spot, the world building is actually kind of impressive.
When watching a film, what is your preferred aspect ratio that it utilizes?
