I don't go to theatres because I don't support Hollywood and the leftist trash that comes from there.
The lovely wife and me went to see Fatman (Mel Gibson Santa Clause CIA ops movie) over the holidays. There were more employees than moviegoers and the beer was cheap. We had a great time!
What is "LOL at the anti-theater crowd" supposed to mean?
Its' depressing that this is the kind of movie that gets people back in theaters.
That's what I was wondering - who are the "anti-theatre crowd"?
Clearly there are a lot of anti-Hollywood folks on here, but I don't think that is what the OP was going for. I think it is related to Covid-19, but I would think people on both sides of the spectrum are happy that we can safely go back to the theatre (even if there is nothing worth seeing there).
Humorous. Anti-lockdown folks want back in theaters, but also don’t want back in theaters because they would support Hollywood. It’s a conundrum.
No conundrum at all. Because choosing not to go to the movie theatre isn't a political issue for everyone.
I'm a "leftie," and I've been uninterested in most of what Hollywood produces for a couple of decades. Has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with the fact that most of the stuff isn't worth watching, let alone paying money for.
Garbage is garbage; doesn't matter who creates it.
I love movies. Have since I was a little kid. My first job that wasn't mowing yards and throwing newspapers was in a movie theater, and I woke every Saturday morning in high school absolutely stoked that I got to go work in a movie theater that day. Even got to be a 35mm projectionist for a couple years.
Unfortunately, they've back loaded the release schedule so much that there is nothing I'm interested in seeing being released until October. All the films on my radar pre-pandemic will be out by December, and after that...well I'm afraid that might be it for the movies. Anything produced now will be so incredibly woke that it won't be worth watching for people who haven't subscribed to the new religion.
It's not the fact that I disagree with most tenants of woke, but that it doesn't serve the art form. Every time I see a character or hear dialog that was shoehorned in to service a woke quota, it takes me right out of it and kills the entertainment value for me.
There are only certain movies that I would see in a theater, James Bond movies, mission impossible movies and movies of the LOTR type. Basically action movies. Love stories and other types I just wait till they are on t.v.
