Guest NoCalMike Posted October 3, 2002 Report Posted October 3, 2002 Ok, I was just pondering this since Red Dragon will come out tommorow. I was just thinking that the movie/entertainment industry tricks us all into thinking average/good movies are great and instills to us that we must see them. Originally I was so hyped when I saw the preview for Red Dragon I went through all the motions of preperation, yet for some reason with the independent film festival coming to town tommorow, I just don't care about Red Dragon anymore. It kind of puts things in perspective to think there will be movies at this festival that were made for a fraction of hollywood blockbusters, yet will be 100x better in the quality deparment. I am not rich so $9+ is a lot for me to go see movies on a weekly basis. I am not doubting that Red Dragon(among other huge hollywood productions) will be good, it is just that, why do I always find myself settling for GOOD when I should save the $9 for maybe once a month to go see something GREAT. Thoughts?
Guest Lethargic Posted October 3, 2002 Report Posted October 3, 2002 That's what downloading movies is for. Ha. You called Red Dragon good.
Guest C.H.U.D. Posted October 4, 2002 Report Posted October 4, 2002 If I'm interested in seeing a movie, I will go see it, regardless if it's a mainstream Hollywood movie or not. If don't have that much interest, I wait for the DVD to come out and borrow a copy from work to watch.
Guest CoreyLazarus416 Posted October 4, 2002 Report Posted October 4, 2002 No movie has MADE me go to the theaters to see it since I first heard of Evolution, and even then I only saw it in the theaters because my friends wanted to see it...oh yes, and it had HAROLD RAMIS as a writer, with DAN F'N AYKROYD in a big role. All we needed was Murray, I tells ya...BILL, WHY NO GB3 YOU BASTARD?! YOU DO CHARLIE'S ANGELS AND THAT PIECE-OF-SHIT "UPDATED" VERSION OF HAMLET, BUT YOU WON'T DO GB3?! AGH~! Well, I lied. Spider-Man made me want to see it ASAP... Not going to the theater again for a while, though...well, until The Ring makes it to the local indy theater that only charges $4 a person instead of $9 at Hoyts...
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Posted October 4, 2002 Report Posted October 4, 2002 The only time I go to a theater is for a big-budget special effect movie (star wars, etc.) I figure if I'm going to spend an absurd amount of $ to sit in an enclosed space packed with teeny boppers and screaming brats, I might as well get my $'s worth in special effects. Anything else I wait until the DVD comes out...
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 4, 2002 Report Posted October 4, 2002 Goddamn, movies are expensive for you guys. They're only $5.25 here, for the late show anyway.
