Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

I just went and saw Chronicle in theaters a couple weeks ago. It was more of a "we're bored, we have some cash, lets go see it" kinda deal. It wasn't a "omg, we're huge fanboys that have been waiting to see this movie since we read the script" deal lol. Honestly I don't go to movies that much anymore not because there's stuff not worth seeing, but mostly because it's pretty expensive. And I'm willing to wait until 6 months after the movie comes out and I can catch it on Redbox for 1/12th of the price.

I can remember when I was like 7 or 8 and my folks would take me to the matinee show and the total for 3 tickets was like $15.

I can only imagine how cheap it was for some of the older members back in the day.

It was definitely under $5 for a matinee when I was a kid.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

Luckily there's a movie theater in the area that does $5 movies every day on any movie starting between 4-530 and $1 popcorn and drinks on Tuesdays.

Re: Merged: The Movies Thread

Anybody see Project X? Is it any good? I'm torn on it, I've heard differing opinions on the subject, with some friends saying it's the most badass movie alive and other friends saying it's just another teenage flick about getting laid.

Also I'm pretty sure I posted this in this thread a few years ago, but my favorite martial arts movie of all time without a doubt has to be Jet Li's Fearless. It's not even the martial arts that makes me love it, it's the excellent story line. I watched it tonight with a couple friends for the first time in years (thanks Netflix streaming) and it just reaffirmed my love for it.

Don't know about Project X, will probably wait for rental, but as far as martial arts movies go, you should check out Ip Man if you haven't already. It's about the guy who trained Bruce Lee with Donnie Yen as the lead.
