Brian Fowler Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 The downside for me is that the nearest AMC is *checks Google maps* a 55 minute drive one way from me. Honestly, $15 a month would still be a steal if they weren't also blacking out new releases that open on 1,000+ screens for the first two weeks (unless the studio pays them not too) but that's the other big part of their deck chair rearrangement.

Brian Fowler Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Also, there's an open question of how much MoviePass might be responsible for the massive upturn at the box office this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 We have a Cinemark theater and an AMC here. The Cinemark one is the kind with the ultra nice motorized recliners and assigned seating. The AMC theater has the same dirty and shitty seats they've had since they opened 20 years ago or so. And no assigned seating. If get that AMC pass in a heartbeat if the one here would improve at all. I'm cancelling my Cinemark pass this month because it's a waste if you don't go each month. $9 a month and only 1 free ticket a month. 20% off concessions and no online fees though. Still, it's just not worth it now that the summer movie season is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driver Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I love the hell out of Movies 14. I have their pass and have made good use of it. AMC bought the theater here in Elkhart as well. Can't remember the last time I was there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 When I can, I try to go to the Sunday matinee at the local AMC Dine-In, which is around $5.50 and change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivpvideos Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Signed up for the AMC A-List gimmick. It is really fantastic. If AMC got all the quirky films and one offs I would switch to that exclusively. Going to give Moviepass a little more time to get their shit together before I cancel. $15 a month to be able to see the indie movies/special screenings like I did with Alien a few weeks back is worth it and use the AMC card for the new releases on the IMAX screen.

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I'm using Sinemia. It's cheap, the customer service is awful, and I feel like I've overstretched with 5 movies a month and not looking like a negligent parent. If I could see more than one on the same day, that'd be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Mostly I just go to Neighborhood Cinema in the next town over. Matinees before noon are $5, after noon $5.75 until 6 pm, then I think $7.50. it pays for the extra gas and then some compared to Celebration (and honestly it's only about five more minutes each way) here in town, but thus far I don't think either of them have a subscription service. Sinemia might be worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuerrillaMonsoon Posted August 2, 2018 Share Posted August 2, 2018 The Breaker-Upperers. I'll pretty much watch anything Taika Waititi, and this has some really funny quotables, but this isn't anything new, and encroaches self-parody territory. 6/10.

I hadn't watched this since I was 7 and, holy shitsnacks, this is a lot of murdering. It's really a wonder the whole U.S. didn't end up gun-happy, jingoistic, violent, and car obsessed with this as 80s children's fare. Wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(BP) Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Blackkklansman is a really good movie that’s counterintuitively enhanced by a complete disregard for subtlety about drawing comparisons to current events. It also has one of Spike Lee’s best uses of the people-mover shot right up there with Malcolm X and The 25th Hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
