ORIGINAL: mdr080480 I was surprised by how much the size of theaters had shrunk. Both were enjoyable, but I rather watch movies at home. You can pause for interruptions, and you can be sure that the only noises to be had can be controlled. Yeah, much as I *love* watching a good movie on a big screen, everyone thinks they're in their living room, after watching videos at home, and they chat freely in the theaters, during the movie. That has made it not worth the increasing expense and shrinking screens. The exceptions are special showing, such as at conventions and film festivals, where people are more likely to be focused and excited to see the film. quote:
Point Break, now there's a movie I've seen roughly 150 times, watched it every other day with friends in the summer of '93 or '94 Point Break! Kathryn Bigelow rocks! She did Blue Steel and Near Dark, by the way, also mentioned in this thread. quote:
I may be one of the few that enjoyed Vanilla Sky, but even though Tom Cruise is in it, that is one of my favorites. What? Tom Cruise is a genius actor. No matter what people think of him, off screen, no one can take that away from him. I think I was most impressed with him, in Magnolia. Your mentioning Vanilla Sky reminds me of Solaris. That's an amazing film. I hear the original Soviet film, Solyaris, is, too. And Hitchcock is peerless. He said some fascinating things about directing and storytelling, when you read about him. Anyway, I mostly had to say, yes, Point Break!
