You have to barter for that? You're married, you should be getting the goods for free.

I'm not big on movie theaters either. I don't fit in the seats very well.

The buttered popcorn removes any problems there might be.

They need to invent a system that gets the butter and salt more uniformly applied top to bottom. The bags suck.

the Academy is very picky with its "ethnic" film choices. i mean there were two other big name films out there this year like "top five" and "dear white people" that may have gotten recognition but didn't, either.

what's insulting is that "selma" is nominated for best picture, the most prestigious award of the evening, but barely anything else. if it's seen as a "best picture", why isn't the director or actor at least nominated, too? i guess the worst would've been if wilkinson was nominated for LBJ but that was all...

i'm thinking the director's tweets about LBJ and whatnot may have had a hand in her snubbing. do not rock the boat if you wanna be in the Academy's circle. make a controversial movie, not a controversial statement.

Top 5 was very interesting. The hotel scene was surprising and hilarious.

It was a good movie. Oscar worthy? No. DMX made me pee my pants though.

You should sit in the back like I do so you won't block the view of others.

If you had a science or engineering background you could probably invent a system for that and become a bazillionaire

Agreed. He had a little bit of everything in that movie.

Bags????

We get a tub and you have them partly fill it with popcorn and then apply salt and butter, then fill it up and repeat with salt and butter.

You need to find a different movie theater.

The best part of being divorced is I barely have to watch TV shows and I only go to the movies a few times a year (over the winter) to entertain my kids.
Fuck Hollywood.

She was chubby in Dark Knight.

I saw her in a very odd movie on cable where she had lost her legs and was being mercy fed by a guy who made a living street boxing in France.

She's like 40 and has had a kid. Plus, she's tall and could wear it well if true. She's not a Barbie Doll, she's an artiste.

Last I have seen of here here:

Read an article about that today. First time in a while not any black people. Then it occurred to me how many movies do people see that have a black in a prominent role? On top of that they must be award worthy. Numbers game? Denzel was busy?

I liked The Equalizer

I just finished watching The Equalizer, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Think "Die Hard" set in a Builder's Square, or Home Depot.
It was a fun movie.

Saw Boyhood last night and it was pretty good. Very interesting to see the characters grow
And change over the 12 years of filming.

Are you saying you lather up in the butter before attempting to wedge yourself in for the show?

I'm sorry you're poor.

I have a theater in my house. Much cleaner & quieter.

Saw American Sniper on Saturday late matinee. Glad I got there 15 minutes early as it was a
sold out show. Really good movie. I wasn't sure how I was feeling about it but the last 45
minutes really pulled it together for me. I knew how it was going to end but Eastwood did a
nice job wrapping it up cleanly and succinctly. No one moved during the credits until the final
real life footage wrapped up. Heard some muffled sniffles. Absolutely worth seeing, some of
it seemed unbelievable but most of the details seem to be backed up with mostly truth.

I like going to the movies and seeing it on the big screen. I don't particularly care for
how much the concessions cost though.

I sneaked a 4 pack of High Life tallboys into the last movie I saw at Tinseltown.
I think it was "The Lego Movie".
