The Substance on Netflix

I saw Megalopolis in theatres

Went to the kinoplex to watch Megalopolis, I didn't think it was that bad, the acting was just more like a regular theater than movie acting.

Look Back in the theater

Hmm, either Oppenheimer or Poor Things I think. I support new IPs in Hollywood in concept, but a lot of them just don’t interest me is the problem. Looking forward to Nosferatu this month tho!

Heretic. In theaters, I think opening weekend.

It was, BTW, absolutely fantastic. They absolutely nailed Mormon doctrine and dogma, as well as the practices of missionaries. I highly recommend it.

Finally got around to to watching Guardians of the Galaxy vol. 3. I liked it a lot. Rented it on Amazon Video.

Before that, I watch 'The 5th Wave' which I think falls under the context of OPs question. Rented on Amazon Video. Garbage movie. Saw it because I saw a single clip of the movie that looked good. It was the only part of the movie that was good.

And before that one, I watched 'Smile'. Dumb, lazy, predictable writing. Rented on Amazon Video.

Before that, I watched 'The Edge of Sleep'. Very good series. Also Amazon Video.

Finally, 'The Menu', also Amazon Video. I liked it.

I saw all that for probably the cost of a single movie theater ticket. A matinee ticket right now, for my local theater (ordered online) is $17.60. I think the rent price of each of those movies was maybe $4 and 'Edge of Sleep' is free.

The substance last week in a rocking indie theatre. Lots of.collective "ohhhhhhhhhhhh."

Watched A Real Pain in the theater with maybe 5 other people.

I've watched a few older original movies here and there on streaming at home, but I guess the last time I went to the theater for one was Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. I don't really go to the theater much in general anymore. Last time I went was for Dune 2 (mostly because I like the director more so than I'm interested in the franchise) and it was so loud I thought it was going to damage my eardrums.

That aside, if I'm gonna go see something, I want some reason that isn't just brand recognition. A director I like, some good reviews, maybe an interesting premise, etc.

Embrace of the Serpent at home on streaming. Simple and beautifully shot in black and white. It was what I wanted from a movie, a great story that was well told. It’s definitely original.

The last great movie I watched (TV) has been "Arrival". Enjoyed it a lot.

Oppenheimer was the latest original movie I watched for the 1st time. I watched it at home... 'nuff said

Snatch. With my eyes.

Upgrade was an original movie i saw that wasn't terrible. Although I'm sure the idea of a guy putting an AI in his head plot has been done before.

I hardly watch movies anymore since I find the format limited compared to TV shows.

Last TV show - Slow Horses season 4

Last original movie in a movie theater was probably the Pokemon Movie.

Last movie in a movie theater was Dune part one. (Which for one was a hell of a good remake tbh)

I think it was The Whale, in theaters with my sister

Civil War in the theater, at home, I just recently watched They Live, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Wizards, and X at home. I have a biweekly movie night group and we were the only ones in the theater for Beau is Afraid.

Last weekend I saw Conclave in the theater. It was pretty good.

Heretic in theatre. Was pretty good

Red One. It was shit. Don't recommend.

a Serbian film.
