The Substance on Netflix

I saw Megalopolis in theatres

Look Back in the theater

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

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.

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!

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)

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

Heretic in theatre. Was pretty good

wtf have they done to the book

There are original movies? Movies that don't follow the same old 2 peak / 3 act structure?
