There is a moment, deep in the murk of Supergirl's climax, where the screen turns the exact color of a phone left face-down on wet concrete mixed with shades
Christopher Nolan puts butts in seats.
Spider-man will put butts on seats.
Supergirl is not well known enough to be a must-see, especially when only one rebooted DCU film has come out so far. The track record for the DCU pre-reboot is still likely hurting Gunns universe.
It also doesn’t help that the Chuds crawl out of their basements to complain loudly whenever a film stars a woman.
I bought a projector for what it would’ve cost for me to take myself and my kids to the movies 3 times. It’s actually really nice to enjoy the classics outdoors/indoors, wherever.
We have watched so many movies we’ve upgraded to a better speaker, and got a mini popcorn machine.
Oh yeah Flavacol is the best. I also really like using coconut oil.
Ours is 8 oz(1 cup kernels) but it’s a true popcorn machine because it does the heating, and the turning. I really like it. It’s enough to feed 10 people with a little bowl, and it only takes ~10 minutes so it’s easy to make seconds, and I’ve never had anyone have room for thirds.
We tried an air popper but I just can’t get the right flavor
I’ve gone to the theater about a dozen times so far this year and only during Project Hail Mary in the full IMAX theater on opening weekend was some teen on his phone for a few minutes towards the end and got kicked out. Every other time everyone has been respectful.
On top of it costing too much, it’s usually full of assholes on their phones, it stops me bringing my own snacks/costs way to much to buy them there, cannot pause for bathroom breaks and I usually pay for parking.
But the biggest reason… I cannot smoke cones at the theatre, fuck that.
Eh, I’m sure it’ll do fine on streaming.
None of us can afford to go to the movie theater anymore so this sort of story means nothing.
Odyssey is doing great in theaters though…
People will pay for a known quantity.

Beyond worth it.
I will likely bever step into a theatre again
I’m semi intrigued by this. How is it? And what kind of volume does it turn out?
I’ve actually become boss at making popcorn on the stove though. I watch a lot of movies.
If you haven’t come across it yet, Flavacol is amazing for getting that cinema popcorn buzz.
Flavacol is insanely good, and it’s stupidly cheap.
Preach!!! I got gifted my first one and it lasted like 4 years and going. I have a fresh one lined up.
I sprinkle it on my roast potatoes now while they’re still in the oven. Nom nom nom. Amazing gear.
Try it on fries as well, a little goes a long way.

Yup. I see about a movie in theaters a year. Would have gone to see this one if I didn’t need to eat food to live.
I’ve sworn off the cinema these days. Way too many theater talkers who lack the ability to shut the fuck up
I see people say that on here occasionally. Does nobody tell them to pipe down? I’ve yet to come across any thankfully.
