Great visual effects, cinematography, action sequences and direction, produced and directed by Gareth Edwards, who co-wrote the screenplay with Chris Weitz. - Score: Hans Zimmer.

I love these guys

If you’re not familiar, this is one of my favorite bits they did on SNL. Very Firesign.

As are we.  The deal with theaters was no sooner than 45 days, so it'll be after December 4.  Hopefully, it'll be available over the holidays.

THE MAN FROM EARTH

PURE ART OF ACTING. 
SIENCE FICTION WITHOUT A SINGLE SF EFFECT. 

IT'S LIKE A  LISTENING OLD STORY AND THE MOVIE IS AN IMAGINATION IN THE HEAD. 

NEXT TO INTERSTELLAR, THIS ONE IS MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. AND I'M NOT RELIGIOUS AT ALL.

I understand that one cannot get in any theater showing it around here.

Killers of the Flower Moon.

saw it at the Kentucky Theater this past saturday - it was really something.

Searched the forums and no one has mentioned RRR. 
Yes, it's violent. Now watch one of the most astounding movies I've seen in a long time.

I enjoyed this one more than the first.  It was great how they varied illustration styles in it for different scenes - going from standard CGI stuff to comic-book-looking to minimal illustration. and several other styles.  Certain scenes paid an homage to José Antonio Muñoz, one of my favorite artists.

The Sony Spiderman movies are amazing. We re-watched the first one last night before seeing the matinee of the new one today. Every single frame is thoughtful and creative, with some bursts of a second that use different looks and styles. I thought after the first one, I'd be less amused/surprised by another one. Nope, I couldn't take my eyes off of it. The seats downtown are brutally uncomfortable though. Worth it. Despite how this looks in a trailer, it's somehow easy to forget it's animation. The first one won best animated feature. It's time for at least a nomination for Best Picture because the thing is just that remarkable.

Anti-recommendation for Avatar: Way of Water.
Beautiful, technologically astounding.

But an amalgam of other ideas, and some ham-handed preaching about whale slaughter and the evil of the White Man. And - no spoiler here - at the end there's a boat that turns over as they climb up the side, and then are trapped under in small air pockets and all I could think was that he'd already made Titanic once before.
My Better Half™ wanted to walk out at the cruelty and violence that was part of the "message." I thought that the first movie was Pochahontas, and this was Vietnam (come into the indigenous people's homes and try to hunt them).

The good part: I didn't know Jermaine was in it! And his American accent kept coming and going. Fun.

That's so cool that you sat next to Jason Bateman on the plane.

Watched Bad Words w/ Jason Bateman on the plane. If you like his style, this is a gem. Can't figure out how I missed it until now.

Yeah, don't believe how I sat through that crap until the ending.  Had some decent names too, how did they all read that script and go 'yeah, I'll be associated with this turd'?

I saw the funniest movie last night. It was hilarious for the maximum cringe factor. Take a look at 'Moonfall'. 
It's on HBO/HBO Max. You have to watch it all the way through because you will not believe the ending...
