perhaps not quite the right place for this....I got a chance to see the restored imax version of 2001: A Space Odyssey last night2 hr & 45 min'sthere was an intermissionloved the added scenes, could have done without the addition of more psychedelic visuals when Bowman encounters the monolith however. I believe the restored version added 20 min's back into the film.I don't think i'd go see it again & it was hard watching it - long and not edge of the seat- but i am very very glad i got to see it in IMAX and in a longer format- I beleive there was more scenes on the moon for example.
That's pretty much what we thought, too. Glad we saw it on the big screen but didn't know we should take psychedelic drugs beforehand, lol.
Finally got to see Crazy Rich Asians this week and LOVED it. My husband really liked it too and he's definitely not as into rom-coms as I am.
... Mile 22 is our movie for tomorrow.
It looks like we may see Happytime Murders, but after reading some reviews and what [member=6586]chocolateshake[/member] said, I'm starting to dread it. I might lose that battle though with my family. Still haven't seen BlacKkKlansman, maybe I can sway them....hmmm.
I don't know how old your kids are, but I would seriously consider that before taking them to Happytime. It's a puppet movie but got rated R. I'm not a prude by a long shot but I was cringing through a lot of Happytime. Sure, there were some funny bits. But overall I still don't see what the point of it was.
Re: Mile 22 -- I would like to see Lauren Cohan on the big screen but I refuse to see anything that has Mark Wahlberg in it. His racial violence and request for a pardon, and the whole paycheck thing with the movie reshoots last fall are too much for me. Just my opinion.
While I most definitely do not condone racism or violence, far from it. I also believe in redemption. Those incidents happened a long time ago when he was young. He seems to have tried to live a good life in the last 20 years or so. If we were all defined for life by what we did as teenagers, where would that leave us?This leads into the broader issue of how culturally the US runs it's corrections system compared to much of the rest of the developed world. We treat it as punishment and not as a chance for education on how to fit into society. Our outcomes are horrible compared to the rest of the developed world. We had finally started down the road to prison reform only to have that process aborted in the last 2 years.
This weekend I wanted to see Searching, but it's not playing anywhere in Vegas. It looks like we may see Happytime Murders, but after reading some reviews and what [member=6586]chocolateshake[/member] said, I'm starting to dread it. I might lose that battle though with my family. Still haven't seen BlacKkKlansman, maybe I can sway them....hmmm.
Regarding our corrections system I agree completely. Michael Moore's Where to Invade Next features Norway's prison system and is very eye opening.
