One of the local theaters had The Return as coming soon but they're not actually playing it lmao.

lmao mine did that with didi smh

i was so pissed

They do that a lot, and then sometimes play movies that are not on their Coming Soon. One theater said they were playing The Menu - and had a POSTER up and and all - then never did, but the theater next town over never said they were and added it suddenly the Thursday it came out.

Update: It is most certainly still on their Coming Soon page, but I think this must be auto-populated from some weird list because the other Coming Soon things are Interstellar: IMAX Exclusive (it is def not an IMAX theater), Devils Stay (a Korean movie), Laufey's A Night at the Symphony, Werewolves, Y2K, NCT DREAM Mystery Dreamscape, and Daft Punk and Leiji Matsumoto: Interstella 5555. I highly doubt they will show any of them.

My local regal isn’t using some of their screens, I hope they’re just renovating seats or something, because I am NOT going to be happy with all thats coming out soon if we don’t get a variety of newer movies. Nothing is opening this week besides Y2K. Its a bummer.

The biggest theater in my area - which only has 6 screens, mind you, so not big - isn't using one of theirs and this weekend is only playing Moana 2 on two screens and one each for Wicked, Gladiator 2, and Red One of all things.

What the hell?? You absolutely hate to see that.

It's the theater that claims they're showing The Return and Y2K and most certainly are not, too LOL. The theater in my town is also showing Bonhoeffer but not every day. I guess that's their Christian movie of the month until Homestead starring Neal McDonough comes out.

Finished our LotR rewatch last night with Return of the King. We only ever watch the extended editions, so I knew this one in particular would take a minute, and we finished just before midnight, lol. I cried at the end, as I always do!! Perfect trilogy.

Tonight, we're going to see Day of the Fight with a Q&A. Then tomorrow, we're going to see The End, also with a Q&A. Will definitely get to Y2K and The Order eventually, too, but this month is really packed.

I saw Nightbitch at a film festival in October and really enjoyed it! It's not an award movie, but it's fun, and I liked Amy a lot.

The extended versions are the only way to watch LotR. Once you’ve seen them, you can never go back. My sister also always rewatches them around Christmas time.

I flew over the holidays and saw Trap and A Quiet Place: Day One. Trap was OK but had a lot of problems. Good enough for a flight. But I really liked A Quiet Place. I thought Lupita and Joe were amazing and did so much without words, and Djimon had such an impactful presence, too. It felt like more of an emotional human story than the previous two, which were horror/action with a few emotional moments thrown in.

We may take our daughter to see Moana this weekend, but she's getting over a cold and my husband and I are coming down with it, so not great odds. It will be her first movie theater experience so I don't want it to be too challenging.
