This looks like one movie that I might break down and go see on the big screen...its supposed to be based on the story of Hugh Glass, the trapper and frontiersman.

I agree...that one looks like it has some serious potential.

DiCaprio is like Tom Cruise. I can't stand either one of them as people, but they do some damned good movies.

Speaking of parody, this has been going around for a day or two, LOL


[I]It was reported yesterday that, while on the Alberta set of his new film The Revenant, actor Leonardo DiCaprio was sexually assaulted by his co-star, an adult 800-pound grizzly bear. The assault occurred while DiCaprio was attempting to film a brutal scene depicting his character’s (real-life historical frontiersman Hugh Glass) desperate struggle to survive an encounter with the bear. DiCaprio’s harrowing tale of bear-rape survival was broken on the Drudge Report and quickly started trending on social media. But soon thereafter our media began (and irresponsibly so, I might add) questioning whether the rape had in fact happened at all, suggesting that perhaps it was all made up to drum up publicity for the film — or possibly for a forthcoming book by the famous heartthrob titled “Not That Kind of Griz.”

This ^^^ is parody of "rape culture" hysteria. The bear rape story itself is not a parody,though. LOL. That really circulated. Just in case you're wondering.


It's a strange world we're living in.

Leo was just exercising his constitutional right to be kept in a bears arms.

This must be a remake of "Man in the Wilderness" with Richard Harris from way back when. I'll be seeing this one too. :tu:

I'm surprised theaters are even open anymore.

Who goes, except for parents taking kids to Disney movies?

I still like to go, but only for flicks that really demand the big-screen experience (either because of special effects or just really epic cinematography). It also helps if you have one of these sorts of places to go (for the past 2 years this has been the only movie theater we'll go to):

It's FAR nicer than the regular chain theaters (AMC, Cinemark, etc). No little kids allowed in the "Marquee" screens, and the balcony sections where we sit have really comfortable reclining seats in the balcony sections and food + cocktail service right to your seat. The food and drinks are simple, with prices being a little more than what you would pay for it at the local burger joint, but not by that much (especially when you factor in what even popcorn, candy and soda costs at pretty much any theater). The premium we pay for the "Marquee" balcony tickets is only about $4.25 each compared with normal theaters...and well worth every penny.

Here's where we sit upstairs while waiting to go in. Yes, that's a full bar in the background:



Here's a photo I found of some random guy in the Marquee seating perusing the menu before the show starts. I know, I know...his purse doesn't really match his outfit:



We had sworn off going out to movies too...until these sorts of places came along. It was a game-changer.

Oh, yeah...I forgot to add one of the other benefits of the "Marquee Suites": Reserved seating. Buy your tickets on-line ahead of time and you get a graphic display of the seating layout that allows you to choose (notice that I avoided saying "pick") your seats.

Meanwhile, the after-lunch speaker at the Dallas Board of CPA seminar is wondering where his audience went.

He KNEW he shouldn't have let the event administrator hand out the continuing ed certificates before the end of the day!


LOL

LOL...You must have been burned on that before at some point...:wink
