Gone to the movies lately?

[WelshWitchPMD]

I haven’t gone to see a movie in years I think. I went yesterday afternoon, which was nice because it was not very crowded. We went to go see The 40-Year-Old Virgin. It was funny in some parts. I liked it.

Do you go a lot and what have you seen lately that was good? In the previews that they show before the movie I did not see anything that appealed to me. I was hoping for an Elizabethtown preview but no. That will mostly likely be the next movie that I go see for obvious reasons.
I can get passes at work for $6.00, too.

Preach it, sister. I know how you feel.

We did get to the drive-in last weekend to see 40 Year Old Virgin and Wedding Crashers. Had a great time, both movies are very funny. My new thing is to say to friends & family "you wanna know how I know you're gay?"

I'd like to see Corpse Bride, and the sequel to Saw when it comes out (october?) That's about it, right now.

Corpse Bride wasn't that great.

I didn't know they were making a sequel to Saw, but then, I didn't understand the buzz (no pun intended) around the first one.

The one movie that I'm really looking forward to is Walk the Line, but I have no idea when it's supposed to be released. I keep reading all these rave reviews about Joaquin Phoenix and how he should be a strong contender for best actor at the Academy Awards (apparently he even did his own singing for the movie) but no mention on its release date. I adore JP and from the pics I've seen of him in this one, he's looking pretty darn good these days.

Ah, the drive in. There is still one here in RI and that movie was playing there, too. It was the last weekend for the drive in too but we had passes for the Showcase already.
Wow what a dying form of entertainment. They have all been knocked down to build strip malls and fancy condos.

Saw Corpse Bride last night and was rather disappointed. It wasn't bad per se, but just wasn't what I had expected or hoped for. It just lacked the magic of Nightmare Before Christmas.
And the previews? Looked pretty damned dismal. Granted, for that kind of movie it's to be expected that they'd show previews for kids movies... but I generally enjoy kids movies. The only one that looked even tolerable was Chicken Little, and that ain't saying much.

I don't get to the movies as much as I'd like, since I have a little one at home. But I did get out last week to see Wedding Crashers. I thought it was hilarious! Don't know when I'll get to see another movie.

November 18th.

Reese Witherspoon did all of her own singing in it, too.

I read that, too, but little miss bubbly with a pointy chin doesn't appeal to me so I just kind of ignored that little fact.

You're welcome, I'm kind of enthused to see it, myself.

All the reviews I've read say that she knocks it out of the park and will probably get an Oscar nod. I've always liked her (especially in Election), so we'll see.

not a movie theatre person...Last movie we saw in a theatre was the latest Harry Potter movie.

Will be seeing the next Harry Potter movie on November 18th (Probably at the 3 screen theatre here since admission is only $3.50)

Me neither. All that popcorn chomping, getting up and down, yacking through the whole thing. And that's just me during the previews! Seriously, I usually wait for the DVD. But the last movie I saw was "Must Like Dogs" and it was just me and one other lady in there. After seeing this movie, now I know why!

Hmm, if she can actually sing, maybe she can play Stevie! I'll get started on that screen play.
