    Yes, awful acting is rampant in that movie. If you want to watch it to laugh at how terrible it is, that is something I would understand.

          But c'mon, it's got Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and one of my all-time favorite "hey, it's that guy" guys, Sean Whalen. I'll admit, I'll watch bits of Twister when ever I surf onto it. Yesterday, as a matter of fact.
          What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

                    Anti-Social:

                    Brit movie. Up and coming graffiti artist who is getting looked at by art galleries gets pulled back a little due to his con-man/smash-n-grab robber brother's life.

                    It was an okay action/drama. Theme obviously being both are rebelling against authority, just using different methods. It's a decent time-killer.
                    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                      The 30th Anniversary showing of The Princess Bride is playing on a few screens around town. My gf and I are hitting up the show in a few weeks at the Rosemount theater. It turns out that they get mucho dinero because it's a "special event". $12.50/ticket.

                        Still Alice:

                        Gut-punch of a movie. 50 year old diagnosed with early onset familial Alzheimer's Disease. Tough to watch. Really tough. Highly recommend.

                        And Clown, a local theater did that with Animal House last year. Still worth it to see on the big screen.

                          It is now the #5 movie oh the year. It will not catch Spiderman: Homecoming for #4. It is currently #14 only $125 million away from being in the top 10. It could probably get there but is not slated for a release in China so will likely come up short. It is also now the #6 R-rated film ever released and only needs another $13 million to pass Matrix Revolutions and become #4 all time.

                          Speaking of Spidey, it is now the #4 movie worldwide, passing Wolf Warrior II. What is Wolf Warrior II you ask? A film released almost exclusively in China on July 28. The Chinese prevented any other blockbuster from opening for a month and the result was an impressive $870 million box office. Ironically, most pundits expected Spiderman to remain at #7 but the Chinese blackout helped the webslinger. After only three weeks in release it has banked $130+ and risen to fourth. It is also #4 at the domestic box office but will not catch Guardians of the Galaxy 2 (domestic) or Despicable Me 3 (international) for #3 on either list.

                          Beauty and the Beast's $1.26 Billion (worldwide) and $504 million (domestic) is currently #1.

                            Is that part of the Fathom Events/TCM program? They are doing Princess Bride here in October and Casablanca in November. Those programs are top notch.

                              That sounds familiar to the Animal House thing I went to. Unfortunately, only about 10 people were in the theater, and it was on a Sunday. I still loved it, though. Would like to see more of these offerings.

                                The TCM stuff is usually Wednesday and Sunday. I saw The Godfather in July. If you want more, talk to the manager of your local theater.
