This is actually a pretty normal line for Jordan’s. They only have one screen and usually corral people in this waiting/concessions area until about 10 minutes before showtime.

Crazy thought: maybe go see it before passing judgement?
It was fucking awesome and I genuinely don't understand how much of a curmudgeon someone would have to be to not enjoy it. It's more of a roller coaster than a criterion collection but roller coasters are dope. I can't think of how you could spend $15 better.

These are the same people who just can't wait and will rush out and wait in line overnight for the latest iPhone, graphics card, Xbox release, sneaker, etc.
It's not going anywhere for awhile. What's the hurry? So you can chat it up with your coworkers the next day about how awesome it was?
Wait a couple of weeks and you can still enjoy it without the crowd and hassles.

You can't reserve seats ahead of time? I don't go to movies that often but going online, picking the best time and date, looking at a seating chart and choosing my seat has to be the best thing since sound was added to movies.

It was in 3D and I was hypnotized floating around with Jake Suelly. I started to question if humans could become avatars and later after I was home smoking I realized I was an avatar to some Gods and eventually I ended up in the hospital on meds with psychosis but it all started there from that flix at Jordans.

That reminds me of this old co-worker I had at a retail store and we'd get fucked up after work sometimes. This one time we were tripping and he told me there was a girl out there for him and he was going to get her, so I was like, okay. The next day he didn't come into work because apparently he saw a girl in a window that night so he broke into her house to get at her, and ended up fighting with her father and getting sent to a psych ward. Anyway I prefer the Kelly's Roast Beef at Revere Beach.

Yes, how dare they close so employees can spend holidays with their families.
Also, Massachusetts still has blue laws on the books, it may not even be legal for them to be open.
EDIT. I just checked and they are closed Christmas but not New Year's. And Blue Law closings apply to Christmas, Easter, and Thanksgiving, just FYI.

Hundreds of thousands of people saying a movie is forgettable certainly isn't a good thing.

That's sad. See different movies, there are lots of better movies out there.

Not really. If you adjust for inflation, it's not the highest grossing movie. If you don't adjust for inflation, it will be surpassed in the next few years.
> plus All of the other technological advances created to make the films. That also make it special.
Yes, it was technically impressive, that's literally the only positive. That's almost exactly the critic consensus from rotten tomatoes.
> It might be more impressive on a technical level than as a piece of storytelling...
Technically impressive, but as a film it's rather pedestrian.
> Hey my guy it’s just a movie it can’t hurt you, it’s OK. You’ll be OK. I’m sorry people enjoying things upsets you.

My dude, those are frankly normal things that happen in the winter. And while yes, of course they are more common this year than ever before, they are more common because we wore masks for two years. We either doff the masks now, get through this winter and go back to our historical norm, or we continue to wear masks and run into the same issues year after year.
I would also like to point out that you’ve conceded we are not talking about truly serious illnesses where people are getting sick and dying. Which was the reason that we essentially compelled everyone, whether via policy or stigma, to wear masks. (I fully supported those policies btw during covid)
If you don’t want to ruin your own holiday, wear a mask. Simple as that. But to try and tell everyone in society that they need to wear a mask because you and your family might get a cold or a stomach bug and not get together on Christmas day, honestly, that’s not a compelling reason.

When was the last truly great James Cameron film? Terminator 2?
Even Aliens, while a great movie, took a great sci-fi survival horror and dampened it with generic action movie flavor.
I’ll be the first to admit I haven’t seen 100% of his filmography, but based on what I have it seems like he’s kind of overrated.

Depends on the movie and the crowd. If you can promise me a crowd that will react to the movie appropriately but otherwise SHUT THE FUCK UP, then I love the movies.
I’m not even that old, but at 32 I’ve basically limited myself to middle of the day movies where there are little to no other people there. Much better experience when there isn’t chatter in the background or worse yet, teenagers just dropping all pretense of being respectful of others experience.

It does matter though. I’m not going to go see a movie I won’t like because it looks pretty.

Hey man, that’s cool. I like movies and right now the most visually stunning movie to ever exist is in movie theaters on giant screens. I didn’t feel like missing that. But if you want to then hey that’s cool man.

The visuals on the last Avatar aged like milk. Visually pretty is not a very compelling reason to see a movie if it’s the only reason you can come up with.

Living in Denver, I miss the fuck out of Jordan's IMAX. I used to go to the one in Reading and I can honestly say that was the ONLY place I would see movies. And even though most theaters now have assigned seating, I was perfectly okay with showing up an hour before to make sure I got a great seat because I really thought it was worth it.

I really hope it’s some point in your life you realize your opinion is not a fact. Because I can go on YouTube or any other thread. Or I could just literally link you to a video with 1 million views on it that says avatar aged incredibly well visually. So what makes your opinion more valid than that? And again opinion. visually pretty is enough for I and millions and millions of other people to see it apparently or else it wouldn’t have the number that it has.
DinkandDrunk t1_j1dw55e wrote
You’re acting like it’s a crime against film not to see this movie and the only reason you can provide is that it’s visually appealing. Have you considered that some people rank visuals lower on their priorities for how they spend 3 hours of their lives than you do? I understand what I say is an opinion. My opinion. In my opinion, I won’t like this movie and I don’t think CGI ages very well. So I won’t bother going to see it. You can feel free to go see it and I hope it’s been everything you expected. But you’re weirdly judgmental of people not wanting to go see the pretty blue people.

I’m not gonna lie, I don’t care about your opinion on this topic enough to read any of that. You can fool yourself into thinking I did. We’re talking about a movie I like. There’s nothing you can say that’s going to change that so at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter

I have a lot of friends who worked on it at Dreamworks. In my opinion, it’s in the top 3 movies DW has ever made- with Shrek and how to train your dragon. I went to an early screening last month and went in with fairly low expectations and was just blown away. Trust me, it’s astonishingly excellent.

I’d love to know why too. I’m struggling to think of a positive for having to queue up for a movie an hour before it starts in hopes my seat is decent

Saw it at a Regal Cinema. I really wish I saw it in IMAX but it was still a visual spectacle even on a less than ideal screen.
The movie was surprisingly a lot better than I thought it was gonna be.

My guess is they want to sell as many tickets as possible? It's not uncommon for me to want to see a movie at a certain time, go online to pick my seats, find that only the front row is available, and then close the screen without buying anything
If you make people buy tickets and line up, they don't know where they will sit, but since they've purchased the tix already, they feel obligated to go in.
I've nothing to base this on, just guessing.

Jordan’s is weird. Does this one still have the Mardi Gras theme going on?

None of the AMCs are close to the Jordan's experience, especially the Reading theater. You get a larger, brighter picture with much better audio at the furniture store

Real question why? Being honest everyone I know who saw it said it was a boring movie. Seeing the trailer plot wise felt average to me. I don't get the appeal how so many other movie trailers don't get this level of attention but turn out better. I'd argue top gun 2 was a great movie but the cinema here didn't have queues like that even with word of mouth being really good
