They put effort into the latest Lanthimos and Anderson trailers, though.

I didn't say otherwise so I'm not sure how "well they did it differently for other directors films" makes sense as a response? If anything it just further contrasts how odd it is that they seem to be putting very little effort into marketing this one. All I did was try to come up with possible reasons why the marketing seems to be nonchalant about it's own product.

I wasn’t arguing with you. I was agreeing by expressing my confusion about OBAA’s marketing. I guess it did not come across in text.

I was shocked that Caught Stealing actually came to my area for a split second. So fast, I missed it. However, we miss a lot of that kind of stuff.

I swear that my local movie theater shows new movies when the theater is closed to the public.

Every time I go there, new movies are coming soon or I just missed them.

I’ve a story about that sort of thing.

Many many many moons ago, during t’dark times of my life? I wound up working at my local cinema for a period.

Job itself wasn’t bad a low paid drudge work went. For the most part.

But as a cinephile I was outraged that it ran Meet The Fockers week after week after week after week after week, to ever more diminishing returns.

A low rent, not very funny, cookie cutter “oooer title sounds a bit rude, shame that’s about the limit of the laffs” movie.

It outstayed its welcome, as most showings maybe had a handful of peeps.

Around the same time? Downfall, the often memed German language film about the last day’s in Hitler’s Bunker was released.

The cinema I worked in showed it…….once. A phenomenal, no holds barred bit of historical film making aired once. Dime a dozen crapshoot Ben Stiller skidmark of a comedy movie? Week upon week.

It’s a gak game, working in a cinema.

I worked in a movie theater for a bit... it was back when Star Trek Insurrection was out... so it's been a couple days.

My only glorious story I can tell was our company was changing from United Artists to Regal Cinema.

We got new uniforms and some new training... and then we were told we needed to share this new training with some new employees who would be replacing us.

So, we did what all passive-aggressive employees do... We trained them wrong.

They would work for a couple days, mess up the till or something else, management would look at us and we would lie (yes, we trained them on all the proceedures) and keep our jobs for another month.

After 6 months of this, the higher-ups finally caught on.

But during this whole time, I think I watched one movie... I was so sick of that theater, I wouldn't even watch free movies.

(Oh, and if you go into a Regal Cinema, do not eat the pickles.)

But I like pickles?

A new Anaconda film, but it's not quite like the others...

Ice Tower is an upcoming magical realism/dark fantasy movie that looks …fun?


The review embargo for One Battle After Another dropped, and it’s getting rave reviews. 98 RT and 97 Metacritic. Looks like a serious contender for Best Picture.
It’s a shame the trailers made it look so off-putting.

Jack Black as a movie director in search of a much larger than normal terrestrial creature in a jungle. I think I've seen this one already!
