speedz99 145 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I guess I'll argue about this some more. The point of dynamic pricing isn't about getting the most money from the people who are going to see it, it's pricing it for maximum revenue. That could mean you lower the prices to get more people in the theater. Or it might not.I guess my point is that I consider Win/Win and other small scale critically acclaimed "indie" movies like it to carry relatively inelastic pricing. Business!Also, some of those crappy comedies you mentioned earlier make a lot of money as is, so I'm not sure those would be the discounted.Maybe some of them, but others did really poorly and I could see "dumb comedy" being on the list of movies people would be more willing to see if they were discounted.

mk 11 Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 two questions:1) Is that movie super scary/horrorish... like The Ring? Or is it something more tame, but suspenseful, like The Happening?2) How many hours a day do you waste your time reading meaningless crap from random comment sections on the internet?It has a 92 on RT and with vu and mk saying it's great, along with a very well made trailer, makes me feel like I need to see it.Did you know MI:GP has a 93 on RT? Amazing.Heh, it's not like The Ring at all. It's more an existential horror which powerfully conveys the deep sense of unease and dread one can feel when raising a family in trying times.

timwakefield 68 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Pretty great rationalization in the comments section:Would some of you please get off your high horse? Download it for free if you can. If i gave my money to EVERY movie I ever wanted to see, I'd be broke. Watching movies is a right, not a privilege!! I'm pretty sure it's in the 6th or 7th Amendment.

mk 11 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Watched Margin Call over the weekend. I didn't have great expectations, but it exceeded them comfortably. It could've been SO heavy-handed and over-the-top. No caricature "F THE LITTLE GUY" villains, just a bunch of sober, intelligent people trying to save their company by getting in front of the shitstorm. It gets the vibe of that period right without being too specific or non-fictional. Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,752 Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Improbably (and I'm dead serious about that improbably) Jimmy Fallon's constant positivity and young/hip feel is starting to win me over to the point where I think his show is quite a bit more fun than Conan. I feel like I just cheated on my wife saying that, since I've been such a loyal Conan supporter for the last 20 years, but Jimmy is really kindof great. His shows in Indy last week were very awesome.

LongLiveYorke 38 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 First five minutes of Soderbergh's HaywireIt's pretty good, I saw it last weekend. The whole movie is that girl running around, beating and killing people (she's actually a real-life MMA fighter). Also, the music's pretty sweet. Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,752 Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 Piranha 3DD"What's the extra D stand for?" you ask.Yeah.If you want to invest some time into something truly interesting that has a LOT to do with this movie... watch Project Greenlight 3. It was a reality show in 2005 where Matt Damon and Ben Affleck picked a screenplay and a director separately to film a movie for Miramax. It's HIGHLY entertaining, especially considering that the director off the street that won, is starting to get big time movies. (He is the director of Piranha 3DD)Also, as an added bonus, the screen writers that won are the screen writers for this movie as well.Watch the whole third season here ------>>>>> http://www.tubeplus.me/player/1248613/Proj...Office_or_Bust/ Link to post Share on other sites

brvheart 1,752 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I will die a loyal Adam Sandler fan. I will never take a shot at him because he's one of the genuinely good guys in Hollywood, and he was the best friend of my hero Chris Farley. However, as soon as I saw a trailer for Jack and Jill, I was like.... really? Come on, Adam. If he would have gone "kids movie" route with it, it might have worked. But Sandler is always aiming for the college male, and there is no way that today's college male would find the premise of that movie funny or interesting.I was also surprised to find out that Denis Dugan directed it, because he directed one of my favorite comedies during my initial college years, Dirty Work. (I haven't seen dirty work in 10 years.) Link to post Share on other sites

I loved him so much, that when he died, I drove to Madison, WI to see his grave. I'm well aware that his drug use doesn't make him a great role model. Link to post Share on other sites
