Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

Just not snippets about the interesting part of the story (you have no idea what happened to the ballplayers).

For as purely formulaic movie as it was it was well enough done. But I walked away feeling they took a very interesting story and focused on the least interesting part (the personal growth of the savior white guy figure).

Just saw The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug.

UGH, what an utter waste of time. A movie created to bridge the furtherance of the plot. Truly, a bridge to nowhere.

It was a movie to further increase Peter Jackson's paycheck.

Good points, Alex, and I agree. But I still enjoyed the movie.

Disney is making a movie from "Into the Woods"

Rapunzel is in into the woods.

In "Into the Woods" Rapunzel dies.

She is chased through the woods by a wolf. But she comes to a cabin made of candy, and takes refuge. She is quickly confronted by an old hag that runs a house of ill repute and an Appple Store with seven dwarfs. She is killed by the old hag, and eaten.

But fear not! She has her revenge as a huntsman on the back of a dragon fly in and set fire to the cabin and surrounding woods, causing all of the animals to flee! I love happy endings!

Have any of you been to see a movie mixed for Dolby Atmos in a theater with Atmos (AMC seems to call it "ETX")

I noticed there are now a couple of theaters in my area that carry it and I'm wondering if it's worth the cost/travel time.
