Films (Almost Entirely Surround)

[Perp]

I went on a movie watching binge yesterday. For the second time, I watched Black Panther, Thor: Ragnorok (liked it better the second time) and Avengers: Infinity War, all in glorious Dolby Atmos. Infinity War is now my favorite Marvel movie. Both the directors did a fantastic job keeping the story balanced. I’m just hoping they don’t muck up part 2.

...Thor: Ragnorok (liked it better the second time)...

Two words describe Thor Ragnorok for me:
Awesome villians.

love the slow thumping deep bass 5.1 DTS-HD MA soundtrack from Shout Factory

I like movies that aren't afraid to be slow

Edit, and since I'm high af, I just noticed the (Shout Factory Collectors Edition) cover illustration was done by The Dude Designs (in the lower left hand side corner of the cover). nice!

also Rody's name in the movie is credited as "Nada", another nice JC touch.

Keep an eye out for JC's Christine (1983) 4K coming soon to a Home Theater near you.

when the Magazine Rack (remember those? lol) hands "Nada" change:

This, movie had the makings of a great sci-fi, it however was ruined by the argument and subsequent fight between the two main characters how strange it so resembles our lives now.

Still a classic

That was a perfect part for him to play. He did a great job.

well , it really ain't no "SURROUND MOVIE", but man, I just got home from "2001: a space odyssey" in IMAX!!!!!!
Found out at about 8 PM of a showing at 10:30!!!!
I am a HAPPY KITTY just seeing the circular space station rotating in space on the BIG SCREEN!!!
This is one of my first memories ever... Mom took us to see this in 68 at the Metro theater..(yes , THAT METRO)
Soundtrack music track has seen better days...but the dialog was crisp...

Definitely a trip...

I'm jealous! IMAX is an hour and a half away for me. Did they do the opening 20 minutes of music? When I saw it in '68 the screen had curtains that were closed during the lengthy prologue music, then slowly opened for ALSO SPRACH ZARATHUSTRA and the stunning opening image of the alignment.

Last nite on VH1 they did Raiders of the ark, I can't ever remember seeing it with 5.1, and I was surprised at the use of the surrounds, very nice Mix!

oh heck YEAH!!! Actually, the prologue is not that long...they also did the 20 minute Intermission...

I watched Wes Anderson's latest Isle of Dogs last night on BD and while there were only a few moments of discreet surroundness, the drums in the score sounded incredible. Real couch-rumblers.

I'm driving from Sacramento to Bakersfield to see it this evening. It's playing locally, but every time I tried to find something closer all that came up was Bakersfield and Seattle. Of course, once I bought my Bakersfield ticket and reserved a motel room, the more convenient showings magically revealed themselves.

Oh well, it's not the farthest I've traveled just to see that movie. You might say I'm a bit of a fan.

Caught a local 70mm showing a while back. If it hadn't been disappointing I wouldn't have "needed" to make this trip.

Was going to reply, "Obviously, a tool" but then I had this image of a flying white thing bashing my hard drive, er, head, and thought the better of it . Question now, is how long I'll be shut down even for the thought . . . DAISEY . . . Daisey . . . Daaaaaa . . . zeeeeeee.

No...but my main domain name is a Pink Floyd reference. So one of my computers is "Floyd" and, bringing my two obsessions together, the other one is "Heywood".
