Guess the date Revolutions is coming to DVD [Archive]

They say the early release of the DVD had something to do with disappointing second week box office numbers. The Matrix Revolutions just kind of flashed in the pan and quickly fizzled away. I guess the word of mouth hasn't been too good to that movie.

Me, I'm staying with just the first movie thank you very much.

This is sad for warner bros... but good for me :)

I have reloaded and the first matrix, and Animatrix.... out of the three reloaded is the only one I manage to pop in at least once per week while the others are collecting dust.

And what better time to buy the movie than after Christmas when I have no money at all.

Have you considered educating yourself in the art of bank robbery?

My friends and family overall had a better reaction to Texas Chainsaw Masacre than Matrix revolutions, and TCM is the worst movie I have spent $8.50 to see in my whole entire life. I can't believe that retards (including some of my friends and family) are spreading the word that Matrix Revolutions is a bad movie when it is the best movie released this year next to Reloaded and LotR.

$8.50 for a movie? Jesus. Our theaters over here charge $6.00-$7.00 for an adult ticket, and $4.00 for a matinee.

I wouldn't pay $8.50 to see the Matrix or TCM.

Oh is that so? Well let me as you this sir, would you pay $17.00 to see it twice?

:stupid:
A movie in cinema costs between €7 and €8 here, in the weekend. During the week it's about €6, or €5 with discount for students. :)

I liked Revolutions, but I didn't feel the need to see it again... :unsure:

I suppose I'll take time out here to inform midwesterners that the Marcus Theaters are the best deal in movies. Go before 5:15, catch the early show for $5.25 buy a 32oz pop for $4.00, after that show (since the marcus theaters are so huge, there's 0 security coverage) refill your pop (refills are free) and go to another show. 2 moves, 64 ounces of pop, $9.25.

Though I suppose it is illegal, everyone does it, and everyone KNOWS that everyone does it, it's kind of a traditonal thing, so long as you don't sneek into a sold out show, they never kick you out. It's to the point where it's almost as if the theaters are marketed towards people seeing 2 for the price of one.

Oh yeah, almost forgot: Free refills on popcorn too.

You're prices are outrageous.

The most I've payed for a theatre ticket was at collossal in Langley when I went to see the fellowship.

Here at the not-sh*tty theatres (I especially frequent the Cineplex Odeon) it's like 12 or 13 bucks Canadian for an adult ticket. Add to that some popcorn, a pop, and maybe a little something else (a chocolate bar or whatever) and a night at the movies is usually about 25-30 bucks a person.

I think at the cheap theatres the admission is like 5 or 6 bucks, but they only play old sucky movies, and they end up gouging you a bit at the concessions anyway.

Because special effects is the only thing he listed, you jump to the conclusion that special effects is the only thing he thinks the movie has going for it?

I didn't jump to any such conclusion. I just asked him to clarify his position because I honestly didn't believe he thought special effects was the only thing the movie had going for it. That's why I asked him a question instead of just making a statement.

The fact that he hasn't answered back to the post makes me wonder, but I'm happy to just wait for him. It's not that important.

The teenagers thing is a tangential comment and a joke besides.

You just made it seem like you think he believes that special effects are the only thing that makes a movie great. In fact, he didn't even say the movie is great. Maybe he thinks the movie is mediocre but the special effects make it worth seeing at the theater. If you claim in your next post that you didn't jump to the conclusion that he said the movie is great, how is your question in any way directed at him or in any way relevant? Either you jumped to a conclusion on his statement and I jumped to a conclusion on yours, or we both posted irrelevant questions just for the sake of making jokes that bash someone. Your pick.

What about just buying a pizza at the theatre? Well, if the theatres in your crib have those pizza places inside them. Those are so cool.

Plus that way you don't end up accidentally spilling the pizza while sneaking it in underneath your shirt and getting sauce all over your pants or something. It's hard to pick up chicks when you have pizza sauce splattered all over your clothes. Well, not fat ones, but...

The Germanator

11-26-2003, 03:51 PM

Our theater doesn't have a pizza place in it. And just trying to smuggle stuff in is half the fun...It can be dangerous and exciting, I don't know, I've never really done it, but I can see why it may be fun. Well, I have snuck candy in, but that is child's play, gotta go for the big things.

Xantar

Look, Morpheus, I could sit here for the next few minutes and decipher all the convoluted logic we just got into or I can just leave it at this:

Yeah, it looked to me like he was saying the movie was great just because of the special effects, but I wanted to give him a chance to clarify. So I made that post hoping he'd explain himself.

You apparently thought I was attacking him or something, so you made a post giving me a chance to clarify myself. Now I have done that.

Since I haven't gotten any reply still, it's all a rather moot point, don't you think?

It's just my opinion...but...

Matrix was awesome.. and the reason it did so well, was by word of mouth. Unfortunately... the sequels faltered. They relied WAAAAY too much on special effects. I hate that. Granted, the first one had special effects.. but they were completely revolutionary to the american audience, and they weren't the focus of the movie. The second sequel... eh.. the only thing I remotely liked was the highway chase scene. The scene with all the Agent Smiths attacking Neo.. SUCKED. The graphics weren't that great! The third one... eh... it just went downhill. To me, it seemed like the directors were trying to focus less on storyline, and more on making "revolutionary" special effects. I like special effects, but not when the movie has to completely rely on them, and if they are much more subtle. Also, the storyline went downhill. I know there are a lot of matrix fans out there, but I think LOTR was WAY better, as well as Finding Nemo. The only way I could be DRAGGED into seeing the last matrix, was if it was on a local IMAX screen...

I remember smuggling 2 plastic bags full of popcorn into a theater. We did it just for the heck of it, but it worked! And I didn't want to buy from them. :p

And drinks. Don't forget drinks. Drinks are 5 times more expensive in the theatre than in the supermarket.
