Kevin Long20 said:Who said anything about turning a profit? It’s basically the only real cinema in the US, and it’s fully taxpayer-funded.

Not me.😁

honestly, you guys are just falling behind now😁😁😁

Naomi said:Now that I've finished reading it, I can't wait to see the movie.
I thought I might like it, but now I'm almost 100% sure.😬

Same here.
Now I'm also 100% sure. 😁

Zhang Ziyi 😍...has some bugs crawling all over my head right now (and everywhere else, if we're being honest... ugh 😁). I'd love to actually focus and write something meaningful, but I just can't..😁😁

Kevin Long20 said:I think the way the American Cinematheque in San Francisco handles things is great—you get an annual subscription for $33, which gives you two classic screenings a week plus some extra free shows for members...

Well, if those subscribers only number four... that’s 100 x 4 = $133... calling that a "business model" is a bit of a stretch.😁😁

😉

if only I could be this useful all the time...😁😁

northernfalcon30 said:Milkić, that "smiley" you used is actually just a bitter face with a cherry on top.
😉

not really 😁😁...in this case, it’s just me being fascinated :-)

Sandra King86 said:The whole Napa Valley area saw a massive boost after this movie came out. 😉

And why? Because it’s way easier to just buy some happiness in a bottle than actually try finding it in people. People always miss the point. But when they miss it in the form of a bottle of wine, nobody really complains...😁

wow!..
I’m speechless... so I'll just use emojis instead ----> 😍

Sandra King86 said:I'm just curious about his take. A business plan is basically just a fancy way of saying you have a dream, but you're trying to pretend it's a math equation. It’s like telling your parents you’re going to be a rock star while you're actually just staring at a guitar in your garage. 🤣
What an incredibly reckless way to handle an investment. Just brilliant. 🙂
And what happened to the competition?

A business plan? Please. That’s just a fancy way of saying you have a dream and a spreadsheet that won't actually come true. 😁😁...
Give me a break. It's not even a rip-off. Ticket prices actually match what you're getting for the money... $16 and you're in. $6.75..😁They even have a subwoofer in one of the halls—if you can even call it that. It looks like an old fridge and sounds exactly the same.😁😁You’d actually love it if you came out here. You just don't have anything like this back home.😁
...
Competition? Once they finally figure out what that word actually means, they'll be busy learning a new one: bankruptcy.😁

Sandra King86 said:😂
I honestly believe you can't have progress or prosperity without private ownership and some old-school entrepreneurship. If everything belongs to the government, then nobody actually owns anything.
Look at this guy (the OP):
Incomprehensible. Inhuman. Business suicide.

...so if you're talking about China being privatized...it’s all still owned by the same entity...why would they bother trying to outdo themselves? It's not like they have a split personality...😁😁

Sandra King86 said:Always!

😍 😍 😍...
...
Oh right... um... I'm not sure about Florida... there haven't been any theaters in my area for ages... in Los Angeles there are four... and honestly, maybe only two of them are actually worth my time...😁😁...they say something new is being built though... supposedly next year.

Two years ago 😁😁

Sandra King86 said:Sure 😁
Welcome back 😘

..if anyone actually bothers to wait for you, then sure, welcome back...😍..

As for that take... it just shows how much the film industry is moving forward while we're stuck in neutral. Movies are basically just profit margins and popcorn flicks now. The audience is getting younger, and actual film culture is just dying out along the way... New York City is probably the only place left trying to keep up.

Sandra King86 said:What do those of you living there actually think about all this?

I don't live there, yet I still have an opinion on the whole thing... is that allowed? 😁😁

It’s officially happening... heading straight to AMC. 🙂 😁...

Carol Rodriguez3 said:Give it your best shot.

...well, I'm trying 😁😁 ...fingers crossed 👍..film culture is basically hitting rock bottom anyway...but isn't Total Film not an original foreign magazine? It's more like a US license or something...how does that work again?...

I promise I’ll give this a read once I actually find a spare second...

PunkPen said:Man, I caught that on the big screen at an indie cinema back in the day. You know the vibe—comfy recliner, a cold beer in hand, just chilling. 😁

Don't give me that... 😁😁...I'll give you the comfy chair part, since I've definitely lost count of how many movies I've watched in one, but the screen isn't exactly IMAX size.😁😁...

newcomer said:Not trying to be a buzzkill, 😉 but that joke was a bit of a stretch... 😁

🤣 🤣..maybe there's actually some potential in these Canadians after all...😁😁

says:
I swear, I was laughing so hard I thought they’d kick me out of the theater—luckily there were only about seven or eight of us there. So, he goes back to grab his wallet after that whole "I have to do everything myself" routine, and this guy starts acting like a total jerk, making a huge scene. You can tell she set him up to catch him with some "younger guy," and then the camera pans toward the wallet right as it passes the TV screen. And on the TV? Just some guy with the most clueless expression you've ever seen...

Then once he gets back to the car, Jack just passes out cold. 🤣...
