Oh yeah, my words weren't really directed at your comments. I guess I never know where to place random asides around here.

In general, the more popular a page/topic is, the less likely that the information on the page will be wrong.
It's very easy to introduce wrong info on dinky pages that nobody really looks at.

Reply to Turner Classic Movies (U.S.) daily schedule for the month of February 2023. by yawningvoid28
Why is Goin' in Style italicized and not bolded?
The short R.F.D. Greenwich Village is always a fun watch. And the print AMC airs is better than the one on YouTube. (Brought to you by the Cotton Producers Institute)
I'll have to check twitter when Madam Satan airs as there are always entertaining tweets during it.

Reply to Avatar: The Way of Water was boring by Movie_Advance_101
While most of the visuals were fun to watch, the constant use of "bro" in the dialogue was distracting. I guess he was showing that cultures all act the same, with teenagers having beefs with each other ("It's called a punch, b*tch"), but I feel like I've seen that dynamic a million times on film before.

Reply to Has the new Oppenheimer trailer that played during the championship games released anywhere yet? by timeenoughatlas
>I need more characters. More. Characters.
You'll get that in the film. I too am greatly looking forward to Oppenheimer but have no need to watch another trailer for it.

Reply to I'm torn between seeing two movies I'm not really interested in seeing. What are your thoughts on Plane vs. Missing? by Help_An_Irishman
Go see Missing, it's good fun. Not in a super deep way, but clever enough and doesn't outstay its welcome too much. And as odd as it may sound I think it's more fun to see something like that (close ups of laptops screens etc) on the big screen.

You didn't even bother to watch the bulk of the movie. So please don't tell us what the themes were.

Who said anything about nostalgia? Did you see Fantasia when it was released in 1940?

How many animated films have you seen in total?
How is Zootopia higher than things like Watership Down and Fantasia?

Reply to How does a movie achieve to become a Cult Classic? Example, Flash Gordon (1980) by irkybirky
slightly related:
Before Napoleon Dynamite's release, they had preview screenings, as most films do. But they encouraged people to attend multiple preview screenings. If you went to 4 (or 5?) preview screenings you could turn in your punch card and then get sent a Napoleon Dynamite Fan Club Kit.
It's a fun film and I'll admit I went to it multiple times (partially because I wanted the free kit). But there was something that felt off about it, like they were trying to turn it into a cult film before it was even released.
The film was obviously successful at the box office, I don't know if that was due to other marketing reasons and good reviews, or if the pre-release marketing strategy had anything to do with that.

Reply to Short Film Suggestions for Middle School students by Quad3300
This isn't a short film that you would ever show (it's geared for more younger kids and is an "older film", but I recommend that everyone watch it at least once as it might be one of the saddest films ever:
The Mailbox (1977)
