movies these days are doing so terribly in theaters that they’re now resorting to bringing back older movies to try to sell tickets. SAD
>extendedare they gonna have intermissions?
Jackson's modern rem-ass-tering sucks
Fuck intermissions, I’m wearing a diaper.
>>198596660why dont they bring back GOOD old movies tho
>>198596877but you're also not leaving the basement
>>198596660if these were the only movies they played in theaters it would save cinema
>>198597375why do you hate jews?
>>198596660I'm down with that. The only reason I didn't go to the recent showings of Dawn of the Dead '78 was because the closest theater showing it was a two-hour drive away. I'm definitely making a trip for this though.
>>198596660It's 1 movie per day, so 3 days in total for this exercise, they are trying to build momentum for their new lotr movie, the war of the rohirrim, that is to be released in december this year
>>198596660>remasteredso these are the fugly ai-"enhanced" versions
>>198596843They didn't last year when my local theater did it, I doubt they'd start now.
>>198597208unironically almost every trip to the theater I made in the past couple years was fathom events putting a classic in my local theater.
>>198596660>remasteredno thank you
>>198596660bros no way in hell i'm spending 12 hours in a theater. i don't know how the fuck we did it back in the day
>>198596660I'll only go if they do extended Fellowship and theatrical TT & ROTK
>extended>remasteredEnormous nope.
blue tint status?
extended scenes includes the origin story of lost treasure being a cock ring from the BBC palace, excalibur drawn into the hand sof lepers
>>198596660I don't know why this isn't done more often, esp since they can just stream in ultra 4k pretty much any movie. Why doesn't a theater actually engage with its clientele anymore, maybe reserve a screen where you show a slate of different old movies that get cycled out every month? For people in the entertainment industry, theater managers and owners are uncreative and lazy as fuck.
>>198598487here’s your extended Fellowship, bro
> Not 60fpsI sleep.
>>198596660If they started only played classic movies, I might actually start going to the cinema again.
>>198596660Fuck LOTR. It’s time we admit they’re not that good. >way too fucking long>le ghost army removing all tension in the third film>legolas surfing and skateboarding on shit>gimli being reduced to comic relief midget>quips like a modern capeshit flick>aragorn, Frodo, Sam can’t keep their accent straight >elves at helms deepThe list goes on and on.
>>198597375>>198597871>>198598366>>198598641>>198598707lol yes, good goyim, give shekelstein your money to watch a movie you’ve already seen before. Don’t forget to tip and purchase some overpr- I mean, fairly priced snacks!
>>198597375This. I haven't seen a new movie in theaters in over a decade. But I go to the theater anytime they play good films from the past.
BASED. Buying tickets right now
>>198597442nta but 4chan posts have a 3000 character limit.
>>1985987487/10 goyslop trilogy
>>198598530blue tint was there in the originals i expect blue tint status will be tintmaxxed
>>198598824I watch good movies. I don't watch shit. If they put good movies in the cinema, I will watch them. If they put shit in the cinema, I won't.
I'll share the load with anyone who buys me tickets
>>198598852>>198598748wrong and wrong. don't you have a fallout thread to make somewhere
>>198596660fyi these are the blu-ray 4k from 2020. they're just gonna play an mp4 file. only like 1% of re-releases actually show the old film.
>>198596660excited to see the alternate endings
>>198598960I saw the entire trilogy on 35mm a couple years ago, they were gorgeous
>>198598824I have a large trenchcoat and sneak my snacks, along with booze, into the theater.
And they brought back Shrek 2. It makes money. If it is extended with some of the 40+ hours of unused footage, then good.
>>198598847>3000 character2000.
>>198598824What? I would like to see a lot of movies on the big screen I wasn't able to when they were initially released. My idea would actually revitalize a dying industry and re-engage a dissatisfied customer base.
I hope they toned down the color and made it grayer
>>198596660Honestly it's shit for Hollywood and great for theaters and audiences. Good films from prior decades get monetary and cultural relevancy, people get a reason to have a night out again, and Hollywood gets continually reminded that nobody likes their new horseshit
>>198596660Independent theaters have done that for decades.
>>198596843I went to screenings of TTT and ROTK this year and they had intermissions.
>>198596660They already played the trilogy at my drafthouse.
>>198599010super jelly
>>198598652I legitimately forgot this show existed
>>198596660LOTR evokes fascist and European Supremacist imagery, no wonder people love watching it compared to the soulless slop that gets put out nowadays.
>>198599564>evokes fascistAnon, step one in not being an NPC is to avoid adopting their language and thought patterns
>>198599596What would you call it then, traditionalist militarism?Or would you just settle for 'based'?
>>198599208They should’ve done 1977 instead of ‘79.
>>198599145They actually lushed up the colours and made it blindingly bright in the bluray edits.
>>198599739Agreed, but they're really autistic about everything being the '5th/'0th for some reason. I wish they would've actually fucking played Ace Ventura when it was '94 month, but you know.
>>198596843Why would they? Need a break to look at your phone zoomie?
>>198599692I would call it "fighting against tyranny and evil for a peaceable society, in a world that just happens to be predominantly white because it's germanic folklore"
>>198596660looks like kino is back on the menu boys
>>198599208>UHFfucking based
>>198600198Harry Potter does the same without resorting to fascist imagery.It was a conscious design choice by Jackson, and it paid off.
>>198596660Believe it or not before home movies were a thing theaters rerunning movies from years prior was common. Especially when new ones weren't bringing people in
>>198596660It's mainly because of the strikes last year. All of the schedules got fucked up.These days, my local theater is running new releases longer than they deserve, showing older films throughout the week, and showing foreign films in Hindi (we have a large local pajeet population) because so little is coming out of Hollywood .
Do they mean extended as in these are the extended cuts airing, or extended as in they have even more footage?
>>198600437Waiting with amused anticipation to hear what you think the fascist imagery is
>>198599919Moving back from 25 years ago (1999), 30 years ago, 35 years ago, 40 years ago, 45 years ago, 50 years ago>it's been 50 years since Texas Chain Saw Massacresweet jesus where does the time go
>>198596660I didn't like Fellowship Of The Ring, they walked too much. Yes i am not white, i am very latino, i actually look like the chloe moretz meme face guy, that's how latino i am. Im my defence they are genuinely dull films that take way too long to get to the point. The second one is better but no masterpiece, haven't seen the third. I think the towns are too small, it really doesn't feel like they are going to this huge places with some exceptions, it just feels like they are walking on mountains but even then, i been to national parks that looked more interesting (shout out to the rocky mountains, now that's a mountain). Like the big war scene in two occurs in what looks like a mid size building at best, its not as exciting when i seen bigger structures at my local college. The eagles are also a plot hole, even if you dont want it to be. They could have used them to get closer, didn't have to be all the way. Im sorry but the movies are very flawed. What movies do i like then you ask? I like Millers Crossing. I think its a great film.
>>198600410Bought a ticket as soon as it was available. I notice a lot of these reshowings tend to sellout more than new releases. The only exception to that was love lies bleeding.
>>198596660is britty gud ider
>>198600090It's called pissing
>>198599596>Supposedly conservative politicians constantly falling into liberal newspeakIt hurts
>>198600669>latino>dislikes walkingYeah that tracks
>>198600782It's not entirely their fault, they just need to be deprogrammed.
Its the over sharpened vibrant version
>>198600669>liked Two Towers more than Fellowshipvery rare
>>198596660Why don't they do this more often? How come re-running old movies isn't really a thing outside of a couple specialty events?
>>198596660This trilogy has turned into le reddit reference movie, i cannot watch it seriously anymore
>>198596660>remastered nigger I know what that means
>>198596660Plus tickets per movie are $15-$20. To watch all three would cost around $60. For films that are over 20 years old. Now that is crazy.
>>198600597I'm more shocked about 1994 being 30 years ago. Movies like dumb & dumber and clerks still feel so young, but they're old enough to get back problems. Fucked.
>>198601108$20 in 2024 is basically what $5 was in 2024, so its not really that bad.
>>198600978They are doing it a ton now. I'm seeing Alien this weekend.
>>198600552I wish it was the latter, as I know there's footage that still hasn't been mastered of the original trilogy shooting to this day, but it's most likely the former.
>>198601009>this anon would call taking the hobbits to isengard reddit if it came out today
>>198601160Nta. 2005 was my prime time movie year as a teenager. Weekend matinee cost $6.One 2005 dollar is $1.60 in 2024. Weekend matinee should therefore be $9. But it's actually $13 to $20 depending on the theater.
>>198601267You are calculating by official inflation stats, which are bullshit. That's why your numbers don't work out.
>>198601288Official inflation stats work great for things that aren't food, gasoline, college education, or medical expenses.You're getting taken for a ride at the theater compared to 20 years ago even adjusted for inflation, accept it.
>>198598748All valid complaints but they're still better than current slop.
>>198601009Fellowship was in production in early 1999 what the fuck are you talking about?
>>198601350>hating fun>"valid complaints"The zoomer brain literally is melted by having an iPad at 3 that it thinks Legolas surfing on a helmet and you enjoying it is le bad because art has to be Snyder grimdark for 3 hours straight.
>>198601438*shield
>>198601416When he hears to crispy bacon line he falls out of his chair seething, writhing on the floor in pure agony.
>>198598748all two towers/rotk garbage. fellowship was perfect
LOTR trilogy sucks
>>198598201>new lotr movieDo we know anything about this except what's on wiki?
>>198601526It's an animated movie about the Rohhirim and it's got some heavy hitting animators on it and it's probably going to be kino.
>>198598641Some large cities have independent theaters that play classic movies. Use to live in Boston and got to see Blade Runner, LoArabia, The Exorcist, etc. in a theater. p cool.
>>198596660Honestly, older movies is a good idea. But not slop. Turn theaters into what blockbuster used to be. Imagine going to a theater and watching Speed and some Michael Douglas thriller. Could be a great time.Plus, no merchandise looking you in the face.
>>198600090might have to poo
>>198601582>zoomers literally don't know that local theaters do this literally every week/weekend all over the country Christ man go outside.
>>198600749>he didn't order the urinal attachment for his chair
>>198598641>I don't know why this isn't done more often, esp since they can just stream in ultra 4k pretty much any movieBecause the target audience for older film re-runs is cinemaphiles, and cinemaphiles want to watch 35+mm reels. Streaming to a theater should rile up even modern autists because of the horrible effect streaming has on bitrate. Case in point, the 4k you stream at home is compressed to shit so it can make it across the wire.
>>198601623>his kinoplex doesn't have a complementary piss gutter
You can tell how often people actually went to the cinema because they think cinemas showing old movies is a new thing.
How do we save cinema
>>198601949Give the people what they want to see
>>198600669kys taco nigger
>>198596843It doesn't matter man, taking a piss in the theater only sucks when it's a movie you haven't seen. I tactically did not drink anything until the last hour of dunccacino 2
>>198601970they will be given what they deserve to seeabsolutely nothinga black screen for 3hrs
>>198596843it probably would be a good idea. 15-20 minutes where people might go buy some high margin snacks
>>198601949stop woke casting and writing, stop woke everything, stop trying to make everything "the biggest blockbuster of the year", make smaller projects with 1 writer and 1 director and 1 producer, stop using cgi altogether
Dunno man, I watched all the movies back then and found them to be a tad boring to be honest. The fantasy elements felt a bit too dry, how old was Tolkien when he wrote it? Maybe his testosterone was already low.
>>198602356That's actually one if the things that surprised me the most, for a bunch of fantasy films that are based on THE fantasy book, they are relatively low on fantasy. They almost feel like a deconstruction of fantasy, which is qeird because it pretty much created the fantasy genre.
>>198602356translates to >I'm under 25 and innudated with so many copycats that I think the original work from Tolkien is "boring" but can't discern anything of value due to my soda brain and low media literacy in general
>>198596660Studios brought Citizen Kane back to the theaters you fucking retard.
>>198596660That's my dream, just rent a theater and show old movies. Have events and rent space to vendors and sell popcorn and hot dogs
>>198596843When I saw an extended trilogy screening at a theater a few years ago, and it was split over the course of two days. On the first day there was a lunch “intermission” between the first and second films. On the second day they just showed RotK. They never had any intermissions in the middle of the film the way 2001 has.
>>198602400So many buzzwords to say so little.
>>198602485>everything I don't like is a buzzword This again? Is it because I said the trigger words "media literacy"? Because I'm right, if you are genuinely complaining that the original article is le boring, it's because you are underage and you think the imitations are the art they are based on.
>>198598883You mean swallow the load for free tickets
>>198601949Too late man, the business is fucked, execs won't greenlight anything but existing IPs
>>198602451Your local theater likely does rent out screens for private screenings or playing video games or whatever the fuck, it's your money
>>198602479Did they give you little sippy juice boxes and a nap zone too?
>>198602624No but I won a toy ring for my gollum impression! :)My wife was a trooper for sitting through all of it too
>>198602554Won't you call me a tranny too? You sorta forgot about it.
>>198598652did this retard actually catch an arrow and reuse it?holy shit rings of power is terrible. fucking literal 12 year old gay fanfiction.
>>198598824kek. This guy can't get out of his house without the Fire Department knocking down a wall. Sucks to be you, Shamu!
>>198602965It's hardly much worse than any of the crap legolas does in the LOTR trilogy or the Hobbit trilogy.
>>198599919>Ace VenturaThey seethe at the trans joke so they ignore this film.
>>198596660Lotr is cuck shit
>>198603385LOTR have always been cuck shit for people who hate progress
>>198600669the department of immigration wishes to know your location
>>198601510So does your father. He loves to share the load.
>>198596660The best thing about covid was theatres playing old movies, it was fucking great.Most modern movies suck, I would pay more to watch old classics in the kinoplex
>>198601949You don't. You've seen (I assume) the criteria to be elligible for an Oscar in terms of diversity hiring BEHIND the scenes, right? Hollywood pushes that for even the non-Oscar crap. non-Whites & nepotism, they have literally chased away actual talent, and they are NOT going to give up their next job to someone else.
>>198603410Hell yeah brother
>>198603507Wrong board.
>>198596660I went to one of these last summer for fellowship and it was the whitest crowd of people i've seen in at least 10 years.
Whats to remaster? Except removing the new annoying colour filters hopefully.What could be fixed>cave troll is outdated CGI>add and remaster deleted scenes>add Tom Bombadil back in (was played by Mads Mikkelsen for some reason but they deleted the scenes)>remaster the sound, make some techno remixes and brapcore>close up shots of Arwen and Galadriels feet>Aragorn fighting Sauron and beheading him at the Black Gate and then facing Morgoth at the precipice of Mount Doom (these scenes were changed into Aragorn fighting a troll and then fighting Saruman in a mech)>there was a deleted subplot about the Second Ring, an artificial ring made by Denethor as a magitech project, most of these scenes were replaced with Pippin singing Uptown Girl
>>198602127smart move. however you still have to go to the concession and that takes time. or if you bring in a drink it'll be room temp, or go ahead of time the ice will melt.
>>198603829Or you could just not stuff your face with anything at all like some sort of lardass and sit in your seat for 2 and a half hours like a big boy?
>>198596843>are they gonna have intermissions?plebjust diapermaxx
>>198598436you didn't. because the 12 hour version wasn't in theaters.
>>198596660Man they only do these re-screens for the US. No chance I can see this in my SEAfaggot shithole.
>>198603768Worst post I've seen today, even with Indians existing
>>198600090>t. dehydrated Boomer who still thinks 64 ounces a day is too much water
>>198601934it's not new but it's not common. There are some theaters that specialize in it, but I can't remember mainstream theaters doing it since the OT Star Wars was re-released. Except maybe special events like when the first Avatar had a new run right before the sequel came out.
>>198601949
>>198598824you sound impoverished chud
>>198603670>NOOOOOOOOO>YOU CAN'T DISCUSS CINEMA HERE!!!!>NOT EVEN THE ACADEMY'S VERY OWN CRITERIA LIST!!!!Wow, you're fragile.
>>198604635Post how fat your hands are
>>198596660from time to time I have nightmares thinking about the "if..." the trilogy was made... today
>>198599919Just noticed they aren’t playing Phantom of the Paradise (1974) in October. What a missed opportunity.
>>198604650>DON'T POINT OUT WHAT A RETARDED FOOL I AM!>Y.Y..YOU MUST BE A FAT!!!!Cope & seethe
>>198604797post hands.
>>198596660They've always done this, though it seems like they're doing it a lot more lately. I went to this and it was a great experience. I thought I'd be sick of it after 10 hours but the time just flew by.
>>198598530It wasn't there, at least when I saw it. Blue tint was only in blue-ray version of Fellowship extended.
>>198598824i wear a top hat and hide hot dogs and strawberry fanta under it.the local roberts at the kinoplex call me top hat guy and give me free expired popcorn
>>198601949Hire directors who actually want to make their movie and respect their vision.
>>198596660This is good though, I love getting to see classic kino on the big screenDo you need more 85% empty screenings of slop taking up those screens instead?
>>198602965It's not that hard to catch an arrow anon
>>198596660here you go put these all back in the theatres(I have more in my drives but can't fit them in the ss)
>>198603385Lol who wouldn't be anti-Slavoid
>>198596660>Re-show older (see: any previous) filmsSince I do not own my own theater or IMAX, that sounds perfectly acceptable to me.
