I haven't seen the Spongebob movie yet. I wait for it to come to video.
My favorite movie (television series) is Frank Herbert's Dune (2000) and Children of Dune (2003). I like them especially since I've read all the Dune books.
Wowee! Over here, 25 bucks would just cover the popcorn and drink! If a family of four went to a movie and all got a popcorn and drink, the bill would run up to $100. We can just rent a movie, pop some popcorn at home, buy a few drinks and with the subwoofer plugged in, BAM! You got a theater in your living room for under ten dollars!
By the way, Ma is an avid People reader! I never really caught on to it. I'm a PC Gamer reader.
Here, tickets are 13.50 each for adults (not sure about your son buddy) reg admission, 8.50 for matineee. Popcorn and drink, both medium, are 8.75 without butter (that includes both). Is that comparable?
I can't stand paying more than one dollar to sit in front of a screen for two hours. We have a 50 cent movie theatre that has some older movies, and for dollar hotdog tuesdays, you can get every in for $1.50 each.
Have you ever seen the 1980's feature film version of 'Dune' with kyle McLachlan (or however his name is spelled?) It bombed big time. I didnt know they'd done recent miniseries versions.
A massive book like that with so much going on, just cant get captured in a 2 hour movie. I want my moneys worth, but that doesnt mean I want to be bored for 3 or 4 hours (shades of 'Return of the king'-that movie just went on and on...).
Frank Herbert graduated form North Salem, (Oregon) High here, btw. I have an article i'll send along with any future order i make from you guys...
I saw the Kyle Mclachlan film. I didn't think it was too bad but it sure doesn't beat the miniseries on TV. The one in 2000 was 4 hours long and same with the Children of Dune. The visuals look so neat. They aren't as good as Terminator 3 but the dunes and worms looked good. You wouldn't want to have one of those worms in your herb garden let me tell you!
I read all the Dune books and Brian Herbert's Dune series. Haven't seen anything like it. Harry Potter never appealed to me.
The Harry Potter movies have been such a disappointment. We're a chapter and a half away from finishing reading all the first 5 books out loud, and none of the films even come close to capturing the magic of Rowling's words
-i'm generally not a sci fi / fantasy fan...the real world is strange enuf for me...
Saw the Spongebob movie at the second run cheap theatre here. It was ok-some continuity gripes, but hey, it's a cartoon
Anyone notice how much nudity cartoons have these days. Went many years without seeing Bugs Bunny's butt, but nowadays cant keep pants on toons...
