Nope.
The only movie I watched in a Theater was “They Shall Not Grow Old”.
I’d like to see that one.
I didn’t see any of the Oscar nominated movies, either. And, I have about 2000 movie DVDs. Movies today seem to be remakes, sc - fi, marvel trash, or scary flicks. Not for me. They don’t make good movies anymore.
Don’t worry, dfwgator. Here’s how you handle that conversation for ANY movie that makes it to the Oscars.
THE CONVERSATION ABOUT THE MOVIE DFWGATOR DIDNT SEE.
Q: Hey did you see that movie that made it to the Oscars?
dfwgator: Oh, YES! I was really moved by the themes of oppression and sacrifice.
Q: I was practically in tears!
dfwgator: Practically? I was bawling. Both tears of empathy as well as guilt, you know?
Q: Yep.
dfwgator: The privileged capitalist hegemony has a LOT of making up to do.
Q: Wow! You really get it, dfwgator!
dfwgator: Well, sometimes it’s time to fight the power, you know?
Q: Yep. Hey let’s grab an arugula salad and Macchiato sometime! I’d love to talk race-gaze close analysis, vaginal semiology and Lacanian feminist film theory with you. Laura Mulvey... Susan Sontag... Let’s really get into it!
dfwgator: Cool! Hey - did you see Missing in Action 2? It was actually as good as the first!
AND THAT’S HOW YOU DO IT. (But can you tell when dfwgator screwed up?)
I was going to post the same thing. The only movie I saw in a theater in 2018 was “They Shall Not Gore Old.”
Same here.
I DESPISE going to the movies. It’s uncomfortable, popcorn costs about $300.00, and I hate the idea of my $$$ going to some left wing revolutionary cause.
I’ll buy the DVD when it’s available. (Yeah... a little more $$$ to the left. Ugh)
But “They Shall Not Grow Old” is that good.
The last time that I entered a theater to watch a movie is when I went to see “LONE SURVIVOR”.
You are not alone.
Am I Alone In Having NOT Watched Any Oscar Movies?
90% OF WHAT COMES OUT OF HOLLYWOOD IS PURE GARBAGE.
I plan to watch “They Shall Not Grow old” and “Bohemium Rapsody.”
They Shall Not Grow Old was the only movie we watched in 2018 (unless the Darkest Hour was out in 2018). We are very picky about what we watch and what we spend money on. I have not heard of any of the movies except for Black Panther and I had heard that it was pretty good. Still not going to watch it.
It has been 4 decades since I saw an Oscar movie. I have a DVD of They Shall Not Grow Old and will watch it at home when I get my DVD slide unstuck or replaced. I have only bought two movies in those decades. The other one is Toronado.
