What was weird was that you said you had one exception - no Pokemon - which made it seem like anything else would be fair game.
Why use the wrong thread if there’s a perfectly fitting one that’s right within reach?
Like I said, it qualified as a movie for me.
It’s possible you don’t know what a movie is.
Certain, even.
The point is if you don’t like a movie, nobody is forcing you to go and watch it.
If they play Rocky Horror and get complaints are they going yank that too?
Worth mentioning GWTW sports a G rating. Can’t get more inoffensive than that. 😛
At the rate things are going, a riot is going to break out at a screening of the My Little Pony Movie.
My point is just that if a lot of people don’t like a movie and aren’t going to watch it, I don’t see why it’s crazy for the theater to play a different movie instead.
I doubt they’re socks. I’ve got a lot of real Facebook “friends” who do stupid shit like that. Whether it’s a troll campaign is up for debate (usually those come from the alt-right side of thin anyway).
I don’t think it’s that big a deal honestly. Like I said, it depends on the theater. Considering they call it a summer movie series it makes me think they don’t play very many movies, so the ones they do count. I know a great theater that sometimes plays b movie schlock I’ve never heard of before, but no one complains because that’s just what they do every weekend. On the other hand I know a different theater that is typically for plays and music acts. They hold a summer movie series too, and the theme always seems to be “crowd pleasing and inoffensive.” If a movie can’t overcome that threshold, I don’t see why it’s crazy not to play it. Silly, maybe, but not crazy.
Trying to score points with their Facebook contingent, no doubt.
And yeah, I can’t deny Guinness in brown face is unfortunate, but what can you do, much better movie than GWTW.
Ultimately it depends what kind of theater it is. Hard for me to tell, not being familiar with it. But I can see why GWTW might okay for some theaters (that routinely play old movies of all different shapes and sizes), while not necessarily for others (for which playing an old movie is a rarer, community engagement type event). Personally, just thinking about the theaters near me that I know best from back home, I can easily see why it might just be a better choice to go with something different.
Was it really from people who saw the movie? Or social media savvy trolls? Because I doubt theater do comment cards in 2017. Fake accounts on twitter are a thing, I imagine facebook has them too.
Who’s to say? Though it’s not hard to imagine people sitting that one out. Why play Gone With the Wind if more people will show up to Lawrence of Arabia?

Obviously it’s silly, but let me play devil’s advocate. They played the film this month, and there was a poor response from audiences. Audiences didn’t want to see it next year, so they swapped it out - the reason why is almost secondary.
As to that reason why, ever since I first saw it when I was a kid, the film’s glorification of the antebellum South bothered me. It’s of course a classic, and it needs to be seen, but there are other ways to see it. Let me put it this way: if it played at my local theater, I’d skip it and wait till the next screening.
I think I’m too relaxed as it is, I don’t need a drug to do it further.
That’s pretty much me.
That’s as ridiculous as comparing taking down a Confederate statue and the Jefferson monument. Give me a break.
why is it ridiculous? Jefferson was a slave owner. People argue the Confederates were traitors. Guess what England thought of Washington, Jefferson, Franklin and John Adams in the 1760’s? I guarantee you they thought of them as traitors.
What country do we live in again?
I don’t know about you, but I live in America.
So why would you care what England considers traitors? And why don’t you care what we do?

great idea
I’m afraid that probably says more about you than the music.
Honestly this is a stupid discussion.
I guess some people just have a more refined taste when it comes to their “individual impression” beyond whether they can remember a piece of music they heard two years later.
You guess wrong. If something makes an impression on you, then you will remember it. If not, you will most likely forget it. That is just how human brain work.
Well, believe it or not there is a difference between remembering something and finding it memorable. You can watch a film and think “hey, this music is really good and works really well as a whole and as a part of this film” and remember that impression years later. Whether that means you can remember what the melodies are is something different.

I feel like we’ve been this before, but memorability is but a small aspect of the quality of a film’s score.
It all comes down to individual impression which then relates to memorability.
Yet somehow I remember you and you’re complete shit.

I’m going to have to call Emilia Clark’s character something else.
How about Kura then?
The TPM score is very good. I don’t remember much of the other two because so much is recycled from TPM.
This closely mirrors my opinion.
Typical Mini Frink.
An idea I’ve had for awhile:
Episode X: The Force Awakens
Episode XI: The Last Jedi
etc.
I never really liked the chorus in Duel of the Fates. It just didn’t belong for me.
This is correct.
Also people, please stop using the word “songs.”
That theory falls into the “interdimensional chess” category and thus I am incredibly skeptical.
Guy’s a dumb fuck.
I expected TFA to be higher from him, but otherwise, yeah, that seems about right.
That’s the part that tripped me up. I can’t imagine a world where it’s worse than TPM.
Like I said, probably personal reasons relating to his employment with LFL.
I think I’ve seen (through his tweets) that he’s salty about some last-minute changes Abrams made to TFA without consulting the story group (I remember him specifically talking about the opening crawl being changed at the eleventh hour). And I know he’s got a huge problem with Starkiller Base.
The other thing to note is that TFA was handled by Bad Robot, so LFL the production company wasn’t involved as closely as in the other films.
