    Scott Eastwood is basically Sam Worthington with a heaping dose of nepotism

    Gonna go to Ready Player One tonight. Have no expectations, which typically leads to a positive experience.

    Blockers is pretty funny. John Cena as an actor is growing on me. He might be the best of the movie.

    I really want to see A Quiet Place but am waiting for the crowds to die down so I don't get a crowd full of douchebags on their phone or talking during the movie.

    Went to see quiet place last night, liked it a lot. It’s been awhile since I’ve been really creeped out by a movie. Jim from the office did a good job of building tension throughout

    I've heard a quiet place is one you want to see in a crowded theater FYI

    Everything I read said you want the theater to be as quiet and with the least amount of distractions as possible. :idk:

    I will say that we had 2 dozen kids from a high school in the theater with us (it was weird, they had a teacher with them like it was a class trip on a Saturday afternoon) and I was worried they would be talking and shit, but they weren’t. The movie actually like makes you want to be quiet so you can understand what the fuck is going on

    A Quiet Place is legit and I'm not the biggest fan of that type of movie.

    Now they'll milk this franchise to death.

    Kinda disappointed over all. Definitely some funny parts, Cena is starting to grow on me as an actor, plus he's such a good guy with all his make a wish stuff, hope he succeeds.

    Just saw blockers. It was funny, but again, glad it was a Moviepass. But I am even more a Cena fan than I was going in, so that's nice.

    Thought A Quiet Place was awesome. Nonstop suspense. Krasinski with a solid directorial debut as well.

    When I was in line this weekend for A Quiet Place these two old couples who I gathered didn't know each other were talking about how it was the second and third time respectively seeing I Can Only Imagine.

    They were very impressed that the guy gave God all the credit for writing the song.

    Long odds that they had MoviePass.

    May go see Blockers one night - seems like a good MoviePass movie.

    apparently they are rolling out an update where you will have to take a picture of your movie ticket stub to cut down on fraudulent activity FYI

    I don’t care? I’ve never used movie pass for anything extra so if it prevents fraud and either keeps them afloat longer or keeps prices down then I’m good.
