    If you can stand foreign, check out stuff like:

    City of Lost Children (French)
    Night Watch (and then Day Watch & Twilight Watch) (Russian)

    Tenent I still need to see. I enjoyed Bill and Ted 3 (though I thought it not as good as people made it out to be, but I'm glad it's doing well).

    I think I mostly miss the popcorn and sticky floors.

    Might go see both of those this coming weekend. I went to see New
    Mutants this past Saturday, it was okay, not great, but okay.

    Consessions are about 50% more expensive than before COVID here, and the theater as a whole was barren. May as well make them all like the AMC
    ones with the large recliner seats (not to be confused with the
    smaller/packed recliner theaters) well spaced out.

    I had high hopes for this film, I'm sorry it bombed so badly. I was really hoping Marvel would cross into the horror genre with something amazing. How much did you know of the "New Mutant" storyline before you went?

    So they finally surpassed the $10 bucket of popcorn have they?

    The Arclight in LA should be the new normal, private booths with table service food/drinks.

    Yeah... It's pricey to say the least. The AMC Cinema Suites are
    similar, not so private, but they could space the seats out more, nice recliner seats and full table service (though now order station with
    delivery to seat).

    Not sure if the theaters will ever really recover on this one.
