Isn't there a Michael Bay topic already? No? 

I've read about privacy issues and data abuse of sorts since MoviePass only works with a cellphone and app location?

“We watch how you drive from home to the movies. We watch where you go afterwards.”

Though he did apologize in a statement afterwards.

Worth noting, though I've never been worried about corporations tracking my spending or personal habits.

Stuntman AJ Bakunis died in a fall when doubling for George Kennedy (!) in the Lee Majors high rise construction saga STEEL (1979).

There's a mini-documentary about the accident:

I'm so glad you're feeling better!

How about a Happy Dance, boys?

I've been wanting to get this service for a while and have heard mixed things about it. My sister says she found
some complaints online and posted them to Facebook. I don't know how Facebook works so I haven't seen them.
When we tried to sign up it kept refusing to let us and didn't say why. But at the same time I've heard good things
from customers and weary skepticism from others. It does seem too good to be true.

Seems too good to be true, but I bought one.

This card allows you to see 1 movie per day (!) at participating theaters, for a monthly fee of $9.95. Only regular 2D screenings, no 3D or special events. I tried it last night and got my first free movie. I don't see how this business model is sustainable and I expect a rate hike eventually. But if you see two movies a month in theaters it pays for itself.

I'll report back if I discover problems with the service, but for now it seems like a bargain.

A QUIET PLACE (2018): A family struggles to survive in a post-apocalyptic world where they must always remain as quiet as possible due to the blind alien (?) predators who hunt entirely by sense of hearing. If you can get past the contrived premise, there are good moments of suspense here (how can you keep a baby from triggering the hunters?), along with an interesting creature design for monster freaks. See it in a theater and it's virtually guaranteed that some a***ole's cell-phone will go off during a tense moment. 3.5/5.

I'm 34 or so.

In my lifetime, the only film in theaters I recall being NC-17 was Showgirls.  And, that came out when I was around 11.  And, being a Saved by The Bell fan, when I finally saw the film, I was like "Oh, no, Jessie Spano, what are you doing?"

And I was like, "Jessie Spano, you've finally found your true calling!"
