Marathon: Iron Man+Thor+C.A.+Hulk before Avengers Premiere!

[Pillar]

I have all of these on BluRay.

I have a 50" Panasonic Viera in the living room.

I will watch these at home. One a night before going to see The Avengers that Friday morning at a matinee and fewer crowds.

WIN.

I will be doing something similar!

We could possibly rent the space we used for the Friday night Recess party or http://www.twoboots.com/pioneer/rental.html

I have a great home entertainment theater but having people around me is half the movie experience for me. I love the ohh, ahhs, laughter, shock, and collective outpouring of emotion. I can do without the cell phone use.

It used to be for me too. But the NYC movie going experience has changed primarily because I think the movie going audience has changed. Sometimes I feel like i'm watching a movie in a sterile enviornment like a movie is some sortr of experiment as opposed to an emotional experience. It's the too cool for school syndrome. The last really great movie theater experience I can remember seeing with a crowd was the opening weekend of GRINDHOUSE. I saw it twice that weekend once on 34th street and 8th ave and again at the HATED Midway theater. Both times the crowd really got into the movie.

I used to love going to the movies but price and really rude ass people coupled with the fact that audiences treat it like a fucking science experiment has dulled my enjoyment of going.

This year I plan to fly to Austin Texas at some point to take in a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse. I dont drink but I will order dinner and see if the movie go-ers there are more into the experience and thus better than the present day NY audience. I have the feeling that it will be so.

I would love to go to Austin Texas at some point. I hear great things about the Alamo Drafthouse (I also don't drink but I heard good things about the food).

If you are in Austin, check out the Big Top Candy Shop. It's owned by our friend Brandon Hodge (who has worked on Pathfinder material) and boasts 2.5 million different flavor combinations including Big Top's house-made Elvis Killer Chocolate Bark (milk chocolate, banana chips, bacon, peanut butter and jelly) and soda jerk Westen Borghesi's Wasabi Vanilla milkshake: http://www.facebook.com/bigtopcandyshop?sk=info

The last great movie theater experience I had was going to see "Wrong Turn." Terrible slasher flick, but the audience was pretty quiet and subdued with only a few gasps and such. At one point in the movie, after the grisly death of a young coed, a woman in the back shouted "THAT BITCH DUN TOOK A WRONG TURN!" The audience exploded in laughter and from then on, they were into the movie with the laughing and the shouting.

It was great and appropriate to the genre!

Since then, movies are fairly subdued affairs. I think it's because it's so damn expensive to actually see it in the theater now...we want maximum bang for our buck and that includes everyone piping down so I can hear the next line damnit!

Also, I hate cellphones and want to murder everyone that pops one open in a show. Causes me stress which is exactly opposite.

OT: This is crazy! I enjoyed all of these movies separately, but together....it might be WAAAAYYYYY too much.

So, sadly, when I went to buy the ticket they were sold out. Is everyone still interested in possibly renting out a place to watch them?
