No lists of movies from elsewhere, please-just your personal must-sees. Mine is _Stop! That! Train!_ A film that harkens back to the days of _Airplane!_ Yours? ---

Possibly The Mandalorian and Grogu, though I’m waiting for reviews. Also Godzilla Minus Zero. ---

The movie Young George Washington peaked my interest. If done right it could be a very good film, but I really haven’t looked into it. ---

I am under orders to watch a movie from last year, which is showing in a local art house theater this week, called Silent Friend. It’s apparently a sort of elegy/meditation on a very old gingko tree, and how it affects people. I’m actually looking forward to it. I do really like gingko trees, and it’s rated 7.5 on IMDb. ---

_The Odyssey_ for sure. It’s been described as a “fantasy action film”, and ironically I don’t generally like fantasy films, nor usually the type described as “action” films. But I have high regard for Christopher Nolan, and I’m confident that this is going to be entertaining. ---

I don’t go to Cinemas anymore, so I will be waiting for these movies to stream: The Mandalorian and Grogu The Sheep Detectives Disclosure Day Toy Story 5 Enola Holmes 3 Spider-Man: Brand New Day Coyote vs Acme Wildwood Apparently there’s a new Jumanji and another Avengers movie, but those just slip out of the six month range. ---

> [@Si\_Amigo](#): > > The movie Young George Washington peaked my interest. If done right it could be a very good film, but I really haven’t looked into it. Given the \*director’s past work (and he’s also listed as a writer), I wouldn’t hold my breath. Unless you are a fan of the “christian” film industry. I think we’re in for less hard-hitting realism and more faith-based moralizing about how George Washington was really s devout Christian and recognized from an early age that what he wanted most in this world (short of heaven, of course) is a Christian Nation in which men could be free to worship Jesus. You know: Liberty. > [@wolfpup](#): > > _The Odyssey_ for sure. It’s been described as a “fantasy action film” As any adaptation of Greek mythology is liable to be. It (_The Odyssey_) may well be the only move I see in theaters the rest of the year (I finally broke down and saw _Project Hail Mary_ two weeks ago). So, to the OP, it’s _The Odyssey_ for me. [and no others] \*ETA: And oh my god, it’s produced by Angel Studios. ---

I worked in the giant-screen (e.g. IMAX) business for 37 years, so I’ve seen every one of Chris Nolan’s films (since _The Dark Knight_) in an IMAX 15-perf, 70mm film theater, and was looking forward to seeing _The Odyssey_ on IMAX film, as well. But I recently learned that the IMAX film theater closest to me, in Providence, RI, has closed. The next closest is in NYC. (I’m on the North Shore of Boston.) What’s more, even if I wanted to go to New York, all screenings of _The Odyssey_ on IMAX film in NYC (and most other film theaters showing it around the country) have been sold out since shortly after they went on sale weeks ago. I’ll probably go to a standard 70mm (5-perf) screening in Boston. Not quite the same experience, but this is one that needs to be seen in a theater. Like @ASL_v2.0, it may be the only film we see in a theater this year. ---

Yes, now I’m pretty sure it will be a disappointment 😞. Its a shame because there really isn’t a good movie based upon his younger life and he was quite a larger than life character. A shame we have put him on such a pedestal that we can’t appreciate the man he actually was. ---

> [@commasense](#): > > But I recently learned that the IMAX film theater closest to me, in Providence, RI, has closed. I never watch films in IMAX because the theater nearest me has installed railings that obstruct the bottom portion of the screen. I’d need a booster seat to see over them (and I’m not that short). ---

But I recently learned that the IMAX film theater closest to me, in Providence, RI, has closed. The next closest is in NYC. (I’m on the North Shore of Boston.) Chris Nolan feels that everyone should see his films in IMAX 15-perf 70mm film, but this is unrealistic for many because there are so few IMAX film theaters, in large part because the film handling process is so onerous. But if I were to venture out to a theater for this, I’d consider digital IMAX to be a good compromise – not the same as IMAX film but superior to conventional 70mm film. I saw _Interstellar_ and _Dunkirk_ in digital IMAX and was quite impressed. ---

_Pressure_ about planning D Day from a meteorological perspective. Brendan Fraser and Andrew Scott star. _Gone With the Wind_ will be on the big screen in October. I’ve seen the movie 12 times in the theater. I don’t know if number 13 will be unlucky.
