How do you watch a movie in theaters 26 times? Even back in 1999, that’s a lot of money.

@epbrown01 6 жыл бұрын

He said it was mostly dollar theaters. I WENT to see it 3 times, I only saw it once. The first time, a couple with a crying baby refused to take the baby outside. The parents got into a screaming match about who had to miss some of the movie, the audience was saying "BOTH of you go!" Theater staff got involved, they stopped the film and called police. The second time, the film paused and burned through the print badly and the theater cut everything from when they entered the Oracle's apartment until Neo goes to save Morpheus, so a LOT. The 3rd time things worked out.

security was also very poor until a bunch of years after and you could sneak in relatively easily.

@Axterix13 6 жыл бұрын

Really? No second run theater? For me, to see a new movie can cost $10+, but the second run is like $3 on weekdays, a quarter more on weekends. Of course, by the time it comes out there, it is almost out on home video. Still, cheaper than renting the movie, with a bigger screen. And that's now. Back when the Matrix came out, it was, of course, much cheaper.

I was a young kid in 1999, and after the Matrix came out, the coolest thing a 10 year old could do in gym class was dodge a ball playing dodgeball by doing the Neo bullet dodge move or at least a decent imitation of the move. Also my dad told me the blair witch project was real footage when we rented it, so it freaked me out so much.

Interestingly enough that was exactly what I was thinking when I watched Black Panther. The fight on the green field between Wakanda's guards and the bad guys reminded me so much of TPM's showdown. Even conceptually/structurally it is pretty mucht the same (battle on the ground/air and and one on one hand combat inside) But to be honest, I enjoyed TPM more than Black Panther. At least I did not have the cringe worthy "attack of the Rhinos moment".

The Blair Witch Project was one of those divisive movies that people either loved for its minimalist cheap-but-creative filmmaking, others hated it because they didn't see what was so great about three people running around the woods with cameras screaming at each other and finding stick figures, and the rest just got REALLY motion-sick.
