Thanks for the question, Sir David Gandy!!!

Question for you guys, do you miss the days when the first time you watch a major trailer was in the theaters and not on your computer/phone?

Do We Miss Opening Crowds for films we see press screenings for???!!!

Thanks guys. Your topic question actually made me think of this question. All the trailers before M:I6 I had seen before on internet media :-( I remembered people asking the box office what movies had Burton's "Batman" trailer playing in front of it and that being a major factor in choosing what film to see.

No problem, man!! I think that's definitely a drag of the modern cinematic landscape - I think we both miss the surprise of seeing trailers for the first time up on the big screen. Most of the time these days, it feels like we've seen the majority of them :-/ That's fascinating though about Batman! I think the closest experience we've had to that was back in the day when The Dark Knight was coming out. We went to so many screenings of I Am Legend at Universal just to see the TDK IMAX preview haha. Definitely a bit nostalgic for the time when trailers weren't everywhere all the time.

It's refreshing to see that the privileges you've acquired haven't tainted the way you consume film. I understand it's a critic's job to be critical, however I have to imagine a good deal of them are up their own asses. When I started to take film as a legitimate passion, I had to relearn the way I processed what I was watching. It's so easy to get lost in all the technicalities, when in reality, there's so much more to it. "A film is, or should be, more like music than like ficiton. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. The feel of the experience is the most important thing, not the ability to verbalize or analyze it." - Stanley Kubrick. This quote reshaped my entire perception.

2021-07-15 05:31:15 That's a terrific quote, appreciate you sharing it! Gonna save that to the desktop haha. Man, we're trying! It's fascinating to be in this position, because I always feel like we're sorta half-way between critics and plain old movie-loving fans when it comes to the actual viewing and discussion of film. You see so many over time that the way you take them in, your expectations, and the things that you appreciate and look for start to change and become more nuanced, so in ways I guess it's easier than it seems to become isolated from the general moviegoing populace; but I think our main goal is always just to walk in with as open a mind as possible, see what each film wants to/is trying to give us, and come out with a decent idea of how we're feeling and how to articulate that. Because there are so many ways to engage with a movie that, at the end of the day, the way a film makes you *feel* and how it accomplishes that can trump any number of technical flaws or structural formalities, because in large part you're painting with emotion and experiences in a super-tangible way. I think that's ultimately what we're hoping not to lose is the heart & the feel of watching and engaging with movies. It's like the sweet spot is in the middle - you learn a few things about how to speak the medium and how to properly engage with it, but without losing the joy, and love, and fascination and all that. To be honest, that's my least favorite part of this work overall - walking into a movie having to spit out an articulated opinion immediately after. Sometimes you can tell pretty much right away, but the older I've gotten the clearer it becomes that time and reflection are HUGE factors when it comes to art and sometimes the magic is in... not having a fully-formed opinion just yet.. soaking in the experience and seeing how it affects you over time. Anyhow, I'm rambling now haha, but appreciate your feedback as always, man. We'll do our best to keep on keepin' on 😌
