The Future of Movie Theaters and Streaming

You are tuned in to Steve Megatron on Altered

Geek. Hello and welcome to Altered Geek. I'm

your host, Steve Megatron Phillips, and returning

from wherever he's located now is TFG1 Mike.

Hi, I'm Mike and I have a podcasting problem.

He has a pandemic. Yeah, I have a pod -demic.

He has a pod -demic. He has too many podcasts

to listen to and they just keep collecting. Kind

of. I had to play that joke. So anyways, without

further ado, we're going to jump right into the

topic today to discuss, well, the death of theaters

and the rise of streaming. Basically the good,

the bad, the ugly of both sides of the coin.

And for the initial conversation, I'm going to

reference some news articles that I found. And

we're going to go on the side. of the good, the

bad, the ugly with the cinemas and then play

devil's advocate with the streaming after. So

Christopher Nolan kind of mentioned a post coronavirus

future of we need what movies can offer us, basically

saying that it was acknowledged that regular

people. as in quotations behind the glamour of

the movie business and identify the reasons why

theater going is a collective cathartic experience.

Basically to just kind of forget life and, you

know, have fun. At least that's what it used

to be. Aside from the fact that it's, you know,

sometimes overcharged for the cost. And, you

know, there were so many movies. Prices aside.

yeah prices aside going to the movie theater

was an escape all entertainment all no matter

what entertainment you like whether it's opera

whether it's a rap concert whether it's a wrestling

match whether it's a boxing match whether it's

a fight over the last uh good glass of drinking

water in flint michigan it doesn't matter what

it is yeah All entertainment is an escape from

your life. It is entertainment. It's supposed

to entertain you, no matter what it is. And with

the movie theaters, it was a place to go other

than your home. You could go and sit in fairly

decent OK seats for the most part. Over the years,

they've upgraded. They've done the stadium seated

things and everything else, and it's cool and

it's whatever. Some theaters still haven't upgraded

sadly. Um, but you could go for two hours or

sometimes less and sometimes more and watch a

movie and be fine and happy. For me, how I approached

going to the theater, unless I was with my mom

or somebody or other people, I would go at the

most opportune time for me, which was mostly

like... One o 'clock in the afternoon eastern

time on a Monday morning when everybody's just

getting back from lunch and going back to work

So basically the theater would be empty because

nobody should be there at one o 'clock in the

afternoon on Monday morning Take any number of

the Transformers live -action films I think I

saw out of the ones I did see in theaters I think

I saw two of them the Monday after they released

and there was nobody in the theater Because I

am not a person that likes crowds at all You

know you mentioned last week about the introvert

extrovert thing Mm -hmm. I'm both I But generally

I prefer to be away from people I've been social

distancing since I was 10 years old But the movie

theater it was cool it was great you could get

something to eat if you wanted to or a drink

or a snack or whatever generally I never got

drinks because I didn't want to have to be that

moron that got up in the middle of the movie

day because he had to go to the bathroom kind

of I hate I hate that so it was great it was

cool it was something on a large screen and it

was fun going to theaters and lately hasn't been

so much fun because it costs so much Yeah, and

the thing is, too, being where I am at my point

in life, I just don't have time to go. And it's

not really on my radar. So generally, I do wait

for streaming. And do I love the experience of

going to the theater? Yes, because honestly,

there's nothing quite like it. Right because

you get the giant screen you get the surround

sound you get the The full immersion into it.

Whereas when you're at home, you know, you have

distractions you use your phone you You may be

doing something else while you're watching it

like I have two monitors like generally I'll

play a game on one I'll watch Netflix on the

other and so it's kind of a toss -up of what

I'm paying attention to But that being said Other

than when I lived in the Flint area and having

the annoying person that had like the loudest

freaking bags of food in the world Crackling

around me or that couldn't stop talking on their

phone or stop talking in general So you could

get immersed in it I Genuinely did enjoy going

Especially for something that I I'd liked like,

you know the Star Trek or you know, I saw Star

Wars in there for a while and then I didn't see

the last one but in the theater, but But yeah,

I mean there there was a lot of reasons to go

the only problem that I see now that they've

had To utterly close aside from the fact they're

gonna have to do a deep clean when they open

back up because of you know cobwebs is that we've

had hit that point where instead of billion dollar

box offices, we have a zero dollar box office.

Mm hmm. And you went from having like back in

the day, they were like, you know, OK, we would

have like a couple of huge movies every month.

And, you know, you'd have like a kind of a rotating

panel of some movies every week, you know, enough

for like every day of the week pretty much instead

of having like Anywhere from like 15 to 20 movies

come out every week. Yeah Which is what we were

getting honestly a majority of them with the

platform that we're on now with having streaming

and movie theaters about half of those should

go to streaming because there's a lot of them

that are not strong enough contenders for the

theater and there are some where you should be

fully immersed and be in the theater for them

and I it's It's gonna be really telling when

this is over when this whole pandemic is over,

because the large, this huge monumental amount

of movie theaters that are shut down across the

globe, some of the services like NBC, their Peacock

service they have, NBC Universal, which granted

NBC and Universal are both owned by Comcast,

who's also a cable company in ISP and just content

provider as well. They broke the theatrical window,

which they've been trying to do for years. Even

as Comcast, before they went in Xfinity, they've

been trying to break this for years. Trying to

have like pay -per -view movies where you get

them immediately Well now they can actually do

that because they have their own service and

they can use their Xfinity X1 It says they will

make movies available on demand immediately It

says Granted, you know something like DreamWorks

the trolls movie that came out which man, yep

It's it says that you know insiders say the movie

isn't a blanket policy for the studio's entire

2020 calendar in that decisions regarding other

titles and the duration of the policy haven't

been made yet. But I have a feeling that we're

going to start seeing kind of a trickle down

effect of certain movies immediately going this

route. And what they're doing to compensate is

this is movies will be made available on a wide

variety of on demand services. for a 48 hour

rental period at a suggested retail price of

$19 .99. In other words, the same cost would

be to buy the DVD when it comes out. And they're

saying in the US and the price equivalent in

whatever it is in the international markets,

they're basically saying that they're also trying

to provide options for consumers who cannot or

should not go to the cinemas. I kind of like

that option to see it from home. However, I think

like, and I get that they're charging that much

because it's a new release. And you're going

to be watching it from your home, like the convenience

of it. And they're estimating that you would

be buying. They estimated that you would be buying

enough tickets for everyone in your family. But

yeah, I don't I don't know like it's it doesn't

seem that bad All right, so anyways I was stating

that the the 1999 suggested retail price for

for 48 -hour rental window for the movies While

I like the concept and the idea um because they're

i have a feeling this is going to stick around

when the theaters come back whether they all

come back or not is a different story but i have

a feeling that this is going to stick because

they've been trying to get this market for quite

some time and to have this readily available

now right i think that it's going to stick and

for like for instance for me like i don't go

to the theater because I don't have time to go.

Now, granted, when I go, it's usually solo anyway.

And so that would be like a seven or eight dollar

drop right there. So 1999 is not bad if you're

having the whole family watch it. Like, I kind

of get it there, but I can't see a lot of people

like our generation or younger paying 20 bucks

a month to go see every new movie that comes

out. To be honest. Like, especially when there's

other means that China provides, you know, alter

geek in the cast radio network do not adhere

to stolen China viruses. No. Or, you know, they're

pirates. Yeah. But like, I honestly don't care.

I'll just wait till it's streaming and then watch

it legitimately. But But yeah, so like they're

talking like all these different companies are

having to kind of shift their paradigm of how

they're going to do things or, you know, like

MGM was the first studio to make a major shift

when pushing the James Bond movie, No Time to

Die from late April to November in hopes that

it will still come out in the theater. So and

then. You know, like there's some other movies

that have shifted from this year to this time

next year to try and avoid it. So it's it's going

to be kind of a interesting time with the theaters

kind of trying to predict what directions they're

going. But I do know that if people do not return

to them after they open back up, that it's going

to collapse this entire system of movie theaters.

Probably. As unfortunate as that is, people basically

become habitual on how it works. And especially

with the other aspect of why go to the trouble

and spend the money when you can go to Netflix

and watch it on your account already. So. So

you were talking about the. 48 hour rental period

for 1999. Yes, and that's through Comcast and

Xfinity and all that. Yes, or the Peacock or

NBC Universal. I'm not really entirely sure on

that. Okay. Well, if it really is 20 bucks for

a 48 hour rental period for theater movie, yes.

Okay. Yeah. All right. Well, here's the thing.

I can go on Voodoo right now. I can click on

Birds of Prey, Onward, Bloodshot, Doolittle,

Star Wars The Rise of Skywalker. Any of those

films, let's take Bloodshot for example, the

new Vin Diesel one based on the comic book series.

I can click buy on that and own it for $20. No

48 rental period needed. So NBC Universal, Comcast,

The Peacock, whatever they're doing? 48 hour

rental period my butt Forget that if I've got

the 20 bucks I want to own that damn film and

I would rather buy it through voodoo or through

whatever other app service You know iTunes whatever

I would rather purchase it and have it in my

library instead of just having to Spend 20 bucks

that I don't have to spend on a 48 hour rent.

That's ridiculous Forty hour rental period is

dumb The smart way to go is to actually be able

to buy it for the same price and actually own

it I Get that totally dude Yeah, it's crazy Like

I can sit here if I had the money if I was super

rich I Could spend a hundred bucks right now

on voodoo and I could have all nine Star Wars

films I don't know necessarily which version

the prequels and the original trilogy are in,

but it's all nine of the main films for $100.

That's not bad. Now I know some people like our

compatriot in podcasting, Mike Booth Ninja Powers,

will argue HD quality and video quality and all

of that, but for me, streaming has become And

it has been for years now just a matter of convenience.

Yeah, that's more so for me. The same issue like

I personally don't care to. I don't care about

the the 1080p or the 4K. Like especially 4K doesn't

bother me because I one Comcast is. Horrible.

about allowing it to work properly. So in that

regard, I don't really care about 4K. And honestly,

I'm not going to notice the difference enough

for it to matter. I mean, I've got an old plasma

TV from like 10 years ago that still works. And

so I'm not going to take advantage of it anyway.

It doesn't bother me. But I do like the... whole

You know at least having the the pretty good

quality like at least 720 or 1080 is perfect

enough for me like I'm not gonna Quibble over

it So like it doesn't like I get it from like

movie aficionados like perspective like booth

ninja But like for myself, I could care less.

So going back to Bloodshot on Voodoo, I can click

buy and it gives me three options. SD, HDX, I

don't know what the X stands for, but basically

HDX and UHD. All of them are $20, whatever quality

you want to own the film. Now if movie theaters

or studios wanted to do something like Here and

I know this is silly because they won't but instead

of charging $20 for a 48 -hour rental Charge

$20 for a 30 -day rent. Like that's my biggest

issue 20 bucks for two days No That that just

doesn't seem right to me at all Yeah, the only

thing is is You buy on these services though.

Mm -hmm. You're constrained to that service.

You don't actually own it So it's no different

in a sense like yes, you can watch it whenever

you want as long as they don't alter the deal

Well so far they haven't altered the deal because

with and again not trying to promote Walmart

or whatever but it's their service voodoo is

um voodoo i connected my itunes library to and

because i had already pre -purchased all of that

stuff i can go to my movies and i have everything

that i've almost everything that i've purchased

in itunes since 2006 and i can still watch it

all so That's all that really matters to me now

if you want to talk about other streaming services

like Netflix and Hulu and other things like like

You know Amazon Prime Video Disney Plus boomerang

That kind of stuff. Mm -hmm. I Enjoy almost all

of that. I have different shows on different

things But like Disney Plus I love all of their

Legacy content kind of stuff and I like some

of the new stuff too as well. I love Mandalorian

You know Netflix I watch maybe five or six or

seven shows I'm most active on Hulu because I

constantly rewatch stuff on Hulu So, I mean we

now live in a streaming world So what do you

see this heavily impacting the future of movie

theaters? It would be kind of hard not to because

who wants to go to a movie theater with let's

say you go on opening night at 7 p .m. That's

usually when everybody goes Friday night or Wednesday

night whichever opening night it is let's just

say friday for example okay you pay your money

you pay your money whatever it is whatever you

want to pay whatever you get in there and say

there are maybe 50 people there and 15 of them

cough at various points throughout the two -hour

film or whatever now that we live Even though

we're still in the middle of COVID -19. I don't

want to say we're posted yet, but. Do people

really want to sit in a movie theater for two

hours with anyone coughing? Whether they have

whether they're sick or not like the precaution

of stay at home. Don't go out unless you have

to. So that precaution that quote unquote mandate

that. the world is taken at large, I guess, makes

streaming a much more viable and interesting

option. Personally, for me, on streaming, unless

I'm active, unless it isn't something I've seen,

take the John Wick movies, all three of them.

I love them all, but... I had never seen them

before. I was behind the curve on that. So I

checked them out. So I sat here for nearly six

hours watching those three films. Okay. You know,

me, I can sit somewhere for six hours and do

something. I did a six hour podcast one time,

you know, so, but I hadn't seen it before. I

was super engrossed in it. I was whatever. If

I needed to get up to go to the bathroom. I just

hit pause on my phone or my TV or whatever, and

I got up, go to the bathroom. If I wanted to

get a snack, I could go get a snack. And the

thing would still be on pause, and I could still

pick up back from where I left off. In the movie

theater, you don't have that luxury. Like I said

a little while ago, if you go, you get your large

Coke or whatever it is, drink, and halfway through

the movie, you have to go to the bathroom. Well,

you have to go to the bathroom, and you miss

out on part of the movie. Why am I spending 12

to 13 dollars plus food and then having to go

to the bathroom and miss part of the movie that

I spent the money to see I Would rather watch

it at home at my own pace and you can pause it

exactly If you've got a pee pause it Anyways,

but yeah, like I know on a whole like I I'm kind

of in favor on both sides of the fence there.

Only because, like, again, I like the aspect

of going to the theater, but on the other hand,

I don't... I don't know, like, I don't... I don't

want to spend $20 to see it at home is more so

what it is. So I would just as soon wait to see

it when it hits normal streaming. But I do, again,

like the idea as an option because some people

maybe can't or it's too hard to go. And here's

the thing for me, like Dodd, you know, this would

be great for him because then he doesn't have

to worry about going to the theater and he can

see everything he wants. Exactly. So here's the

thing for me, besides what I already mentioned.

Whenever this virus gets gone or whatever ends

up happening to us in this world that we now

live in. Movie theaters should be specialty items

now by that I mean something like an anniversary

marker like I mentioned earlier in this episode

the 30th anniversary of Teenage Mutant Ninja

Turtles is on March 30th obviously no one's gonna

go to the theater to watch that movie right now

because of the virus at this point in time but

you see my point if a year from now the 31st

anniversary or hell, even five years from now,

the 35th anniversary of that film. That's what

I think theater should be now at this point is

something that is a special event type of thing.

Like when they did the 30th anniversary of Transformers,

the movie back in 2016. No, that's not right.

Yeah, it is 16, 20, 16, 27. Whatever. They basically

re -released the film for a limited engagement.

Well, 2016 would have been the 30th anniversary,

but I think they didn't do it until 2017 because

Karen and I saw it because we were there with

Ender. Anyway, like back in 2013, my mom and

I saw Top Gun in theaters because it was back

for a limited engagement kind of thing. I think

now more than ever. That's what theaters should

try their best to cater to and it can be any

film. Look at any old film. They all have anniversaries

at some point, so the theaters could still have

whatever new films they're going to have, but

their bread and butter should be catering to

the nostalgia because I don't want to go to the

movie theater and be amongst all those people.

Like I said earlier, I actively avoid. Pick a

time for a movie and I avoid every single other

person So why not just have me stay home and

watch it on my own TV for whatever price? Hmm

No, I mean I totally I totally get it But yeah,

I don't I don't know like I'm kind of I'm kind

of Torn like I said just trying to makes sense

of that yeah but the other the flip side is there's

a chrome extension for something called Netflix

party I don't know if you've heard of it yeah

I've seen the stories about Netflix party so

basically you create Netflix parties to watch

favorite movies together and shows and You know

you stay in sync with friends while watching

so basically instead of having to go alright

on the count of three press play You you start

a party you you copy the URL you invite everybody

and then everybody's at the same part Right exactly

which honestly is awesome and truthfully if if

having this extension Makes it easier. I would

so Watch and do commentaries on some stuff Yeah,

this extension should be for all services, not

just Netflix, but I understand why Netflix came

up with it I don't know if Netflix came up with

it, but okay. Well, it's called whatever. It's

Netflix party calm I Don't know who owns the

rights to it though. I don't it's not Netflix.

It can't be But I don't know. It's just support

us on patreon. So Oh, okay. Well, that's not

Netflix, but okay. Well, it's it's not Netflix

heaven forbid we we say something that's that's

Factually inaccurate on this podcast might get

accused of liking hulu, you know Oh the old death

threats gotta love that yeah, that's crazy anyway

talked about Netflix too much. Yeah, exactly

Yeah, I mean That would be awesome if you had

a party watch availability thing because Like

I said before once I eventually get my my computer

out here and the setup and everything else once

I'm back to full production I actually have a

plan of putting the TV that we have in storage

Above where my desk is going to go so I can actually

sit here and record commentaries without having

to have it Actively go through my computer because

that was always the biggest hurdle for me was

being able to record the show on Skype and Being

able to also semi hear the film, but I had to

watch it on one thing Now that you know, I have

my computer and I have my TV that's separate.

I can mount the TV on the wall Sit there and

watch it on the TV and still record it Through

Skype through whatever and it's like that was

one of my biggest things before My wife and I

moved out here was Eventually this year. I want

to do a hell of a lot more commentaries because

once we have this set up in the apartment It's

gonna be a heck of a lot easier for me to do

so I Don't know like I wouldn't be opposed to

doing some commentaries of some episodes or some

you know shorter based content I don't think

I could sit through like a a movie per se and

do one unless it was like a shorter movie like

if you're talking like a marvel film probably

not um but like if we were doing um like watch

through play of the new animaniacs cartoon for

instance um i would probably be down for that

like getting initial reactions and uh things

like that that that could be something fun to

do Yeah, that would be cool So I guess the question

to the listeners is Do you think we're witnessing

the slow death of? movie theaters and That this

this whole thing is just basically a easy way

for the content creation companies to say well

we're gonna just kind of abandon that old model

and See what happens and and you know you you

have to watch it on here we're not gonna release

things to the theater anymore and So I just kind

of wonder where this is going and how long they're

gonna keep it going if they don't keep it going

Continuously, but I think doing a hybrid model

instead of dumping their load on marketing like

mass marketing on Content that they're unsure

of the theater. I think releasing it to their

streaming platforms is a much more feasible Concept

and then having the ones that you're you know,

we're gonna clearly be Juggernauts in the theater

That will put butts in seats. It would be a win

-win for both sides anyway But let's yeah, I

mean because think about it there's quite a few

movies that don't put a lot of butts in seats,

you know, like when you make a sixth sequel to

Terminator and you reboot RoboCop and, you know,

stuff like that. Yeah, it. Yeah. I mean, the

whole the whole reboot thing is a continual discussion

here at the network that. Happens every rears

its ugly head every once in a while about every

six months. I bring it up It's an episode every

six months. I've noticed yeah and and the funny

thing is is the reason why it keeps happening

not that you keep bringing it up but the reason

why the reboots and the remakes and all that

keep happening is because Original ideas don't

seem to perform that well Some do know they don't

do some some very few but some there's a 5 %

95 % ratio of which do and which don't. But I

don't know. And you know, speaking as someone

who is ruled by nostalgia, most of the time,

I actually can't wait to eventually see knives

out. Looks really interesting. Plus, I like Chris

Evans. So there's that. I mean, I've like, Like

I said, I missed the boat on the John Wick movies,

but I've caught up now and I look like I don't

know if they would necessarily be your movies.

I know you like action movies, but he's a former

assassin that gets pulled back into the life

kind of thing. And it's kind of a little bit

of a violent movie series. So I'm not sure you

can hear. Yeah, a little bit, but better than

that. So, I don't know. It's just gonna depend

on when we eventually recover from everything

that's going on in the world. Yeah, it's gonna

be interesting for sure. There's gonna be a lot

of things that are gonna have to reinvent themselves

to stay relevant or stay open after this because

habits have been broken now and people are going

to have new habits form where they readjust to

a different way of life. Yep. And unfortunately,

just like the comics that we discussed in the

previous episode, the theater is going to be

another one. And honestly, comics and the theater

have been faltering for years and it doesn't

show any sign of getting better. Now, the theater

has been doing decent with as far as its blockbusters

are concerned, but in general, they're not doing

as hot as they used to do. But I think it was

also because it was affordable, people had disposable

income and there were less movies that people

wanted to see. And so when you're having to pick

and choose between movies at the theater. Just

makes it that much more difficult to because

like if there was three movies out in the same

week that I wanted to see I'm probably only gonna

see one And the other two will be relegated to

a streaming platform later or a rental service,

yep Yeah, I mean not that's a whole other discussion

not that we want to get super Philosophical,

but you know you mentioned about having disposable

income You have to have a decent paying job or

whatever and jobs right now We're relegated to

non -essential and essential and That's pretty

much everybody. I know you know when I say we

I don't mean just you know I mean everyone yes,

not not just the US but everywhere Specifically

the US though Here's the thing I've always had

an appreciation for any what others might term

a menial job like Walmart any any job at Walmart

any anything that kind of thing I've always had

utmost respect for those people because I I worked

for Walmart for an entire week back in 2001 I

couldn't do it I just could not do it I worked

for another grocery store I actually worked for

Kroger for four months and at the end of 2000

and I was able the only reason why I was able

to do that job back then was because in 2000

and Kroger Kroger still had a video store section

Back then I've never seen that They really know

I've never seen that they oh, yeah as far as

I've seen they've had like the like the red box

stuff outside, but like, I mean, I know that's

a fairly recent thing, but no, I've never seen

them with, no, where they, they were to purchase,

right? No, it was rental. Oh no, no, no. I've

never seen that. I've seen where they've sold.

Yeah. No. No. Yeah. No. Kroger sells movies all

the time. They always have, but there was a section

of the store, just like there's a pharmacy section,

just like there's a, um, of money, customer service

section, you know, whatever, there was a dedicated

video rental section in the Kroger that I worked

at because that's the part of the story. That's

the only part of the story that I could actually

get a job in because all I had to do is stand

there and count change and give people recommendations

on what I think they'd like to rent that night.

Have him fill out the basically it was blockbuster

like a Liam Neeson person come pick up a movie

dude might make me famous story from working

there that those four months this family mother

father and twin daughters daughters were I was

20 when I worked there they were maybe 19 or

20 somewhere around there, so they all come in

and they're looking for this movie They give

me three things. It has Morgan Freeman, Christian

Slater, and a lot of water. I took a beeline

to the H section and I pointed out Hard Rain

and that was the movie they were looking for.

I was a movie master back then when I worked

at that store because I could pick out almost

anything immediately that's it's ridiculous when

my uh when we lived in michigan my uh in -laws

we'd go over there i had no sooner step in the

door take my shoes off walking into the living

room within five seconds i knew what movie they

were watching and they're like they're like man

how'd you know that i'm like i heard a voice

and i says and then i says part of it's the music

or you know it didn't matter where the movie

was in the middle Yeah, I could I could pick

out the movie within five seconds, and I did

that a Couple weeks ago to marry But but truth

be told I saw she had a handful of movies in

her hand So I was able to narrow it down fairly

quickly, but before I'd even heard two seconds

of the movie I was like you're watching this

aren't you and she's like how did you she says

that's just ridiculous, and I was like I says

Don't remember it was we were jumping through

some different ones. I am We just recently watched

liar liar too. So I was having fun with that

I was having a depressed day like I just felt

down in the dumps and I just I was just not happy

and she's like All right. Why don't we watch

liar liar? Cuz I know you like Jim Carrey. I

hate him but She says at least it's not ace Ventura,

so and this movie has a plot and I says well

that one does too I said he's just a complete

idiot, and she says it's not as is She says dumb

and dumber smarter than ace Ventura. I says no

actually dumb and dumber is dumber than ace Ventura

Yeah, I said I would watch ace Ventura before

I'd watch dumb and dumber But yeah, so it was

it was just funny I was like and I was cackling

at the movie like I'd never seen it before And

she was like, OK, she's like, get a grip. She's

like, it's funny, but it's not that funny. And

I says, it's hilarious. I'm like, I says I could

die laughing right now because I was so irritated

and depressed before watching it. And then after

watching it, I was just like, this is hilarious.

I know I've mentioned this to you before. But

you guys aren't. Guys are kind of like me. You're

not horror genre people, right? Okay, well used

to be but she doesn't watch them anymore it creeps

her out. Okay Well, this is more of I guess you

could say Comedy horror kind of thing, I guess

It was a movie that he did a long -ass time ago

long time once bitten Show her that and see see

what she says because it Basically, he's a teenage

kid who this Countess vampire lady needs to she

needs the blood of a virgin owner to continue

to be undead or whatever It's just so hilarious

how how things are done in this in this film

It's so weird But it's Jim Carrey and it's not

it's early like before famous Jim Carrey Yeah,

I love that movie I always have I'm more of a

funny Jim Carrey person, but he wasn't actually

that bad in Sonic by the way Yeah, I've heard

that He actually was really good in that and

it was kind of true to form with his 90s persona

and he fit it really well and he wasn't like

If you like it you like it. Yeah So the point

is I will send you the the trailer and you can

decide for you Like I said, I had seen this in

the mid 90s. I think it's an 80s movie. I could

be it Yeah, it is. I'm familiar with it But I

think before this craps on on us again because
