Do you watch a movie on its first day in the theaters?  |
|
i usually watch a movie not on its first day but on a later day to avoid crowds, especially if the movie is a very popular one that everybody is excited to see. and first days are usually Wednesdays or Thursdays and i have limited time during those days and either i reserve a ticket for the opening day, chances are, i won't be able to find a good seat. worst, i might not even find a seat. so i prefer to watch on the succeeding days when the number of people has already decreased. but this time around, i feel the urge of watching this particular movie on its very first day in the theaters! i wanna watch Forbidden Kingdom on its first day! i wanna watch it on its first day so badly that i feel like crying. its going to premiere on April 18, worldwide and that would land on a Friday here in our country and i can't watch a movie on a Friday night! Friday is a going home day. i go home to our province (weekend break) which is a 2 to 3-hour travel from work. and i'm always tired upon reaching home. too tired that i can't go to a theater and watch a movie. not that i would want to go to our local theater and watch a movie. our local theater is way below the standards. you can't feel that its airconditioned and the quality of the movie is bad. which means i have to wait for Monday until i go to the city (which is where work at). its only April 14 today and i feel like crying over the long wait. T.T this is all Jet Li's fault.

1. gemini_rose (6194) | 4 months ago | No, I do not go and watch a new release at the cinema, I do not really go to the cinema at all. We just get them on dvd as soon as we can! I think once our kids are a bit older and will sit still long enough then we would probably go a bit more, but the last time we took them they got bored after about half an hour and would not sit still.

2. jillhill (5479) | 4 months ago | I hardly ever go to a movie in a theater.....I like waiting and watching them at home or with someone else at their home. I deal with the public all day and sometimes the thought of going and rubbing elbows with people standing in line is not to exciting! Hope you get to see the movie!

4. tigerdragon (2503) | 4 months ago | i do not watch a movie in a theater on its first showing, i do not find the urge to do it. i would rather watch a movie on my own sweet time, relaxing. i do not want to watch a movie so excited and then get dissappointed if the movie ain't that good.

7. gr8life (2352) | 4 months ago | Hello secretbear, You are the greatest fan of Jet Li! I really don't believe that you are going to cry just because you can't make it for the premiere. No, I am just kidding! Don't take it to your heart. For me, it doesn't matter. Whenever there is a new movie, I will go and watch on the first day if I have the time to do so or watch it later, not really a big deal for me. Unfortunately, since I have my son, to go and watch movie at the cinema is something that is very hard for me to do*sad* However, I prefer to stay at home and watch the DVD..aha, it is too late compares to others and the thrills of watching the latest box office is not there anymore...

secretbear (4177) | 4 months ago | hi kun! we can get get tickets too before the first day of a movie but i wasn't used on doing that. so have you already watched this movie? i've watched it last monday. i'm still not able to start a discussion about it because i'm sure i've seen one already.
| |
|
|
kun2349 (2254) | 4 months ago | I'll be watching it tomorrow if nothing goes wrong.. hehe^_^ Hope that it will be a very nice and exciting movie.. haha
| |
|
|
secretbear (4177) | 4 months ago | oh its a nice and exciting movie alright. jet and jackie's fight scene was awesome! but what messed up the movie was really the American. as the silent monk said "He's not even Chinese!". he was really the off thing. if it weren't for Jet and Jackie, everything would be a failure! i'm not satisfied actually.>. <
| |
|
|
kun2349 (2254) | 4 months ago | The american monk is supposed to learn kungfu from jet li rite?? hehe^_^ i'll be watching the movie in a few hours time, and i'll be back tonight to tell u how i find the movie.. hehe
| |
|
|
secretbear (4177) | 3 months ago | the American is not a monk. he was the "traveler". the magic staff of the Monkey King took him to ancient China. and yeah, Jet Li and Jackie Chan were his masters and taught him kung fu.

kun2349 (2254) | 3 months ago | i see.. Up till now, i have not watched the movie!!! My fren keep pushing it off.. I think by time i wanna catch it, they would have stopped screening it:(

|
secretbear (4177) | 3 months ago | wow. really? the tickets were sold out?? wow. great job for Jet and Jackie! the movie is still in the theaters here and its reaching its first month. i wonder if it would last for another week.
| |
|
|
kun2349 (2254) | 3 months ago | I tried to watch it again yesterday, but most of the timing was in the morning or early afternoon where i just woke up.. haha.. And so i missed it again:( Looks like i have to watch on DVD instead.. Yup, it was a complete sold out for almost all the screening.. Even when i was 3 hrs earlier each time i wanna buy the tickets.. LOL

jumpinjack00 (1366) | 4 months ago | Hey I understand. I would miss it also to have fun during my birthday. No I haven't yet. I was on a business trip and mostly in a hotel room over the weekend. Waaaaaaa. I will soon I hope. Was it as awesome as it looks. I saw Jet on a talk show over the weekend. He said Jackie would tell jokes all the time and if someone didn't laugh he threatened to fire you. Then he would laugh also. He's so funny. ‹(°¿°)›

secretbear (4177) | 3 months ago | the action scenes were awesome! i was not satisfied with the story so i can't really say that the movie itself was awesome. but, Jet and Jackie were as awesome as always! i love their fight scene! the drunken immortal and the silent monk didn't want to be defeated by each other. superb. i just wish Jackie had a much better enemy than the white-haired witch. and i wish the Monkey King and the Jade Warlord had a longer fight scene. Jackie is always like that. its too bad that they didn't show the takes at the end of the movie like they always do in Jackie Chan movies.

jumpinjack00 (1366) | 3 months ago | Oh wow that all sounds sooooo cool. I'm surprised there are no outtakes at the end. Maybe when the movie comes out on DVD. I haven't seen it yet, boo hoo, because I'm so busy between two professions either forget or fall asleep before going. I also don't like to go alone and no one has been around to go with. Again boo hoo. LOL Oh well I will go soon hopefully. ‹(°¿°)›

10. roberten (623) | 4 months ago | I do not go to movies too often due to other obligations but I do enjoy the big screen. I usually do not go on opening night but wait until been out a while or even until it makes it way to the two dollar movie house. I love movie going, when I become an emptynester I hope to be able to enjoy more movies out. Thanks for the reminder that movie-going is great.
