The MoviePass outage was caused by the company temporarily running out of cash, and it borrowed $5 million to turn the service back on

@moondrake My app is dead too.

@moondrake @sammydog01 Same

@moondrake where do you see e ticketing? I’m assuming all of the local theatres still don’t have it since I can’t find anything that shows e-tickets.

@moondrake @RiotDemon If you go to the theater list, any e-ticketing theaters should show up first. At least it does on iPhone, not sure about android.

@RiotDemon when the message about the app being closed was up, when I hit X it took me to e ticketing. Now the app is working again and I can’t find e ticketing

@moondrake @RiotDemon It’s completely fixed here. Yay!

@reg036 Apparently Alamo Drafthouse is going to have a similar program as well. I’ve signed up to be notified when I can sign up for the actual program but I don’t have any details on it yet.

@stardate820926 I’m gonna have to do Senima as I’m all Regals by me.

@reg036 mine shows up fine.

@reg036 nevermind. Now that I look at it an hour later it’s blocked.

@reg036 I just chatted with support. Mission impossible is available in eticketing theatres only right now.

Basically they are brushing me off saying it’s how MoviePass is evolving.

@RiotDemon Yeah, lots of hostility on the two sub Reddits towards them.

@nostrom0 You could use the $10 for something like Netflix and watch all sorts of stuff from the comfort of your own toilet. Or, you could rent a couple movies from the likes of Vudu or other such services.

@medz @nostrom0 I like the big screen. A lot. I’ll go to the theater to see all kinds of trash I wouldn’t bother with in my living room. Well maybe less trash since MoviePass looks dead. I was planning on seeing unfriended: Dark Web today. Not paying for it though.

@reg036 half the movies also aren’t in the app.

@sammydog01 yep. Problems again. E-tickets supposedly still working.

@RiotDemon @sammydog01 yeah, it appears that e-ticketing is working but who knows for how long.

@sammydog01 service came back on at 8:45 PM EST. The Reddit MoviepassClub has a thread updated with any info on current status.

@reg036 Thanks! I’ll go to the first showing tomorrow if it still works.

@PlacidPenguin Works for me. Except some of the movies I see don’t make it past two weeks. I’m sitting here all by myself waiting for Unfriended: The Dark Web to start.

@PlacidPenguin What was their plan? Where/when did they plan on making money?

@therealjrn @sammydog01

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@PlacidPenguin @therealjrn afaik, buying stock in movies, then suggesting viewers watch that movie, in turn making money off the movie doing well.

@PlacidPenguin @RiotDemon @therealjrn

Lowe acknowledges that his company is subsidizing ticket buyers and will lose money in the process. However, he believes that MoviePass will be able to prove its value to movie theaters and studios, and that in the future they will cut the company in on their additional profits. Theater owners could also either pay MoviePass back with advertising or give them a percentage of the concessions sales.

@PlacidPenguin @RiotDemon @narfcake That seems a little nebulous.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@narfcake @RiotDemon @therealjrn @sammydog01

I prefer this answer.

@narfcake @PlacidPenguin @RiotDemon @therealjrn They lose money on eash ticket but make it up in volume. That’s how big finance works, right?

@PlacidPenguin The problem with that explanation is that having a MoviePass completely changed my movie going habits so the data is sketchy.

@PlacidPenguin They were hoping to be able to leverage a large subscriber base to work out kickbacks and discounts with studios/movie chains. Then parlay that into working deals with bars/restaurants for food specials. Also tried to get concession profit percentage and use viewing habit data to sell to someone… Heck Facebook thinks movie viewing info is worth something as they are covering fees for Fandango and Atom if you go through their movie portal.

Now I think they are trying to be the movie program for smaller chains, I’m expecting them to cut off AMC theaters at some point soon.

I’m expecting them to cut off AMC theaters at some point soon.

@reg036 Maybe more accurate?

@narfcake lol

They are back up and are raising the price in a month so they might limp on for a bit.

@reg036 Their “surge” pricing remains, though, which makes the value proposition weaker to non-existent for some. $15 + one “surge” already puts them on par with AMC A-list, which is $20/month for 3 movies a week and no blackouts. Watch a second movie on “surge”, and it’s more expensive already.

@RiotDemon Interesting thing about the eticket theaters is that the new “premium” Mission Impossible movie is available there while not supported at other theaters. I wonder if the upcoming major releases will be available in those locations as well.

In my location the nearest eticket theaters are over an hour away in Des Moines. I haven’t tried them out but might combine a movie there with a trip to Sam’s Club and a visit with my brother who lives in the metro area.

So far I haven’t had any recent problems with the service and have yet to see or experience surge pricing. (Yay small-town Iowa!) I also have the year pass good through next April (assuming MoviePass is still around).

@msklzannie Those with quarterly and annual aren’t seeing the surge; it’s mainly those with the monthly that are.

@msklzannie @narfcake surge pricing won’t go into effect until your year is up.

@RiotDemon When I wrote above that my local theaters have gone to e ticketing I misunderstood the app, it’s just showing one theater in another state 250 miles away for e tickets. I just wrote and complained to them this morning that they were reneging on 50% of my 1 year contract by banning me from watching current popular movies and asking them to work on getting some local theaters to do e ticketing. I told him that I would much rather they restricted the number of movies we were able to see per week rather than relegating MoviePass to only being able to watch infantile comedies, b slasher flicks, and off-brand kiddy films. I have Amazon Prime, Netflix and Showtime if I’m just wanting something to watch. If I have to wait weeks to see summer blockbusters with MoviePass, I might as well just wait a few more weeks and see them on my subscription services at home.

@moondrake I’m pretty sure that you using the service less is exactly what they want at this point. or, at least, that’s the best they can hope for…

@Limewater For the moment. But they are going to be losing monthly subscribers in droves I expect. And I suspect customers switching from recruiting friends and telling strangers in line how awesome it is to telling everyone it sucks and they should avoid it is not what they want.

@moondrake @RiotDemon I like the movies. I’ll go see whatever crap is showing if the price is right. Today the heat index is over 100- fingers crossed that Blind Spotting will still be available at showtime. It’s just not the same in my living room.

@moondrake @RiotDemon And Blindspotting just got moved to 3AM. I guess I’m folding laundry instead.

@sammydog01 did you try chatting with help?

@RiotDemon Nope, but I may try tomorrow. If I can’t get in on a Monday morning something is really wrong.

@communist I considered it, but I’m reluctant to stick Costco with the bill. Both for ethical reasons and because I’d like to see more cool deals like this from Costco.

@f00l
I’m not dead!
What?
Nothing! Here’s your nine pence.
I’m not dead!
He says he’s not dead!
Yes he is.
I’m not!
He isn’t?
Well, he will be soon. He’s very ill.
I’m getting better!
No you’re not, you’ll be stone dead in a moment.

@narfcake

/giphy <smile>

@reg036 that’s what happened to me Wednesday and they still paid my ticket.

@msklzannie contact support and let them know it disappeared.

@sammydog01 I had them come and go. New movies showed available and later I checked they weren’t…
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@RiotDemon I was wondering if the quota for each movie is nationwide instead of at the theater and they are selling out early. I guess I should go look it up.

@cranky1950 pyramid scheme? who has the money?

@cranky1950 @therealjrn The theaters, many of whom hate Moviepass. Go figure.

@cranky1950 It doesn’t fit any definition of a pyramid scheme I’ve ever heard of. The people who joined last are not giving their money to the people who joined before them, all the money is going to outside parties who never joined.

@cranky1950 @moondrake I suppose they might have thought they’d be bought out by now.

@cranky1950 @therealjrn Except for people who might have unadvisedly bought year long subscriptions recently I think we’re pretty much all coming out ahead.

@cranky1950 @sammydog01 I almost bought into the subscription way back when.

I’m sad I didn’t.

So I’m just going to make snarky comments about the service auguring into the Earth.

@therealjrn I bought the annual back in November. It’s been a blast- glad I did it.

@moondrake It depends on new memberships to stay solvent. The signup rate has finally tanked, so there are cash flow problems.

@moondrake I imagine next years membership fee will be somewhat higher.

@cranky1950 I got mine from Costco online last December ($89.95), but didn’t get the moviepass until January. I’ve used it twice.

Moviepass doesn’t prorate annual cancellations. I contacted Costco online this morning. Complete refund of my money! Card destined for the shredder, I deleted my account at Moviepass, then deleted the app from my phone.

It’s not worth the aggravation.

@lisaviolet I have a feeling Costco will be eating those refunds. I bet they can’t get it back from MoviePass. Good for you though- you definitely didn’t get your money’s worth. Have you had problems before the last couple of weeks?

@sammydog01 The last time we went was July 1, the Incredibles. No problems.

We don’t go to many movies, I got this pass thinking we’d go to more. But he got busy and works sixty to seventy hours a week and it’s gotta be a movie we’re both really excited about. And we go on Sunday mornings, the first showing. After the movie has been out for two weeks. So the theater won’t have a lot of folks in it.

We saw all these previews for movies we wanted to see. Antman and the Wasp would have been the first. Our plan was to go a week ago. But the moviepass wasn’t available. Monday, it showed at our theater of choice, great, right? Well, the first few days, it didn’t show. Then it showed, but only after five in the afternoon. Forget it, too many people.

I’ve watched it all week long, followed the thread here and elsewhere on the internet. Reading where people were surge charged at all showings. People show up to see the movie and it was no longer available.

Forget it. We’ll just pay the eight bucks. lol

@lisaviolet Yeah, you have to be willing to watch crap for it to pay for itself. I love watching crap.

@sammydog01 lol! We get our crap from Netflix - we get one disk at a time. Sometimes it’s tough to find movies to add to the queue.

@cranky1950 @lisaviolet Same timing for me.

WTF is that?

We have a blu ray player and one player that holds six disks. And we have streaming netflix, hulu, amazon, google, vudu, hbo, starz, epix and showtime.

Lots of stuff to watch. The Netflix disks are cheaper than renting streaming movies.

@Yoda_Daenerys mine officially ends 8/20 (i also cancelled the account via the app). I figured I got two free movies as it was.

Don’t forget to cancel at moviepass. They have your credit card info.

@f00l I don’t think I’ve ever managed to see more than two in a week… I’m still not sure how I feel about this. If it keeps me to be able to see cheap movies, I’ll survive.

@f00l @RiotDemon I would be shocked if that many people ever saw more than 3 movies a week. I would like to see the math.

@f00l @sammydog01 I’m hoping that by the time my year is up, they’re still around, and and they’ve figured this shit out. The constant changing is tiring. If I was a monthly subscriber, I would of lost my mind with the terrible peak pricing from what I’ve seen.

The fact that you can only see the same movie one time, should of been from the beginning. Same thing with the movie stub photos. Too many people took advantage just to sell their tickets or to get points from Regal, or whatever club their movie theater had.

@sammydog01 I had 1 week where I saw 4 movies: Hotel Transylvania 3, Skyscraper, Mamma Mia 2, and The Equalizer 2…

But I made up for that by not being able to watch any this last week since MoviePass kept removing the early shows before the theater opened. I usually work evenings and the movie theaters are in other towns so I can only ever go to the 12:30 or 1:00 shows on workdays if I want to get to work on time.

@f00l @RiotDemon @sammydog01 I’m reading a limit of three a month, not three a week.
https://variety.com/2018/film/news/moviepass-box-office-plan-1202895977/

@narfcake well. That’s a whole nother story.

@narfcake @RiotDemon @sammydog01

Ouch.

Once again, I’m not affected until renewal. Guess I’ll see what happens before then.

@narfcake @RiotDemon @sammydog01

3 movies a month seems to be the current “everywhere repeated” info about the new limit.

Sux.

@f00l @narfcake @RiotDemon @sammydog01 Three a month is only worthwhile if there are no other restrictions. I go to matinees, which run $7, and several theaters in town have $5 Tuesdays or $6 senior Mondays. So I can see 3 movies a month for $15-20 without any subscription.

@f00l @narfcake @RiotDemon @sammydog01 If Cinemark would create a matinee or seniors version of their movie club allowing two weekday matinee movies per month for their $8.99 per month fee I’d consider it, although my favorite theater is Premeire, which doesn’t have a movie club.

@f00l @narfcake @RiotDemon I have a few months left on my membership and three a month is better than none a month. I won’t be renewing if that’s the case though.

@f00l @moondrake @RiotDemon @sammydog01
Among the restrictions that remain are no new releases in the first two weeks and you can’t see the same movie twice.

So yeah, they’re getting very close to not worthwhile.

@f00l @moondrake @narfcake @RiotDemon @sammydog01

I just used my Costco credit to get two ten packs @ $99.99 each for Regal Cinemas. I had to add money, but these never expire. No shipping, no tax. No restrictions. If you deduct the credit that I wasn’t sure I’d get for the Moviepass, that’s $110. For twenty tickets. I’m okay with that.

Since we don’t see a lot of movies, these should last a while. We finally used up the ones I got back when films weren’t in color last year. Now we’re working on the ones I got back in 2015. We have nine of those left. So, we’re probably set for the next five years. At least.

@f00l @lisaviolet @narfcake @RiotDemon @sammydog01 Yeah, I’ve seen about 50 movies this year already, 41 on Moviepass, the rest premium showings not covered by MP.

@sammydog01 if you paid for the toy, why wouldn’t they give it to you automatically?

Rude.

@RiotDemon I know, right?

@sammydog01 I saw 41 movies from the middle of January thru mid-July using MoviePass, so I’m a higher end user. I’d be okay with the 3 movies a month, but I’m almost certainly not going to be okay with them picking my movies. Have to see how the blackouts go, my membership has 5 months left. But the movies I want to see are the ones most likely to be blacked out. So once my membership is up I will likely be out.

@djslack

What’s the selection? Full or curtailed?

Ah. It’s horrible.

Fuckity fuck.
Even tho it was an impossible idea.

@djslack
Sigh

@f00l I only get options to see Spy who dumped me, one showing, and the Meg, one showing at one theatre.

The other theatre I have both of those plus slender Man.

@RiotDemon

: /

@f00l they also blocked the help chat so I can’t even talk to a real person to complain. They don’t have a notice this time saying why it’s so limited.

@moondrake I wouldn’t of taken a photo. I would of gotten help on the line. They’ll never compensate you.

This went downhill real quick.

@moondrake @RiotDemon

As I understand?: MoviePass thought they could get discount agreements and concession sharing agreements from theaters.

They couldn’t. In the meantime they were shelling out far more than they took in every day.

So it looks like they crash and burn.

But consumer were going to movies more. And buying concessions. So theaters benefited.

Now consumers won’t go so much without MoviePass. And consumers not at the theatre won’t be buying popcorn.

And consumers will be mad at theater chains as much as mad at MoviePass.

Net huge long-term loss for theaters, that they did not get behind this, I would guess.

@RiotDemon We got there right as the movie was starting.

@f00l @RiotDemon yes, I am planning on writing Cinemark and telling them the story, that I came to use my MoviePass and buy some popcorn and soda to watch a movie that I basically had no interest in seeing, it was just something to do with my friend and her mom. But MoviePass didn’t work, so I had to pay for the ticket and as a result did not buy anything at the concession stand. Moreover since it appears that MoviePass is not going to start working again, I won’t be coming to movies like this one at all. So instead of getting my $16 for the movie and concessions, and the ticket and concession income for the friends that I bring with me to the theaters, we will be spending our money shopping, dining out, and doing other things. And I’ll go back to only seeing movies I really want to see on the big screen, and watching the rest on Netflix and Amazon Prime.

@f00l when movie pass cost $30 a month, it might of made sense for them. At 10 or less, no way.

@RiotDemon

If moviepass cost $30 a month, only a tiny market for it. Not what the company wanted.

The biz owners were overly optimistic by light-years. But the theater owners have been shortsighted as well.

@f00l it used to cost $30 a month. They didn’t have enough subscribers. That’s when they changed the price. It blew up.

I guess it’s a good thing for AMC with their $20 pass. It’s too bad the one by me takes 30 minutes to get to. That might of never become a thing if it wasn’t for MoviePass.

@f00l @moondrake @RiotDemon Well, if you go to movie theaters by AMC or Edwards/Regal, you can get tickets that never expire from Costco for nine or ten bucks (depending on what state you live in, here in Cal, it’s ten bucks) each.

https://www.costco.com/Regal-Entertainment-Group-Premiere-Movie-Tickets%2C-10-pack.product.100303565.html

The AMC pack is on sale right now, $10 to $12.50 off of a ten pack (ends tomorrow), depending on where you live.

https://www.costco.com/AMC-10-pack-Movie-Tickets.product.100393556.html

@f00l @lisaviolet @RiotDemon Thanks, but we only go to matineees, which run $7-8. The local AMC is my least favorite theater. They recently redid their seat as recliners but did a terrible job. They are uncomfortably narrow and have an unprotected heater button at your hip that is turned on and off every time you move. AMC also doesn’t have a refillable cup, so if you want a soda its $7 or so. Cinemark has comfortable recliner seats and a $3.50 refillable cup (and a $4.50 refillable popcorn tub). Premiere has regular seats but excellent popcorn, I get a small for free (VIP card) and their refillable soda and popcorn are only $2.50 each.

@f00l @moondrake @RiotDemon I checked on The Equalizer 2 for this morning, and the cost for the matinee (the first showing) here was $11.20. We would have gone but we had a cat crisis yesterday (I think our COPD cat had a bout of heat stroke, scary, wetted him down, kept him in the cool bathroom, gave him subQ fluids to keep him hydrated) and we’re keeping an eye on him today.

We’re still working on the forever tickets I got back in 2015 for $8 each.

Usually, the only concession we buy is a bottle of water or two. We got a small popcorn for free last time (points built up on our pass) and I was paying for it the rest of the day. Urp.

Because of hubby’s work schedule, we usually only go to first movie on Sundays. I think we would have gotten more advantage of the moviepass this year, but he lost hours each week going for his radiation treatment, hours he’d usually be building orders.

I think the costco thing is a great deal for people like us who don’t go to movies that often and the fact that there’s no expiration date is a big plus.

I know they won’t work for everyone, but it’s nice to know that they’re available.

@lisaviolet @moondrake @RiotDemon

I thought that if MoviePass pulled it off, it might be a good enough thing to get me to go back to a theater.

I usually only go to theaters for a holiday season release of a Star Wars movie.

Otherwise it’s expensive and involves dealing with crowds and parking and I’m not wild about the experience.

So I guess I can do without movies for a while longer. Yea Netflix! Even tho I never make time for it.

(I missed the Han Solo film because they released it in May and I was not in the mood for SW then.)

(I know the original SW films were summer holidays season film releases.
That was fine. That was then.
Now I wanna see SW films at Xmas. Poor me! )

@f00l @moondrake @RiotDemon We had a list. The Incredibles. MI:6. Equalizer 2. Antman and the Wasp. There were some more.

The only one we saw was the incredibles.

@reg036 hmm, I’ll have to try that. I saw everything available this morning but now only one thing is available. Annoyed.

@reg036 tried it… After 9am, my movie choice went away.

Apparently the email I got is correct. It’s mission impossible Tuesday because that’s all that’s available.

@RiotDemon Yup, maybe only works if they pull a few times away, I dunno but I am planning to get tickets today for it. Had to exchange my tickets last night for return vouchers as we had an unexpected visitor for dinner.

@lisaviolet if you keep the app and hit accept on the pop up you get resubscribed if you canceled before.

@reg036 I got rid of the app when I cancelled. Reading some of the comments, people were notified by email that they’d been resubscribed.

@lisaviolet hmmmmm.

@f00l

@f00l

@f00l at least I can go see The Meg later.

I don’t even have a choice for slenderman.

Actual reply:

We are so sorry for your frustrations here. We promise these are temporary inconveniences and we ask for your patience for the short while. Updates are coming soon.

@PlacidPenguin if it ever let’s me… I was planning on it.

@RiotDemon

I was actually just thinking:

If MoviePass is still around.

@PlacidPenguin exactly.

@PlacidPenguin I’m planning on seeing it, part of a Regal promo (see certain movies get extra points, popcorn and digital copies), I’ll let you know unless you don’t trust me lol.

@reg036

Sure.

@PlacidPenguin @reg036 I do those for the popcorn. I hope Moviepass is still around for Halloween- that’s the last one I need for that set.

@sammydog01 there are 2 other promos going:

1- STX Films: Mile 22, Happytime murders, & Peppermint.
2- Lionsgate: Spy Who Dumped Me, A simple Favor, Hellfest, & Robin Hood.

@reg036 I’m shooting for the free popcorn level on those too.

@sammydog01 I usually trade the digital copies for Amazon GCs (or some other GC) over on Slickdeals, makes it even more lucrative.

@PlacidPenguin @reg036 I saw The Happytime Murders today. It was filthy. My teenager wanted to go and didn’t bother to check the reviews first. She had her eyes covered for a lot of it.

So I guess it depends on your sensibilities. It was hilarious at times. And it was the first time I had ever seen tentacle porn.

@sammydog01

Teens. Am I right?

---

Thank you.

@PlacidPenguin @sammydog01 planning on seeing this tonight, but I just saw your note about 3 movies a month… I saw two this week already.

@PlacidPenguin @sammydog01 Just saw it today, really filthy but I thought it was a bad movie, worst I’ve seen all year

@reg036 @sammydog01 @RiotDemon

Guess I’m going to pass on it.

Thanks.

@reg036 I like Regal so much better than AMC (even though AMC is miles closer to me). I second your hope.

@reg036 the new schedule sucks. There’s movies out right now that I want to see that aren’t on the list all week.

The movies available today aren’t until 7pm or later.

I’m wondering how my theatre will feel about ticket swapping…

@RiotDemon Just buy, wait a little of time and go ask with a story like your friends bailed on you or you got called into work.

@dilireba

The rise and fall off a company over the course of 7 years? Yup.

@dilireba It’s been a crazy year of cheap movies and diminishing corporate funds.

@sammydog01 did you see Darkest Minds? I missed it because of the fiasco and apparently it was only in the theatre a couple of weeks anyway.

@RiotDemon Nope. It looked good until the teenage kissy parts in the preview. That’s a fast veto. Slenderman wasn’t too bad.

@sammydog01 Is that like Jaws?

@therealjrn Jaws meets Syfy channel made for TV. movies. Yee Haw!

@sammydog01 heard that was decent.

@sammydog01 @therealjrn Next on Syfy, Super Sharknado vs The Meg.

KuoH

@kuoh @therealjrn I would pay to see that.

@sammydog01 @therealjrn Spoiler alert: Tara Reid wins!

KuoH

@kuoh Tara Reid has no idea how much she could win. My shit is that good.

@sammydog01 The Meg is a fun movie. I’m kind of disappointed they don’t have the surfing scene from the book, but I guess most movies don’t feature a random teenager surfing away to escape a giant shark.

Warning: Jason Statham smiles in this movie. A lot. I’ve seen a lot of his movies, and this may be the first time I’ve seen him smile…

@Limewater I loved this movie! His full on smile is a bit creepy but the shower scene made up for it.

@mfladd Yep, The Meg is only being offered one day this week- tomorrow. I won’t know what time until I guess tomorrow? I went to see Slenderman on Saturday instead. It’s scary. Really scary. But free, am I right?

@mfladd misery loves company.

@mfladd @sammydog01 looks like I missed Slenderman. I’m sad.

@mfladd @RiotDemon Looks like I missed Mission Impossible. I’m sad too.

@mfladd @sammydog01 free game for you:

https://en.softonic.com/download/slender/windows?ex=CAT-801.2#tab-overview

@sammydog01 it was only Tuesday. I was mad, and haven’t seen any other MI except the first one, so I skipped it.

@RiotDemon @sammydog01 My kids, and I guess the kids their age are playing this one: Granny
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dvloper.granny&hl=en_US

@mfladd @RiotDemon NO NO NO NO The movie was scary enough.

@sammydog01 awwwww, come on!

@RiotDemon
/giphy NO WAY

MI was good, best action flick of the year!

@sammydog01 How much longer until they implode? Also, goat blaming is in order.

@sammydog01 I haven’t gotten that email yet. I would welcome an opportunity for even a partial refund, since I haven’t been able to see any movies for a couple of months. The only e-ticketing theater is 250 miles away. So I can’t use that feature. The last time I tried to use MoviePass I checked in, sent them a photo of my ticket, but the movie pass card would not work, they hadn’t charged it with any money. I haven’t tried since then.

@moondrake There was a time there when they didn’t have enough money day to day. It seems to be better now. You might try it again. Or wait for an email- mine came today.

@sammydog01 mehhhhh. It only gives me $2 off happytime murders because I’ve seen four movies this month supposedly.

Says up to $5 off.

Probably won’t be seeing anything until it’s a matinee.

/giphy sad face

@RiotDemon @sammydog01

Yup, just found this article.

@RiotDemon Fun fact: that movie was the only time I’ve seen the word bukkakke outside of Cards Against Humanity.

@sammydog01 how old is the kid you brought? Haha

I will probably wait until Monday. Hopefully they’ll have a matinee showing. At least then the price won’t be so bad. Then the measly $2 credit will help.

I’m curious how much they’ll prorate the membership… I mean probably worth keeping it anyway since the yearly fee was only around 6.95 a month. That’s still way cheaper than three movies.

@RiotDemon She turns 18 in a week so I don’t think I would get in trouble with child protective services.

I checked and that was my fifth movie this month so if I hadn’t gone I would have lost out on a freebie.

@RiotDemon @sammydog01

bukkakke

So much of my street education came from The Howard Stern Show.

Sigh. Wasted life or something.

@f00l @sammydog01 nowadays it’s the internet. My family got their first computer when I was 13. Kids these days always had the computer available growing up. No need to ask awkward questions to parents, just look it up on the internet.

I had a friend whose kids are in their early 20s. They did not know how to clear their browser history or go incognito. The parents knew how to search. It might of been a little awkward.

@f00l @RiotDemon @sammydog01
One word: SpectorPro
If you actually really do want to know what they are up to on the internet.

@msklzannie how much money are they giving back? 6.95 a month or?

@RiotDemon It’s prorated based on time left. My refund will be $53.72, which is 7.73 months at $6.95/month. They might be prorating the additional $10 fee that was part of the initial cost since I should have had less than 7.73 months left (maybe about 7.25).

@reg036 I liked it too.

@sammydog01 It was my last movie. I liked it. I hadn’t read any spoilers so the ending was a bit of a surprise. I did go into it knowing that Mark Wahlberg’s character talks a lot and could be perceived as annoying.

@msklzannie I get free popcorn if I go. I may check it out. Thanks!

@sammydog01 are you planning on cancelling? They reminded me that I have to do it soon.

@RiotDemon Nope. I’m ok with 3 a month and it was my birthday gift. (To myself.)

@RiotDemon @sammydog01 My reasoning behind cancelling was based on my membership being until April (who knows if they’ll still be around then), them changing to “you can only see these movies on these days”, and the frequent pulling of the early showtimes.

I usually work evenings/nights so I pretty much can’t watch anything that starts after 1:15 pm. If I’d had only 2-3 months left, I probably would have stuck with it.

@msklzannie @sammydog01 I totally understand. Mine is only until November so I’m not too worried. I definitely got my money’s worth already. Even if they fold next month, it’ll be alright. Hopefully they won’t.

@sammydog01 I saw Mile 22 ,it was ok. Would watch it again and then be done with it unless the GF was craving seeing Markey Mark again.

@sammydog01 3 movies for $10 is good for me also.

@msklzannie @RiotDemon Mine expires in November too so whatever. I’m on their list of people responsible for their problems.

@sammydog01 I think they highly underestimated how many movies people will see when they’re basically unlimited.

I just saw that Sinemia is doing deals if you pay a whole year up front. 9.99 for 3 movies a month. 14.99 for IMAX/3D. Any theatre/time.

hmmm, i cancelled my annual plan…
