You didn’t actually say whether all/any of these movies appealed to you, though. Did you like The Odyssey? Also, you really should have checked out Obsession. That movie is way too good to reduce to just a home theater viewing.
I did say I thought they were all wonderful. Enjoyed them all. Odysseus was too loud in the theatre and i wish it had had an intermission so i could have peed, and i could have done with less violence, but it was a great story. I forgot I also “saw” Babylon in theaters. I fell asleep right away and woke up a few times but have no idea what it was about. I’ve never heard of Obsession and am not really interested. I wasn’t interested in Odysseus, just went because a group of friends had a spare ticket and i wanted to hang out with them. Did not realize it was three hours long. Figured I’d fall asleep, but I didn’t!
On a side note, it kind of feels like zendaya and Anne Hathaway are the only two actresses in the world right now. There were two movie trailers with them as stars before the feature film in which they played major roles. They are both so lovely, but I am fatigued and there are so many other talented people ! This is another reason I don’t like movies. It’s harder and harder to enjoy the characters instead of just seeing “Anne Hathaway again, but in a different outfit” or “zendaya the goddess/space princess/spiderman/junkie”
ETA I saw Here the tom hanks movie at my house and it was maybe one of the most interesting and enjoyable movies I’ve ever seen. I got to pause it to pee, I got to smoke weed, I got to cook good food to eat while I watched it, I got to cozy up on my couch w my cat, I got to rewind if I didn’t understand a part or missed something. I got to adjust the volume. 10/10 viewing experience. No part of it would have been made better by having the screen be big.
My bad, I can’t read. And yeah, you’re right; it’s pretty weird that Zendaya and Hathaway are showing up everywhere. It’s not usually like this. I think the industry’s stagnation is finally manifesting. And true, fair (re: the benefits of home theater)… I am finally setting up my TV in my new place so I look forward to achieving a similar setup!
