Between the actors, Danny Boyle, and what sounds like a pretty interesting shoot, I'm actually actually pretty excited for this.
Got a tip for us?

I'm with you. I can't stand dealing with annoying people in a movie theater so I only go when it's a movie that needs a large screen and then I go during the day in the middle of the week to minimize how many other people will be there. Really, considering how far away I sit in a real theater compared to where I sit in relation to my 109" projection screen at home, a movie theater screen isn't that much bigger in my field of view. If I added mini cardboard people silhouettes between myself and my home screen to give me perspective, I could trick myself into thinking I'm watching a huge screen. And I can eat whatever, drink whatever, smoke whatever, wear whatever and fully enjoy the movie at the ambient temperature and audio volume *I* like.

I'd still go to the movie theater too, if I wanted to pay an entire month's worth of Netflix in exchange for two hours of sticky floors, uncomfortable seats, uncontrollable volume, mediocre picture quality, sharing the room with inconsiderate idiots, obnoxious commercials, awkward seating locations, expensive and terrible food, expensive and terrible drinks, trailers so long and revealing that they spoil entire films, and no ability to pause the movie for a bathroom break.
Besides, paying for Netflix is paying for art. I'd argue that I can appreciate that art a lot better at home.
Or how about John Wayne as Genghis Khan? Or Charlton Heston as a Mexican in Touch of Evil?
Or ANY actor who has ever played Jesus as a hot American or British guy instead of a typical middle eastern man so many people might automatically label as potential terrorist now
Or how slow. Apple sold around 18.9 million Macs in 2014 (the financial year, not the other unreal one), that means almost 36 Macs are finished in one minute, which is quite slow compared to the 322 iPhones finished every minute.
Quite a lot of devices. Astonishing.
Same here. Also, when movie insiders of the calibre of Winslet speak so highly of an upcoming release, my interest is now piqued even more than it already was..... once it comes out, I'll definitely see it.....
I've been in some movie theaters in North America, and i think they can only blame themselves ( and not the rise of Home Cinema sets) if they see their audience dropping. Sometimes they feel more like greasy diners with a movie projected in the background as a bonus.
One the things i really enjoy in Europe ( and especially Paris ) is the quality of the movie theaters. Excellent sound and image ( even in some small neighborhood cinemas), confortable seats, and eating in the theater during the movie is very much frown upon here. In fact i would say 80% of the time, i never see anyone eating or drinking once the movie starts (unless it's a kids movie )
Cinema audiences have been actually increasing here.

Could someone tell me which one of those dudes is playing Steve Jobs, because neither one looks even remotely like him.
