Coming Soon: 23 March @ AMC Fitchburg

My second senior discount in a row!

Trailers for The Assessment. Things began with a commercial for the Metropolitan Opera which was followed by a commercial for another Christian feature, Carlo Acutis: Roadmap to Reality. This one is a documentary about a kid who died young and, according to Wikipedia, became canonized as the patron of  online influencers. Good lord.

 

Nice to see a trailer for David Cronenberg's latest, though I have a ticket for it at the Wisconsin Film Festival. The Penguin Lessons looks cute.

Coming Soon: 22 March @ AMC Fitchburg

Trailers at a screening of Ash. These followed a commercial for The Chosen: Last Supper and one for the Metropolitan Opera. Why do these Christian movies get commercials instead of trailers? Did the distributor pay to get their commercial shown? Do theaters get paid to run these movies or do they choose to screen them like other, secular/profane ones?

Summer approaches so now cometh the slasher flicks. While I had read some good words about Freaky Tales the trailer left me wholly unenthusiastic. Two red band trailers. They used to be as rare as hen's teeth and now they're not uncommon.
