Our only large format screen was just a few blocks from my work, but they tore it down about 10 years ago to put in a new ride a the theme park. The ones that are left are domes, maybe 3 or 4 in the area.

I just re-watched the Northman. Such a great movie!

I am in the process of re-watching The Northman. I think the main reason I hated it the FIRST time around was because I didn't understand it.

For example, why didn't Amleth just bring all of his Berserkers to kill Fjolnir and his men on the farm? That would have been a lot easier than pretending to be a slave and trying to avenge all by himself. But from what I read, he had to do it alone because it was prophesied - it was said in the beginning and in the middle that he could not escape his destiny - the prophecy.

I also didn't understand that king Aurvandil raped Gudrun (a slave), and Amleth was conceived from this rape. And that Gudrun actually hated both Aurvandil and Amleth and wanted both of them dead - thus plotting with Fjolnir to kill both Aurvandil and Amleth.

So now that I understand the plot, I can enjoy it a lot more.

The picture quality looks great, and the sound quality is also great. I heard some good overhead sound effects. Overall very solid sound quality.

I love Vampires - Check (Nosferatu 2024)
Werewolves - Check (Werwulf 2026)
Witches - Check (The Witch 2015)
Vikings and the Norse gods- Check (The Northman)
Greek gods - Check (The Lighthouse, which is supposed to reference Prometheus and Proteus)

I never saw "Labyrinth", but I heard that it's a Musical Fantasy movie, and I usually hate musicals. So not so sure about a musical sequel.

Christopher Nolan is doing "The Odyssey". Hopefully he keeps the Greek gods like Homer did.

Wolfgang Petersen did "Troy" (based on The Iliad"), but I didn't like it because he completely removed the Greek gods.

Maybe Robert Eggers can do "The Iliad" and keep the Greek gods, like how he kept Odin/Valkyrie/Valhalla in "The Northman" and Prometheus and Proteus in "The Lighthouse".

I don't know about "The Lighthouse". I read that it's supposed to be about Prometheus and Proteus, but I just see 2 guys going CRAZY.

Labyrinth was Jim Henson. Music by David Bowie, but it is a bit dated now lol. So yes, a bit of a musical, but not a Disney like musical. I like that movie.

Lighthouse was a pretty nuts. The performances are good, but it is just the two of them in the lighthouse the whole time, as they descend into the craziness.
