I didn't know they still existed, to be honest. All of the locations near my house that I used to use were removed long ago and I just assumed they had all been taken down by now.
Vote now in wave 1 of the FEOTM Reboot!
I think people would wonder where the next one is, and years later it would show up on lists of movies with plot holes "everybody missed" that isn't actually a list of plot holes. You know the type. But I don't think people would leave the theater feeling like the story was incomplete, to answer your question.If Harry Potter wasn't based on books and for whatever reason the movie flop so badly they run out of money after Prisoner of Azkaban, would anyone feel the story is incomplete? Those first three movies are pretty standalone. Sure, Voldemort never fully returns, but would anyone assume he was going to? It wasn't really promised was it? Heck, if you make Tom Riddle a separate character (which if you think about it would be as trivial as removing the reveal) you end up with an anthology of movies with different villains like Indiana Jones or superhero movies.
I have thought for some time about how I would have handled the story after the third or fourth entry, and what I would have done was have Voldemort out wizards publicly and attack the muggle world. But that's just me.
I must completely agree.I've always thought the series should have ended with the worlds' wizards revealing themselves to the rest of the globe. Not only does their self-imposed isolation raise all sorts of ethical problems, but most great endings have an element of melancholy to them (example: the Elves leaving Middle-Earth), and puncturing the cozy insularity of the wizarding community would have been an ideal way to achieve that.
There would still be centuries of stories to be told before such a major in-universe change, of course, so it's not as though future tales would necessarily have to reckon with or explore that process. But, as Q said, "All good things must come to an end."
Instead, however, Rowling said "Nah, it'll be fine," and her disinterest in modifying the status quo in any way allowed for the narrative masterpiece that was The Cursed Child.
The Night Court reboot features an actor by the name of Nyambi Nyambi.It occurred to me the other day that Billy Dee Williams is literally named William Williams.
100% positive sure, but only 6 reviews, ten times less than the first.
A miracle has just happened.
The general reception is still way better than before. There are critical people sure but it's mainly the same kind of pearlclutchers that complained about killer Santa in Silent Night Deadly Night.100% positive sure, but only 6 reviews, ten times less than the first.
I don't know who is reviewing the film and I'm not super interested in the film or reading the reviews, so I can't say whether I agree or disagree that they are pearl clutching. But I can see the numbers. On RT it's currently got 20 reviews and the rating went to 50%.The general reception is still way better than before.

Some guy at Walmart stopped me to ask if I'd seen the new Aquaman. He wanted to hear someone else's opinion before partaking in it himself. I told him that I had not in fact seen it, that I had wanted to but never got around to it (It came out around my birthday, nobody wanted to see it with me and I didn't want to go alone). He asked about the reviews, and I had to say that I hadn't paid attention to the reviews. In truth, I didn't have the heart to say that I've heard nothing but bad things about it. As far as I could tell, he did not buy the new Aquaman that day.
Seconded. I actually prefer going alone. Even though I enjoy going with my wife and kids (or friends), I like not worrying if they are enjoying themselves. But really, don’t wait for others to do anything you enjoy. Can’t find someone to try out that new restaurant? Go alone. No one wants to take that trip you’ve always wanted to do? Go alone. You’ll have a blast!Side note, I didn't start going to the theater alone until recently as well, you should try it sometime. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed myself, watching a movie in theaters, by myself.
I have no problem going to the movies alone, it just felt sad going out to celebrate my birthday alone. Plus I had a couple people agree to go with me only to say later that they weren't actually interested, and that soured the mood.Side note, I didn't start going to the theater alone until recently as well, you should try it sometime.
