Mailbag, Peter Gets Locked Out, Tom Cruise, Crazy Rich Asians, Andy Serkis’ Animal Farm, Men in Black, & Avengers: Infinity War

On the August 2, 2018 episode of /Film Daily, /Film editor-in-chief Peter Sciretta is joined by senior writer Ben Pearson and writer Hoai-Tran Bui to have a brief water cooler discussion, dig into the mail bag and discuss the latest film and TV news, including Tom Cruise, Crazy Rich Asians, Andy Serkis’ Animal Farm, Men in Black, and Avengers: Infinity War. You can subscribe to /Film Daily on iTunes, Google Play, Overcast, Spotify and all the popular podcast apps (here is the RSS URL if you need it). Water Cooler Quickie: Peter got locked out of his house In The Mail Bag: Leanne R writes in “Just wanted to give a short defense of the RunPee app. I actually have a friend who is a girl and she notoriously would take bathroom breaks (at least two) during films and I would get so annoyed at having to recap it for her whenever she got back, but the Run Pee app actually helped our moviegoing experiences. I personally would never use the bathroom during a packed screening of a film I’ve never seen and I don’t like missing scenes in a film generally, but I think for people who value their bladders and don’t mind skipping some parts of a film to relieve themselves, it’s quite useful. Would recommend!” Matt B from Tacoma, WA writes in “Just wanted to drop a line to let you know that RunPee is a fantastic app. I understand that not all people need it for the Pee portion, however the Run in RunPee is a small part that recaps the first 3 minutes of the film in case you are “Running” late. The Pee side is their main focus and the timer you were speaking of gives you a direction to start the timer, something like “as the Sony logo fades, start the timer”. There are usually two to three peetimes listed, one of them being marked as the ideal peetime. Where there is no major dialogue or plot importance, but they do a great job in summing up the short 3-5 minute exposition in a few sentences that you can read on the walk to or from the restroom. The best part about that app that is not promoted is they also include whether or not there is anything post credits. If there is they will give their opinion as to the importance of sticking around or not and if it lies during or after the credits with a brief, spoiler-free synopsis. Thanks for the great podcast and please don’t injure yourself at Comic-Con. PS Give HT and Chris a raise. They’re great!!!” Drew from Houston, TX writes in “I just wanted to throw in my two cents regarding movie theater trash. I worked at a pretty nice theater in Oklahoma back in 2010-2011. We always had people dedicated to cleaning the theaters. We would walk every row and sweep up trash. I don’t think it’s awful for people to leave trash on the ground as long as it’s easy to sweep, like candy wrappers and pieces of popcorn. Drinks left in the cup holders would be disposed of by our workers. However - people can be really gross and rude. Almost every day there would be someone who would leave a cup of dip spit in the cup holder. Things like this would make me almost dry heave as I went to throw them away. If you throw your trash away, thanks for helping us out. If you don’t, it’s not a big deal unless it’s gross. So please, don’t be gross.” Robert L writes in: “I’ve been using Vudu’s Disc 2 Digital and Movies Anywhere to convert my blu-rays to iTunes, doing 3-5 movies a month to not impact my paycheck too much. Although I find it has been worth it, this process has come with some disappointments. The biggest being that you can only get HD quality, even if that movie is available in 4K on iTunes. Also, some single discs are not eligible for Disc 2 Digital and most of all box sets are not eligible. And of course, you have to check to make sure the movie is in Movies Anywhere. Also you can only do 100 movies a year with D2D. In my goal to have most of my important movies in both disc and digital, I can usually wait for a movie to go on sale on iTunes for 5 bucks. I save those for movies that aren’t eligi Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
