I recall it happening at a point during the film where one of the customers are taking a lot then it goes quiet and I hear that in either the rear speaker or from someone in our audience. It didn’t sound like anyone in our audience was talking or making much noise so I was thinking it was in the film. Did anyone else experience this?

that may have been the movie? was it during

i was looking forward to this one, the cast was great, i was thoroughly entertained throughout and nevertheless left the theater feeling like i kiiiinda didn't get it. lots of intriguing setups but a bit of a nonsensical ending, imo

I think it might had been. It was early on in the film.

Maybe because it only opened on November 18th.

Wildly unexpected film. More of a psychological thriller with some nice horror elements, dark humor, and a commentary on snobbery. Anna Taylor-Joy and Ralph Fiennes were as impressive as always. Really everyone was great across the board. My whole audience was into it and I thought it was one of the best films of the year so far.

Highly recommended.

I had a weird feeling watching this last night,
The movie itself felt claustrophobic and stressful, wish of course is the point
of the plot, that was achieved. It was a good theater experience.
But when I left the theater my friend and I we both felt it
was an empty experience with a sour taste afterwards.

I will give it a 5/10 rating.

On the other hand I watched also "Triangle of Sadness" and hello, hello, hello!
this was histericaly funny and a masterpiece!

Any word on whether or not this is getting a disc release? I know Disney doesn't give much of a shit these days about physical media but it would be nice to know.

I know Bullmoose has a listing for the BD. So I would think so.

Barbarian was never even intended to be a theatrical release; Was originally supposed to be a HULU thing until test reactions came back enthusiastic, so Disney just threw the movie into a bunch of cinemas and bingo bango.

My spelling suxs.

Funny you said that. the same thing happen with Smile. it was originally suppose to be a Paramount+ movie. But tested well and put it in theaters. $215 million dollars later. Sure they're glad they did that. Movie cost $17 million to make. So yeah they made their money back.

Let's hope they learn from it and realise that streaming is not the goose with the golden eggs.

Art should ideally be enjoyed by two different parties: The artists that make it, and the consumers it is intended for. But there can come a point at which the artists become tired and disillusioned by the demands of the consumers, who want more of the same, over and over, as they come to see someone else's life's work as a disposable commodity. And in the middle, are the monied interests that drive the cycle, and reap the financial rewards. This is the thesis statement of The Menu. Making it quite ironic that the film is owned and distributed by Di$ney.

I enjoyed the movie a lot. I'm not a foodie; I like to eat, but my pallette isn't sophisticated enough to appreciate the fancy stuff. But the early parts, where it's just presenting the characters and the menu, were quite interesting. Once things kick into gear, it becomes intense very quickly. It's got good characters, with the always-excellent Ralph Finnes presiding. There are some things that don't hold up to scrutiny, but that's par for the course for a thriller. Recommended!

P.S. I would buy a 4K UHD if they release one.

I'd caution against confusing the two. Yeah, they've both been in the marketplace at around the same time but I think the similarities evaporate once one looks beyond the "eat the rich" critiques.

I like the way a writer/director friend of mine put it: Menu is a genre pic that prioritizes story over themes whereas Triangle prizes its (socialist critique) themes over story. Triangle is very . . . European.

You called it, CraigBarr2003: No UHD BD.

So will this be on digital Tuesday?
