    This is garbage… they’re also doing the same exclusive access for books. I just want to read dungeon crawler Carl from my local library but Amazon has exclusive audio book rights.

      Same. Told my astrophysics interested 14 yo son that I’m taking him to the movies later this month, and declining is not an option. And I’m happy to learn that he doesn’t like trailers because of spoilers, so he only knows the title. I’ve read the book, he hasn’t. Can’t wait to find out his reaction to Rocky.

      …i am cautiously optimistic about this movie adaption.

        I was excited (having also read the book) until they spoiled Rocky. I’m hoping it was just marketers doing marketing shit after it was made, but I’m worried.

          Same, although a bit more optimistic: I don’t think it’s makes sense feom a narrative point of view to have Rocky very early in the movie.

    Thanks Trump 1.0 for terminating the Paramount Decree and allowing film studios to exercise monopoly power using movie theaters.
