Serving L.A. Since 1990

Do OC people like to go to the movies?: If so, tell us why.

I'm getting a lot of complaints that we are not screening enough in Orange County. Well, here is your forum. Why should we do more screenings down there? Give me some reasons and I'll see what I can do.

Well I was super excited to see this movie and it was decent with some great special effects (I especially love how they did Hades and how he moves, evaporates and is made of smoke) and the casting i think was great. It ventures off the original movie but has the same basic skeletion. The 3D was cool but added little to the overall movies awesomeness, I was hoping for big epicness and although some of the fighting scenes were pretty awesome , others just were lacking (the finale of the battle with Hades jjust comes to an abrupt end and if you blinked then you missed it). I was happy and lucky that I got to see this in advance and for free!

Hey Sean, I just wanted to stop by and say hello and thanks for all of the Orange County screenings. I think that everybody forgot that this page is here. I didn't, i saved it under my favorites and come back occasionally to see if there's anything new here. Question: Do u have any control over the size of the theater used for the screening? Cause thats the biggest problem, people in the OC love screenings and they are hugely popular at the BLOCK in Orange, but lately almost every single screening is in theater #24 (Which seats around 200 or so) and in the past the screenings always used to be in theaters #14-17 (which are closer to 450) If u have any say in the matter or can put a suggestion into the studio reps I'm sure u would get a lot less complaints and grief from whiny people who cant or wont get there extremely early like me to guarantee that they get in. Love ya dude and appreciate all u do for us little people! BTW still waiting to see you in the OC at a screening soon! TTYL

Hey Sean, Just another thank you for doing the screening here in the OC . I used to go to LA all the time, but now with work its near impossible to make a LA screening on a weekday. Please keep em coming, especially at the BLock in Orange, or The Krikorian in Buena Park, or The Edwards Irvine Spectrum. Love ya dude!

(from film.preview@campuscircle.net) Campus Circle doesn't book screenings. The studios just tell us which ones they want us to help fill. And this isn't Sean by the way....did anyone else get this email? thanks for the info, just wondering...

Sean, please offer more screenings in OC. We love the movies and would appreciate your assistance in making it happen. Some of the independent movies I've seen include The Hurt Locker, Away We Go, (500) Days of Summer, Irene in Time, The Stoning of Soraya M., Rudo y Cursi, U.N. Me, and Mysteries of Pittsburgh.

Thanks again for the OC screenings Sean. I see you have another one coming up for "Taking Woodstock" even though we dont deserve it due to the lackluster responses here. As for my answer yes its hard to get down to LA early, in traffic, to get in line to see a film... even though i love arclight. As for me I love indie flicks... for example 'Taking Woodstock' doesnt really look like a movie that will interest me, but i saw that it was from Focus Features and they always come out with very good movies, and that makes me want to see it. One of my favorite and first indie movies i saw was Brick, loved that movie as soon as i saw the trailer, i saw it opening night and met the director. I even saw his recent flick 'The Brothers Bloom', also very good. Indie flicks provide a better movie experience for audiences who want to think, for audiences who are tired of the same old Hollywood ending. Once again thank you, and hope to see you down in the OC soon.

Thanks again for all the screenings Campus Circle! And yes, more OC movie screenings, PLEASE! I've been to screenings at the Block in Orange, the Buena Park Mall & University Town Center (Irvine)and they are all great places to see a movie. With a 9 to 5 type job now, I can't drive into LA very often (the traffic is a nightmare). Besides, think of all the gas burned up by us OC people driving all the way into LA! Tsk, Tsk... Scheduling more screenings in OC saves energy and is good for the environment!!!

Yes, there should be more movie screenings in OC. I'm a "regular" when it comes to going to the free movie screenings and would love to see more movie screenings in OC. Not everyone can drive to LA to see a free movie. Besides with the economy and all, anything free is a good thing !

OC people love going to movies here. I am always looking forward to the next movie to go to. I would like to see more screenings here. Please Sean, we need more movies. I like meeting all the people while we wait in line. I have made some great friends.

Hey all you CAMPUSCIRCLE peeps in the OC, post a message on the OC board to Sean to request more OC screenings. If all of us OC peeps stand united we will receive our desired screenings that are often ONLY in LA.

Hey Sean, I too would love to see more movie screenings here in the OC. The LA screenings are impossible for me to get to, as I have tried - i drove for hours, arrived very early, waited for three more hours, only to be turned away. These advance screenings in the OC are great because I can go to work the next day and tell my co-workers how great the movie was, and, consequently, recommend that they should see the movie. Furthermore, my family and I have grown fond of these screenings, as we attempt to go to all the OC screenings together, that way we can talk and have a good time with one another. In conclusion, I long for these screenings, as they are a break from the average mundane grind of life. More OC screenings = happy OC peeps

I guess OC people aren't interested in getting screenings down there as much as they are saying. I only have 4 comments from members in that area. That's not enough people for me to step up to the plate and ask the film companies to do more screening events down there.

Yes we like indie films, they usually only play at either the Block, oe theIrvine theatre right across from UCI. But i have screened indie films other places. The 3 last "indie films" that i saw were 500 Days of Summer (cute movie),Away We Go (Very understated and hilarious) and Is Anybody There? (a slow but touching film with Michael Cain)

This is all good but do OC people like to go see independent films? If so, where are you going to see them? Also, let me know some of the last indie flicks you have seen. As for coming down there, sure, I'll make a trip this fall down to the Block. I'll have to leave my office though at like 3PM because traffic sucks getting down there.

Thanks Sean for giving us a voice. People in OC are movie goers and love to watch advance screenings too. It would also help the local businesses. There are plenty of great theaters to choose from the Block to the Spectrum.

Hello, as a regular movie screening goer and lover i would love to see more movie screenings in OC. i attend movie screenings on a regular basis and over %80 of screenings i go to are at the block. Its close, convinient, the environment is great, and screenings are always fun in OC. personally i live in the Long Beach area so it takes me about 20 minutes for a screening in OC or 30-45 minutes (depending on traffic) to get to screenings in LA. its a close and easier commute and screenings are less packed in OC which is great too. I would love to see movie screenings on a regular basis in OC at the block. thanks for your time and thank you campuscircle!

U should do more screenings in the O.C. because we r just as crazy and fanatical as the Los Angeles folks. We freak out over upcoming movies, but don't get the premieres and special screenings here, also there is less 2 do here then in LA so movies are very important 2 us. I like to see everything, i love all genres and the more O.C. screenings u do the more i will save on tickets. Thanks Sean for all that u do and i hope to meet u officially soon! Come to the O.C. and check us out!
