I cannot wait for SINNERS. When Ryan Coogler and Michael B. Jordan team up, it's always a cinematic event. It's starting to remind me of Scorsese and De Niro or John Wayne and John Ford. Can you think of another actor/director duo as exciting as these two together? https://variety.com/2024/film/news...

I wish I lived closer to Dallas! It will be a great film.
It can definitely get expensive now, Dan MaxXx! We usually only see one IMAX movie a year, so at least it feels like we're going out for a special experience.
