i can't see flashbacks in a star wars movie because none of them have any.
and the closest thing we have to a dream sequence was the cave scene in TESB.
actually u know what there WERE those moments in ROTS where anakin was having nightmares about padme but a) those scenes never felt like they belonged in star wars movie to begin with and b) it was the prequels so who gives a fukk.

Yeah but Lucas is no longer directed it. There are rumors that there will be Vader and young Leia flashback. We can't expect JJ or the new directors to follow Lucas Blueprint 100%. The only things that won't change are the Opening Crawl and it panning down to a Ship or Planet. That will stay the same but everything else seems fair game. But it's clear JJ is basically a Spielberg/Lucas disciple so he will keep it close to the original trilogy:
JJ standing next to the Old School Tie-Fighters, this is Luke Skywalkers ship. Also JJ standing with a puppet. So it's clear he's taking back to the original trilogy.

Someone keeps telling me there's one around here or at least within an hour or hour and a half drive...I need some serious motivation to make that drive breh.

Well ours isn't a dollar anymore but it's still referred by it ($2, but have have off Tuesdays). Cinemark 10, ours is right next to Liberty University and is clean. They also hold some special showings like Rifftrax, Classics, and they held the 48 hour film project that I participated in the other week.
It's an good alternative for couples and families that won't to go out to the theater at night and don't want to spend an arm and a leg.

There are still Dollar Theaters. But nowhere near the amount in the 80's and 90's. Drives In's are damn near extinct also. I don't see theaters going away permently but things are changing and these new box office numbers are sending a message.
Hm are they sending a message tho or is it just the movies? I'm not sure if it's people don't want to go to the movies or just that people don't want to see the stuff that came out.

dollar theaters??? never heard of em.
movies are mad expensive these days, especially considering that 90% of the time i go at night.
plus 3D
got me spendin like 18.50 just to watch a movie.
thank god i'm single. if i had gf rite now i'd need a second job just to support my movie going habit
feel bad for all the parents out there too. you take 2 kids and a friend to see a movie, plus food and all that... probably gotta drop like 80-100 bucks.
for a day at the MOVIES.
what a fukkin embarrassment.

Well it can't be both. If people don't want to go to the movies, obviously quality could be an issue but a lot of the blockbusters that underperformed got amazing critical reviews. So is it the quality? or is it people want to save money. I think people are making finanical decisions and feeling like going to the theater isn't worth it anymore. So maybe people use to see 10 movies a year, now they are only seeing 5. The Attendence numbers show to dramatic of a drop off for Hollywood to not notice. So Hollywood is still making money yes but they are doing it off 3D and marked up ticket prices. They are not filling these seats up.
Well that's been going on for years though not just this summer. When you adjust the box office numbers for inflation, damn near nothing makes as much as it used to. When you adjust for inflation, Godzilla made less money than the 98 movie.
