Caspersfriend Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) We all need to divert our mind, as best we can, from the many problems that currently exist. Movies is one of my distraction 'go-tos'. For me, the intro tells me a lot about whether I even want to watch it. Of course that's more about [the new norm] streaming. When you buy a ticket to a movie theater you are somewhat committed, and will maybe just arrange your [ridiculously expensive] popcorn and soda while ignoring the intro; who really cares about who the senior grip-boy was? Your best intros? Edited August 10, 2021 by Caspersfriend 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibeachlovers Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I assume you are referencing the credits when put on at the start. That doesn't happen very much now, and often don't even put the movie name at start. It'd take more than a boring into to put me off watching the movie. However, the intro scene of Winter Solstice is pretty good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
