Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, there's a new poll from the Associated Press in
the Center for Public Affairs Research, and they found out
what a lot of us It says here already, No,
people would rather stream new movies at home than go
to the theater.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
Please do I disagree?
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I think people who want to stream out of stream
and stay out of the theater so I can pay
for a ticket and enjoy the movie and sort.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
I think Alex Stone ABC News is joining us right now.
And Alex, you're a little bit younger than Chuck and I,
I mean, where do you come down on this?
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Twenty one I'm way younger than you, And.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Yeah, I would much rather watch it at home.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I don't want to go to the movie theater.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
So has it always been that way for you? Because
I know a lot of people got kind of soiled
when it comes to you know, during COVID, everybody's like.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
I'm not, oh my god, we got reserve.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
And then people's actually say that all about it.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
If they were, they just melt shoes, they melt into nothing.
They're just like I get. But I was one of
those people. I'm like, no, don't shut the theaters down.
And then they open them up and then AMC had
all these problems. I'm like, please, don't make the theater man.
It's like one of my favorite things to do. And
(01:22):
I'm one of the people that will go by myself
to the theater. People say that is the weirdest thing.
You're like a terrorist doing that. I'm like, no, no,
I just like to go there and I don't have
to deal with anybody talking to me when I'm trying
to I'm like, I just paid a million dollars to
watch this movie.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Shut up or talking in general, talking on their phone.
Their phones lit up in front of you while they're
playing some stupid online game or something. Do that at
home on your couch where you can yell at the screen.
Let me pay the money and watch some movies.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Some movies have to be experienced in a theater or
they lose some of their punch. Yes to me, I
feel like the Jurassic Park movie. That is much a
much better experience when you're sitting there and t Rex
and I'm going all the way back to the very
fur like Jeff Goldbloom, that like where it's like I
(02:12):
agree walking and you see the puddle, good, thank you,
And you see the puddles kind of you know, with
the little the little ripples and yeah, and you go.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Oh boy, here we go.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Here comes the t Rex. He's gonna eat the guy
that's sitting on the toilet.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
And in the job, you're saying this to yourself while
you're sitting in the back all by yourself and a
black hoodie with the top up and sunglasses on, and
everyone's looking at you.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Like, no, no, wait a minute, you added the hoodie
and the glasses. I don't sit there like that movies.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
I have been known to not go in there and
make myself evidence.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
Listen, right, the only thing that you're hearing with me
is like I might be eating some pop corner or
something that's crunching. Other than that, that's the only sound
you're gonna hear out of men.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
The movie Perfect Storm sucks on TV. Excellent in the
movie theater A perfect storm. Remember Warhorse. I think it
was a PG movie, but it was a wonderful movie.
And to watch that horse in battle running through you
had to see that in a theater. There are some
things that you know I don't from I don't care
if the TV is at home. You've got to see
him in that theater.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Yeah, with that sound, they's like your seats vibrating, and yeah, absolutely,
but they're saying. According to this, thirty two percent of
the people that responded say they watched a recently released
film on streaming rather than going to the theater at least
once a month. And so I just watched Superman the
(03:35):
latest one at home. I didn't see that in the theater,
although I wanted to see it in the theater, because those,
for me are those dynamic kind of big screen you know,
blockbuster types or what have you. And some of them
it's like, eh, it doesn't matter where you see it,
But some of those ones that are just designed for
a theater, I'm just old.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
School, Like, now, what about missus Alex Stone, does she
not do it? In your early relationship.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Movies and New Esta when we were dating, yeah, we
would go.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
And then there are times when our kids want to
go and and you know, they'll go see something, but
uh no, when I go, I'm happy that I went,
but it's I'm not one that I'll just wait for
it to come out on streaming because it seems like
too much of too much work to go to our
town center area and get a ticket it's expensive.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
It's different in Los Angeles.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
You're almost feeble for our family of four to go.
I mean, that's an expensive night out. And so, you know,
I'll just think, well, it'll be it'll be streaming now.
That's so fast to remember when it used to be
like six months before it was available on like DVD
or at phs. Now within like three or four weeks.
Like there's an Apple movie coming out. It's by Apple,
but it's in theaters now, I think, and it's uh,
(04:43):
it's going to be streaming at the end of this week.
It's about the Fire up in Paradise, California, with Matthew
McConaughey and a bunch of Mark Ferarra and others. It
looks really good and I was like, oh, I want
to go see that. And then it said, uh, in
theaters now as of like Saturday or Sunday streaming on
October third. I was like, well, all right, I'll just
wait four or five days. People watch it at home
(05:04):
for free.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
It almost makes sense, honestly, for the big studios, the Disney's,
the MGMs and so forth, just to you know, sell
you a streaming service, a direct to direct to stream.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Kind of what they do now when you're pans like
their streaming.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
So look, because we're SAG after members, we've got to
be to work here that we we've got the SAG
Awards every year, and that used to be a big deal.
When we would get the copies you know that weren't
released yet so that we could vote.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
We would get the screener copies.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Now when they come, I'm like, because everything it used
to be, but now it's all streaming and it's already
out there so quickly that pretty much they send you
the DVDs and you're like, what do I do with
this old school DVD?
Speaker 2 (05:42):
It's been streaming for months now.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
And it used to be to get the DVDs after
they've been in the theater, before they came out on DVD,
it was a big deal.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
But yeah, they're just so quickly streaming.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
What is it like about like, you know, between sixty
and eighty dollars for for you before you even sit down.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
In the probably more than that, I mean typically, you know,
I want to say that.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I mean, I'm guessing the prices are about the same
out there for an adult ticket.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
I want to say it's you know, like twenty twenty
five bucks.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
They're like twelve or fourteen here.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
Yeah, I mean if you go to a matinee and
you don't get it because everything is an up charge. Now,
if you want that like four D where your seat's vibrating,
and you know, if you want the ones where you
lay all the way back and can take a nap
and you're you know, essentially in a bed watching it, right,
everything is you're paying.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
More for it.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
But yeah, it's usually for a good enough seat. It's
usually like twenty twenty five bucks.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Now, Percy.
Speaker 3 (06:36):
Interesting, if you want bathroom access during the film, that's
an extra ten bucks too, r just.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Alone and then you got to buy the popcorn and
you dad needs a beer and mom needs a glass
of wine and it gets it.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
It's two undred dollars outing yeah, yeah, yeah, they give
you a fob to get into the bathroom. That was
like you got to have that.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Special automatically charges to your card.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Yeah. So, so President Trump invoking Title ten, authorizing federalization
of Oregon National Guard. This is pretty interesting. And you know,
once again, of course anything the president does is considered
controversial now or what have you. But what is the
latest on this Alley.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Yeah, So a few minutes ago, Oregon filed for temporary
injunction to prevent the President from federalizing the National Guard
troops in Oregon and sending them in. And he has
now activated Title ten. So it appears that he's going
to do this. But you know, we had heard Memphis
and Chicago and those haven't happened, but he didn't get
this far of activating Title ten. So they are declaring
(07:37):
in Portland that they don't feel like that it's needed.
They're saying that by no means it's an insurrection unfolding,
which they argue is what is needed to send in
the National Guard troops to do law enforcement duties. A
lot of the arguments like what we heard in California,
but with the argument that Oregon is now filing, their
attorney general is saying.
Speaker 5 (07:58):
This, this is a long line in a pattern of
behavior to expand the executive authority. And so I think
you'll continue to see lawsuits be filed as long as
the president wants to press the bounds of our democracy.
Speaker 4 (08:13):
So in their argument, what they're focusing in on is
a ruling in California where a judge did find that
the President Trump's deployment of troops in June was illegal.
That is on hold right now while the appellate court
deals with it, and they'll likely go to the Supreme Court.
Oregon is arguing that military rule is, what they say,
incompatible with liberty and democracy. The President is saying, just
on social media is mainly where he's saying it on
(08:34):
true social over the weekend, that the military is needed
to protect federal agents in Portland. He says Portland is
war ravaged, but local leaders are claiming everything is stable.
Portland police say protests were calm and orderly on Sunday,
that two people were arrested last night when they were
in a fight. Police are claiming that they can handle
it on their own, but we'll see where it goes.
Speaker 3 (08:57):
That.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
The Oregon National Guard put out a statement saying, quote,
please remember this is still us, your neighbors and your friends.
Our job is to protect Oregonians and defend national interests
when directed as we are now. Interesting, you know, a
lot of the in California they pretty much said we'll
do what the President says. There they're saying, well, remember
we're still one of you, so don't fight us. As
they go out, But in Oregon they're waiting now they've
(09:19):
been activated or they're being activated right now, about two
hundred National Guard troops and we'll see what they end
up doing.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
So when then would roughly if this is you know,
they're getting ready to we talking days hours.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
I mean, it would seem like it's probably days, but
we really don't know. When you look at Memphis and
Chicago where everything kind of the breaks got put on,
Chicago totally, Memphis is kind of in limbo. How far
will it go as far as La went where they're
actually deployed out in the streets, Will they stay at armories,
will they actually go anywhere?
Speaker 2 (09:49):
We don't know yet.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Alec Stone, ABC News, Los Angeles, Alex, thank you so much.
