This may be the last Peeple’s Poll for some time to come. Assuming the theaters are open at all there won’t be any new movies coming out. Everything has been pushed back — more on that in a later post.
My Spy, starring Dave Bautista, was supposed to come out this week, but it moved back to April 17th. Time will tell if it can hold on to that release date. (Washing hands and crossing fingers.)

The surprising new hit this week was The Hunt, starring Betty Gilpin, Hilary Swank, Ike Barinholtz. Most importantly, The Hunt is written by Nick Cuse, Damon Lindelof, both of whom teamed up on the TV show The Leftovers, and HBO’s The Watchmen. Going into the movie peeple gave The Hunt a 7.1 Expectation-rating — which is slightly underwhelming. But, the After-movie-rating jumped up to an 8.3. That’s a huge margin of improvement. The average margin of improvement for a movie from Expectation-rating to After-movie-rating is only 0.53. The Hunt more than doubled that.
RunPee Sis did the Peetimes for The Hunt and loved it. She gave The Hunt an A in her movie review. I’m definitely going to watch it on DVD.
What people are saying
about the RunPee app.
Brilliant idea with great information
I’ve been using RunPee for a few years now and it’s basically a requirement of going to the movies for me. The best part of course are the “pee times” that give you cues, synopses and times for when you can pee without missing the most important parts of the movie. There is also information about the credits- length, extras and if there are any extra scenes at the wayyy end. Super helpful to just know that it is or isn’t worth staying. There is a timer function that will buzz your phone when it’s a good time to pee. I also appreciate that the app is very conscientious about it being an app you use in a theater- dark background, all silent alarms etc. I will always enjoy the experience of the theater even if I could watch things at home- but I’ve even used it at home to check for things like after credit scenes or other information too.

The only other noteworthy movie this week was Bloodshot. I felt generous and gave Bloodshot a D+ in my review. It scored slightly higher in the Peeples Poll. It received a very low 6.5 Expectation-rating and a 7.1 After-movie-rating. Bad, but at least better than expectation.
Everyone stay safe out there.
Creator and developer of the RunPee app. When something doesn’t work right in the app it’s pretty much his fault. 🙂
Aspiring author. Would like to finish his “Zombie Revelations” trilogy if he could break away for working on RunPee and the cottage he’s building for RunPee Mom.
Oops!
I didn’t know ‘My Spy’ had been delayed when I saw it this morning or I would have done some timings for it! Well, if nothing new comes out soon, I might go and see it again!
Bummer, I figured it was pushed back everywhere. Oh well. Don’t fret about it. I’ll get the Peetimes when it comes out here in the USA. I don’t want to encourage you to go out. 🙂
It’s all moot anyway… all our cinemas are closed now.
Maybe we need to think up something to keep us going. Like a movie version of a book club. Pick a film, watch it buy a certain date and then chat about it.
You can tell I’m desperate to find something to do other than housework!
