#20 - thanks to alita_berserker from Reddit for pointing out this video posted by agartha01
Someone on Reddit suggest I post to share this with everyone. I was reluctant at first because this Alita page is still a work in progress. But then I think again, might as well share as I built it... along the way with suggestions, comments, etc.
I recently installed SSL to beef up security (https as oppose to http) and I added auto redirect if someone typed http without the 's'.
I like to gather and tally the people who have seen the movies multiple times. I recently did a search on YouTube how many times have you seen Alita?, I was surprised so many have watched it more than 10 times, some even more than 20 times... one guy said he had proof he saw it 31 times... then another claimed 43 but I asked for proof so people just doesn't arbitrary call out a number. anyways, it's not a competition, it's about the quality of your understanding of the film and its many implications in and out of our lives.
I watched it 6 times with people, I paid all expenses, 3 times before it was released on Valentine's Day 02/14/19, twice on IMAX 3D.
1.) Alita: Battle Angel (2019) 02/04/19 09:40pm @ UA Cinemas BEA IMAX 3D - Hong Kong
2.) Alita: Battle Angel (2019) 02/06/19 04:50pm @ Showtime Cinemas - Taipei, Taiwan.
3.) Alita: Battle Angel (2019) 02/09/19 09:10pm @ Miramar Royal Cinemas - Taipei, Taiwan.
4.) Alita: Battle Angel (2019) 02/19/19 12:30pm @ IMAX 3D Irvine Spectrum - Irvine, CA (Los Angeles)
5.) Alita: Battle Angel (2019) 03/18/19 03:35pm @ Brea 12 East - Brea, CA (Los Angeles)
6.) Alita: Battle Angel (2019) 03/20/19 02:35pm @ Starlight City Cinema - Anaheim Hills, CA (Los Angeles)
Couple of days ago, I was blown away by someone claiming to have watched Alita 31 times, then 43 and today 60! So please submit your ticket purchases to the following email and I'll setup a special page to track them. Let's show Robert Rodriguez and James Cameron we want a sequel!!
So how many times have you watched Alita?
Cheers!
