DealWithIt

TheForceuser talks about calming down and then immediately proceeds to have a meltdown because TLJ is doing so well. Flawless victory

It’s more just mind numbingly stupid right now. Fanboys hurt the movie didn’t line up with the theories they plucked from nowhere desperate for this to be a disappointment at the box office is already old and tired.

It was never going to make $800 million. Why is this shit still being said? And, once again, word of mouth is good. There is no universe in which the colossal amount of cash it’s already made is in any way, shape or form a disappointment. The absolute desperation from Luke fanboys to try and say otherwise is increasingly hilarious.

She can take care of herself and what she does in the final act makes nerds on the web mad. Hard to white knight a woman that can take care of herself. See the whining about Rey for the last two years for further evidence of this. Every single supposed problem with her can be lobbed at Luke from the OT trilogy and yet...silence when you bring up his problems. That is literally it.

Yeah...gonna go ahead and say they won’t be dumb enough to do that. Episode 8, LITERALLY the worst movie of all time according to the herd on the Internet, pulled in $220 million opening weekend. So unless you’re Sony, be smart and wait.

Well we were just given the best Star Wars movie with TLJ so he has a tough task ahead of him with 9 to be even better. Which means we probably just get ROTJ remixed and the complaints of being safe and where are the risks being taken, somehow forgetting TLJ.

Movie has great word of mouth. No matter how desperately you and others try to spin it. Looking forward to your disappearance when over the next two days alone it grosses would it did this weekend, never mind the rest of the week and then next weekend.

Star Wars is over. Disney should sell it while they can still get a few pennies for it. Maybe that George Lucas fella will give it another shot.

No it wasn’t. The desperation for meltdowns is funny though.

Disney doesn’t care what a minority of hardcore nerds on the interwebz thinks. Rave reviews and good word of mouth is what matters. And comparisons to Thor 2 are hilarious. TLJ’s opening weekend alone outgrossed the entirety of the domestic total for Thor 2.

There’s no need for this kind of stuff. Only leads to more bickering.

These DC fan tweets...*babywhatisyoudoin.gif*

Seeing somebody try to say ESB wasn’t divisive upon release is hilarious. Movie split the fandom down the middle since it was darker and apparently not what the hardcore fans wanted. Took years for it to finally be seen as the masterpiece it is. Thanks for the laugh though.

By the time the Russo bros are done with both Avengers movies, they will probably be feeling that fatigue. Not every body can be like the new GOAT Villeneuve and seemingly go from one project to the next, which is understandable. GOAT status is not easily achieved.

I will not stand for slander of the red Power Ranger. #Justice4Jason

I don’t know if it’s possible for the Guardians franchise to get even more comedic. Ah hell, why not. Fire up the hashtags. #TaikaForGOTG3

Blade Runner is top 3 for the year. Try again.

...you aren’t being serious, I hope.

All spot on. If JL even ends up “just” being decent, it’s going to be massive. People take to it like they did Wonder Woman? Game, set, match after just opening weekend. Getting to see WW again just a few months after her solo movie might also be enough to sell people.

Unless Justice League is catastrophically bad, which based on somewhat early word, it’s at worst looking to be decent, it’s clearing a billion worldwide. Wonder Woman cleared $820 million worldwide. Now add in the rest of the gang (plus Cyborg, for any fans he may have out there). It will be in the billion dollar club and probably fairly quickly.

I’m glad to see Chris Hemsworth finally has a good solo movie in the MCU. First one showed promise and had the fish out of water aspect working for it but it had plenty of room for improvement, which The Dark World totally squandered. Then he barely seemed to be in Age of Ultron until the big fight at the end. Only other time he was able to really show anything was the first Avengers movie. Kind of sad that Thor has seemed to be an afterthought in the MCU up until now.

Two more comic book movies that are going to do well regardless of reviews. Like, I’ve been in heaven with all of the quality CBM movies we have gotten going back to the start of the Nolan Batman trilogy all the way through now, but yeah, it’s hard to get EXCITED about them anymore. Go see it, have a good time and that’s that. They never really stick with me afterwards anymore, certainly not the way I’m still thinking about BR 2049. Then you see these numbers for 2049 and it’s just disheartening. Thought provoking big budget movies are indeed a dying breed. Not even trying to go in on people who didn’t like 2049 or have no interest in seeing it. Just thoroughly disappointed that like Apes a few months ago, a movie is deemed “bleak and depressing” and it goes by the wayside and flops/disappoints at the box office. Can’t help but wonder if some of the blockbusters of the 70s through the early 90s ever even get made in this day and age. Probably not.

Guess I should’ve specified I was more talking about the box office and legs. Between Apes and now BR 2049, its amazing to see longer, big budget movies that are also slower paced than you’d expect out of a 150+ million dollar movies. And one of them also being an R rated sci fi movie that’s nearly three hours long. What a time to be alive. Just hope BR has better legs than Apes did.

An A- for BR 2049. Apparently there is still hope for general audiences. Now where were you bastards for Apes!? *shakes fist*

At which point I would’ve loudly told them to get off the goddamn phone and if they go on it again, I will be getting management involved. Zero tolerance with people on a phone once the movie starts. Something is that fucking important, get up and go out in the hallway. Don’t sit there with the bright ass screen in a dark movie theater like an inconsiderate, self absorbed dickhead. Everywhere should just be like the Alamo Drafthouse and all these problems would cease to be.
