Really? You think Mike B Jordan didn't get the Human Torch because he's an incredible talent? That's an artistic decision. Elba is one of the best actors working today, that's an artistic decision. Denzel Washington is one of the best actors of all-time- you're telling me it's not a smart artistic decision to cast him as, say, Lex Luthor, or something?

Michael B Jordan is the best under-30 actor with a chance of making it really big soon. Incredible talent. Not a big fan of Rocky but apparently this is Coogler/Jordan's passion project so I have faith it will surprise me.

So name bet 30 days Avengers 2 O/U 650?

I'm not betting WW or OW, I feel like it will increase there due to a number of reasons. But it ain't hitting 623 again.

Alright, Avengers 2 DOM O/U Avengers 1. What you wanna put up, BKB?

I gotcha!

Huh? I don't know what this means, sad to say.

She existed, but she really served no other purpose to the plot or any of the movie's themes. The point is that she was clearly treated as an object in one very prominent scene- one that was in every commercial- in a way that added nothing to the movie.

There is a clear difference between sexuality and objectification/exploitation. Plenty of feminists, especially in the third wave, are supporters of sex-positive imagery in media- the ability for women to be sexual, open, and exposed WITHOUT being exploited in doing so. So there's plenty of feminist/progressive support for women showing skin in movies/ads/TV. The difference is that something like Alice Eve is not a sex-positive moment where the woman's sexuality plays an important role to the plot- it's literally just a woman stripping to have a woman strip. Even the women's bodies in Fast are, while objectified, fit to the tone of the movie and portrayed in an energetic, sex-not quite positive but certainly not STID bad. Like Numbers said, the Eve stuff was as cold and calculated as it gets, serving no purpose to either the story or the tone of the movie. It literally treats a woman as if she is an object, considering she does nothing else in the movie.

He might not be a big "movie star" in terms of draw power, but the guy is a fucking incredible actor, and that's what matters.

My quest to finally see a movie in a completely empty theater may come true today- based on that Child 44 number, I might be the only person in America to go see it. Gotta support the Hardy, people!

Show is great so far. Hope it continues on through the whole season and the start isn't just..................................................................................... ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ....................................................................................................................................................blind luck.

Dude was in Prince of Persia. Nothing is below him.

What about other territories? I just think the idea of a Fast and Furious movie being top five all-time is amazingly awesome.

So does Fast Seven look likely to beat Potter worldwide and become the number four film ever? I'm not great with international numbers. Seems like an additional 541 million wouldn't be TOO hard if it does 100 more domestic (at least).

Any movie that stops the music and takes massive dramatic pauses before Vin Diesel delivers a one-liner multiple times one movie has clearly weaponized stupidity into a self-aware, tongue-in-cheek blast. Transformers is constructed with every ounce of its fiber to be a legitimate movie and not a tongue-in-cheek ride. Fast is the Colbert Report to Transformers O'Reilly Factor.

Because one is completely self-aware and features actual characters with chemistry, and the other isn't?

That's actually better than I expect. As much as I love The Rudd, between the trailer and the director/writer shit, I kinda think that shit is gonna turn out pretty awful.

Yea, I think people are really underestimating JW. Ant-Man.....nah, mayne.

Those predictions are WAYYYY too low on San Andreas, IMO

Shawn only predicted 90 million for Mad Max? Don't tell Tele, or else we might get a BOF coup d'etat.

The more stupid and implausible it got, the more I enjoyed it (minus the beautiful ending). That's what I watch these movies for- the same reasons I watch wrestling. It's all about being insane and cheesy and ridiculous. Vin Diesel got hit in the head with a wrench and got right back up- and I LOVED it. I love that these characters don't bleed, yet somehow there's still emotion and stakes behind them. It's like a snarky self-aware adult is pretending to be a little kid playing with action figures who is pretending to be a snarky self-aware adult! It's genius, man. That's the fun of it. 9/10

It's not really like Damon's storyline in Interstellar at all. Part of the reason it's such a compelling book is that Damon's character is of such good-humor and cheer throughout it- it's a survival story, not an isolation one. I hope Damon brings back some of the everyman charm he's so good at but has lacked recently.

Saying prayers for this movie once again- the book is exceptional, so I'm begging Ridley Scott and team not to blow it. The cast is certainly a good sign.

It just looks so formulaic- same exact thing as the last one, with less originality in the humor. But again, I really hope I'm wrong. Also, August is stacked this year....minus my birthday weekend, where I'm stuck with Sinister 2. End of August is always so crap.
