  1. What? I can't have an opinion about how much I think a film deserves to gross?

    You can have an opinion about anything you want. But it gets ridiculous when you're trying to tell everyone that a movie didn't deserve its gross. The movie gross is determined by how many people wanted to see the movie in the theater. A movie deserves the money that it makes because people decided that they wanted to see that movie.The box office isn't your personal academy awards. You don't control how other people spend their money. The box office merely reflects the choices that people made. If TA is number 3 over THG or DH2, that's because more people chose TA than those 2 movies. You can adjust for inflation to try to keep the currency equal. But beyond that, if more people chose TA then you have to accept it.

  2. Best numbers of the day - my bro who is in a ridiculously hard law school went from a 1.8 GPA (horrible beginning for him and he is super-smart ironically) to a 2.74GPA. Stunning improvement! I felt the box office crowd would appreciate these numbers.

    All law schools are hard. The crappy ones are the hardest because they try to fail out the bottom 10% of the class.

  3. Perhaps, but then one could argue the same thing for Potter - how he was "destined" to be the one based on the prediction. Still, my point stands - both characters are "everyday kids" that weren't very special until "destiny" changed their respective paths.

    I would argue the same about Potter. However, I'm not really a Potter fan and didn't love the movies, so it's not as important to me. With TASM, it's a re-interpretation of the character, who was the way you described before this reboot.
  4. That's like saying all the movies leading up to Avengers were memorable, because people went to see Avengers. Not necessarily true.

    The key difference though is that the Avengers will be getting a sequel. And with sequels, people remember the originals. How many sequels have you seen where you didn't remember the original? For me personaly, I always remember the original (except for Blade II, but that's the only time).
  5. I didn't say Marvel didn't have one but you made it sound like they were building a theme park shrine to honor the Avengers, 'to keep the memories' lmao it's all about the cash.

    No, you said Potter has a whole theme park dedicated to it. I said if you mean Islands of Adventure, that isn't true.If you had been paying attention, you would have seen that my response was to RTX who stated that both TA and HP were forgettable. I responded that TA was memorable, and the proof was that Disney will now profit from all of the memories. My response had nothing to do with HP.And it is all about the profits. However, if the movie wasn't a huge hit, there would be no profits. TA will be remembered for a long long time.
