  3. nice! movies should be treated like hamburgers IMO! one thing i expect us to not like about movies is the characters don't know they are in the movie
  4. did they have the 'for sure' final destination of United 93? i remember alot were asking that the day of. ...if there were spies investigating us within the Patriot Act, whose side were they on? i feel worse for the American oil business people than i do the President himself, lol does this mean we have power over them in America? lol, imagine if Natalie Portman post 9/11 in high schools was an invasion of the anti-Star Wars wrath and the 'extinguisher' in regular culture.
  5. Summer 2001 Predictions Week 1 The Mummy Returns – The Mummy 2 takes 60M OW joining The Phantom Menace and The Lost World. Record opening weekend 10% over still fresh Hannibal (58m), 10% over X-Men (55m), The Grinch (55m), 50% over The Mummy (43m). The special effects look to be the epitome of X-Men, Phantom Menace, Mission Impossible 2, and Gladiator. The Mummy and The Matrix created dvd foundation underneath The Phantom Menace. Now 2 years later, The Mummy Returns is the answer to the home video market with the most realistic CGI scenes from an epic sci-fi adventure. This is the next invasion of cinema. Pearl Harbor is considered competition with Titanic’s record, and the lopsided forecast would have Pearl Harbor coasting in around 2000’s Cast Away’s (234m) or the tiring cume of other recent competitive lethargic blockbusters with 2000’s Hannibal (160m), What Women Want and The Perfect Storm’s (183m). The Mummy Returns – 60m+ OW / 225m Domestic - (200-300m) Week 2 A Knight’s Tale – an unexpected 3,000 theaters is given to hype up the rock n’roll metal action tale that is rocking out TVs with advertisements. If this release is driven with more epic battles than Gladiator, then it should play through competition for the solid 2-month run and into summer’s top ten. – 20+ OW / 75m Domestic – (75-150) Week 3 Shrek – Third weekend of summer, Shrek is the upside-down CGI fairy tale emerging from thin air with an all-star voice cast. Last year had groundbreaking CGI movie Dinosaur open with a mini-38m record, will Shrek be able to outpace last year’s calendar record? A Knight’s Tale, The Mummy Returns, and Pearl Harbor bring new eye candy, and Shrek is the PG-friendly CGI alternative. – 40+ OW / 160m Domestic Week 4 Pearl Harbor – The commercials have this bringing the drama of Saving Private Ryan with an eventful soundtrack. Forecasters recognize this with Titanic and the hope of Pearl Harbor turning into an event film. The Mummy Returns turned out to be an average sequel and crashed it’s way over The Lost World’s all time opening weekend record. The hype feels like anything short of 65m OW & 90m 4-day Memorial day will mean that 400m+ domestic will require Academy Awards WOM. – 65+ OW / 350 domestic Week 5 The Animal – The fifth weekend of the summer has the dumb comedy waiting to prevail so take a deep breath, calm down, and root for it to be better than Little Nicky and at least cause a laugh riot to devour into Shrek’s records. – 22M OW 70m domestic What’s the Worst That Could Happen? – Martin Lawrence is a box office face with 1999’s Life opening at #1 between The Matrix and The Mummy, then 1999’s Blue Streak opening at #1 the weekend after Stigmata, and then last June’s 2000 Big Momma’s House securing 26m/118m domestic as a romantic comedy with brief goofy action. Danny Devito looks ready to tackle Martin Lawrence after last year’s flop Drowning Mona. Last June had Big Momma’s House, Shanghai Noon, Gone in 60 Seconds, Mission Impossible II, and Shaft leading the action comedy charge. Now The Animal and What’s the Worst That Could Happen should be excellent entertainment to lead at the summer box office in front of A Knight’s Tale’s disappointing numbers after 4 weekends. – 20m OW / 70 domestic Week 6 Swordfish leads the sixth weekend of summer into June. The $102 million budget on Swordfish in the deficit of John Travolta’s Battlefield Earth will give him the majority of the internet’s clicks with online controversy as his presence could potentially destroy this risky hiatus shoot em’ up flick with fans standing up the film as a political statement. Swordish looks to be a techno-action thriller that might dip into action science fiction and will hopefully drive faster than Gone in 60 Seconds. – 24m OW / 85 domestic Evolution – Early teasers made it seem like an action sci-fi romp. David Duchovny from 1998’s The X-Files and riding 2000’s Return to Me is sweet casting with the Ghostbusters director and Stifler from American Pie and the disappointing box office of Road Trip from last year. The $80 million picture sure looks to be like the one to believe in, planting it’s flag as an alien invasion teaser for us to embrace. The world’s audiences coughed out Pearl Harbor. Evolution > Mummy Returns in June? - 29m OW / 90 domestic Week 7 Lara Croft: Tomb Raider – 7th weekend of summer, middle of June, Tomb Raider - how much? The budget is $115 million which is tidy with bad reviews and 100-minute runtime. If this is supposed to drag Godzilla by its tail at the box office, what kind of treat are we getting with this adaptation? This should match Batman Forever and Mission Impossible 2. Atlantis is opening as competition and is supposed to be from another world too - 60m OW / 150 domestic Atlantis: The Lost Empire – Disney 2D animation shows off new colors after Tarzan (1999) and Titan A.E. (2000). The slow journey to 100m of Hunchback of Notre Dame, Hercules, and Mulan will make Atlantis a box office playoff nail-biter. It is budgeted at $120 million and people will once again need to show up and cover for this for Disney to afford to go deeper with the animation and stray away from the remakes. – 25m OW / 125 domestic. (beware of Tomb Raider) Week 8 The Fast and the Furious – the newest soundtrack, further car chases and driving moments outperforming Exit Wounds, a staple into California beach summer. Gone in 60 Seconds flirted with greatness, The Fast and the Furious should slip between places not seen before. The $38 million budget makes the action stakes feel cautiously optimistic, but Exit Wounds was $50 million and The Fast and the Furious is already promising higher action. – 42m OW / 120 domestic Dr. Dolittle 2 – the CGI talking animals should push new extremes as Academy Awards visual effects nominations have recently moved through Mighty Joe Young, Stuart Little and Hollow Man. Nutty Professor 2 and Shrek blinked up to heights past 42m OW, and maybe Eddie Murphy had magic up his sleeves. What will keep this box office consistency from failing? If it falls, there goes Eddie Murphy’s record chart run. I sense danger. – 30m OW / 120 domestic Week 9 A.I. Artificial Intelligence – the next E.T. becomes the next most anticipated movie in release. Heavy makeup and deep visuals decorated the next sci-fi innovation and previewed footage seemed to hide most of the mystery of the film. A.I. is positioned to be a mass alternative diverting from Pearl Harbor and sucking in the teddy bear audience. 50m OW / 175 domestic Week 10 Fourth of July 5-day (Wed-Sun) brings Scary Movie 2, Cats and Dogs, and Kiss of the Dragon. Scary Movie 2 – what will not continue to be fresh with this one? Scary Movie shattered 42m OW in 2000. This is like Doom 2. 35m OW/55m 5-day / 135 domestic Cats and Dogs – the animation looks to make fluff ooze out the screen with Jeff Golblum cementing one-liners into the archives. It’s new, so please make as much as you can. 30m OW/45 5-day / 115 domestic Kiss of the Dragon – Jet Li, Bridget Fonda, ground-based wire fu that should outduel The Matrix. 3-day opening in the 4th of July summer against ^ these two new openers. 19m OW/ 60 domestic Week 11 The skies the limit for Final Fantasy. Scary Movie 2 should heat up society to new levels, Jeff Golblum will be riding to 100 million. Final Fantasy – the CGI tentacles look to wrap around Godzilla and appear through Tomb Raider’s machines. $137 million budget suggests a sequel could come with sharing from another studio. But Final Fantasy is just to niche compared to Tomb Raider. Skeptics will hope it opens like Wild Wild West and lights up dark sewers in glowing sci-fi adventure. 25 OW/ 40m 5-day / 100m domestic The Score – Robert De Niro is back again with a tasteful Edward Norton directed by Frank Oz who everyone wants. From what we’ve seen with Ronin approaching 100m and then Analyze This and Meet the parents exceeding it, The Score is a mediocre heist thriller testing the 100m record with superstars, but it just won’t end up making that much! These movies are suspenseful and sometimes boring. 20 OW/ 80 domestic Legally Blonde – Bring it On! #’s are back at the box office and this will surely make it’s dent. I expect everyone to enjoy every inch of it. 20m OW/ 60 domestic Week 12 America’s Sweethearts – Billy Crystal breaks the current walls of movie casting by subbing in from Oscar host to America’s Sweethearts. It is a pair up with the admission-ticket oozing Julia Roberts sleepwalking from occupying $35 million in ticket sales from 1999’s Runaway Bride. Erin Brockovich won the Academy Award and it was a triple crown with Notting Hill hitting past 100m too. This is assuredly stamped as a $100m film and is going to absorb a lot opening against Jurassic Park 3. 30 OW/ 105 domestic Jurassic Park 3 – The Lost World didn’t uncover much, neither did Batman and Robin. The Matrix, The Mummy, and The Phantom Menace brought new worlds to DVD. X-Men was a rough cut. Hannibal tested earlier in the year, The Mummy Returns, A.I., and Pearl Harbor settled as ordinary blockbusters. Indiana Jones 4 will never happen. Jurassic Park 3 is going to bring in new dinosaurs and be a different test from the two novels of the islands. Debuting on Wednesday makes a 30m record breaking opening day seem like lost hope. 25+15 Wed and Thurs seem probably with another 60 over the 3-day. 60 Ow/100 – 250 domestic Week 13 Planet of the Apes – dinosaurs invade the movies and the marching of the apes has taken over the TV as they march to movie breaking glory. This sci-fi classic remake is packaged with an explosive $100 million price tag, front-line battle stakes, and it is hawked right in position for anyone disappointed with the dinosaurs. 60 OW/ 175 domestic Week 14 Rush Hour 2 – this fire smacker answers the call of the binge entertainment the first one created. Rush Hour 2 is opening itself in a privileged spot on the backend of the summer balancing the biggest franchises within the technological restraint. 45 OW/ 150 domestic. The Princess Diaries – Disney G-rated fairy tale with Julie Andrews screams fright at the box office. Make room as potentially 100m could be scooped away from people trying to become Planet of the Apes-literate. 20 OW/ 95 domestic. Original Sin – special mention *Antonio Banderas returns after flopping as the action hero in The 13th Warrior. He is answered with Angelina Jolie from Tomb Raider. I expect good things from this. 11 OW/ 45 domestic Week 15 American Pie 2 – Summer rides out on the highest wave possible as the intolerable American Pie from the controversial 1999 Summer of IDing teenagers trying to see American Pie and South Park comes back with Scary Movie, Scary Movie 2 and American Pie 2 setting up to be an R-rated sex/nudity record breaker. Bombs away! 50 OW/ 150 domestic The Others – ghost horror movie with Nicole Kidman. Haunted houses are in demand but are slowly served to audiences. New haunted house supernatural horrors mean more of these movies which is always on the side of progress with waking people up. 15 OW/ 60 domestic Osmosis Jones – animated/live-action action comedy with Bill Murray and 75 million budget? How is this going to SUCCEEEED????? 12 OW/ 45 domestic Week 16 Captain Corelli’s Mandolin – alternative foreign-looking WW2 action instrumental with Nicolas Cage likely getting $20 million paycheck. Budget is $57, WW2 movies slowly roll down the conveyer belt in disappointing variety. 15 OW/ 50 domestic Rat Race – the guy jumping in the bullet train with that gag sells it. With an older cast, I expect it to slightly do better then the Teenie-sleepers. 15 OW/ 60 domestic American Outlaws – the shootouts with the metal soundtrack should make some scenes heavy and stand out from previous stunts, but this movie looks stupid, and is clicked in to blow. 12 OW/ 45 domestic Week 17 Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back – whatever it is, it’s coming. You don’t know why it beats South Park, Scary Movie 2, and American Pie 2. You thought Deuce Bigalow offered enough wall breaking to be a full-length Eminem video? Well throw in some more Star Wars. 25 OW/ 85 domestic Summer Catch – special mention. Freddie Prinze has been coasting. The extra effort with the baseball team is appreciated and I’m sure enough will trek out to put the final cume shining up with 40m. 12 OW/ 40 *fingers crossed* John Carpenter’s Ghosts of Mars – here is the dark horse. Ice Cube punches Natasha Henstridge in the face in the trailer and says mother fucker causing reactions that this is heading towards stupid. Again, all you can do is show up and pay. 10 OW/ 25 domestic Week 18 Jeepers Creepers – a Labor Day box office movie made for you. There was Spawn, Mortal Kombat, Blade, and The Crow. Jeepers Creepers looks to be the Spawn in Mortal Kombat in the middle of nowhere eating people. 20 OW/ 60 domestic Week 19 The Musketeer – wire fu better get it right this time, but this will probably be boring expensive bullshit action piece that is supposed to be blowing peoples minds but instead is a lousy fuck up of a lengthy romance darling play. It wouldn't venture into Highlander: Endgame territory and its ranking amongst most anticipated on upcomingmovies.com nor should it rival 13th Warrior and a swashbuckling swordsman. (or Cuthroat Island) Still, The Musketeer looks hot off the grill and hopes to fly over The Matrix. Hopefully Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings will summon 10x the audience of Star Wars. 20 OW/ 60 domestic Top 30 Predictions

  7. like what? it's funny. i have no idea what you are asking... do you smoke weed? (maybe its better to type then talk into a computer and have it translate to words)
  8. did DiCaprio's poor test response from the Titanic fallout in Feb 1998 hurt his decision to be cast in The Phantom Menace? NSYNC sure stoked up the haters
  9. Ivanka and Tiffany are having a seance with Emma Watson and friends listening to "We can't stop" by Miley Cyrus when Trump pokes his head around the corner and says "hey sorry! am i late to the party?"
  10. sure i do, but you are not going to get it there. my research sucks, but i don't feel well.
  11. when you pay big $ to go to a 12-step drug rehab, watch out for the tattlers. i've been warned. like i've said before, expect nothing from the group classes. https://aeon.co/essays/knowledge-is-a-stone-age-concept-were-better-off-without-it?utm_source=pocket-newtab
