  1. I like some of the things i'm hearing and i'm looking forward to it, even though the cast gives me pause. They look like actors from Beverly Hills 90210.
  2. Big fan of the movie but can't say i loved the score to be honest. While it was successful in creating an otherwordly musical soundscape, it just lacked that majestic theme, you know, which gives you goosebumps when you hear it and is an integral part of any good epic. In that sense, i hope Villeneuve is correct and the score in Part 2 is superior. Never watched the TV adaptation of Children of Dune but the score is pretty ace...
  3. Probably die hard fans. Question is, will it spillover to the average Joe. I have seen couple times where people jumped the gun only for presales to slow down.
  4. Are there any tangible indications for a big jump in box office or are we talking about a gut feeling? I'd love for some of those predictions to come true, just don't want to get too excited only to be disappointed in the end.
  5. Don't know what "prores" actually means but here you can find downloadable versions with much better picture quality than on youtube. Trailer 8 should be the official 3rd trailer.
  6. I would word it differently. If a movie isn't as well reviewed as Oppenheimer or Spiderverse, it sucks.
  7. It doesn't need to be. Man, i hate it how people pick out one "not-so-great-but-still-okay" review and start concern trolling. The internet has destroyed all the fun.
  8. First time i witnessed the trailer i knew this is gonna be good...
  9. I have a bad feeling about this game. Ubisoft seems very cagey in terms of sharing uninterupted gameplay of someone playing the game. It's all carefuly curated footage. Bad sign. Plus there were rumors about the state of the game.
  10. Some might use the words "inspired by". Why the demeanor, did Gareth Edwards poop on your yard?
  11. It's less desperation and more just the thing you do if you are not part of a big IP to build awareness.
  12. Now there are two girls instead of one. Double the fun! EDIT: Retrospectively that sounded kind of kinky, which was not my intention, i swear!
  13. Nobody is denying that it is probably losing money. "Probably" because nobody has insight into accounting books and budget figures are not publicly available.
  14. These budget figures need to be taken with a big grain of salt. Depending on where you look, different numbers get reported. And people take the ones that fit their narrative best.
  15. This is not one of the biggest bombs of all times. You are being ridiculous. It's not gonna gross much less than Dune and that one got a sequel, with much more of the gross coming from the US. I imagine it will do nicely on VOD and home video and eventually make back much of its expenses. Nevertheless, a rather big disappointment gross wise.
  16. Yeah, don't get the "this looks small" comment at all. If nothing else it will "look" great and have these sprawling practical battle scenes Ridley Scott is known for.
  17. Oh i'm not writing the movie off. Just not a fan of the trailer. I'm a sucker for these movies, i'm gonna be there, for sure.
  18. MI3 is definitely one of the best in the franchise, i think, for reasons already mentioned (high stakes, villain etc). It's difficult for me to keep them apart coz there are that many and it's a while since i've seen them but as far as i remember Ghost Protocol - that seems to be so revered here - was kind of a slog.
  19. How about: if you go for it, make it good? I don't know what you are referring to btw, i still haven't watched the latest Bonds. Speaks for my passion for the franchise, i guess. But i don't want to limit it to just "sad drama", these franchises just don't stir anything in me. I watch them, i acknowledge the cool stunts but that's pretty much the extent of it.
