When it comes to science fiction mumbo jumbo in movies, it's just best to smile and nod and let it happen.

Should have never doubted Mickey's Law. How foolish of me.

I can PM you if you would like to join.

I've liked all of M. Night's movies from Split onwards, but that's his last movie that really landed with the GA. I don't think it's a big reason, but the badwill from his last couple movies probably didn't help. The reviews for Trap also aren't all that, so that makes it even worse for fence-sitters.

So like...I kinda get the casting decision. But honestly, I'd be curious of the box office in an alternate world where Harold and the Purple Crayon starred an actual child and had Zachary Levi as the dad or uncle or something. Because to quote The Fairly Oddparents, when a little kid is using his imagination to draw stuff with a purple crayon, it's kind of cute. When a grown adult does it, it's just plain creepy.

https://deadline.com/2024/08/box-office-deadpool-wolverine-second-weekend-trap-1236030041/ 6.6M Friday for Trap. Should reach mid-teens. Pity. But I'm doing my part later today!

Gonna get around 627M by the end of the weekend. So yeah, 650M is happening. Jurassic World found dead in a ditch.

He's talking about me. I'm the moderator. And you know what? He's right. I do give out most of the warning points. And sometimes, I can be harsh with that stuff. I've been told that a lot. But somebody has to do it. And I'm just trying to do what I think is best for the forum. Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong. But I feel my warnings are pretty fair 98% of the time. And for the most part, they seem to be working. Besides, a 2-point warning that only lasts a month is pretty light all things considered. A slap on the wrist. Something you can quickly learn and quickly change just like that. And most of the time, people learn from my warnings and don't cause any trouble. Good thing we got the "10 points and you're out" system in place, where people can be given multiple chances to learn. And don't worry LMD, you're allowed to call me out directly. Prefer if you just did it privately, which you did literally yesterday, but you can say my name. I'm not above anybody. I have thick skin. I don't ban people the second somebody criticizes me, like you're pretending I do. And hey! If you bring up a good and valid point, I'll listen and internalize it. Frankly, I've been hit with way more insulting rhetoric than being called "the mod who hands out all the warnings". You're good hon.

Discuss

It's been 20 years hon. It's time to move on.

I still wish I could have been there in the recording studio. Why did they get Tom Kenny, the whitest man on the planet, and have him act all “street?” Why must you be like this Michael. Why?

Btw, the guy voicing Mussolini is the same guy who voices SpongeBob. What a resume

I think the Planet of the Apes movies from the 70s deserve a watch too. They are low budget, but have a lot of charms and great political and social intrigue despite their low budgets. Nobody talks about them sadly, but they were very fun to look into.

I’ve been pushing that his new era of movies have been some of his best for a while now. Old and Glass and Split and Cabin have all excelled as some of his most creative and emotionally resonant movies yet. Really, of his post-blockbuster era, The Visit is the only one of his I’ve hated, though that is in large part because I think he did a crummy job re: the whole found footage angle. Not sure what the point was (well, outside of keeping costs down)

Are!’t those the dudes who spent like 12 hours ranting about some YouTuber’s negative Joker review that lasted like…a half hour? Not sure if that is something to be proud of, mate.

Half-expecting by the end of next year that Levi will star in some generic network cop show that nobody under the age of 50 will watch, but will somehow last 7 seasons. Or a Peacock show that gets canceled in two. Of course, he's guaranteed within the next 7 years to star as Chuck in a Super Bowl commercial for like...TurboTax or something.

Moved it to the Speakeasy thread earlier today by accident. It has returned to the main thread. Sorry about that!

Good memes came from that imo

Moderation Yeah, we're done with this whole argument right here. @ZattMurdock @MysteryMovieMogul you were clearly trying to start a fight with your accusations, and it's not something we need. Please move on to something else, or thread bans will come your way.

This also applies to furry stuff like Zootopia btw. Wish to this day that Nick Wilde was my husband.

Whichever ones have hot people in them.
