The Wild Eric

American Pie would be intersting. I'm pretty sure most insiders thought it wouldn't be the sleeper hit it was and I'm pretty sure it was the biggest high school movie since the John Hughes era.

Hot take: Oscar bait is a really stupid name people use to denounce otherwise decent-to-great dramas or biopics in an attempt to sound above films made for "snooty elites," and I hate how it's used as a pejorative term, as if making a good movie that appeals to Academy voters and gives good directors and actors a chance to tell compelling and important stories is somehow a bad thing.

Black Panther: $320M Aquaman: $305M Grinch: $280M Mary Poppins Returns: $245M Ready Player One: $210M Wrinkle in Time: $170M New Mutants: $130M Alita: $125M Rampage: $120M Meg: $100M Mortal Engines: $60M

Also of note animation-wise, 1998 was the first year where non-Disney animated films became blockbusters, with both The Rugrats Movie and The Prince of Egypt grossing over $100M in the domestic box office. The success of both signaled animated movies could be successful without having the name of the most popular animation brand and helped usher in a new wave of animated movies. While Rugrats really only spawned a brief trend of animated features based on popular TV cartoons, like The Powerpuff Girls and Spongebob, Prince of Egypt helped put Dreamworks Animation on the map, a studio that later created an absolutely incredible hit streak of movies and in a way created every other non-Disney animation studio that's still running today. Without these movies, animation probably wouldn't be such the big moneymaker it is today, making Rugrats and Egypt low-key some of the most important works in animation history.

Honestly, I don't even wanna watch this trailer. The 1 minute I got at Dunkirk gave me plenty to chew on, and I don't want the good stuff to be spoiled.

Loving Vincent just recently got its release date, and I think there's the possibility of that film sneaking in.

So I just saw Dunkirk with the footage trailer. Pretty cool stuff, especially with the whole rising tension and rising voices in the first half with the calm J-Law.

http://deadline.com/2017/08/paramounts-amusement-park-relocates-to-summer-2018-1201895049/ Delayed yet again to March 15, 2019, merely a week before its original release date. @That Floating Guy, we could possibly get the spiritual successor to Monster Trucks.

We all know the real winner tho.

C'mon now.

Pretty sure he was championing a bunch of other movies against Wonder Woman during the beginning of its run.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/disneys-live-action-aladdin-finds-jafar-1026545 Marwan Kenzari (Murder on the Orient Express) is in negotiations to play Jafar. Nasim Pedrad is playing a new character named Mara, a handmaiden to Jasmine.

I'm pretty sure the Disney's live-action Winnie the Pooh movie thread and the biopic Goodbye Christopher Robin thread got merged. Can you fix this up mods?

I guess I kinda see where you're coming from. I'm still not completely gung-ho, but I might be a little bit premature on what I'm saying.

Yeah, that's the one thing that bothers me about the movie. I don't know the age of consent in other countries, but it still makes me slightly uncomfortable to see a movie with a teen and an adult in a relationship. I prefer Hammer to Shia, but at least he looks like a 24-year old and would make the movie a little less creepy than 28-year old Hammer, who looks like he's in his 30s.

There's actually a very interesting thread made a couple of years back that was all about what a Titanic thread would probably be like. It's a long read, but an enjoyable one. As for the movie, I feel bad to admit I only saw it last year, but I was surprised by how well it holds up. Most of it definitely comes down to the characters, but even the visuals themselves are still something to behold, even years later.

WHY IS THIS THE MOVIE GIVING OUT THE MOST DISCOURSE ON THESE FORUMS

1997 was the year I was born, so I am pretty excited to see all of the highlights from that year.

Also, the film has been pushed up a week to October 27, still in limited.
