    THE LAST JEDI (and Ferdinand) WEEKEND THREAD | JEDI 220m, FERDINAND 13.3m, COCO 10m (official estimates) | ABSOLUTELY NO SPOILERS ALLOWED | SALE ON GOLD & PREMIUM ACCOUNTS IN FIRST POST

    Quick thoughts:

     

    -Star Wars did absolutely phenomenal. It dropped only about 11% or so from TFA, which is even more impressive, and will likely lead to Avatar numbers, and it really shows just how much of a monster Star Wars really is, and it'll be interesting to see what Solo will do in arguably the most competitive road the Disney SW have had to face.

     

    -Ferdinand was somewhat disappointing. It will probably leg its way to Road Chip numbers, but I feel it would have done much better on a different weekend. Why put an animated movie up against Star Wars, a massive family brand, in the first place? I feel if it was moved to Christmas weekend, or even its original July date, or even an early November date, it would have had a much better chance at crossing $100M.

     

    -Coco dropping only 45%, possibly lower due to the film's Sunday drops (bless you, Hispanic audiences) is awesome. Hopefully Jumanji doesn't hurt it, and it can get to Moana numbers (or BH6 is fine)

     

    -The Oscar expanders did rather well...except for Wonder Wheel of course.

    Finally done!

     

    Spoiler

    I appreciate the end message that Michael Shannon is a beautiful and wonderful man. I strongly agree with that sentiment. Also, I hate that the newscaster keeps using a stereotypical Hispanic voice whenever she says her last name.

     

    Final thoughts: It had potential to be unbelievable, and it's apparent in the first half hour and that one iconic scene in the middle of the woods (y'all know what I'm talking about). But when Thomas Lennon shows up, it quickly goes downhill, and a lot of the cracks start to become more noticeable, especially the cinematography and editing. Could've been an ironic masterpiece, but instead, it's just a dull but dumb comedy.

     

    Spoiler

    Honestly, the furry subplot is the only thing that makes the movie entertaining. I feel the movie would be way better if it just focused on Hendricks and her story, as well as the crazy characters in the furry group with only a little dash of the Lennon stuff. Basically I want Pottersville 1 1/2.

    20 minutes left of the movie

    Thank God we're back to the furries. Honestly, I think the movie would be so much better if it focused on that, or at least had it play a big part. It's so bizarre, but it kinda works, and it gives the film a lot more personality. Better yet, just focus on Shannon and Greer's relationship, add in some Hallmark schamltz, and you would have a glorious mess of a film. But with Thomas Lennon, it's just...ech.

    Sorry to say, but I feel Thomas Lennon isn't that funny in this. There are one or two weird WTF moments with him so far, especially since he has an Australian accent, but most of the time his jokes go on for way too long and feel overstretched that it's hard to laugh at how ridiculous he is.

    So Ron Perlman is the sheriff of the town? Fucking Ron Perlman is a furry sheriff. I...I...what? Also, we get to the montage where the town gets all Bigfoot crazy and tourist trappy, and not only is there a scene of the furry club jamming and having drinks with one another (how they drink it without taking off the heads I have no idea), but there's a scene in the middle of the montage, where ShannonFoot is walking in front of a family putting up their Christmas tree, the kid spots him, and says "Merry Christmas, Bigfoot," and Shannon replies with a roar. The thing that bothers me the most is that the kid and the parents see Shannon in this shitty-ass costume, meaning at the very least some people have seen what he looks like up close, but no one in this dumb-ass town realizes, "Huh, this Bigfoot looks like a guy in a shitty costume." Why are people still thinking that he exists?

     

    Better yet, what does this have to do with Christmas? The only Christmas-y thing is like one or two scenes of a tree, some Christmas songs, and the name of the town being the name from the alternate timeline in It's a Wonderful Life. Why make this a Christmas movie...WHY?!

     

    Also, Thomas Lennon is in this and has an Australian accent.

    Pottersville 15 minutes in

     

    Spoiler

    So drunk Michael Shannon is so depressed his wife left him for furry Ron Perlman, and in his drunken stupor, he takes some weird hairy suit thing from the general store he works at, puts on a gorilla mask, and is now leaving the general store. I knew Bigfoot played a part, but I'm glad the furry element was a surprise.

    Spoiler

    And now, Shannon is awake, and there's a news report on some old black and white TV that's about 15 inches big. I'd understand why if this was a period piece, but this movie has furries, who according to Wikipedia originated in the 1980s and gained popularity in the 2000s and onwards. Why does the general store own a rinky-dinky TV from like the 70s? I don't get it!

    Spoiler

    They just showed a scene, where Michael Shannon is drinking from a water fountain while in the Bigfoot costume, but it's from one of those fountains that have a sculpture of a kid with his penis out, and the water is being squirted from the penis, so Michael Shannon is more or less getting a golden shower from a little boy statue. WHAT

    Michael Shannon's performance as a drunk deserves way more accolades than his Shape of Water performance tbh

    Used spoiler tags so Han doesn't miss the juicy stuff.

    I won't see Star Wars until tomorrow, so why not take the time and see the new Christmas classic that landed on Netflix today?

    Spoiler

    So I'm 10 minutes in, and I just saw a scene where Michael Shannon walks into his bedroom, and sees his wife, played by Christina Hendricks, in a bunny fursuit, and Ron Perlman, in a wolf fursuit (for some reason Michael Shannon keeps saying he's a squirrel), and both of them admit they're part of a furry club...this is gonna be a great movie.

    :winomg:I have never said that people secrectly agrees with me even if they claim otherwise. I just stated the fact that many users is reading this topic but many of them didn't share their opinion. If they enjoyed it why they don't write this?

    Umm...because many of us haven't seen it? (I'm one of them)
