I'm Shape of Water. Ironic, considering I'm about to see it in an hour.

Isn't Amy like 12?

Winchester 19 1408 1.35% Fifty Shades 591 1921 30.77% Black Panther 2254 3808 59.19% Winchester barely added tickets from Thursday and Friday. Still nothing from Saturday or Sunday. Panther got one or two more sold-out shows.

Be at work for the first half of the game and pray I don't miss anything exciting when I get back home.

Also, is it bad that I'm weirdly hyped for this?

Told y'all you were being way too overconfident on this.

I think I might be able to go as well. Well, depending on how big my school workload is.

I only prefer digital media, because I'm a clumsy oaf who's not good at taking care of things, and digital gives me a perfect excuse to not better myself. Though in all seriousness, physical books are much better and more preferred by me. With movies, I really don't care about aspect ratio or letterboxing or whatever the h*ck film nerds talk about.

Winchester 13 1408 0.92% Fifty Shades 572 1921 29.78% Black Panther 2046 3808 53.73% Black Panther just recently doubled its showtimes, and it's still trucking along. Shades is still doing well. Winchester just started selling tickets today, so it's too hard to say anything yet, although it should be noted Thurday and Friday are the only days with sold tickets.

And I thought Election Year was #Topical

Isle of Dogs. Runners up in no particular order: Red Sparrow, Wrinkle in Time, Love, Simon, RPO, Death of Stalin, and Uprising, if only for Boyega, Day, and the trailer music.

I had a super weird dream last night. So I went to a showing of Sherlock Gnomes at 12:30 on Friday (Don't ask why that movie), and yet the whole theater was packed, with babies, kids, teens, and adults. I went down in the very front as previews were about to start. There was some kid babbling over and over, so I moved to another seat, right next to my Mom, who coincidentally saw the same movie at the same time in the same theater. There was a trailer that was going on for about 5 minutes, and the crowd got super angry, so the projectionist stopped the trailer halfway through. And then it went to a sequel to Legend of the Guardians (the Zack Snyder owl movie) I was super confused and thinking to myself, "Wait 'till BOT hears about this," but the crowd still got mad because they wanted to see Gnomes, so all the trailers got cut, which got me upset. Then the Paramount logo came up, but for some reason, the Mountain was replaced with Cookie Monster. I guess there was a Sesame Street short playing, but all I saw was some live-action bits with Johnny Depp, and I later got distracted by some teenage girl behind me talking super loud with her. I asked her quietly to stop talking, then she got pissy with me and started getting louder and louder, and I was getting more angry, but my Mom was getting mad at me, and said something like "Eric, sit down and ignore them." So I was in a bad mood, and just said to myself, "@WrathOfHan will have a field day with this." Then I noticed the screen was completely black, and then I realized, "Wait a minute...it's January." And then I woke up. ...I have issues.

Something I'm stealing from @La Binoche from the weekend thread: In Spring 2016, Hello, My Name is Doris, a Roadside film, managed to gross $14.4 million, with a maximum of 979 theaters. The Meddler, an SPC film, grossed only $4.3 million, at a maximum of 464 theaters. They both got the same level of reception, were considered crowdpleasers, and were targeting the exact same audience, and yet one was a modest success, while the other is completely forgotten. I know that release date plays a big factor for these films and how many theaters and screens they're able to get, but I still think Meddler could have done better under a different studio. Better yet, a good chunk of SPC's recent English-language films could have garnered more success under different distributors. An Education could have tripled its gross under Focus, as would Whiplash under Fox Searchlight. I'd even argue Still Alice would have made a touch more under Focus or Weinstein (back in 2015 of course) In short, SPC needs better campaigners, new management, or at the very least just stick to foreign-language films.

Um...yes?

This is why you’re no longer a mod.

@New Year New Panda The competition's afraid of your movie.

This...this has good potential.

That. Looks. Awesome!

She was probably super busy filming both Mary Poppins and The Post so the creatives decided to focus on a young Streep played by Lily James
