Moderation Some of you guys didn't get the message, so I'll be a bit clearer. We're not insulting or attacking Ryan Gosling's apperance. It's disrespecful, mean, and incredibly rude, and offers nothing of value to this conversation. Do this again, and you will be threadbanned. This is also not the Henry Cavill thread. This is the place to talk about Barbie, so please talk about Barbie. Thank you.

I mean I still think all 5 movies will happen. This is still getting near 2 billion and there's still enough positivity with this film and likely the future movies that they should still be able to comfortably make near 1.5 billion for each. 1 billion at least. Which yes, I know that's not what we all want, but still comfortable moneymakers, especially since these films also serve as vessels for new Disney World rides and merchandise. And that's what Disney really cares about in the end.

Dude, we get it.

I mean we already do. The opening post done for every big weekend encourages off-topic discussion, so long as things don’t go too far or distracts from recent numbers stuff. But nobody ever does off-topic posts anymore until this weekend.

So sad RIP 😢

True Lies is up there for having the worst second act in history just on all the torture and abuse JLC goes through just so Cameron could find a shoehorned way to have her be in the finale. Genuinely baffled something this gross and sexist was considered appropriate for 1994 viewers. Really ruins what could have been an all-timer movie.

Pretty sure neither is right at the moment lol. Just people throwing guesses around.

Come on man. Don't do this kind of stuff.

Should give that a rewatch. I remember thinking it was obnoxious when I first saw it, but that was before I really became more tolerant and engaged towards Bay's style of filmmaking. Maybe when Bad Boys 4 comes out...eventually.

Are they there though?

BTW we as a culture need to stop saying Armageddon is Bay's best work. Like it's great during the first half of the movie, but then once they get on the asteroid, it's an absolute bore. Still on the side of The Rock for 90s Bay goodness.

How come we haven't done any Cogman shitposts anymore? I miss those.

Is there a law that says a movie has to make a bajillion dollars to be Best Picture-worthy? If so, that is bleak and depressing and dumb

Or maybe they just have an opinion different than yours.

Okay.

Recess did a whole 11-minute parody of 2001: A Space Odyssey and it turned out just fine. The kids will understand this, don't worry.

Hi SupermanLego. Bye SupermanLego.

I...wasn't doubting it would be a big hit? Just pretty sure it won't make Frozen numbers in Japan like you said.

TGM has that Best Picture win. It was basically bio-engineered in a lab to appeal to Academy boomer voters, it has huge industry support already, no real backlash has been brewing for it, the typical awards contenders have whiffed it at the box office (probably gonna whiff it forever tbh), even a "OMG this saved theaters forever" hook. Only other contender left is Everything Everywhere, which also has strong hooks behind it, but I think Top Gun's got just the ever-so-slightly stronger edge.

Don't American adaptations of Japanese properties never do well in Japan?

And that's why people are not using that excuse with other countries. The term "COVID hesitancy" is being used on China and nowhere else. This is what we are telling you again and again. Stop trying to say people are saying something they are clearly not saying. Because at this point, it seems you are intentionally doing this to get a reaction out of people.
