No Time To Die | October 8 2021 | 82% on RT | RIP Sean Connery
Eric the Clown replied to Neo's topic in Box Office Discussion
Goldfinger's largely entertaining (Oddjob is my hero and the golf sequence is brilliant), but it also has probably the most sexist moment of the Connery era. The way Bond forces himself onto Pussy Galore (that name lmao) in that barn is just so repugnant and awful that it just completely took me out of the rest of the film. -

Just wrapped up You Only Live Twice. These Connery movies are fun to watch and have good individual elements to them. But the one problem this stint has faced is James Bond himself. Connery's pretty solid in the role (though by YOLT, you can tell he was starting to check out), but Bond is such a flat, boring character that it's hard to get all that invested into these storylines. Honestly, Connery's Bond being such a bore only heightens the creepy, problematic horndog aspects on the character, which Craig's interpretation was largely, but not flawlessly, able to skirt away from.* *Yes, I know these movies are a product of their times and Bond is supposed to be a womanizer. No, that doesn't excuse problematic, poorly-written garbage. Especially when movies like Thunderball and You Only Live Twice have little else going for them, so you're just left with a creepy guy who in the latter dons yellowface in a gross, Orientalist depiction of Japan. -

I mean I'm combining those Wednesday shows to the Thursday total, as I'm assuming they will be rolled into the preview # -
It's almost TV's time to shine with the most prestigious event for long-form television productions. And as the lines between movies and TV blur, there's a lot to get excited for. Will Papa Feige take home the gold? Will Queen Anya get her deserved trophy? Will the ruse of Ted Lasso being an actual show that exists continue? So many questions that will all be answered tonight, courtesy of the one and only Cedric the Entertainer. As always, follow some of the basic golden rules here. Be nice, be respectful towards your fellow BOT posters, don't be a dick. Have fun!

I doubt Addams Family 2 would have done anything even if it was theaters only, no pandemic, etc. The last film was boring as sin and only had nostalgia as a hook, which doesn't work for a follow-up. Hotel Transylvania 4 however could have done solid business at like 135M or something. -

Would a 60M gross really do that much to stop Joaquamole Phoenix? Especially because he was in the most talked-about movie that fall? -

Eddie Murphy's reign in the 1980s, both in movies and television, was truly something incredible. There's a reason Coming 2 America did so well on Amazon and probably would have done solid business in theaters, despite being garbage. In terms of tickets sold domestically (67.1 million), it sold more than Dead Man's Chest, Incredibles 2, Finding Nemo, The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast remakes, Rogue One, all the Lord of the Rings movies, etc. Mindboggling to think about really. -

Well before that, the most recent one was Furious 7. Paul Blart 2 came close, but no cigar
