    Well, if everyone knows who it is, name then!

     

    Like, vaguebooking is such a pussy thing.

    He's talking about me. I'm the moderator.

     

    And you know what? He's right. I do give out most of the warning points. And sometimes, I can be harsh with that stuff. I've been told that a lot. But somebody has to do it. And I'm just trying to do what I think is best for the forum. Sometimes I'm right, sometimes I'm wrong. But I feel my warnings are pretty fair 98% of the time. And for the most part, they seem to be working. Besides, a 2-point warning that only lasts a month is pretty light all things considered. A slap on the wrist. Something you can quickly learn and quickly change just like that. And most of the time, people learn from my warnings and don't cause any trouble. Good thing we got the "10 points and you're out" system in place, where people can be given multiple chances to learn.

     

    And don't worry LMD, you're allowed to call me out directly. Prefer if you just did it privately, which you did literally yesterday, but you can say my name. I'm not above anybody. I have thick skin. I don't ban people the second somebody criticizes me, like you're pretending I do. And hey! If you bring up a good and valid point, I'll listen and internalize it. Frankly, I've been hit with way more insulting rhetoric than being called "the mod who hands out all the warnings". You're good hon.

    I’m seeing Trap today with some coworkers. Shyamalan is a filmmaker I like and usually respect even if it doesn’t work out. 
     

    Speaking of which, I will go to bat for his last three movies and say they’re some of his best work.

    I’ve been pushing that his new era of movies have been some of his best for a while now. Old and Glass and Split and Cabin have all excelled as some of his most creative and emotionally resonant movies yet. Really, of his post-blockbuster era, The Visit is the only one of his I’ve hated, though that is in large part because I think he did a crummy job re: the whole found footage angle. Not sure what the point was (well, outside of keeping costs down)

    The Zachary Levi movie star era has come to its appropriate end.

    Half-expecting by the end of next year that Levi will star in some generic network cop show that nobody under the age of 50 will watch, but will somehow last 7 seasons. Or a Peacock show that gets canceled in two.

     

    Of course, he's guaranteed within the next 7 years to star as Chuck in a Super Bowl commercial for like...TurboTax or something.

  5. Don’t know if this is just me playing Devil’s advocate, but Furiosa also had great presales before stumbling at the endgame. Alien is of course a far bigger franchise and has a bigger fandom, but it’s also a niche sci-fi 80s franchise from a very fan-driven franchise. And while Furiosa was fresh off Fury Road, Alien hasn’t had a huge crowd pleasing hit since Aliens. And that movie is how old now?

     

    I hope for the best of course. It looks good! I’m excited for it. Just feel it’s important to bring that up with some of the 60+ predictions I’m seeing.

  6. Just now, wattage said:

    To be fair, based on the numbers basically nobody has seen it.

    I saw it in theaters myself. Was actually taken aback at first why everybody hated it, because I loved how dynamite and thrilling and inventive the first act was...then we got to act two, and it all made sense. When your big joke is "a sandwich with meat on the top and bread in the middle whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa", I gotta wonder how much time they actually had with this stupid movie.

  7. Look, even if Moana 2 is bad, and I am frankly more confident on it than most are, at least quality-wise, BvS legs for an animated movie is simply unheard of. Let alone for a movie that will have both Thanksgiving and Christmas to help support it. I just think getting to 600M is a ludicrous leap, and I hope we aren't fooling ourselves into thinking a more modest jump of 360M or something is a bad gross.

    I have to say watching the movie surrounded by straight guys making annoyingly loud sounds of excitement everytime someone said “fucking” in the movie was hard, kinda like “oh it’s so grown up and edgy” vibes … yeah it was one of the low points of my screening. 
     

    I wanted people excited with Like a Prayer or something 

    This movie took me back to my middle school days, when Daniel Tosh and The Hangover were considered the funniest shit to all my guy friends, and "that's so gay" was a common phrase...not a compliment!
