I've already made plans with my Dad to see X-Men.

Honestly, if this movie had Taron Egerton's character as the lead, I'd probably be way more interested in this.

The movie theater will always be my go-to place to see a movie. I'm in complete darkness, and I'm fully engaged with just the screen. At home with my television, I feel there are more distractions surrounding me, and I'm not as engaged. However, I prefer going to movies with smaller crowds, which is why I always choose a matinee over an evening showing, unless my day's completely booked.

Aw man, I remember my first R movie. Seeing Fury Road all by myself as I drove myself when I got my driver's license just last week was the best movie experience I had that year...well, second to seeing Creed on my birthday.

Well, 15M for MONEY MONSTER seems pretty lackluster when you consider the 3 Oscar Winners starring in this movie along with Foster Directing it and the salary they probably commanded, doesn't bode well for their Star Power which seems to be fading it seems based on this number??? Perhaps they should've released this on a different weekend away from CW???

What are you talking about? It's an old-skewing thriller with a $27 million budget and limited marketing. It's getting around $55M or so DOM, so it's doing perfectly fine. (Also, Jack O'Connell hasn't even been nominated for an Oscar).

Hey, I'm just a noob. I honestly thought the chatter might not be welcome, and might distract from Panda's hard work. And trying to look through all the pages in the thread would be a bit of a chore. And I certainly didn't want a list when there were only ten films announced.

And it's not like I'm here for no reason. I voted in this thing.

 

But let me know how I can make you even more angry, please.

Why did you decide to shit up this thread, anyways? This was supposed to be fun, and you had to pipe in with your ignorant bullshit.

 

Anyways, I view it as different mediums. If live-action is painting, then animation is sculpting. Neither is inherently superior.

Honestly, Baumers opinion infuriates me, and given that he chose to express it in this thread of all places, I'm not sure if I even want to visit this board anymore.

Hey, there's this really great movie that came out recently that's all about tolerance and accepting the ideas that people are different. It's called Zootopia, and I think you would learn a lot from that movie.

Weekend Thoughts:

On a snarky note, it's funny to see Batman v Superman and My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 so close in weekend grosses when the latter debuted to 1/10 of the former on the same weekend.

Fun fact: my nearest movie theater got rid of Batman v Superman this week, but it's still showing Greek Wedding a month and a half later.

The only thing I remember about the Oscars, outside of the black elephant in the room, was Leo winning, Sly losing, Sam being lame, Weeknd and Gaga killing it, and Chris doing his typical standup. It was still way more interesting than last year though. I literally forgot everything that happened that year, even who was the host.
