  1. I don't know why some people are surprised about this. Revenge of the Fallen and Dark of the Moon (which was hyped as a 3D event) weren't exactly beloved, there was a complete cast overhaul, and as I mentioned in the movie's actual prediction thread, the marketing did nothing to really tell it apart from the previous films (plus this franchise just has fatigue in general). Thus, this is the result.
  2. Oh well. I don't have a really vested interest in this movie, so, eh.
  3. I don't care at all about Pokemon (I was in my freshman year of college when it was the height of its popularity/the release of the movie) or that there are apparently plenty of people here who still worship it. But that endless discussion of it in the weekend #'s thread last weekend which eventually turned into a "which character is hotter" debate (having the hots for an animated character...yeah, just, no) that was really grotesque. Anyway, back to topic: where them Transformers #'s at.
  4. Agreed with all of this. Threads getting derailed is nothing new and are tolerable as long as they are contained. But geez don't allow it to go so far. The debacle in last weekend's thread was ridiculous and gross.
  5. Yeah, they underwhelmed in comparison to even the lowest expectations, but just because it's summer doesn't mean people will automatically flock to the theater just because. There are other- and certainly more fulfilling- things to do than to sit in a movie theater watching a nearly three-fuckin'-hours-long Transformers movie.
  6. I must say, on Filmgasm/World of KJ as well as BOM back when you and I (and maybe a few others still around) were among its members around a decade ago, this kind of thread hijacking would've never been allowed. And at least when the threads were derailed in all of those cases, the hijacking at least had something to do with the topic of the thread.
  7. This looked like it was going to be an "off" summer heading into the season, and the reality that it has turned out to be a pretty weak summer is a surprise for a number of people? Something does not compute.
  8. Stricter moderation would help to tell individuals to take it elsewhere when the topic has gone so far off from its original purpose.
  9. Hmm I'll take a shot. Of movies opening within exactly one year from now: 1. Interstellar 2. Gone Girl 3. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 4. The Avengers: Age of Ultron 5. Inside Out 6. Big Eyes 7. Jurassic World 8. Tomorrowland 9. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes 10. Big Hero 6
  10. This thread is the last time anyone anywhere will ever speak of Free Birds until the end of the time.
  11. LOL I remember reading a review for Free Birds that said it ends with a message that pizza is the only food that is perfect to eat all the time or something like that. That must please nutritionists to the high heavens.
  12. Only on this forum would a Wednesday box office thread dissolve into a RiffTrax screening of fuckin' Free Birds (a very recent movie I completely forgot even existed until now). Oy!
  13. Next Week's Theater Counts Tammy- 3,350+ Deliver Us From Evil- 3,000 Earth to Echo- 2,800 America- 1,000 (this has to be the widest release ever for a movie 99.9% of the moviegoing public has never heard of beforehand)
  14. Box office numbers in a box office thread? For shame, baumer. For shame.
  15. Did they ever really think that this had potential to do over 2 billion dollars?! If so, I'll have whatever it is they're having.
  16. And he dissed Harry Potter as well, calling both of the franchises "work." Oh shit you better run, Gary. No, really, what the hell is he doing?
  17. This looks really bleak and miserable but intriguing. Reviews are pretty strong so far. Will definitely check at least the pilot out.
  18. A terrific actor who lived a great and full life. RIP Eli.
  19. Arrow has really surpassed my expectations and turned out to be a very, very good show, so I have high hopes that this turns out well too.
