TServo2049

lilmac, I was born in 1987 and only saw the Schumacher movies in the theaters. Also, as I said in my last paragraph, I am decidedly more forgiving of the Burton movies now than I was in the mid-00s. I changed opinions on them twice over the years.

My example that immediately comes to mind: Tim Burton's Batman movies. I really liked them in that post-B&R era when the Schumacher movies were fresh in the mind (or rotten in the mind, as it were). They were still the DEFINITIVE Batman movies for me. Then, as I got more into reruns of the animated series, and especially in the months leading up to Batman Begins, I grew to quite dislike them (Laundry list at the time included: Batman kills people! The Prince songs! Joker shoots down the plane with one shot from a gun in his pants! Why does Bruce Wayne sleep upside down like a bat in that one scene? The Penguin is a Tim Burton freak stereotype! Selina Kyle magically resurrected by cat licks! Why did the Penguin bite that guy's nose off?! Penguins with rockets strapped to their backs! The Penguin "driving" a ride-em toy Batmobile! Batman record-scratches on a CD! They're really no less campy than the Adam West show!) There was some interview with Mark Hamill where he ripped into the Burton movies, and at the time I believed myself to be in total agreement with the stuff he said. Then, at some point after TDK, I gradually came back into realizing that flawed as they may be, I did not hate them, and was willing to enjoy them for what they were. So I've reached a happy medium.

Yes to Hellboy 3. Also, wish we could get a semi-reboot/semi-do-over John Carter sequel. Basically, do Gods of Mars but replace Taylor Kitsch (and maybe other cast members) and try to make it WORK. That first movie was like a rough draft of something that could have been so much better. And I still want The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League...

You just described what I thought was going to happen as I was watching the movie for the first time.

The Indiana Jones ride is one of the best (still unmolested) attractions at Disneyland. (My favorites, Pirates sans Depp and the original Star Tours, no longer exist.)

Elba owns. I don't care how stupid it is, they should just pull a Pentacost clone/robot out their ass so we can have more Elba.Oh well, at least Ron Perlman survived. I hope we see more of him.

Return to Horror High.

Australian dad guy was awesome. They should have killed Charlie Hunnam and the annoying son and kept Idris Elba and Aussie Dad alive.

It just feels like we'd have already gotten an announcement if it was. I haven't even heard anything about a script for TF5.Besides, Trek has been May and TF has always been a July 4th thing. (Maybe they'd go back to a midweek opening to get the jump on the other stuff, and not have to open directly against The Mummy.)Though Trek on June 24 would make that weekend Kurtzman vs. Orci...Getting back on track, I can't believe I'm willing to give this a chance after Into Darkness, and with Orci writing and directing, and not really liking the reboot franchise all that much...but somehow I am. I don't know why.

Whoever said TF5 is going to come out in 2016?I think ST3 is probably going to go for May 20, it's the only vacant weekend left.

Point taken. Even I had no idea Frozen was going to do $400M.And I'm not saying this won't do well. I want it to.

Of course it won't, this is not the kind of movie that makes $400m.

Surprise of the century.When is the last time a major film has been delayed from a scheduled release date less than a year away, because principal photography hadn't even started yet?

That's weird, with the huge glasses she looks nothing like that. Do they just obscure the facial resemblance? It's like Christopher Reeve as Clark Kent vs. Christopher Reeve as Superman...

Actually, lisa's list (which is based on Consumer Price Index, not average ticket prices) does show Titanic just ahead of E.T. (even narrower margin than BOM).

I thought Lucy was a good watch. I probably won't actively seek it out in the future, but it didn't piss me off like it pissed off a ton of people. And I was kind of jazzed that I was watching an original, more "cerebral" sci-fi film in a theater in 2014. It certainly pulled off its bullshit pseudo-science/pseudo-philosophy stuff better than Tron Legacy did.

Wouldn't be surprising.

Yes, this. I continue to believe that the gap between Interstellar and BH6's final grosses will be smaller than many people are assuming.

I was 13 when I saw the first one, but I was actually debating with myself whether to put the LOTR trilogy on my "nostalgic" list. I ultimately left it off and just stuck with stuff from when I was actually a child, but LOTR is the one thing from my adolescence that could qualify as "nostalgic" to me.

That movie has a haunting otherworldly beauty to me. Out of those four I listed, it is the film that evokes the most nostalgic feelings for me.I previously elaborated on it in my post on the RTM thread.

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate FactoryThe Neverending StoryHome AloneThe Santa Clause

Tangled opened at #2 against Deathly Hallows Part 1. Frozen opened at #2 against Catching Fire.

That it is - I almost brought up the phrase in my last post.

I've also seen it compared to How to Train Your Dragon (as in the first one).Not a bad thing in any way - I really like/love all three of those movies.

Actually, it's a new French live-action adaptation starring Vincent Cassel and Léa Seydoux.
