  1. ohmygod prince charles cinema is having a South Park movie swear along, gotta go to that, will just have to try and not care that I'd be going on my own
  2. Leaving my 200-strong blu ray collection behind was one of the hardest decisions when I moved out from my parents. But I only have one room not a huge amount of space, so decided that anything that hadn't been rewatched in the past 12 months didn't need to come with me. So my blu ray collection now consists of: Guardians of the Galaxy Warcraft Kung Fu Panda trilogy Shrek Lego Movie Lord of the Rings Pacific Rim Robocop Starship Troopers Total Recall Rock of Ages Team America The Room Warcraft Baby Driver @WrathOfHan take your very favourite movies and nothing else. I know this isn't a serious convo but still.
  3. Just realised the clocks have gone forward. 3am and I'm not even vaguely tired. Woke up at 3pm today as I got to sleep at 7.30am... really not the day I want the clocks to change. Gonna be up for ages
  4. seeing it Monday. You've made me excited now.
  5. All joking aside, if you want to see your favourite movies on here, that's really probably a good idea. Most people on here have never seen a film released before 2012. Myself included.
  6. What on earth is this. How many different comic book universes are there on TV simultaneously? Theres the live action and the animated ones, is this a third one? Teenage superheroes?
  7. @DAJK you may find that if a manager's doing that, its because they've been led to do so by their boss. So the general manager may not be the best person. Then again, if the GM doesnt know about it, they're the best person as they ultimately have more power than head office. Probably report it to GM and go from there. Head office if GM doesn't do anything. And yes deliberately charging a customer for something they explicitly have not purchased, is illegal. On another note, why would anyone put butter on popcorn? Another sign that America is full of stupid people. (and yes I know you're in canada but whatever)
  8. that movie was decent, stunts were good and they didn't do everything by computers unlike certain other car related action movies
  9. yeah I know. Dont really know how they've managed to fuck it up but apparently it's not been well received there. I really don't get it, they liked the first but not the second when they're pretty similar. They go crazy for Transformers but don't like Pacific Rim 2? Nope I don't understand.
  10. Safe to say it has not performed to some peoples expectations in China. (I include myself in that...) especially since the movie was kind of made for that audience. But I think even with bad legs in China it should mean it finishes over 300M. Probably not enough for another sequel but it's doing much better than most people here thought it was going to. 25M+ opening in the US alone is exceeding expectations.
  11. What was that about no one caring about Pacific Rim? Pacific Rim eyes $146 million opening weekend http://deadline.com/2018/03/pacific-rim-uprising-china-opeing-international-box-office-1202352819/
  12. Please don't associate the Wiseausterpiece with Sharknado. It's not a trash film. Got nothing against trash cinema but the whole point of trash films is they're deliberately cheap/crap/exploitation. The Room is a sincere drama that happens to be absolutely terrible. It has a real heart and spirit to it. and for the reason above, The Room will stand strong for very long. also not sure what you mean about Troll 2, that movie already has plenty of fans.
  13. It is number 5. http://deadline.com/2018/03/it-stephen-king-box-office-movie-profits-1202351455/ I was correct, they spent the same amount of money on advertising as any other tentpole. (155M marketing budget) probably Fast and Furious misses because of how much % is made up by China. one third of its box office was China.
  14. Most Overused Song As A Plot Point In Alien Covenent, the crew receives a foreign radio transmission from another planet, signaling life. In Kingsman: The Golden Circle, Mark Strong distracts some guards to allow Eggy to sneak in. In Logan Lucky, Logans daughter performs at her beauty peagent to provide the emotional conclusion to the movie. What do these three films have in common? Each of the people I mentioned is singing John Denver's Take Me Home, Country Roads. It's one thing to have a song that's featured on multiple soundtracks. It's another to have a song that is diegetic in multiple films. But it is a whole other ball game for not only this song to appear in the film but actually serve as part of the plot... and this happened in 3 different movies!! I dont know why no one else picked up on this but it really annoyed me. I like the song but I dont need to have it talked about in every other fucking movie I watch. I'm sure its unintentional, as the movies were filmed at different times... but really? I mean, really?
  15. finally I have a day at home, can finish off this stupid list lol. Worst Films of the Year... Terminator 2: Judgement Day - 3D What's this? Terminator 2 is a bad movie? No, it's a good movie. It's great. Having a re-release is always good, it exposes the film to a new audience and I always appreciate being able to see something the way it was meant to be experienced. But this is not how it was meant to be experienced. I am sick to death of this stupid trend of 3D re-releases that ruin the original movie. I don't care if James Cameron claims it was 'always his vision' and this is the 'true way to see the film'. What is wrong with just releasing an old film again? Why do you have to attach some dumb gimmick as if people only want to see Terminator 2 again if it's in 3D? I'd wager it would gross exactly the same if it'd been released in 2D, if not even more. And it wouldn't have cost any money. Case in point, Grease is about to have a wide release for its 40th anniversary, and it's getting a lot of marketing in cinemas. There's no special gimmick. It's not in 3D. But because it's received some actual advertising budget, it is selling well. As for this 3D release, well, the 3D is crap, and you can barely see anything given the whole movie is set at night anyway, the light loss from the glasses is even more prominent here. Bugger off James Cameron, I like your movies as they are. You do not need to ruin them in order to get me into the cinema. Pirates and Transformers 5 I know both these movies have been ripped to shreds by other people. And given that I genuinely cannot remember anything from either film, I cant really go into specifics here. But I just wanted to say they were both crap. That's all. Assassin's Creed In the assassins creed games, the developers were always nervous about giving it a period setting, so they anchored the story in a futuristic background that makes up maybe 10% of the games. These were the bits of the games that everyone hated, but the vast majority of the games was the assassin stuff, so people accept that. In adapting it to the big screen though, the filmmakers clearly felt the opposite. The only thing people liked in the games was the laboratory future stuff, right? So they had to make that be the bulk of the movie. It was a bizarre decision and it didn't pay off, because as a result the film is dull and a waste of time, and not what a single person wanted to see. But I must leave the achievement of worst film to something else.. The Worst Film of 2017 Blade Runner: 2049 I barely have any words for this pretentious bore of a film. I liked the original and hoped this might bring a similar mix of action/tension and thoughtful ideas. It does not. I didnt care about a single character. Ryan Gosling's character is so bland and I wanted him to get killed asap. Everyone whispers throughout the film for no reason. Its filled with pretentious dialogue that thinks it is smart but in fact is nothing but boring. Nothing in it made any sense to me - this could either be because it doesnt make sense, or because I was so bored and unengaged that I couldn't be bothered to follow the plot. Either way, it's a boring mess of nothingness. It is all style and no substance. And when I say that, what I mean is, it's all Roger Deakins and nothing else in the film is any good whatsoever. Even Harrison Ford is crap. This was the longest film I've ever seen and by the last part of the movie I was in physical pain from the boredom, I have never, I mean NEVER, been so bored by a film. For that it can be the only choice for worst film of the year. And despite what Internet People tell me, I have yet to meet anyone in real life who actually liked it either.
  16. love it. also don't think it is a coincidence that the only nation that didnt take to the movie is the stupidest nation. there's really no reason to be gleeful about disliking 3BB
  17. 13 weeks into greatest showman's run and its still selling out cinemas... noticed a sell out of the largest screen at my local cinema today.. is this film ever going to disappear?
  18. So much fun that as soon as I left the cinema, I bought a ticket for the next showing and watched it again.
