You can't complain about a lack of security. It is insane to consider having security at a cinema. Also I am not an expert, but I wouldn't say a cinema is the easiest place to kill people.

Variety is reporting there are two dead.

Have there been many shootings at cinemas? Only one in recent years that I am aware of is obviously TDKR, have there been others?

What the actual fuck have Keith's terrible puns devolved to...? Flix Crix Nix Pix-els?

Ant-Man 35% drop not good, probably not grossing 100M tbh.

Leo's last three movies all had budgets over $100M and they did fine at the box office. He's a reliable draw. That being said, I'm still extremely sceptical about this 135M.

Yeah, I saw this list a few days ago and was unimpressed.

33. Doug Liman's EDGE OF TOMORROW Starring: Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Brendan Gleeson Box office: $100.2M Rotten Tomatoes: 90% "It's judgment day." It wouldn't be a top movies list without something involving the Greatest Movie Star In The World himself, Tom Cruise. It may have been a financial mess but the product we're given is breathtaking, from the authentic central relationship between the two leads, to the sheer practical scale this film showcases. Edge of Tomorrow is a film which really surprised me; I went into the cinema with low expectations, thinking it would be another boring greyscale future war film, and while it does have a wide range of inspirations, it manages to differentiate itself thanks to a well-executed timeloop trope and some supreme editing which makes the film stylish, fun and intelligently crafted. Films like Starship Troopers are clear influences, with the film showing how poorly and cockily the military would deal with alien invasion, as well as its portrayals of both the soldiers, and the scale & size of a massive army. It's an impressive spectacle to behold, and thanks to its editing and direction, the action refuses to feel repetitive, despite some scenes being repeated dozens of times. Throughout the film, it's peppered with great black humour gags, as well as poking fun at the usually-invincible action hero that Cruise has been for the last 30 years. In this day and age, if you're given $200 million and told to produce a big action film that entertains its audience, then this is what you should do. It's self-aware, it's snazzy and it's satisfying.

Yup, looks like no one is actually watching the trailer.

Yeah, I had no idea that Duncan Jones was Bowie's son until after I saw Moon and went to find out who he is.

JW is going to beat Titanic. The treephecy has foretold it.

You are mistaken. They are actually the same person. He discovered America and beat all the natives into making rubbish family movies for him. He's been doing this for the past few hundred years.

No, those are all terrible. He gets a pass for Punch Drunk Love and nothing else.

I can't stand Columbus. I don't think I've liked a single film which he directed. I forgive him for Gremlins.

The Lego Movie had the best VFX of any film last year.

34. Edgar Wright's THE WORLD'S END Starring: Simon Pegg, Nick Frost Box office: $26M Rotten Tomatoes: 89% "Get back in your rocket and fuck off back to Legoland, you cunts" Edgar Wright may seem like a niche, fan-centered filmmaker to those of you in the States, but here in the UK, Wright, Pegg and Frost - along with all of their collaborations - are major household names. And after nearly 15 years of work together, The World's End marks the end of an era for these beloved comedians. Balancing soul and action once again, the trio pull off a terrific final film in the Cornetto Trilogy. Like a certain Jake Blues, Pegg's lead character finds himself getting the band back together - trying to re-live his youth, only to discover his once-best-friends have since grown up. If Shaun of the Dead captured the feel of London culture, and Hot Fuzz was for country culture, then our final trip to the World's End lets us in to some British culture as a whole - drinking. As always, the small-scope film has plenty of heart, and dozens upon of dozens of brilliantly written lines that just make every fibre of my being jitter with laughter. The third-act action here is an improvement on its predecessor, making for a more well-rounded film, and ending up as perhaps my favourite summer movie from 2013. I'll miss the gang; just as I'm sure they will miss each other. With the conclusion of this partnership, the world will surely have lost a little innocent magic. (And yes, I admit strawberry tastes better than mint.)

yes. You dont have to read it if you don't want to. But in the past few months I've been dealing with a lot of stuff so I just kinda forgot about this. I don't like leaving things unfinished so I will finish it properly, hopefully by the beginning of next week.

35. Steven Soderbergh's CONTAGION Starring: Matt Damon, Marion Cotillard, Kate Winslet, Jude Law Box office: $76M Rotten Tomatoes: 84% "Somewhere in the world, the wrong pig met up with the wrong bat." Steven Soderbergh's movies can occasionally feel like a matter of style over substance, and Hollywood names over nuanced characters; but it's his films like Contagion which remind us that he's so much more. While it is brimming with A-listers, and it can feel a little over-grimy, the film utilises its talents to the best it can, showing us one of the most humane, down-to-earth portrayals of an apocalypse on screen for many years. Every character feels naturally written and grown, rather than pushed down the road of stereotyping which can so often ensnare movies like this. Soderbergh's brilliance lies in his ability to flesh out everything in his films and paying great attention to small detail, while also making the picture broad enough for a wide, mainstream audience to appreciate it, and Contagion is no different. Its deft sense of unforgiving scale on which the lethal HEV-1 virus spreads is genuinely scary and completely believable; by the end of the film, I was left both terrified and creeped out, and this is thanks to Scott Burns's intriguing script, Soderbergh's immaculate direction, and the performances of all the great central actors. In short, Contagion is just a well-made film - but that's a rare gem in a sea of impending-doom garbage.

Jandrew have you never heard that band before... it's played everywhere, and their music is brilliant.

Huh, I didn't even know there was a new Monsters and Men album out. That's cool. Great trailer. I'm already looking forward to this much more than Inside Out.

I don't think it will open to 100M.

Imo if it was opening on Friday then it would be bigger than Hallows.

Even UK opening? Bear in mind it had a 5x multiplier here, off one of the highest OWs of all time.

I just realised this is being released on a Monday here... makes a lot of sense. Cinemas don't physically have the capacity to deal with the film if it opened on a Friday.
