  1. Keith Simanton has reached new levels... Keith, no one is interested in your opinion. Report on box office, not complain about feminism.
  2. Lots of people had high expectations for Fifty Shades. By the time its weekend rolled around, there were 34 people in the over 100M club.
  3. over the past few years the site has gotten worse, but particularly in the last 6 months it's gotten really bad. A couple of weeks ago, Ray Subers left BOM and IMDB has got their chief editor to look after the site. It's being updated much less and the articles are much poorer. They're hiring someone new to manage the site but I don't expect it'll get any better.
  4. just get stanley kubrick to do it and be done with this argument.
  5. what do you mean, "already seeing minions toys"? Minions became a thing 5 years ago...

  7. Sorry, buddy, new study published yesterday... Most Dinosaurs Were Probably Scaly, Not Feathered Anyway, this club is easy in.
  8. Probably the finest example of the problem of Snyder's films, which is that it's all style over substance. It's just a bunch of men in dress-up running around in slow motion. It would work as a 5-minute Youtube video, but as a full 2 hour movie... god, it's painfully terrible. I can't believe I actually sat through the whole thing.
  9. there are things to like in Kingsman, no doubt. some of the gags are really funny. taron egerton is great. certain action scenes are well put together and the visuals are engaging. but it is so inconsistent, particularly in tone - one scene is laugh-out-loud comedy, the next scene is dumb melodrama that seems to be taking itself seriously. this is really my problem with vaughn's films - he can't control himself. he thinks of lots of different things and he just puts them all on film. doesn't think about how well they go together, whether they're appropriate for what the film is meant to be, or even if they're any good. I had this problem with kick-ass & stardust too. some of the stuff works, some of it doesn't, but it's all thrown together in a bleeding mess that I just can't stand what's going on. the "satirical" spin on bond/spy films doesn't work at all. there's a line in satire that runs between picking something apart, and just straight up copying it. vaughn has thrown his movie so far across the line that he has no idea that he's done so. not to mention the sexism, which I'm not gonna go into because I know no good will come of that...
  10. Actual 3D glasses for the movie... Yep. I usually get several Amazon packages a day, my mum buys so much on there - and you can go to anyone's house, anyone's flat, you'll find a recent Amazon box lying around. This is brilliant marketing.
