Damn, I'm jealous Not sure about other countries but over a third of the UK watches the World Cup final, as well as almost 1/3 watching Wimbledon final. Eh, I find all sports boring to watch. There's no difference in them for me, although running is easier to understand what's going on.

Interstellar is really good, it confuses me how so many people hate it. I don't see what there is about it to hate so strongly. -
It's the olympics lol that's the only reason why.

Weekend Prediction thread 5/10-5/12 Play the Derby
Avatree replied to Impact's topic in Box Office Derby
Uh, explain how Spongebob doing 31M would be a bomb, please? Its budget is 66M and if it opened to 31M then it would get 100M+. -
Obviously it's not, but American Sniper is the film that has everyone talking at the moment. I just want to know if people think it has a chance at all - I know it's unlikely either way.
-
32M is a great number, I was predicting more like 26M a few days ago.
-
Does anyone think American Sniper could win Best Picture? I was looking on a betting site and they have odds of 50/1.... it's super tempting to put some money down on that, since I'd say the chance of it happening is a lot higher than 2%. I mean, I know Boyhood will probably win, but given how Sniper has kind of taken over the whole of America, it's a possibility.

Yes, by like a hundred miles. Tom Hardy is phenomenal in Locke. It's rare to see a film that relies so heavily on its central character's performance, and even rarer to see one that pulls it off.

The way he grabs the air makes him deserving of an Oscar alone.
-
Not quite my tempo.
-
I'll most likely have it in my top 25, I'm pretty excited about it as it looks good.
-
The Fault In Our Broadband Connection? I'm sure Whiplash got in, I know lots of users think it's top 10 or top 5 material (and a couple who have it at #1)
-
Huh? Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is brilliant.
-
I saw 30-something films in 2014, which is way more than I usually do. NatM was one of them, and since it was actually decent, it made my top 25. 25 usually covers everything I see, so even Transformers almost made it. Night at the Musem 3 is good though, make no mistake. No, I doubt TASM2 is on the list.

Lisa's 50 BESTEST movies of the LUSTRUM

Finally, a film here that I think deserves a place in the top 50 Though I find it a bit strange that you're now at #34 and it's still "not great". -
I didn't think Godzilla was particularly good. I thought the amount of Godzilla in the film was perfect, it's just everything surrounding that was poor. The first act was strong thanks to a compelling performance from Bryan Cranston, playing an interesting character. But after he died, it was left to Aaron Taylor-Johnson, which is never a good thing. The human drama went downhill fast.
-
Big Hero 6 was great, and my cinema was packed. I might see it again tomorrow since I loved it so much.
-
Planet of the Apes not winning best vfx...
-
Didn't know that. I haven't met anyone who knows what it is and never heard any talk of it online.

9 out of 12 months will have a film break its OW record 2015?

"Spielberg thriller" opening above Gravity? Iffy at best. -
Period drama about race and gender issues, I think. It got pretty good reviews but it's mostly unknown. Some critics have called it the best film of 2014. I only heard about it recently, when one of my favourite critics said it's in the top 10 films of the year. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belle_(2013_film) http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/belle_2014/

Yeah, second worst film for me, beaten out only by Bay4mers

Here's one that you lot will love then: All of Roland Emmerich's movies are rubbish.

Lisa's 50 BESTEST movies of the LUSTRUM

I'd love for this short film to win. It is very short, but I really connect to it emotionally. It's deep - it conveys the idea that due to all the chaos in our lives, we sometimes struggle to see things for what they are, and that ultimately everything we know may be a lie. Its lead character is a convincing portrayal of someone who is from another place, but who inside still has that human flaw of walking into traps and problems. -
I don't think popularity is an objective measure of quality in any way.
