  1. This is quite stifling in my opinion. We talk numbers here. And what influences those numbers. Talks of "whitewashing" is a major influencer in GitS's performance. Many Asian Americans (and those few Asian American celebs) are actively encouraging their friends (and following) to not see this film. As long as no one is actively targeting or attacking someone else, civilized talk about why this movie tank is acceptable. I don't see how bobble head emojis and gifs are preferred over actual talk about why a film's BO is a certain way. Some conversations are difficult; we want more safe places and less censorship. Unless, the weekends thread is a purely numbers only thread, which I don't think is the case. -- I did not see BB doing this good. D:
  2. I think casting Scarlett Johansson instead of an Asian actress was shitting on fans. I know many Asians Americans not seeing the movie because of that.
  3. Tried to see Power Rangers. Did not buy tix in advance . . . Wrong choice, sold out! =[ Went to dinner instead. Will have to try another day for Power Rangers.
  4. Who the hell is Boss Baby even catered to? Parents and their current kids who are expecting a new addition? I swear Rugrats did it better with Rugrats the movie.
  5. Trying to see PR this weekend. There are like no 5 showings, which is low. =[
  6. Has it been noted that MI:6 has the same name as British espionage agency MI:6. Would be cool if there was a tie in!
  7. BatB doing good business. First hand reports -- one friend of mine saw it yesterday in an empty theater. Another friend reported this past weekend still sold out so they're seeing it tonight.
  8. Count yourself in a lucky area if you only have one kind of IMAX. Here in the city, small scale IMAX screens are popping up, not nearly the size of even a premium screen back in the day. There's also a difference between analog film IMAX and digital IMAX. Analog is superior but digital is darn close. So that difference isn't much of a game changer. What about 35mm and 70mm and other special formats? Anybody go out of their way for that? I tried to see Interstellar in 35mm but it didn't happen. But I did see The Hateful Eight in 70mm and I gotta say, it was worth it!
  9. I wanted 100 million for BATB. Oh well. I only watch 3D when the 2D showing has sold out. Kind of curious, what is everyone's preferred viewing format? For a movie that matters to me, I prefer best local IMAX -- not the dingy digital faux IMAX. For a movie that sells out, I go for reserved seating in whatever format has not sold out. For a movie, I want to see, I usually go for reserved seating in 2D. Everything else is walk up ticket for 2D.
  10. So when does Disney release the sing along version?
