It was never going to make $800 million. Why is this shit still being said? And, once again, word of mouth is good. There is no universe in which the colossal amount of cash it’s already made is in any way, shape or form a disappointment. The absolute desperation from Luke fanboys to try and say otherwise is increasingly hilarious.

She can take care of herself and what she does in the final act makes nerds on the web mad. Hard to white knight a woman that can take care of herself. See the whining about Rey for the last two years for further evidence of this. Every single supposed problem with her can be lobbed at Luke from the OT trilogy and yet...silence when you bring up his problems. That is literally it.

Unless Justice League is catastrophically bad, which based on somewhat early word, it’s at worst looking to be decent, it’s clearing a billion worldwide. Wonder Woman cleared $820 million worldwide. Now add in the rest of the gang (plus Cyborg, for any fans he may have out there). It will be in the billion dollar club and probably fairly quickly.

I’m glad to see Chris Hemsworth finally has a good solo movie in the MCU. First one showed promise and had the fish out of water aspect working for it but it had plenty of room for improvement, which The Dark World totally squandered. Then he barely seemed to be in Age of Ultron until the big fight at the end. Only other time he was able to really show anything was the first Avengers movie. Kind of sad that Thor has seemed to be an afterthought in the MCU up until now.

Two more comic book movies that are going to do well regardless of reviews. Like, I’ve been in heaven with all of the quality CBM movies we have gotten going back to the start of the Nolan Batman trilogy all the way through now, but yeah, it’s hard to get EXCITED about them anymore. Go see it, have a good time and that’s that. They never really stick with me afterwards anymore, certainly not the way I’m still thinking about BR 2049. Then you see these numbers for 2049 and it’s just disheartening. Thought provoking big budget movies are indeed a dying breed. Not even trying to go in on people who didn’t like 2049 or have no interest in seeing it. Just thoroughly disappointed that like Apes a few months ago, a movie is deemed “bleak and depressing” and it goes by the wayside and flops/disappoints at the box office. Can’t help but wonder if some of the blockbusters of the 70s through the early 90s ever even get made in this day and age. Probably not.

Guess I should’ve specified I was more talking about the box office and legs. Between Apes and now BR 2049, its amazing to see longer, big budget movies that are also slower paced than you’d expect out of a 150+ million dollar movies. And one of them also being an R rated sci fi movie that’s nearly three hours long. What a time to be alive. Just hope BR has better legs than Apes did.

An A- for BR 2049. Apparently there is still hope for general audiences. Now where were you bastards for Apes!? *shakes fist*

At which point I would’ve loudly told them to get off the goddamn phone and if they go on it again, I will be getting management involved. Zero tolerance with people on a phone once the movie starts. Something is that fucking important, get up and go out in the hallway. Don’t sit there with the bright ass screen in a dark movie theater like an inconsiderate, self absorbed dickhead. Everywhere should just be like the Alamo Drafthouse and all these problems would cease to be.
