    Already topped $100K in advance sales at the Archlight alone. Coming to kick ass and take names.

    Isn't that where the film would perform strongest anyhow?

     

    I'm sure the LA and NY crowds will love it, but will Middle America want to watch emaciated Emma Stone singing?

    Normally movies get a big bump on Election Day, but this time around I think they won't get the normal bumps because the drama on TV might be must watch. The race can't be called till 8pm Pacific at the earliest. Going to make for some compelling television. 

     

    I'm guessing a few TV viewership records will be broken. Tuesday will be epic.

    Not that I want her to, but Hillary will win NC or FL and that will wrap things up early, imo.

     

    Trump's concession speech could be epic TV, though.

    After his recent run at the B.O. - very doubtful.   He also did Into The Woods for $1m for a weeks worth so even 3 years ago he was willing to do a  project for less.

     

    Even if it was a budget issue, they could have easily got some top notch veteran actors probably for less.  It looks like they're intentionally skewing toward the recently popular and young with some of these choices hoping it will bring in more audience.

    Is Josh Gad popular?

  4. Wow...

     

    "But, you know, at some point I have to say it. You know, I was falsely accused. You know, I went to court. And I sat in trial. You know, I was vindicated. I was proven innocent. I was vindicated. And I feel terrible that this woman isn’t here. You know, I feel terrible that, you know, her family had to deal with that. But as I sit here, an apology is — no."

    Because female audiences can't relate to fat actresses playing the leads in dramas, they must live vicariously through the hot actresses. Hollywood is just giving them what they want.

    Why couldn't Emily Blunt have put some weight on for the role?

     

    She didn't have to turn into Melissa McCarthy but she could have made her appearance fit the character a little bit.

    I just the read the Eastwood article. Loved it. 

    ESQ: Politically, you’re the Anti-Pussy party?

    ScottE: That’s right. No candy-asses.

    ClintE: Yeah, I’m anti–the pussy generation. Not to be confused with pussy.

     

    Yeah, that most likely helped him with the target audience for the film.

     

    I can't imagine many SJW college kids who have to run and hide in a safe space if a conservative speaker comes to campus (if they don't get that speaker's appearance cancelled) would have much interest in Sully.

    I don't know. I buy J-Law liking Chris Pratt. I don't buy Chris Pratt liking J-Law. I don't know why.

     

    The actual movie looks okay. Nothing special.

     

    From what I've heard from someone who's been in contact with both of them, that's probably spot on.

     

    Pratt is supposed to be a great guy.  Very untypical in Hollywood.  

     

    JLaw is a completely different person from the nice girl who made Winter's Bone.

    I hate that actresses once they hit forty have to alter their appearance.  I just read that Courtney Cox says she regrets getting work done

     

    They don't HAVE to, they CHOOSE to.

     

    And Zellweger just didn't try and look like a young version of herself, she  changed her face almost completely.  Of course, people were creeped out.

     

    Then she says nothing was done, lol.

     

    She can be a decent actress at times, but can also grate if onscreen too much.  I remember when I saw Cinderella Man, the audience was really into the film and would groan/sigh when she would  appear.  One of her worst performances, imo.
