SLAM!

Now, Gintama is a special case in my opinion. The series delves into some pretty absurd humor that I wouldn't necessarily say is entirely appropriate for an audience of children. Young adults, maybe, I'll give you that. But I'm sure there's a lot of parents who wouldn't allow their children to watch or read that particular series. I wouldn't be so quick to label anime as a whole as "Japanese children's cartoons", because there are a lot of anime series that deal with extremely mature themes, such as Neon Genesis Evangelion and Full Metal Alchemist. I think even Bleach has a compelling underlying theme in its most iconic arc. Long story short, if you went to Crunchyroll expecting every single show you see to be a children's show, I'd say you're in for a rude awakening for maybe a third, or even half, of the time.

Inside Out really is a masterpiece!

Are you sure there isn't any more time for the Metacritic score to rise higher than that? I'm sure that, if there's more critics out there, they can cause an increase. Even if it wouldn't rise much, every bit would help, right?

Well, the stories of both films ring true regardless of the political affiliations of their audiences, but I'm sure this will definitely be a successful film. I lean a little bit towards conservatism, but I think this film is important nonetheless, and I definitely want to see it in theaters.

I think the fact that Super Troopers 2 is standing a chance to be in the Top Ten with less than 500 theaters is incredible. It's got some competition nipping at its heels, but it's exciting for sure.

I've nevee seen the first Alien film... there are just way too many films I haven't seen to be honest.

This is really exciting! I can't wait to see what films are there! Amadeus was my #3 film but it probably won't be on the list... and that's okay!

You have a great point. Donnie Yen helped Rogue One, while Kelly Marie Tran didn't help The Last Jedi. I'll add that to the top of the cons.

I watched Aliens on Syfy once and it was a great experience.

...Well, to me, it's not. Here's one of the many reasons why it wouldn't be.

Well, I just watched the red band trailer, and I can say with confidence that I will not be seeing this.

1. Solo: A Star Wars Story 2. Hereditary 3. Ocean's Eight 4. Hotel Artemis 5. Upgrade 6. Won't You Be My Neighbor? 7. The Incredibles 2 8. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom 9. Sicario: Day of the Soldado 10. Sanju

After watching the international trailer, I think the new John Cho film, Searching, will be successful enough in China to do over $100M in that country alone. Here's a rundown of pros and cons: Pros -The film looks to be a unique and engaging thriller that could certainly entice audiences. - John Cho's character and his family being of the Asian ethnicity will ensure that the main characters feel relatable to the audience in China. - The film has already garnered festival prestige. Cons - China largely follows their own actors, John Cho is not a chinese star, and this is not a Chinese production. - The film might need excellent word of mouth. Judging from the quality of the film, that may not be an issue. - Small scale films have a small scale at the box office until proven otherwise. I guess. I figured this would be a good way to judge how a smaller non-Chinese film could gross in China if casted correctly. It could say a lot about the market. IN Slambros OUT

I'm very happy Princess Mononoke made the list! It is absolutely a film that deserves to have a spot! Nothing less than a masterwork.

Thank you, man.

I mean, it's not like romantic comedies were ever really proven to have died off entirely. I mean, just less than ten years ago, 500 Days of Summer and Crazy Stupid Love were doing just fine. I think they simply stopped making them after a few flops, causing a premature, artificial, undeserved death of a genre. I'm personally holding out hope that this revitalizes the genre.

Hey everyone. I wanted to let everyone here know that one of my family's dogs went missing earlier today. The dog was let out for five minutes in a gateless yard, and he just ran off. I know this is a shot in the dark, but if there is anyone out there who wants to help pray for our dog's return, I welcome you to do so. Thank you for listening and thank you in advance for any help that is received.

I think I agree here. 2018 seems to be a competitive year in regards to auteur films, with a variety of heavyweight contenders such as Damien Chazelle and Spike Lee, and I think it'll be enough to push Coogler out of contention for Best Director.

I have already made a thread for this film to be honest...

There's a lot of comedies coming out in August (The Spy Who Dumped Me, Dog Days (to an extent), Crazy Rich Asians, and The Happytime Murders). But the good news is that this film isn't directly competing with any of them on the same weekend -- in fact, it'll be the only comedy on its own weekend. And recent weekends have sort of proved that comedies can coexist with each other theatrically under the right circumnstances; Blockers, I Feel Pretty, Super Troopers 2, Overboard, and Life of the Party are all doing relavitely well in a fairly crammed comedy landscape (although both I Feel Pretty and Life of the Party only have themselves to blame in regards to their ridiculously inflated budgets). This film looks cheap, so it may not have to do much to be a sleeper hit. And you know what? While it does look a bit dull, it does seem fairly harmless to me. I'm open to a pleasant surprise here, even if there's a really, really, really, really low chance of one.

I'm all for the unexpected resurgence of romantic comedies, but this would have to receive good reviews for me to be interested in it. Keanu Reeves seems to be giving a charmingly subdued performance here. I think if there's anything wrong with what I saw in the trailer, it's some stale directorial choices.

Releasing the trailer next to a Star Wars film isn't a half-bad idea, to be honest.

Maybe it'll be definitive for the Autumn season, but I think A Quiet Place took hold of Spring, and I think Hereditary will take hold of summer. And I heard that Hereditary is supernatural as well...

It's received a very confusing set of changes in its expansion schedule, but I really like its new nationwide date. It is now opening with Skyscraper and Hotel Transylvania 3, so it should be able to counterprogram nicely. Plus, if buzz begins too early, it could die out when it comes time for the film to actually be released. Now that buzz is increasing pretty fast, an earlier date could end up bring beneficial. Plus, it's doesn't have to directly compete with Blindspotting anymore.
