True story: when Inception's third trailer was released in Russian it advertised it as being "from Christopher Nolon". It was a meme here for a while. -
Reviews do nothing to make me feel like raising my 40-45 OW/125-140 total prediction. A 160-minute plotless comedy-drama about the everyday life of a second-rate actor and his stunt double in 1969 doesn't strike me as an event movie for the GA, much as I'd like to be proven otherwise. Maybe it'll manage to open in the 50s due to sheer curiosity but then I'd expect weaker legs to follow.

This should shut certain people up.

A Hidden Life | Terrence Malick | Fox Searchlight
Jake Gittes replied to TalismanRing's topic in Box Office Discussion
Gonna guess a careful awards season rollout awaits. It might do better than Tree of Life commercially, being not so experimental, although then there's the length and lack of stars. Looking forward to it, anyway. -
Feel like a dunce for not remembering it earlier but c'mon emmys True Detective. If nothing else Ali should have it on lockdown.

Bad Boys II is both the best and the worst Bay movie.

It'll get even better.

UNDER THE SILVER LAKE

Us is the best-crafted wide release of the year.

John Wick 3 didn't double JW2. Flop.
-
A24 better not hold this back for over a year like they did The Witch. They don't have anything actually scheduled post July 12 so anywhere from August to October would be good.

Give Best Drama to the Deadwood movie as compensation for snubbing the original series.

Captain America The Winter Soldier To Be Like A Seventies Political Thriller

It's action as torture porn. I found it a lot more exhausting than e.g. the first Raid.

Malick's movies aren't all alike. Badlands is different from anything he's made in tone. Both it and Days of Heaven are short and more story-driven. Thin Red Line and The New World are genuine epics. Tree of Life and the subsequent three movies all work in their own significantly different mode.

Plenty of "cultured" people can't either and I'm sure some "uncultured" can and get things out of them. I don't think that's a useful dividing line especially when it comes to his work. You feel the connection or you don't.

Diner is wonderful too. I gotta seek out the other ones. This one just floored me. One of the best and wisest films about America, family and memory. I feel like if it came out today it'd be even more celebrated than the likes of Roma. But I'm glad Levinson got the chance to use that post-Oscar clout to make it when he could.

And also Indiana Jones is about to turn 77.

I think Knight of Cups is a masterpiece and Song to Song was his first weak movie ever so no real idea what to expect from this one especially after he promised it was a return to more conventional scripted filmmaking but then spent a couple of years editing it anyway. Cautiously excited though.
