  1. That bolded part in spades! They should have made a comic book version of Bonnie & Clyde.
  2. Sorry! Had to do it. Oh, and the trailer was okay. Nothing special. Although I am intrigued by what little it showed of Harbor. It looks like he will be a fun character.
  3. This is chick-flick extraordinaire, along the lines of Mama Mia, but with a greater theatrical history. I think it will do Greatest Showman numbers at the very least.
  4. I agree, it is weird that I said that. And your response to my weird post is weird. The whole conversation is weird. That's the point.
  5. So they couldn't cast a full-blooded Puerto Rican actress to play this part? Hollywood racism persists.
  6. Aquaman is an intensely stupid movie, with what should have been wondrous world-building moments, undercut by said stupidity. But it's still engaging, as well as fun and beautiful. I don't know how Wan managed that, but he did. And Momoa strutting around in the traditional Aquaman duds is worth the price of admission alone. Numbers!
  7. NUH UH!!! Just kidding. Fortunately, I have tickets to see it again tomorrow. If I learn that you're right, I'll buy you a cupcake. Only thing is, I'll have to eat if for you.
  8. EDITH is based on BARF, which Beck accused Stark of stealing from him, before summarily firing him. At least that's what I understood from the heavy exposition during Mysterio's victory party. I'll have to watch it again to be sure.
  9. I don't believe for a single second that Beck is dead. He's the master of illusion and EDITH is his technology. I think he tweaked EDITH to have it tell Parker that what he was seeing, a dead Beck, was real. Beck will likely be phase four's, and maybe five's, Loki.
  10. I don't understand why the respective studios decided to release Rocketman, Booksmart, and even MA during the summer. Those movies seem more appropriate for October - March than competing with tentpoles and blockbusters. I get the whole counterprogramming realm, but the current release dates really make no sense to me in the grand scheme of things.
  11. This doesn't seem like a movie most would want to see in the theaters during the summer. Maybe they should have given it a February release?
  12. I have a serious question for those of you who understand the ins-and-outs of tracking box office earnings. Endgame's opening weekend introduced us to uncharted territory by defying the "no movie can make 300m in it's OW" framework. With that being the case, can we really use the traditional understanding of a movie's legs when judging Endgame's week-to-week performance or is some sort of paradigm shift in order?
  13. LonePirate, I don't engage in enough conversations here at BOT to consider myself accustomed to how members typically communicate with each other, so I am legitimately baffled by your response to my post. My post had nothing to do with Endgame or any other superhero movie, but everything to do with how off-putting I considered Long Shot's trailer and, by extension, was agreeing with whomever I quoted that Lionsgate did a miserable job of promoting the movie.
  14. Movies like Long Shot aren't my cup of tea, but if they were, the trailer would have done nothing to entice me to see it. It left me with the impression that the movie is another routine schmuck-and-out-of-his-league-beauty-fall-in-love story with a loud sidekick thrown in to make an unfunny movie seem like it's funny.
