  1. I'll believe it when I see it. The first movie was so friggin good, imo. The video and posters are getting me excited.
  2. Dang. Sorry to hear that. That's still good enough in my book so I'll see it tomorrow.
  3. Trippy video. I really like it. Better than the Suicide Squad vidoes, imo. Now, Paramount needs an awesome soundtrack w/ Transformers including a cover of...
  4. Secret Life of Pets 83% w/ 6.3 avg The Conjuring 2 79% w/ 6.6 avg The Shallows 74% w/ 6.3 avg Not as bad as Free State of Jones being about the same rating as Purge but having 27% lower rating, but a 9% gap w/ the same average is pretty funny too. It shows that Secret Life of Pets is getting more passing grades rather than stellar ones I guess...
  5. Speaking of critics, RT is so damn fun... Purge the Election Year: 71% w/ avg 5.7 BFG: 70% w/ avg 6.4 Central Intelligence: 66% w/ avg 5.7 X-Men Apoc: 48% w/ avg 5.7 Free State of Jones: 44% w/ avg 5.5
  6. Her net worth is only $50 million. This is rather poor considering Bill Cosby's net worth is 400 million. Bill Cosby should star opposite of Pratt (net worth @20 million fyi).
  7. Horror, gore, violence are trending up on RT. They often get different reviewers than tentpoles and dramas. I liked how the first one all took place in the same house, but this one will probably be more like the 2nd.
  8. 1. YouTube comments are a source of entertainment until you realize these people are a part of the society you depend on. 2. My favorite response to using age-appropriate music "which song from the future would you pick?" 3. I'm just excited studios are coordination with music producers to get original soundtracks. Top Gun was infinitely better with Berlin. Heck, the soundtrack doesn't even have to be original. Ghost w/ Unchained Melody. Supposedly an AI was created to mimic the internet. It was shut down for instigating too much hate.
  9. Have young people ever been a major fraction of the income for blockbuster dramas? Dances With Wolves made over 180 million in 1990. That'd be 375 million adjusted. I think teens were forced to watch that movie in history class in the 90s, lol. True, but I'm looking more at the dramas that can't get past 100 million. No blockbuster dramas exist outside of American Sniper. Also, Ninja Turtles are how popular with kids these days? Seems like it's below Sponge Bob which is also old-hat compared to Gravity Falls.
  10. How much influence does easy-access, high-quality illegal downloads coupled with higher ticket costs have on box-office trends? The most successful movies seem to have target audience average age of 10. Going to the movies = taking the kids or bringing a date? No kids, no date = download at home?
  11. He said considering the RT score. Even without the RT score, the OS would have favored CW imo. RT score has much stronger effect on DOM.
  12. Hollywood needs to make more quality cartoons is probably what he meant to say. Quality dramas come and go at the limited-release theaters. Sing Street is the best movie I saw this year and its grand total is a little more than this weekend's Warcraft. Nice Guy's total was shattered by ID2's opening weekend. Keys o winning the critics: 1) do not offend, 2) strong aesthetic, 3) humor, 4) action, and 5) something cute. Hit all five for $$$$.
  13. The 90s fostered alternative music. Is it cool to hate on Nirvana? Pearl Jam? Also, movie soundtracks were infinitely better. Aeorosmith, Seal, Celine Dione?
  14. Bourne has a good chance at beating Pitch Perfect 2. While CI and TCJ2 will come under the total of San Andreas and Mad Max, Suicide Squad alone could beat their combined DOM.
  15. FiOS! Another way see it as... By the end of the summer, Disney 2016 > Disney 2015, Fox 2016 >>> Fox 2015, WB 2016 >>>WB 2015, Sony 2016 > 2015. That just leaves Universal, and Jurassic World turned out to be their near Star-Wars level event. Even still, Universal hasn't been doing that well this year, but Purge, Pets, and Bourne will assure July for them.
  16. Yeah, 2016 isn't as bad as people are making it out to be. Pets and Suicide Squad are sure to pass 200 million. Ghostbusters, Star Trek, Bourne, and IA5 will all pass 100 million hopefully. At this time last year, the remainder of the summer had only Ant-Man, Minions, MI, and SOoC left. The biggest difference between last year and this year was Jurassic World. That's a pretty huge difference in terms of $$$$$, but it's just one, really really big movie. And you never know, maybe Legend of Tarzan and BFG will do better than what's being predicted. In other words, at least ID2 > T:G.
  17. If you include top 20, 2012 was the year the popular drama last thrived... 2015 The Martian (ranked 8, if you count it as such), The Revenant (13) 2014 American Sniper (ranked 1) 2013 American Hustle (ranked 17), Gatsby (18) 2012 Lincoln (13), Django (15), Les Miserables (18), followed soon by Argo, Silver Linings Playbook, Life of Pie, Zero Dark Thirty There are some, but yeah, the drama has become rare. Studios or the American public seemed to stop caring in 2012. I'm curious to see if any serious drama will cross 200 million this year. A way to look at it is...the popular dramas are still making about the same amount of money, but there are a lot more tent-pole blockbuster types, which also include many more animated films. Soon, the top 10 might just be animated films. If a studio just wanted money, they'd concentrate on animated blockbusters and 100 low-budget horror movies.
  18. Just watched a nearly sold out 7PM showing for Shallows. Stars of the movie: Blake Lively's ass, the nature, and the bird. If this movie makes bank, Lively's ass and the cinematographer who followed it so closely, at so many different angles, should get a raise.
