  1. Well whenever someone says it's the same movie over and over, that's the. clue that they don't actually watch the movies.
  2. Jaws would be liked even today. I liked it a lot and I'm as much of a fun of newer blockbusters as anyone. But I don't agree that it's so much better than the blockbuster standard today.
  3. I don't get why people are shitting on the trailer. It looks pretty decent tbh.
  4. I feel like BvS had a ton of potential but the motivation for Batman and Superman fighting is ridiculously thin, the "Martha" moment is forced, and it devolves into a really bad final battle against a really boring Doomsday. I don't see how any reevaluation is going to change that. That said I thought Justice League was a big step below BvS even, so that does make it look better in hindsight.
  5. Not too different from Scary Stories Cinemark sales at that point fwiw.
  6. I really liked the hfr action scenes in this movie (I saw the Hobbit normal though). I guess that may be why I enjoyed it more than most.
  7. Well if that was all he had said, I doubt people would have a problem with it. I'd actually agree with him there. But the potshots at Marvel come off as dismissive and condescending towards those who don't share his tastes.
  8. Joker is doing phenomenally on its own but you can't replicate that for every DC movie. After all not every actor is Phoenix. Honestly I think they're doing fine as is. It's better for the genre to have DC and Marvel occupying different niches where DC does its own thing instead of rushing to create a sprawling interconnected universe (although I'm sure that will come later).
  9. My guess is Deadline bsed a number to fit their earlier projections. It's selling bonkers in my old local which was not one of the biggest for OW
  10. I did find it funny that a lot of people who said Scorsese shouldn't be criticized for his comments bc "free speech" immediately pivoted to "everyone who criticizes Scorsese's films is a dumb hick". Personally I think every opinion is up for criticism once offered, that's how free speech is supposed to work.
  11. I don't get where this idea that the MCU is all the same even comes from. I mean Infinity War and Endgame which were literally two halves of a story still felt totally distinct from each other. Just because the movies are family friendly doesn't mean they're the same, and I don't get why the R rating is fetishized so much by fandom.
  12. Neither is Japan... I get the impression that the combination of CBM fan audience and reception as a drama (drawing in non-CBM fans) is driving the explosion in Europe, since that region tends to be less enthusiastic about traditional CBM fare.
  13. Europe is the real overperformer here. Great numbers across the board but some amazing ones in Europe.
  14. He can do good things and still have said something elitist here. Having done great things doesn't make one immune from criticism. And "tastes don't gel" is one thing, but saying they're "not cinema" and "don't convey emotional, psychological experiences" is something else.
  15. Since Black Panther won ensemble SAG I can see Endgame getting it, but a Best Picture nom is a long shot (would be cool if it happened though).
  16. It will do 600 WW unless it falls off a cliff. OS is actually much stronger (relatively) than DOM from what I've seen.
  17. Scorsese's defenders are honestly acting much worse than him. So many comments basically implying people who like the MCU are stupid and blasting them for daring to criticize "the God himself". That's what annoys me more than his own remarks.
  18. Nope 85 would still be awesome for a movie of this budget. This is like saying TS4 is such a disappointment because it didn't do $200+ million yet how will it be viewed in a year's time? As a massive success.
