    Number 171

    A Silent Voice (2017, Naoka Yamada)

    a-silent-voice.gif

    A knew this one would make the 100 but still used 40 points on it 

     

    10. A Silent Voice (40 points, 400 total)

     

    One of my other top 10 films has already appeared and I'm sure 7 of the 8 remaining films in my top 10 will make the 100, Your Name (another anime film) I have a feeling may also miss the top 100 though :( at least Spirited Away will show up so not a complete waste of anime in my top 10. 

     

    Because I know people will be curious here is the top 10 (order didn't matter as they all got the same points)

     

     

    1. Empire Strikes Back (40 points, 40 total)
    2. Finding Nemo (40 points, 80 total)
    3. Jurassic Park (40 points, 120 total)
    4. Spirited Away (40 points, 160 total)
    5. Parasite (40 points, 200 total)
    6. Your Name (40 points, 240 total)
    7. Pirates: Dead Man’s Chest (40 points, 280 total)
    8. The Lion King (40 points, 320 total)
    9. LotR: Return of the King (40 points, 360 total)
    10. A Silent Voice (40 points, 400 total)

  2. As I said hard to get this down to 100, mainly just wrote down a bunch of movies and got it down to a final 100 and then shuffled around a little bit so I did not worry about exact rankings so much as the brackets of 1-10, 11-30, 31-50 and 51-100 all received the sam amounts of points

     

    Anyway here is the list:

    So JWD is available for free to Apple TV users? 

    No it costs extra, same for Elvis and Crawdads in the future. 
     

    It just happens to be available on Apple TV which is a digital market for movies same as Amazon, Vudu, Google Play etc. 

  4. Knowing people that worked on Rings of Power I can't imagine it being good, but then again sometimes troubled productions do true out good to great and I hope I'm wrong as I'm a big Fantasy and big LotR film fan. 

     

    House of Dragon looks good from the trailer but I'm skeptical on that as well although less than RoP as it is more of a gut feeling then anything I've heard about behind the scenes. 

     

    So hopefully at least one of them turns out good but I would not be shocked if both disappoint.

    nor did I? 
    what a bizarre time we’re in. 
     

    ‘Go see it in theatres now, but it’s coming free to our app soon!’  Lmao 

     

    It isn't coming free it is a paid VOD rental/purchase, the same way they market Jurassic World 3 or Elvis, nowhere does it say free just that is it coming or out now. 

     

     

     

     

     

    Some of you all just hate streaming with such passion that it messes with your reading comprehension 😜

  6. A lot of rookie number numbers on theatrical rewatches

    I would say ESB and Jurassic Park I've seen over 20 times in cinemas although both are from rereleases only. 

     

    Here is a list of films I’ve seen 10+ times in cinemas

     

    Star Wars OT

    Jurassic Park

    The Lion King

    Spirited Away

    LotR trilogy

    Finding Nemo

    Revenge of the Sith

    Dead Man’s Chest

    Inside Out

    The Force Awakens

    Moana

    Your Name

    The Last Jedi

    Mission Impossible Fallout

    Parasite

     

    Again a lot from rereleases over the years, but don't think any will add to the list anytime soon as ticket prices have over doubled for me :( up until 2019 I got student prices where you paid $10 a year and got $10-15 tickets depending on format pricing now for adult tickets is $20-30+. from 2015-2019 I was going to the cinema twice a week if not more now I think this year I've been less than 20 times so far.

    I know Nope will be backloaded but Philly having Nope sub $4M ain't great look. Though I suppose if Eric use comps Porthos is using, those may be bigger.

    Nope on par with Scream and under Halloween Kills in Philly seems like a bad sign considering a black directed and black cast should be over indexing, I know there might have been a fan rush given scream and halloween are franchises but Jordan Peele I feel is a pretty decent sell for a horror movie at this point, hopefully it has a strong last few days sales.

    Here in NC you’d have to look up crayfish because crawdad is all we know. I guess it checks out that the book is set here.

    Makes sense, regional variations like that are always interesting.

    Does anyone even sing in the movie?

    I have no idea, I guess the implication of the title is that the crayfish make a noise that sounds like singing but I have not seen the movie and likely won't watch it. 

  9. So Lyle, Lyle Crocodile is the singing crocodile film with Shawn Mendes who I'm not familiar with (have heard the name couldn't name a song) but guess Eric is a fan.

     

    Where the Crawdads Sing author's stepson and partner are wanted for information in relation of the killing of a man (who they claimed was a poacher) on an ABC broadcast in the 1990s... wild stuff. 

     

    Also a crawdad is a regional name for a crayfish in parts of the US. 

     

    The more you know.
