Gods of Egypt | Feb 26, 2016 | IMAX release confirmed
75Live replied to Neo's topic in Box Office Discussion
yep, he is in a bunch of the tv spots...and maybe one of the trailers, if I remember correctly -
yeah other than this one idiot which didn't ruin the movie thank goodness, it was pretty quiet. I don't think it is the most shocking ending ever, but it could be considered shocking to some yes

i'll just say I am older than 20 I didn't hate IF at all, I hated the experience I had so I couldn't enjoy it like I should have

-

Deadpool: the best Marketing Strategy since the internet era?
75Live replied to vc2002's topic in The Speakeasy
Yeah for those that weren't around for it, they may not get how awesome the marketing was. I know you were around It was the first one to use the Internet to get people interested by making people think the movie was real. Fake articles, missing persons posters, everything was just on point and incredible -
I can definitely see where you and Tele are coming from. I told a friend about the movie who was not interested at all, then I told him they marketed it wrong and the movie actually has a subtitle of the old New England Folk tale and he perked right up saying he would see that kind of movie about "salem", etc and how they felt at the time. But I think they knew that wouldn't sell completely to a wide audience. but yeah one of my "gripes" was it was a bit uneven with where it wanted to go, but I just went along with it all

Deadpool: the best Marketing Strategy since the internet era?
75Live replied to vc2002's topic in The Speakeasy
While I agree that the marketing was great, I wouldn't say the best, I still say Blair Witch has that honor, but Deadpool is up there too so it's not a shot at all. I loved what Deadpool did the entire way so I am in with you on how great the marketing was. -
Agreed. But I guess it has me a little intrigued too.
-
Yeah I was about to say, I have seen a tv spot for this at least 3 times a day for a while now.

The Witch | February 19, 2016 | The new indie horror darling
75Live replied to The Stingray's topic in Box Office Discussion
well I am not saying it is the same as If Follows but I think it is more atmospheric like that and another film I want to say, but I can't It's definitely not going to be a universally liked film so there's still a 50/50 shot you may brutality hate it -
BATTLE OF THE BLOCKBUSTERS - 2016 Edition - WINNER: THE LION KING
75Live replied to AniNate's topic in The Speakeasy
ELITE EIGHT (Deadline February 27) Raiders of the Lost Ark vs. Back to the Future Star Wars IV: A New Hope vs. The Godfather The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King vs. The Lion King Jaws vs. Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back man this was the toughest round so far for me -
I guess I'll be the opposing view I liked it, but I can definitely see why people won't It is literally a re-telling of old time witch stories from early US history. It is even based on some of those stories that used to be told. So in a way, it really isn't current horror, just more of a study of how people were back then and how they saw the world. Of course, they do add in some supernatural stuff that is "real" as opposed to say The Village where it was just all made up. So taht part is partially still in the horror genre. The story is a complete build up and a lot like Blair Witch where you are following a family basically going through hell and them breaking down and not trusting each other. In the end, there really are witches and the devil that tortures this family all the way to the point that the only remaining surviving member takes the devil's offer and becomes a witch herself So overall, it's more atmospheric and creepy as opposed to jump scares and gore. I give in probably a B+, or at least no lower than a B

The Witch | February 19, 2016 | The new indie horror darling
75Live replied to The Stingray's topic in Box Office Discussion
Ok I just got back and yeah I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed due to the marketing and such. I actually do like it, but it's not at all what they are trying to sell. I can't say too much because it maybe too close to spoiling stuff but it is definitely more psychological, as already said by others, and it is more creepy and thought provoking. It's not gory, no jump scares really, well maybe one Someone asked if it was hard to hear people or something like that, and no, it's very clear, but for some, getting used to the olde time English may take a few minutes. But I do get why it has the low Cinema score, as this is definitely not for everyone, as it will be slow for some people. So yeah, if you are looking for some jump scare, gory kills and all that, this is not the movie for you I wrote up more in the review forum -

75Live replied to The Stingray's topic in Box Office Discussion
I think because usually critics don't get why most horror fans like horror films so when one comes out that is nothing like those movies, critics like it. But the horror base won't because it's not what they want. or at least that is my take on the whole thing -
there you go
