I`m stomping Tauriel and Kili pictures now and screaming.

I`M NOT SARCASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!START TAKING ME AND THE LEGEND SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My plan is to see Les Mis and Django back to back but I`m not sure I cna make it. I`ll miss my medication time because evening med makes me drowsy and I`ll be at the cinema. What to do?

I`m totally NOT sarcastic. Finnick over Kili the beard-less dwarf (bahahahahaha, I`d applaud them if bread-less meant out of the closet but, no, they`ll give him aunty Tauriel for love interest as if he`s a gigolo or somethin) any day!

It`s dead for DoS and TABA because they cast Wrinkles from Lost instead of a young smooth-skinned 20something that yputh cna relate to and older crowd want to be like.

Oh, I so hope CF increases so much it beats TH OS and WW too. And Aidan Turner is going to have worse career than The Claf. Stick it loser! You left your TV show where you were a big fish in a small pond for a thankless shit role in TH because you want to be aplankton in the ocean. Serves you right. Legend Claf FTW! Just wait when Claf gets rave reviews. Nobody`s talking about Turner because Bombur upstaged him. Yee-haa!

I tossed all my L`Oreal products into garbage bin when I saw this: Young girls are not gonna relate to that over: Suck it Philippa! Jen and Katniss win! Suck it!

I`m not. They added that made-up character because Katniss is so popular so they had to have an archer chick. Everything now has an archer chick because of Katniss. Why didn`t they have one before Katniss,eh? Arwen could have been an archer instead of a sword-wielder. So this fuckin old Mary Sue is supposed to steal THG audience. Hell no. Oh hell no. Not gonna happen.

TAURIEL WILL NEVER EVER REPLACE KATNISS IN GIRL`S HEARTHS YOU HEAR ME???????????? NEVER!!!THE ONLY REASON WHY I DIDN`T RAG AGAINST THIS STUPID MARY SUE CHARACTER IS BECAUSE SHITTOWIMP FANGIRLS ARE AFFRAID SHE`LL STEAL SHITTOWIMP`S THUNDER ALTHOUGH ARWEN HAS ALREADY STOLEN IT SINCE SHE WAS THE MOST POPULAR FEMALE CHARACTER FROM LOTR MOVIES. BUT THEY WANT TAURIEL TO STEAL KATNISS THUNDER AND I FREAKIN WON`T ALLOW IT WTF THEY THINK THAT 34 YEARS OLD TV C LISTER FROM HAIR SHAMPOO COMMERCIAL IS GOING TO BE MORE POPULAR THAN JLAW THE DOUBLE OSCAR NOMINEE AND BONE FIDE LEADING LADY????? HA,HAH,HA, FUCK YOU SMAUG!

I`m rooting for TH movies to underperform because a) that prevents awards nominations and they already won everything so enough is enough others should shine and because actors won`t be hyped as next big things so my men won`t have to fend off some undeserving wannabes.

Well, maybe this one gets away but I sure hope the ones that try to cash in on Katniss craze become real Flopbits.

Theaters are open around the year. No holidays for staff. Thetaers are never closed.

Still happy that TH couldn`t muster $7 mio. I can`t wait for the moment when it will be making under $1 mio daily.

LOTR was a 3 year non-stop hype. People were swept into it. They had no time to cool off because hype was 24-7. It`s different when you have to wait 2-3,etc years. It gives you time to put the distance and see if you trully care for something or you liked it because everyone seemed to like it and you were constantly bombared with messages that you should like it. Avatar sequel #1 will come after how many years of people putting the distance betwen them and first Avatar and deciding whether they still care or whether they trully cared at all first time.

Ok, that`s a valid point for sure. Same characters are more likely to draw more audience than new ones.I`m just noticing than some over-rpedix started so I want them in check,that`s all.

Shit, it didn`t go down as much as I hoped. DoS and TABA need some serious competition to take #1 in TH`s second weekend. Enough with getting away already.

Disagree. They are about equally known hence why WB is pushing his name in MoS promo. That ain`t for geeks only. More the pity that PJ is now sticking to the same formula and his range has gone to toilet. It`s worse when a rangey guy loses his range than when the one without it never aquire one. LOTR gave PJ exposure but took away his range because he`s scared to make movies differently, even when they obiviously require different approach. Because TLB is a prime example of lost range. How the fuck do you tell an intimate family drama as a SFX fest? He bloated the heaven part as if it was LOTR in heaven and that was just completely ridiculous. Worse, his visuals serve him well as long as he shoots NZ scenery but dear God, what a a garrish kitsch nightmare his CGI worlds are! Always that cotton candy puke sky (Rivendell, Skull Island, Heaven) , always 5 freakin waterfalls, always golden lighting, ugh, enough!

What`s good and what`s great is widely individual but what helped Avatar was that it was generally considered to be very good (between good and great).There` sno question about it.However, there`s something that Teardropmina said about LOTR that I think applies here as well. Many people were swept into LOTR hype, saw the movies, liked them but didn`t become long-term fans. Simply, when the hype died down, they shrugged it off and moved on, hence why TH isn`t posting kind of numbers expected if everyone who saw LOTR had become a fan. So I think that Avatar sequels should also take into consideration that there were people swept into the hype, who liked the movie but didn`t become long-term fans and may not care to show up for sequels. For those people, trilogy like TH or 2-3 more Avatar movies is overstaying their welcome.

Less than that guy who was nominated for Crash, less than Steven Daldrey. So, yeha, proof of Nolan inferiority indeed.Also,because Nolan is kicking PJ`s lazy ass in this poll, Jacksonites are trying to turn this poll into LOTR vs Batman trilogy to garner more votes for PJ although the poll is about OPUS not trilogies. I agree with this but the reason why Nolan is getting more votes is that his finish is clearly stronger than PJ`s. Ever since LOTR PJ completely lost range. All his movies, whether they need it or not, are epically long, epically bloated, CGI overwhelms the story, slo-mo is as oversued as anything post-300 Snyder. No range but applying LOTR formula even to a damn family drama such as TLB. There is no improvement but only regress. At least Nolan shows progress in shooting action.

His action is muddled and one can barely see what`s going on unless it`s a copter shot of CGI armies charging at each other. But close up fights are bad and dino stampede was an abomination.Also, while Nolan`s BB action was pure garbage he wastly improved and edited the shit out of Inception van dropping + different dream level action. Jackson can`t edit for shit which is why his movies are meandering and bloated as fuck. I`m sorry but milking the big moment until cow`s tit is dry by using devices of emotional manipulation such as slo mo and extreme close-ups of longing faces streaked with CGI tears (notice how his cry babies never have red eyes like people who cry for real?) has nothing to do with putting heart into anything. He`s a good manipulator but that doesn`t come from the script but visual presentation that forces someone to feel sorrow even if the content isn`t particulary good. KK is an awful movie with awful script but KK`s last moments make me sad not because it`s a good scene but because animal cruelty makes me sad.OTOH, I thought that character moments in BB (Bruce and his father, Bruce and Alfred), TDK (Bruce and Alfred, Harvey and Rachel) , Inception (Dom and Mal) , TDKR (anything Bruce and Alfred) were genuinly emotional without a need to have your audience pull their hair and scratch their faces in anguish. You cna keep smotional content moderate and still achieve an impact. Unlike PJ who won`t stop until his audience drowned in an auditorium filled with tears to the rooftop. Don`t forget that adapting Batman required more creativty than adapting books and remaking movies. PJ had to choose which scenes to keep and content that he made up was defacto weaker than the one coming from the source. OTOH, Nolan`s adaption didn`t follow a particular given narrative like a book but he had to combine various sources. So tougher job altogether.

Even with nose-dive after holidays? I hope it starts losing theaters rapidly because it has too many that work with less than half of capacity. Just drop off the face of the Earth already!

How`s Quentin`s run done? He isn`t an octogen.

For sure. They kept old budget projections as offical numbers although reshoots had to add to that budget.

They won`t be but they aslo won`t be anywhere as profitable as LOTR even though I don`t believe in the myth that each was made for under $100 mio. Impossible for movies that had reshoots.

Oh, no, not in terms of the Oscars.In general.
