  1. Er....why is this happening? $30M OD?

     

    Anyway, I have seen people bringing up Selma and I just don't think mainstream USA wants to deal with that subject. It's the reason why there will be a string of Tamir Rice's and Eric Garner's for a while to come. 

     

    That should not distract from the success of AS which obviously had great marketing and really good reviews. I have never been a fan of wartime movies so I can't see myself seeing this in cinemas but I'll definitely check it out on Netflix. Maybe after the last major terrorist attack the country wants to see a movie about a "hero" who dealt with people who had the same ideology.

  2. Yep. I think this new avenue of streaming will kill the direct-to-dvd film business. I haven't purchased a DVD in at least a year. The convenience of downloading your movie straight to your laptop/pc/tablet/ps4/xbox etc.... is just too strong.

     

    Also, I think people forget how flipping popular Goblet of Fire was. It was probably the most easily accessible movie of the whole franchise. 

  3. The backlash against Skyfall has been almost as big as TDK's. Almost.

     

    One thing I would say to those that didn't care for the movie: don't expect the next to be much different. The producers have only ever changed the tone of the franchise when they really had to, and their desperation to have Mendes back suggests they're in no mood to shake things up just yet.

     

    I felt the same way now about Skyfall as I did when I first saw it. Good but noting I'd want to see again. The scene with the tube carriage alone pisses me off and less said about the giant CGI lizards the better.

  4. I will use the most overused word ever to describe Skyfall.....overrated. Its success was due to great marketing and being better than Quantum of Solice but dear God it was a misfire. A bland and underused villain, uneven action sequences and random plot conveniences. I still give it a 7/10 but it was nowhere near as good as Casino Royale.

     

    Spectre will easily have the biggest OW of the franchise but I don't see much, if any, increase OS and I don't know if it can maintain $300M DOM without 3D.

  5. Jesus guys, we have no idea what the plot is going to be. It could be just as great as the first three (or maybe not) but let's wait and see.

     

    No I want to be completely emo and tell PIXAR to fuck off. In all seriousness I grew up with Toy Story...it was the first movie I was completely obsessed with and each installment has come at different eras of my life. It ended perfect with a message of 'letting go' and moving forward. Making another sequel contradicts that.
