QT is now tied with Spike Lee for the "Director who should just make his movies and stop trying to be some kind of public figure" award.
It will get QT cred with his ultra liberal Hollywood pals,but not go over good with a good portion of the ticket buying public.
That does not even make sense. By being a Hollywood director of course he will be a public figure.
QT has the right to protest and he never even said anything against good cops. Maybe if they spent more time out reaching to the community and speaking against bad cops, QT wouldn't have to say anything.
This is just childish gang mentality.

The police should be more concerned with improving training and calling out police brutality among the ranks than re-fortifying their blue wall.

150 mins, right?
It could have been 30 minutes shorter. One particular car chase needed to be half as long.
-
Having seen the movie on Saturday, this is not a shock. The movie is just mediocre. Its not bad just half assed. It is also...WAAAAY to long.
-
I am very happy to hear this is good.
-
My screening was completely sold out and the line was across the street.
This opening is, amazingly, not that shocking. -

What scenes did he do that in?
SpoilerWhen they escape Blofield's facility in the dessert. He picked of about 4 guys as they were shooting directly at him in open.

I didn't see any elements of Austin Powers in the movie.. but obviously Austin Powers is way better.
The fact that Bond can walk in open space whilst 10 guys are shooting at him and he can pick each of them off one by one.
SpoilerIt was particularly bad when he escaped the villains lair in the desert.

The more I hear, the more I consider just skipping this one in theaters. The Scream 3 comparisons definitely aren't helping.
If you are a Bond fan I'd assume you will get some joy out of it. It's nowhere near as good as CR and Skyfall is better too (and I am not a fan of Skyfall, much).

The first set piece, and the train set piece, are good. The remaining set pieces range from average to dull.
The cinematography is beautiful in many scenes but the action itself is filmed with very little imagination. The finale is total shit. It felt like it was from a Austin Powers movie.

It really is like Scream 3. That's is the best comparison....right down to the attempt of linking all the movies together.
I've never been a Bond fan but I enjoyed Casino Royale. It felt like a different take on the classic Bond, but now they are trying to be both a classic Bond movie and a dark broody movie too.

The buddy I saw this with likes pretty much everything and even he thought it was a slog.
This is going to be one of those IM2/Thor 2/Spider-Man 3 'Wait, this actually got good reviews?" movies.
It's not a bad movie, it just offers nothing new. It almost feels like a satire of previous bond movies. The best action sequence was the train fight and even that has been done better in previous Bond movies.

Surprisingly average. It starts of well, but drowns in its own self-importance.
6/10

Just seen it. Meh! It's way too long. It starts of decent but gets dull mid way through.

Katie was groomed from basically birth to be the liason between Toby and the witches. She was taught how to communicate with Toby, who is basically a demon trying to take life form. To do so, he needs two kids who were born on the same day, and Hunter and Leanne, the kid in the movie, were both boron on 666, June 5 2005. He needs their blood, according to a prophecy, to take life form. Katie and Hunter were taken in by the coven and Hunter was used to get his blood. Katie disappeared never to be seen again. She is presumed to be with the witches. Although she was a major character in the first two films, she's not really needed in this one as it explains everything that happened to her as a kid and as an adult.
Errr! I guess that explains some of it...kinda. Definitely not worth the price of a ticket, though.

Have you been reading?
No. Like MOST people I don't care about this franchise anymore
You're aware of the release problems due to new strategy?
It's a copout. If they thought it would be a success they would have never released it on VoD so fast
Of course it won't have as much marketing and will be the lowest grosser. Only to be expected with that theatre count.
Again. Cop out excuse. The last installment should have been the highest grosser. If they thought they had a big hit they would have marketed it better and released it on VoD months later.
-
I can't believe how underplayed paramount has been with marketing this last installment. It's literally being dumped without a care. Will easily be the lowest grosser in the franchise.
-
Spectre will likely have big licensing deals for TV rights, VOD and home entertainment sales so it'll still be profitable even if it doesn't crack $1bn.
Given the amount of products that are using Bond in their advertisements like Heineken, Sony, Omega etc it's still a huge brand.
Exactly. I'm sure Spectre, like most James Bond movies, makes its production budget back from sponsors alone.

I think horror, as a genre, will soon be a VOD release only genre. Its probably more financially smart to release it this way.
-
I wonder if this boycott is happening in international markets?
I seen the trailer here in the UK before The Visit.
Is it even being released here in the UK?
How the mighty have fallen. This was a huge franchise, at one point.
-
We already know how it ends, so there is no suspense in the only scene worth watching.
-
The only time I enjoy Sam Smith is when he is featured on a Disclosure track.

I'm in.
It looks like it can be a runaway hit.

We need another 'Scream'...not a sequel but a horror movie which gives the genre a much needed kick and connects with general audiences. No more found footage, its been milked to death.

I said this exact same thing you just did yesterday when they were showing the CNN Headline over it and Cmasterday nearly had a fit over it as well as other people.. The theatre I go to has security, whether it's this movie or any other movie.. I see nothing wrong with the way they reported that yesterday on CNN or FOX that causes such a knee jerk reaction around here to the point where 9 times out of 10, the thread is ultimately locked because of it..
The CNN storyline was so stupid it almost dropped my IQ by 10 points.
It was ignorant.

Yep, this gives me full confidence in the US police system. What a idiot.
