I don't even...I haven't been this disappointed in a movie since, who the fuck knows. Maybe Crystal Skull? Anyway, it was just so, so, so bad. Batman and Superman deserve so much better. MoS was way better than this (I liked MoS fwiw). I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't hit $1b ww now, it may tank hard after this weekend. Sigh...I'm done for the night. Don't want to think about it anymore.
Loved it until the ending. I knew there would be a sci-fi twist, I just didn't like it. John Goodman was fantastic though and MEW was great too.
It also totally seemed like they made the movie and then afterwards the studio or JJ was like hey, let's throw 10 Cloverfield on the mailbox and change the title. Which obviously worked as this movie probably wouldn't have even made $25m total, let alone ow, without it in the title. I also read JJ or someone mention a possible "trilogy" of sorts, that may somewhat tie all three movies together, which I would def love so hopefully they make a final "Cloverfield" movie.
B for me.
People like going out to see a movie. Hell I have Spotlight on blu-ray but if some friends asked me to go catch it this weekend in theaters I probably would lol.
lol you don't compare a $45m cult classic to a $400m blockbuster. Something like Anchorman 2 or Dumb and Dumber to yeah, but even those were way more popular than Zoolander.
Top 10, in no particular order:
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Ex Machina
Inside Out
The Martian
Mad Max: Fury Road
The Revenant
Spotlight
The Big Short
The Hateful Eight
Creed
Still haven't seen a lot of movies I want to though: Carol, Room, Anomalisa, Trumbo, Steve Jobs, Brooklyn, Sicario, Black Mass, Bridge of Spies and Straight Outta Compton.
It's cool we have a time traveling cave man on this site...I mean, what fucking year is this? Using gay as an insult, ffs, is JonathanLB from the 1950's? And is he really too dumb to understand how other people like different things than he does?? lol get a clue man.
Also, all the snow is going to kill the box office this weekend. New Yorker here and not looking forward to being buried in 1+ feet of snow all weekend...ugh.
Hahahahahaha what a joke. Can't wait for the Onion article: "George RR Martin hired for Avatar 2 script rewrite, says finally working with someone that gets him".
Yeah disappointed with no bp nom. Didn't many say it was locked since it was the all time domestic box office??? :/
This is like when TDK got snubbed, except they had two extra spots wasted this year for no reason.
I don't think the words Leo and easy Oscar winner can be put in the same sentence.
Oscar favorite sure, but this isn't Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs or DDL when he gave the goat performance and was a lock for TWBB, etc.
Also, great jump for TFA and excellent ow for The Revenant.
I've seen TFA 5 times now, enjoyed them all. Want to catch it one more time in the theaters (maybe 2).
My record though is for TDK…I honestly lost count/forgot how many times I saw it in theaters, but it was between 7-10.
