BOM still hasn't updated their site past Friday's numbers? :/

Not the biggest fan of Jlaw, but Aronofsky is a great director and The Wrestler and Black Swan are amazing movies, so I'm really psyched for this.

Love that new avatar.

I don't understand what you're saying here, because Kingsman is a good movie.

No way, saying she's horrible is crazy. She's also really good in Garden State, V for Vendetta, and Closer.

No, Harley is easily the best (only?) good part of the movie. Deadshot was good too, but way below Harley. And they ruined Joker with all the cuts. No wonder Leto was so pissed. And the writing was atrocious. It was more fun and better than BvS, but could (should) have been way better. Unlike BvS though, I am really looking forward to the director's cut, with all the Joker scenes and Joker/Harley backstory parts. C- and only because Harley was so good. Robbie is perfect as her.

Holy shit that's a terrible drop/Sat #!

Ah ok, yeah that lower Sat # made it too hard to fudge a better Sun hold...so they should have just fudged the Sat # too! ha

THIS is the number they decide to not fudge on lol. Just make it $60m.

@Gopher the soundtrack/score is pretty damn great, so is that even a second redeeming element for you?

Is that legit? I've heard conflicting reports on if that whole witchcraft angle and them sacrificing virgins to stay young is really in an early draft. Trying to find any interviews with NWR to confirm.

Good, FTSGO. Is that a thing yet?

you rang?

Oh yeah, Fanning was great. Especially since she was only 16 years old, very impressive performance. It's definitely a movie that stays with you, which I love. I definitely want to see it again, so hopefully it comes out on blu-ray soon.

Great review Baumer and I agree with a lot of it. I just saw it yesterday and it definitely sticks with you! The visuals and music are hypnotizing and NWR has such a great style for visuals. I was so glad this was way better than Only God Forgives, which was such a letdown to me (minus the visuals) after the excellent Drive (which I love). The first I'd say hour and 10 minutes of this I loved, but then NWR does go off the deep end a little (which seems to be his new thing) and the last half hour of craziness brings the film down a little for me, but it's still a solid B/B-. There were only like 8 people in the theater when I saw it, but the necrophilia scene (specifically when she spit in the corpse's mouth) made one couple walk out lol. I imagine that happened in al ot of theaters, but obviously they didn't know the director and what they were getting into. The opening shot and music was also a, whoa I'm in for something very cool and different here, and I also loved the scene where she was the closing model for the runway show and has her sort of Black Swan transformation and goes all innocent blue to demon red (though that transformation happened a little too fast for me, but it's only a 2 hour movie so what are you going to do). I also kept thinking why doesn't she use some of the modeling money she should be getting and get the fuck out of the shitty motel! And I know you didn't want to spoil the ending in your review but I loved But yeah, if you can deal with a little craziness and a few fucked up scenes, it's a real visual treat and journey worth taking. Some will say it's trash, and yeah it's not for everyone, but I think it's worth it if you're into a little weird and out there movies. Think Black Swan meets Mulholland Drive meets (mainly the visuals of) Only God Forgives. Edit: Upping to a B/B+ It really does stick with you and I want to see it again.

Isn't the budget like $150m though? And that's without marketing.

I assume the acronym joke of Big Flopping Giant has already been made?

Whatever is going on with the dudes head/neck in this gif is freaking me the hell out

Yup, totally agree.

3 tickets to the movie in the water starring that blond haired woman please.

Oh yeah that's right. At first I was like $17m Fri ain't bad...but then realized it was only $13m. Ouch

Yeah exactly. It's a terrible #, I'm not sure why some are saying otherwise.

It's ironic though how a "stupid cartoon" has the obvious, simple answer to your hate of Pixar:
