To this day, I can’t understand the couch jumping thing. How did a control freak like Cruise not realise that he was behaving like a maniac?
He did far more maniac things, such as believing in Scientology.

I always find it amusing when people say that Avatar isn't relevant, the story is playing itself out every single day here on Earth.

Pereira told the Associated Press these communities are aware of the cities and farms in their surroundings, but they often choose to isolate themselves due to traumatic experiences with the outside world.
External contact can often be deadly, ending in massacres or epidemics wiping out tribes. Last year, a group of illegal gold miners allegedly killed 10 people in an isolated community.
"If they wanted contact with the outside world, they would seek out ways to communicate with us," Pereira said.
Come on there was little to no Avatar memes on internet. That's what is the most important.

It’s criticizing the film for toting Asian representation as a landmark, however the cast is primarily East Asian and ignores a significant amount of the continent (people from Indian and Malay descent). The critics would like the word ‘Asian’ to not just mean Chinese (or Japanese/Korean).
The criticism isn’t invalid.
Should've gone with "Crazy Rich East Asians".

Moderation:
This is the fanboy thread, not the politics thread. Keep that stuff to the relevant subforum.
@dudalb has been threadbanned for one week for derailing the thread.
This makes me wonder what a Fanboy thread from a Politics website will look like. Will it be worse than this thread or not.
And BTW which field has the worst fanboys? Movies, Gaming, Politics?

Not that I've had any real doubt for weeks, but 600 is officially locked for I2 after this weekend hold. Depending on what the Labor Day expansion does for it, it may end up going up to 610. If it gets to 612, it will have the same post second weekend legs as Inside Out.
Three $600m+ films in one year.
I wonder when this record will be broken.

That's a great Fri number for the shark movie isn't it?
I bet @baumer is very proud of its performance.

Basically, they can’t afford to keep buying all those tickets at full price while only charging 9.99 a month. They’ve had to take out multiple loans just to cover the costs. Just this last Thursday the service went down because they couldn’t afford it lol. They had to take out a $5 million dollar loan.
Now they’re blocking access to seeing movies on opening weekend because it’ll cost them too much money.
That's what happens when these VCs (Venture Capital) smell the blood of an internet-based business model.
Here in China, you get a discount whenever you want to book a movie ticket using mobile phone apps. Basically the app companies lose money on every ticket they sell. The interesting part of this story is that this business has been going on for 5-6 years, and it looks like the game will continue for quite a while because the two biggest VCs (Alibaba and Tencent, who are also the two biggest internet-based companies in China) joined the game about 3 years ago, and these two have too much money.
As a result of that, right now about 90% of all movie tickets in China are sold online. That's also one of the key factors to China's crazy movie market growth in the last 5-6 years. In this case, it's safe to say that there're definitely some bubbles in the market.

Good to see a franchise started from the 90's (yes it's based on a much earlier TV series, but the movie started 90's) is still going strong 20+ years later.
I can't think of another pre-2000 one-key-character franchise (the same actor leading in all movies) that is still going strong. Maybe Rocky.

And who else tweets a lot and has that trait?
I have lost a certain amount of respect for Johnson with his tweets; his attempts to prove that a flop or underperforming film is a big hit are pretty silly; he's not fooling anybody, really.
Do you smell the saltyness The Rock is cooking.

@DAJK @vc2002.....let's be fair here. The Rock has been in movies since 2002. And he's been a headliner ever since. He's going to be headlining at least for another 4 years. That gives him a 20 year career and in that twenty years he's been one of the biggest draws/earners/in demand actors. Most actors would beg to have a career like he's had so far. He could basically fade away after 20 years in the business and he will still go down as one of the biggest stars of the last 30 years.
Arnold, Sly, Willis, they all had points in their career when they started to slow down. Arnold basically disappeared after he went into politics, Willis is doing straight to DVD stuff now and Sly had a period between 1994 and 2006 where he was an after thought. His career has turned around of course, but for about 12 years he really didn't have anyone seeing his movies. Ford is a bit different as he had a 30 year span where he was on top. But the point is, even if the Rock all but disappeared after 2022, after 20 years of being on top, he's had a terrific career matched by very few in the business, ever.
His films might not all be smashing successes, but besides Leo, who's are?
Denzel? Nope.
Pitt? Nope
Pratt? Possibly, but he's still kind of in his infant stages of super stardom.
JLaw? She's already slowing down.
So I'm just saying that yes, he will fade out eventually, but what a run he has had already.
Well, if we look at this as a defending post, that's kind of a false defending isn't it? No one here denies The Rock has been massively successful in movies right? It's like responding to "Justin Bieber is a dipshit for doing a lot of dipshit things in his non-singer life." by saying "Hey look at what a magnificent singer's career he has."
Not that Bieber is comparable to The Rock tho.
BTW don't hate me on this, but Justin Bieber sings better than The Rock acts.

He's no Stallone, but I'd say The Rock can act at least a little better than Arnold. The two are eerily similar though, and I don't doubt Rock's fame is going to fade quick. But that point is at least a decade or two away.
I definitely agree. His pro wrestling job required a huge amount of on stage acting and that's definitely a good preparation for his movie career. But like Arnold, he started the acting career at a rather old age, long passing the age when you can really elevate your acting skill through systematic learning. IMO Arnold's best "personal" movie is Conan the Barbarian and his acting didn't improve at all since then. The same could be said on The Rock and The Scorpion King.
Not that The Scorpion King is as nearly good as Conan tho.

I imagine it would make no sense for a movie star to be natural (or what that would mean in 2018), but it is not a Arnold/Hogan 80s steroid era either, more advance technology and technic and unlike an Arnold does not need to do those drastic water/fat lost for competition every year, he should age more gracefully, they can take massive intake of steam cell to help recuperation and aging now and other advance stuff.
The Rock started his wrestling career in the late 90's. It's reasonable to assume he started taking steriod since then. Not exactly a highly-advanced steroid era. And, steroid today has been hitting bodybuilders harder than in Arnold's era. Bubble gut reachs new height each year.
He won't age as badly as Arnold did because he didn't need to take that much steroid and wrestling doesn't consume the body as hard as pro bodybuilding does. The Rock is 46, and he already looks better than Arnold at this age (1993). But, steroid will take effect no matter what.
