  1. season 5, then season 3 in that order in terms of epicnessrest are ok/goodthen seasons 6,7 were bad
  2. really loving this season (again as a non reader of the books) episode 5 is my 2nd favorite close up there with episode 3btw new high in viewers for the show, clearly there was no backlash from the shadow creature in episode 4 that got Renly
  3. Avengers is falling below 90% no question but still a high bar, some of you are really funny how fast you rush to judgmentinitial reviews are always trended positive and then regress
  4. the sex is graphic etc but some of those scenes achieve their job of setting tone, just from someone who hasn't read the booksnot saying I think it wouldn't be good without those scenes, but I enjoyed the Littlefinger exchange
  5. Monster crazy numbers, so much for it being mediocre. Pure profit coming...
  6. and 2011 was a horrible year in film by historical levels, so comparing it is not exactly fair or relevent
  7. let me be clear about what I mean regarding fluke, its a series that was hugely anticipated and would have drawn a huge opening in summer, winter or whenever it was releasedit also achieved a massive gross on a relatively low marketing and production budget which adds to its incredible statushow many movies recently can we say have achieved this on a first opening? fluke is an appropriate word to describe its place in BO history, not the project itselffurthermore, there are some huge budgeted summer films with massive expectations that obviously need to be met in some sense, so I'm sorry if I continue to look bigger picture on where the industry is headedtechnically as a "recession" it may end when the summer comes but we'll see where the business is in terms of tickets sold and inflation when summer is over like I mentioned in my first post
  8. THG is a fluke and even with Titanic 3D, we are headed toward a bad April and questionable summer even with TDKR and Avengerslet's see what happens by August before declaring the recession over
  9. this is a 2nd weekend in the spring, let's take $58.5M and look at it in historical comparison even with inflationagain massive crazy #, drop is irrelevant ALTHOUGH staying power seems to be diminishing slightly
  10. Opener was awesome, went a bunch of different directions but to be expected when trying to set the scope of the various kingdoms and their positions as war begins (and no I haven't read the books).Really excited to see where we go from here.
  11. I think in a vacuum we need to look at how these dailies look even with inflation, take away the % decrease, $10.2 is a fantastic Tuesday late March #lionsgate is rolling around in a huge money pile, well done
  12. In reality the film is still a little bit of an embellishment at times in terms of the real messageIf Sarah wasn't such a bitch, she would admit she was nowhere close to ready for national stage and was lucky to be Governor of any state. But still had great performances and captured I'm sure the cringeworthy mistake the McCain campaign made
  13. Monster weekend, hope this is a sign of things to come.
  14. The Artist should see some soft drops and good holds over the coming month obviously, started on Monday in comparison to the other films
  15. Saw The Artist today coming in with all kinds of questions and my simple reply B and correction is everyone should see it THEN post their personal opinionexpands to 2000+ theaters this weekend and its worth a look especially compared to the other trash released the over the course of the previous year
  16. The ArtistCineArts, Pleasant Hill, CA Early Bird showingabout 60% full in a 250 seater I would guessfantastic, let me say I came in with plenty of doubts and they were all erased by the enchanting performances from the two leadscan be enjoyed in the theater or at home, a must see for all film fans/ages alike A
  17. the first half of the 2000s was a much better period in film than the current half we all agree 2011 was a weak year or at least most do
  18. Still shows they are not longer the biggest event award show out there by a mile, viewer numbers are good but the show better find a way to become more relevant as the 21st Century and younger generations tune out in a bigger % of viewers
  19. Shut out again if not for a small mention by Crystal, kind of a sad way for the Academy to remember a pretty important film series in Hollywood's history but maybe that's saying something about how much British involvement there is/was in the making of them (and obviously their inception from a Brit writer)
  20. DDL for Lincoln is a safe early bet, not saying he will win (see DiCaprio in J Edgar) but I just feel he is the perfect person for that role
  21. Lincoln looks masterful from early word out of production, DDL is a better choice than Liam Neeson anywaysThe Hobbit and TDKR are the 2 blockbuster, high box office movies that have a shot at a nomDjango Unchained, The Master are good early Weinstein choices as well
  22. Not ranking just posting my tweet about predictions. No real buzz for #Oscars tonight, weak 2011 in film. BP #TheArtist BD Hazanavicius BA Dujardin BAf Davis OS #MidnightinParis AS #Descendants
