solaris

Just caught up on the first two episodes of S4 (so ignoring the rest of the thread for spoilers). Massive improvement on S3... Looking forward to where this is going.

Let's just all take a moment to appreciate...

Ok.... doing this off the top of my head. There'll no doubt be some egregious omissions - forgive me, my head kind of hurts today. And top 4 aside, the rest are in no order. 1) Tom Hardy - lord of all hotness. I would give my right eye to spend a day locked in a bedroom with him. 2) Chris Pratt 3) Chris Evans 4) Frank Grillo - so DILFy 5) Bradley Cooper 6) Liam Hemsworth 7) Fassbender 8) Zefron 9) Joe Mangianello 10) Jake Gyllenhall 11) Jamie Dornan 12) Chris Pine 13) Jon Bernthal 14) Shia LeBeouf (seriously... dude got pumped) 15) James Marsden 16) Daniel Craig 17) Hugh Jackman 18) Theo James 19) Daniel Sunjata 20) William Levy - love me some Latino papitos

Adim I'm working on it Forgot to mention Under the Skin too.... Loved it.

Top 3 (in no order) - Boyhood - hit me hard. Gorgeous. I love Linklater. - Locke - an entire film's worth of Tom Hardy? Yes please. - Interstellar - Obsessed with this, even now. And my favourite soundtrack of the last 10 years. The worst - The Amazing Spiderman 2 - just a sad, pathetic, crumbling spectacle unfolding (collapsing) before our eyes. Prometheus of the Year - Godzilla - I wanted to love you, I really did. But I tried rewatching it recently and I just couldn't. Lots to admire & some awesome set pieces. Gareth Edwards is clearly a talent. But this was sooooo disappointing. Nevah build yourself up solely based on amazing trailers again - lesson learnt.

Not sure if someone else mentioned this but I'm feeling a TDK/TDKR decrease.... Should be able to pull similar (if not slightly bigger numbers) on OW but can't see legs being as sexy. OW - 92m Week 1 total - 124m w/end 2 - 38m (59%) Week 2 total - 62m w/end 3 - 19m (50% - HG opens) Week 3 total - 30m - w/end 4 - 17m (10% - thanksgiving) That leaves it at 240m after 4 weekends (vs 250m for Skyfall at the same point). That went on to make about 60m after this point. I can't see Spectre touching this as so many large format screens are going to be given to SW7 mid Dec, so let's figure about another 40m for a 280m finish.

BP nom won't happen but $190m sounds damn nice. 4 x multi wooooo!

So pleased this found an audience internationally. For all its flaws, it deserves dat dough!

My absolute favourite film. The best. Everything is perfect. Sigourney slays. Technically, structurally, narratively - on every level this is as good as is gets. A+++++ 10/10 gold star etc etc

It took me 3 separate sittings to get through this. I absolutely worshipped LOTR but this sapped any interest in the Hobbit for me. Just dull and overstuffed and rambling and a mess. A couple of great action beats here and there but this film is so not worth the schlep.

Floored me. I can't put my finger on any one thing that got me (except perhaps Patricia Arquette's character/performance) but yeah... just a beautifully evocative gorgeous wash of a film.

BEST BOND EVAH. Could do without.... 'Rolex?' 'Omega' 'Beautiful' ...though

Disappointed a la Prometheus (thanks again Lindelof). Loved the opening - everything I'd wanted to see since leaving ST09 4 years ago. Loved the Klingons - they felt dangerous for the first time in years. Cumberbatch great but all of TWOK references and quotes were lazy and stupid. The conspiracy plot was silly and completely undercooked. It's too well made to be bad (saw it in IMAX at the BFI and it was sexy as hell), and lots of individual sequences were fun/entertaining. As a whole though, it's WAAAAY less satisfying than ST09. A huuuuuge missed opportunity in my book. B

OS possible? That would be a 2.4 multi from ST1... TDK jumped 2.8 and the base gross from the first film is pretty low. The only way is up!
