I'd always assumed Bad Boys 2 made tons of money, but 273m WW against a 130m budget is nothing special. Do people really want a follow-up?

A DOG'S PURPOSE | 01.27.17 | Universal | final gross ● 64.51M

Still find it funny that, fake news or not, this was the hill/film people were willing to die on. It flopped because it looked shite. -
Hacksaw Ridge (2016)
Hatebox replied to Ezen Baklattan's topic in Review That Movie! (Spoilers Allowed)
Don't have too much interest in this movie, but the Japanese soldier debate reminded me of an exhaustive video essay I watched a while back discussing the techniques Spielberg employed on Ryan to (rightly or wrongly) humanise the Americans and dehumanise the Germans. I like SPR but it's hard disagree with a few of the points this makes: -
I liked Inherent Vice, but reading the book and knowing the story beforehand helped a lot. While there is some humour to be derived from being as lost as the protagonist — a la The Big Lebowski — I think it would have become too trying for that movie. Anyway, excited to see PTA's vision of 50s Britain.

So excited to get reacquainted with Jake Sully!! But seriously, is there any word on the previously touted underwater sequences? That's something I'd be really interested to see — even/especially in 3D.

I don't think Civil War really 'said' anything that Winter Solider hadn't already covered, it just used Iron Man to stretch the point even further. Rogue One's political themes aren't any more specific than the usual SW movie (that it to say, deliberately broad as hell). But Zootopia is a fair shout. The tone of animation has become a lot more daring and sophisticated in the last couple of decades.

T2: TRAINSPOTTING | 03.17.17 | Sony | final gross ● 2.40M
Hatebox replied to kayumanggi's topic in Box Office Discussion
Nice to see reviews are solid. Kind of strange that, even here in the UK, the buzz for the sequel to the most notorious British movie of the 90s is so minimal — but I guess people don't like being reminded that they're much older now. -

Well, PR war aside, movie that looks shit turns out to be shit. The world keeps on spinning. -

I can't claim to have followed the 'controversy', but is this movie really worth defending anyway? It's got Josh Gad in it, ferchrissake. -
Whatever 3D's cinematic future is, it seems the format is now totally dead in the water on TV for now: http://uk.businessinsider.com/3d-tv-is-dead-2017-1?r=US&IR=T (Not a cheap shot at Avatar, just seems vaguely related.)
