  1. Someone summed it up best talking about the 'Crimes' - the film has no second act. It's two hours of a first act that jumps straight to the third before the credits suddenly roll out of nowhere. There'll be another but for god sake get a decent script first. If that means not allowing Rowling to do it then so be it.
  2. Quite surprised by the reactions, thought this would be a slightly middlebrow awards bait but seems to be much better than that. Happy for Mangold.
  3. "Theodore Decker" Ha, I forgot the protagonist was called that. Pretty much encapsulates the middlebrow sensibilities of the book.
  4. A good way to rectify that is by watching the Shining. Not for this movie's sake, but because it's worth seeing anyway.
  5. The first 50 pages are good. The remaining 700 are not.
  6. Ah, glad reactions are good. Wasn't impressed by the trailer but I have a weakness for whodunnits and god knows and mid-budget movie aimed at adults is up against it these days.
  7. Oh, so this is actually good. It says a lot of how much Lopez's star had fallen that I immediately assumed anything she was in was trash.
  8. Going by that trailer I'll be very surprised if this isn't a hot mess. Linda Hamilton looks like she forgot how to act, frankly. But hey, Joker has a 9.2 average rating on RT now, so anything's possible.
  9. Lol at that photo on the left. Arnold in full-on "Twins" mode.
  10. The book was such a hot mess, but with some brutal editing there is the bones of a decent film story there. No reason to expect big numbers either way though.
  11. I'm ok with the title. It's a bit silly at a time where the franchise could use a bit of silliness. Odd number entries seem to work for Craig, so here's hoping.
  12. Thought H&S would do better, honestly. That number seems like the absolute floor of okayness, anything less would have been outright disappointing. Put it this way: Vin Diesel is probably mildly relieved. ETA: I haven't even checked OS numbers where I'm sure it's doing well.
  13. It's pretty bad that when I saw the trailer for this, one of my first thoughts was 'Futurist's going be hate-jerking to this all over the forum'.
  14. Yeah, Madden's definitely more famous in Britain for Bodyguard than Game of Thrones now. That was a smash hit over here. Personally I can take or leave him but I'm not at all surprised Hollywood's taken notice.
  15. My comment was aimed more at me than anyone else. We've done this whole 'finally, this feels like terminator again' dance before, but if it somehow snatches victory from the jaws of defeat, then great.
  16. If awareness translated to dollars this would be one of the biggest grossing movies ever. Seriously, my twitter feed hasn't shut up about it at since the trailer dropped.
  17. GOD BLESS AMERICA THE WORLD! Anyway, I won't watch this as ariel dogfights bore the hell out of me and the original holds precisely zero nostalgia value, but I sure can't wait for the thousand think-pieces.
