  1. It really depends on movies that excite audiences enough and movies that don't quite have that effect. While MI4 was fun, it was like what, almost four years ago? I think it was too big a gap to build on audience anticipation for a franchise that isn't quite an "event". Same reason for the underperformance of Into Darkness.
  2. Word. What will they do for three seasons? I really don't think an eighth season is needed in any way. Don't want. Hopefully D&D convince them otherwise.
  3. Her agent is good no doubt (except when that sensory lapse occurred with All About Steve) but people enjoy watching her on screen. After The Proposal/The Blind Side one-two punch, folks expect sufficient quality from her films or have the reassurance that if nothing else, at least she would be appealing. Not being as limited as Depp also helps a lot of course. Also, Gravity was in no way considered to be "highly commercial".
  4. All About Steve had an impressive opening on her name alone, despite looking and smelling like shit. Extremely Close did not feature her prominently in the marketing and it was too small and Oscar bait-y anyway. She has been the most legit and reliable BO powerhouse actor for some time now.
  5. Gee, if you are gonna bother with a #stickingit post, you could at least manage not throttling the grammar? And I meant IN REAL LIFE! Either people don't know the name of the director of Transformer films or they bash him. Nobody knows his name AND adores him.
  6. I don't know a single person who actually said the statement "I love/like Michael Bay films!" in a non-sarcastic manner. It seems like every person who knows he was behind Transformers, knows of him to bash him. I'm guessing anyone who would take the trouble of finding out who was behind an atrocious film would be savant enough to be aware of Nolan.
  7. But there were an equal number of people yelling about how GotG was a sureshot success right from the start. For Strange, all there is right now is Cumberbitches, who aren't really good for the one thing needed of them, boosting Cumberbatch's BO. Also, dysfunctional family-type team of lovable underdogs in a space-faring sci-fi vs. eccentric, douchey character played by an unconventional looking actor in a mystic fantasy.
  8. Doctor Strange really was as unnecessary as they come. At least Ant-Man has an excuse in the form of Edgar Wright. Strange is all on Feige's hands.
  9. No animated movie other than The Lion King? No Linklater movie? TDK as Nolan's only entry? Pass.
  10. These poor actors playing characters killed in season finales. Having to travel all the way months later just to play a corpse.
  11. Only if Feig or Apatow get the gig. Otherwise it would be same old Jack Black or Zach Galifiniakis.
  12. I don't think it would have made much of a difference. Weekdays would have been weaker in early June because of school.
  13. This has been so exciting to watch. IO passing 300M is reduced to a footnote. Truest sign of how insane this summer has been.
  14. Somewhere in the world right now, Ridley Scott and Cameron Crowe are already pushing for a co-directed venture starring Christian Bale and Emma Stone as Aladdin and Jasmine respectively.
  15. You would think that, I would think that, but these sleazebag voters have pretty unreliable logic. Emmies have always shied away from hardcore fantasy/sci-fi unless they absolutely have to recognise it. Makes sense that the jarring rape of a minor and religious fanatics vs. royals politicking impressed them more than zombie apocalypse.
  16. As opposed to now? Also, not knocking down Menken but by then, Ashman had already passed away. The lyrics wouldn't have had the same magic and heart as say, something from The Little Mermaid, which is something a Hans Christian Andersen tale really needs. I loved what the Lopezes had to offer.
  17. Lol at giving slots to Peter and Emilia again. These Emmy voters are indeed the laziest. Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.
  18. And with that, Inside Out officially passes Up's total to be the third highest grossing Pixar movie DOM.
