4815162342 Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Let's face it, TWISTER *is* more subtle than CF.... You can't just leave it at that. This is a post that needs to be elaborated on. For science...and the lolz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Looks like Frozen dominated CF in the state of Texas. Kinda weird as they seem to be equal or CF being higher pretty much everywhere else.Because here in Texas it doesn't snow and we like to pretend it does with winter movies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackzack Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I'm still stunned by how great Frozen was. Beautiful animation with strong story and great songs. Also, Olaf was loved by my niece. He was adorable as hell. He could be the next Minion, Dory or Scrat. I agree with most of what you have said except for this : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B J Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 As of 11:58p.m. eastern time Catching Fire - 11 Sellouts in Irving, TX Frozen - 17 Sellouts in Irving, TX 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAR Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 don't worry I will think of something How about this. Catching Fire likely won't be able to top Twister as Phillip Seymour Hoffman's most attended movie domestically. There Never change sir.

ban1o Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Is it possible that frozen can take the 3 day It's possible. if the Friday numbers are equal or 1 million apart. than i think Frozen will take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dementeleus Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) You can't just leave it at that. This is a post that needs to be elaborated on.For science...and the lolz.Black SUVs slightly more subtle than white Stormtroopers.Cary Elwes twirls his moustache slightly less than Donald Sutherland.Young PSH slightly less dryly doing "PSH" than post-Oscar PSH. Jami Gertz, subtler and more believable than Josh Hutcherson. The flying cow, slightly more emotive than Liam Hemsworth.Woody Harrelson does out-act the F5 woody debris, though.

Spidey Freak Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) I agree with most of what you have said except for this : He is actually pretty sweet in the actual movie. And the way I think of him, he is the personification of Elsa's lost childhood and her desires for warmth and attachment that she could never act on because of her powers and having to always control and conceal them. Hence she expressed her suppressed feelings through the living snowman she created. Edited November 30, 2013 by Spidey Freak 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxOfficeFangrl Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 (edited) No, I think the problem is deeper than that. In the books Harry has flaws, he screws up, he gets jealous, and so forth. Very little of that comes across in the movies. What're interesting little rasps of character flaws get sanded down into their more generic lump. Add that to the fact he's a very reactive character, for the most part, and you end up with a lead who's essentially more of a symbol than anything else. That's another issue, too, that the characters' flaws were all kind of smoothed out too much, but that was with several characters besides Harry, like Hermione and Snape. But I do think the whole "Dumbledore explains it all, or Hermione is there to look it up" aspect of the books is a huge issue with adapting the films, less so when he's a little kid but more in the later books when Harry is supposed to be the man. In movies especially audiences respond more to characters who discover/do things themselves. Also the romance, the way it's done in Potter just seems...wrong to me, where it's only natural the audience is more invested in his friends getting together, because you know them a lot better, collectively, than Harry and who he ends up with. It would be like in Star Wars, if Luke got with Hannah Solo or something. Nice enough, I guess, but a bit "who cares" compared to Han and Leia. Speaking of the Imperial March, Hedwig's Theme is just a rearranged version of it, right? Edited November 30, 2013 by BoxOfficeChica 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Marston Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 some more negative things about CF It won't surpass Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides as Sam Claflin's highest grossing worldwide movie It won't surpass 2012 as Woody Harrelson's top grossing international movie. It is disappointing after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggestgeekever Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Black SUVs slightly more subtle than white Stormtroopers. Very racist. Cary Elwes twirls his moustache slightly less than Donald Sutherland. Wrong. A better argument would have been that Cary Elwes backwashes slightly less blood. Young PSH slightly less dryly doing "PSH" than post-Oscar PSH. Ha! PSH couldn't PSH himself out a wet paper bag in Twister. Jami Gertz, subtler and more believable than Josh Hutcherson. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gysu0kgFwT0 The flying cow, slightly more emotive than Liam Hemsworth. ....Ok, you have a good point. But the rest is fucking bollocks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
