Congrats to ride along. The commercial always make me giggle.

If only Leatherface had suddenly barged into the Osage house, grunting and screaming and waving that chainsaw around..... then we might've had a fun movie.

 

I truly believe Leatherface is the offspring of Meryl's character, but in an alternate universe.

Maybe all that furniture is made from Osage bones.

Second best dinner scene, next to Texas Chainsaw Massacre.  I actually compared the family in Sausage County to the Sawyer family from TCM.

The best dinner scene is the dinner scene from Empire Strikes Back that was cut from the original script.

Lando escorts Han, Leia and Chewbacca to dinner and, as in the finished film, Vader is waiting for them. But then this dinner actually happens. Vader explains to the group that he's looking for Luke and he needs them to stay on the planet because Luke will eventually come looking for them. Leia yells at Vader for the way she was treated on the Death Star (which seems reasonable). Then Vader quasi-apologizes by explaining that she had valuable information that he needed! Now that she doesn't, he's basically like, "No hard feelings?" While this is going on, Han Solo drinks a lot of wine, gets mad, then eventually excuses himself from the table and leaves with Leia.

But does Leia yell at Vader "EAT THE FISH, BITCH!"?

No, she yells "YOU CAN'T EAT THE FISH BITCH 'CAUSE YOU GOT A FACEMASK IN THE WAY!"

That's true, HUSTLE is a much more accessible movie. In fact, there's actually very little objectionable content aside from some cursing.

 

And yet, my dad screamed at me when I saw it for it being "too sexual" 

[baumer]

EAT THE MUTHAFUCKING FISH!

 

Julia turns into Jules Winnfield for one scene.

My nephew is very excited about the Lego movie... Maybe the parents will drop the kids off at Lego while they watch frozen. haha. I can't imagine the Lego movie having the same adult + kid appeal that Frozen has. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. Frozen finally having competition in it's.. 10th, 11th week? I think by that point in a movies run the effects of competing movies aren't as big of a deal... Because by the 10th week the audience is a lot of repeat business and those who finally are willing to go because it's in the cheap theater. But I'm no expert.Plus, I saw frozen twice last week. Not one single kid in either showing. No joke. One of the showings was even a matinee. Lego might not hurt frozen at all... It will likely push it into cheaper theaters which could help it. But again, I have no idea just thinking out loud.

 

If anything, I think LEGO has more appeal towards nostalgic adults and teenagers with its wacky Phil Lord/Chris Miller comedy

Lego will be big, with a big opening weekend, but won't come close to Frozen numbers.

The big difference is that Lego looks totally geared to young children, which is fine, and parents will take them to see it, but I doubt those parents will be interested in seeing it more than once, and thy are the ones buying the tickets, so I doubt "multiple viewings ,which have helped Frozen enormously, will be as much of a factor. Also, I don't see Lego crossing over into other demographics the way Frozen did, how many middle aged couples without kids or seniors will go to Lego?

I think a really solid run for Lego would be 150-180.

 

Anecdotal of course, but I know that if I wasn't going with them, my parents (54 and 64) would totally go on a movie night date to LEGO. They can't stop talking about how good it looks

My excitement about Legos ended 30 years ago.

So when you were 30?

 

Or 10? Please don't hurt me

You know, I can see Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid being the American Hustle of the 1969 Oscar race. 

 

Except that, you know, people actually remember Butch Cassidy

At the theater now for August: Osage County.

Man Prisoners that's a strong film.

 

Eh felt like the performances were strong but the film itself was missing something. It does get better with time tho

[Sam]

WHAT

I have absolutely no interest in it.
