junkshop36 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Mulder man, only if it's Maleficent, then "Fuck you all/Dame owns/suck it haters" but when Transformers is making that money, their tune changes to the opposite. Just look at them laughing at the early preview numbers. Bunch of jokers. Normally vanity projects strive for something more than this lol. McCarthy really wanted to play a fired fast food worker who robs her store in a paper bag?Is that what that scenes about? I wouldn't know since there's ZERO context for it when they play it. It's like they just picked a random scene for a teaser and thought, "yea, that'll draw them in." LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 If Oz's Wicked Witch made you hate it then never watch Maleficent. At least OZ made The Wicked Witch wicked. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I just saw Maleficent. I don't know what the hell I just watched. Perhaps one of the worst movies of summer. Man how weird and sad is it that the best movie I've seen so far this summer is Fault in Our Stars and chef. Every single major blockbuster that I have seen with the exception of X Men has either been disappointing or just ok. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Panda Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 If Oz's Wicked Witch made you hate it then never watch Maleficent. Alice in Wonderland. Oz: The great and powerful, Maleficent, they're all practically the same horrendous movie. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancyarcher Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Alice in Wonderland. Oz: The great and powerful, Maleficent, they're all practically the same horrendous movie. Certainly the CGI seems similar in all of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blankments Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Oz was a travesty, seeing Mila alibis destroy the character of the wicked witch was sickening. Do you know who would've been better as the Wicked Witch? PURE BEAUTY; GIVE THE PERFORMANCE TWELVE OSCARS HAIL COPLEY 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulder Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Certainly the CGI seems similar in all of them. Because Robert Stromberg worked on all three. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fancyarcher Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 I'll give it that, Oz the Great and powerful may have been terrible but it was much better than the musical Wicked. I like Wicked more for the songs than I do for the story, which is just ehh, it's basically the same plot that OZ: The Great and Powerful used only with a different guy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BK007 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Too little recognition. The man needs to be nominated for Actress and Supporting Actress as well. And maybe Best Sound Mixing. Even that's an understatement of his undeniable talent HAIL COPLEY I hear they are revising the rules for best animated movie too. Copley has no shame. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grim22 Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-preview-melissa-mccarthys-716075 Tammy will easily crush the new offerings with a $45 million to $50 million debut, considering McCarthy and Sandra Bullock's The Heat took in $47.2 million during the same stretch last year after opening the weekend before. Warner Bros. and New Line are being more conservative, saying $40 million and $45 million. The $20 million road-trip comedy is a key test for McCarthy and Falcone as a filmmaking team, and is getting ravaged in early reviews. Co-written and produced by the pair, Tammy stars McCarthy as a fed-up burger joint worker who leaves her husband behind for a trip with her grandmother (Susan Sarandon) to Niagara Falls. Tammy also stars Falcone, Kathy Bates, Dan Aykroyd, Allison Janney, Toni Collette and Sandra Oh. Screen Gems and producer Jerry Bruckheimer are aiming for a $20 million opening for Deliver Us From Evil, the summer's first studio horror film about a New York cop (Eric Bana) who teams with a renegade priest (Edgar Ramirez) schooled in exorcisms to eradicate a series of possessions striking New York City. The movie, directed by Scott Derrickson and costing roughly $30 million to produce, is inspired by the book co-written by real life cop Ralph Sarchie. Relativity Media hopes to ignite the family market with Earth to Echo, about a tiny alien robot befriended by humans. Disney made the found-footage film, but put it into turnaround last summer. Relativity paid a modest $13 million to acquire the movie and do re-shoots. Earth to Echo should gross $16 million to $19 million over the five-day holiday stretch.
