I just wish I could explain my opinions more eloquently. Need to work on that.

It's not your fault, it's ours. We should learn Finnish. I'm sure your meaning would be clearer.

[Noctis]

Wow. The ways in which people are dealing with Mal's success are getting utterly ridiculous. “Boo hoo...a film I didn't like is going to win the summer...it must be because the audience is desperate and dumb, not because they actually loved it.” Seriously? So I didn't love Maleficent, eh? I just felt desperate for something, anything that appealed to me, and I latched on to that film because there was nothing else? So I really didn't care for Maleficent, but since I am desperate, I became a fan of it? Do you realize how absolutely ludicrous and non-sensical that sounds? People, we can't "win" all the time. Sometimes, films we don't care for will win the summer, and sometimes even the whole year. Heck, at one point, a film I disliked was the biggest film of an entire decade. Cry me a fucking river, but enough with the BS rationalizations.

Did you forget your endless meltdowns over The Avengers? You were insufferable.

I now haven't seen Maleficent 7 times and it still sucks.

Why so angry? You win. Let us be a sore loser.

[Hatebox]

This Maleficient war of words almost makes me want to see it so I can finally pick a side.

 

Almost.

Star Wars, E.T., Titanic, Avatar, or The Avengers..which?

[Sam]

Star Wars, E.T., Titanic, Avatar, or The Avengers..which?

This is a trick question, right?

[grey ghost]

Let's say Apes stays in the 90's on RT.When was the last time four summer blockbusters made it into the 90's (DOFP, EOT, HTTYD2, Apes)?Heck, I doubt there's more than two most summers.

[eddyxx]

This is a trick question, right?

Well at first I thought Avengers but I thought she ended up liking the film? So is it Avatar?

[Sam]

Hell would have to be frozen over before that

[grey ghost]

Is Tammy doing good or should Melissa McCarthy's agent start to worry?

Transformers being a huge exception, most critics actually enjoy the big films that come out each year, especially now.

[Hatebox]

Wow, reviews for Apes are genuine raves. I may just have to watch the first to see this in the cinema.

[#ED]

Only 16 reviews so far. I suspect the embargo will be up after this holiday weekend.

[DAR]

Is Tammy doing good or should Melissa McCarthy's agent start to worry?

She still has Mike and Molly

[Jack Nevada]
