Weekend numbers thread:TMNT: 28.4 GOTG: 24.7 LBC. 17.7 Ex3: 16.2

[Mango]

Like Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant Man? lol

 

 

 

Marvel superhero fanboys

 

Putting words in my mouth, never said they were original nor have I even insinuated that in even the slightest amount.

 

I've ranted about there being too many comic book adaptations as well. Hell, they are the most abundant type of adaptation, these days, it seems.

so it's worth seeing?or nah?

I think my gf is going to drag me to it. I hated the book though.

So tired of factory made shit like TMNT, Into the Storm, The Giver, and et al. We need more original movies like Edge Of Tomorrow, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and Guardians of the Galaxy. This summer has been refreshing b/c there was a good number(4-5) great movies, but most of the rest of them were factory made shit.

Is that your thumbs up/thumbs down ranking? Something is either factory-made shit or great? Because there's not a lot of connection between the movies you're using as examples, except your personal opinion.

None of the three you listed are original though. Good films? Yes. Original? Not in the slightest.

I love all 3 of these films but they are not  original

[Blankments]

baumer, it's getting ridiculous. I usually don't have an issue with you expressing your opinion, but you are getting dangerously close to trolling with some of the posts I've read (reading through the thread). Please stop, for the sake of the sanity of the forum

 

And not just baumer. FrozenBuff, this new Wiseau guy, Noctis... seriously, it's getting kinda sickening

[WhiskeyTangoFoxtrot]

Just because a film is original doesn't mean it's automatically good.

Just because a film is produced as part of a franchise from adapted material doesn't mean it's bad. 

 

PROBLEM SOLVED WORLD PEACE!! 

 

[Blankments]

Also, any word of Boyhood's numbers?

[Fake]

I need that GOTG range to go up.Hope it goes above 7m with Rth's next update.

Pretty much. I'm watching Jaws right now. This film is a goddamn masterpiece and its a book adaptation, as well as the film that put Spielberg on the map.

I think the Wiseau guy is Shay, but I could be wrong.

Originality is an illusion anyway. It's all smoke and mirrors to make something look original. Or need I mention Inception and Uncle Scrooge McDuck?
