Blankments Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Rated PG-13 for disturbing thematic material including violence, a suggestive moment, and brief strong language. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MovieMan89 Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 Anyone else think this will be huge at the B.O. in January? If it truly becomes the Oscar frontrunner I see a run similar to Gone Girl, if not even better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I'm pissed at Paramount for their part in the Sony hack affair. Not sure I want to give them any of my money for the time being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 I think this is a horrible title. For someone like me who doesnt know the significance of what Selma means its a title thst turns me off. Imo it would be like calling JFK Dallas or something stupid like that.

AniNate Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 The last three Bond movies have had titles that make them sound like sci-fi films. All that matters is that it makes sense when you see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AniNate Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) Woah, this is the first I heard of Paramount being involved... what happened? When Sony pulled The Interview a few art theaters offered to show Team America in its place. But Paramount wussed out and made them all cancel it. I'm angrier at them than Sony because Sony was pretty much in a no-win situation while Paramount could've just turned a blind eye (and that movie was released 10 years ago without major incident) Edited December 23, 2014 by tribefan695 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halba Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) 43/43 reviews. 100% RT rating, 9.0 ave rating one of the best films ever. its giving strong competition to boyhood for the BP and director slots. a top award BP is likely, and director for boyhood.

If yes don't let those things affect it because well sorry I think it's silly to boycott a movie because of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmscholar Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 With everything going on in the united states right now, this couldn't be a more relevant movie. Think it might surprise. Getting good reviews and already got 4 Golden Globe nods and will be an Oscar contender. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halba Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 the superior box office should get this a win in the picture category. boyhood should win the director though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halba Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 looks like boyhood, gravity, 12 years a slave. will barely get a single neg review at rate of current progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxOfficeFangrl Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) I think this is a horrible title. For someone like me who doesnt know the significance of what Selma means its a title thst turns me off. Imo it would be like calling JFK Dallas or something stupid like that. How do I put this...I don't think the movie's title will be a problem for audiences who saw movies like The Butler, 12 Years a Slave, or even 42. If other people less familiar with what Selma means end up seeing it, too, great, but I'm glad Paramount didn't pressure DuVernay/Plan B into taking an Intro to Civil Rights approach with the title. Plus, it's not like they've hidden that the protagonist is MLK, but if you call it King, it can leave the impression of being a cradle-to-grave biopic when it's not, and the focus does shift to other people at times. Lincoln was also about a narrow window of time in his life and called Lincoln, so calling it King wouldn't have been unjustifed, but I don't think Selma's ultimate financial potential will hinge on MLK's name not being in the title.

Not to mention you don't want to give credence to a Boondocks lampoon. Edited December 25, 2014 by tribefan695 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
