I've heard the show is really awful - a bit like Sex and the City but without even a glimmer of self-awareness. Kind of intrigued to check it out.

The first three seasons of Entourage are really good. Seasons four and five are alright. And then it just goes to hell with no one to root for in sight.

Wouldn't a GOT movie have to be rated R? That would limit its potential grosses.

 

People keep saying that, but since October we've had these rated R movies:

 

Gone Girl - $167m

American Sniper - $350m

Kingsman - $128m

50 Shades - $166m

Fury Road - $115m and counting

 

R rated movies can make good money.

Right. And it's not like Game of Thrones' huge fanbase has many kids.

I'm sure it's ok, it's just... the bro culture. Parody or not, I don't know how much of that I could really stomach.

That opened on a Thursday, where it made $14M. Its total was $95M, so its legs were really quite pitiful.

i remembered that and it was the most talked movie of the summer of 2010 by entertainment/gossip news people and then the movie came out and people were like why? Why!? Was this even asked for by the studios and that's what hurt it

Yeah. While the individual episodes had their stories and issues, the series itself mostly revolved around whether or not Vince would become a star or not. People forget that for the first 2-3 seasons, the guys had relatively little money or clout, and what trappings of glamour (floor seats for Laker games, etc) were mostly thanks to Ari intervening on their behalf. The show was at its peak. But at the beginning of Season 3, Aquaman opened big.  Vince becomes a rich star, and that was kinda it for the tension on the show. 

 

After that, the show tried to manufacture tension by threatening Vince's status as a star with mixed success for a little while.  Seasons 3 and 4 revolved around making Medellin, and parts of it were good, but parts of it were terrible. Season 5 ends with the whole Smokejumpers shoot where Vince is separated from the rest of the guys, is teamed with a director and co-star he simply cannot charm, and gets his confidence crushed while going broke.  Its actually one of the stronger arcs of the entire series.

 

But after that, its over.  Season 6 opens with all the problems from the end of Season 5 magically fixed.  The bulk of Season 6 is literally the gang entertaining themselves until Vince's next movie starts filming. Virtually everything goes their way until the end of the series, and the characterizations and plot arcs get more and more ridiculous. Vince's addiction problems in Season 8 probably would have been moving back in Season 3, but by the point they actually arrive they feel absurd and contrived, really the only question was how it'd be resolved before the series itself ends.  

 

For a minute it looked like they might actually kill Vince which would have been a pretty shocking way to go out.  Instead, as expected, Vince cleans himself up almost instantly, his legal problems suddenly disappear, and he learns to love and gets married to someone who gets maybe 5 minutes of screen time.  Its just as silly as the critics say.

 

I will say that watching Ari chew the scenery was a delight over the entire run of the show, and his scenes with E, especially early on, were some of the best parts of the show. But once he started running into his own problems and the gang got too big for him to push around, the show essentially split into two parts: Vince and Ari, which only occasionally interacted with each other.  It did actually make the show better, but only because the shark had already been jumped.

No. Matrix Reloaded made 742m WW and Passion Of Christ made 611m WW and those where rated R.

 

Any appealing movie can break BO records regardless of the ratings.

 

But GOT is full of nudity and sex. Those weren't. Everyone knows violence is better to be viewed than sex in America. How much has 50 Shades made, thats a good floor for a GOT movie.

A floor of $166M wouldn't be bad.
