Poopy Weekend Actuals: Spy 29.09, SA 25.84, I3 22.69, Ent 10.28, Only Movie That Matters 7.83, PP2 7.57

[Mango]

This article uses some JW examples -- mainly because it's a current/upcoming movie. (The Terminator movie is also referenced). But the general points it's making stand. JW isn't the only offender, most modern tentpoles are. Discuss.

I read that article not too long ago (I frequent cracked a lot). I do agree with a lot in there. That shot in The Hobbit 3 is fucking silly as hell.

I just recently upped my 95M to 105M.

Yeah, I bumped mine from 89M at the beginning of the Summer to 103M now

It's hard to ignore the tracking, especially since on tv JP been on like, 5 different channels the past few days.

It's just, why does his motorcycle look stationary in this GIF? Am I the only one who sees it?

 

Never mind. I'm seeing the movie Thurs or Fri and it'll be whatever.

Isn 't tracking more wrong than right though ?

I wouldn't say it's more wrong, it has it's ups and downs. (shrug). It's been tracking high for weeks, I can't see them being too off.

Are you seriously using the parody gif to prove a point?

I was going to use the real one but figured this would be better.

LOL, you do realize this gif is edited, right?

Somebody already linked a production video of Pratt riding that bike, so I don't know what more you want.

That is why you fail.

Only a surprise to those who didn't understand the huge impact and following the original gathered on home video and Netflix.

[Ethan Hunt]

It might hit $180M. The surprise of the summer

Mad Max is a much bigger surprise.

[BadAtGender]

Giving SPY a shot. It's a rare comedy that I see in theaters.

[Travod]

Did you even look at the three GIFs I quoted? Were they supposed to use animatronics for those shots? How?

 

 

Sorry, but that's pure nonsense. They used CGI to create dinosaurs. Just because you loved Mad Max doesn't mean every movie can be accomplished with minimal CGI use.

 

 

I read that article a while ago, disagreed with a few of its points, but mostly with the way it applied them to a movie with incomplete CGI. They took shots from JW's first trailer and treated them as if they're examples of finished CGI. That's just silly.

 

 

I mean this in a very diplomatic and polite way :

 

FUCK THIS ARTICLE AND EVERY WORD OF IT.

 

Good day.

I think I know why this weekend was poor because of the NBA playoffs this weekend were on TV and everyone was glued to it anyway I hope Spy performs well on the dailies and has decent legs
