Birdman is ridiculously overrated and joins The Artist as being one of the most pretentious movies this decade.

The truth or dare scenes were great, though.

Well I think King Kong is the love story of the 21st century!

That was actually a joke a friend and I had after these girls wouldn't shut up about Sweet Home Alabama and The Notebook so we said King Kong was a better love story

Looks like JW is going up by $5 million lol.

I wish Her had won Best Picture. What a fucking GEM.

With the quick nostalgia turnaround these days, by the time Avengers 4 comes out we'll be talking about nostalgia for Avengers 1 being one of the driving factors 

 

The generation of I want it now. That even means wanting nostalgia when a franchise is only 5 years old, lol.

I wouldn't call it the love story of the 21st century, but it certainly is a beautiful film, although the ice-skating scene while very whimsical, was really unnecessary, and just seemed to be strange, considering that Kong was already being attacked earlier.

Yes.

Well I kept on calling Hotel the origin story of Voldie and was waiting for him to lose his nose...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*Wonders how sad it is that I always now think of him as either M or Voldie now*

[MovieMan89]

What about DBAMTSCWDYJINH?

Ah yes, I though it was decent but nothing special. At least it wasn't a huge letdown like TAOJJBTCRF.

Hey man, 5 years is a whole generation.

You mean *AOU-esque backlash, a month later. Everyone here loves to pick on it now. I swear that Wednesday everyone was super excited. Then the Friday numbers came in talking about $100M OD and yall were all pissing on yourselves with excitment. Once it dropped, everyone turned on it all of a sudden. Now its the forum's punchline.

 

Amazing how box office can make people change their tunes so fast. If TA2 had kept that $100M OD and $220 OW, and blowing past 500, I don't see that much backlash happening.

 

It dropping below expectations is pretty much the story of the movie as well as the box office run frankly.

So predicts for JW's 2nd Monday?
