Eh, I've made no secret about my disdain for JW, but its success doesn't really bother me for some reason. It's too inoffensive I guess.

This thread needs some WK actual numbers.

 

Won't get those till much later in the day.

[stripe]

Any Sunday adjustments?

[baumer]

Just for the record, consider this:

 

First of all, I liked IO way more than Minions.  

 

But look at it this way.  Minions is going to make a minimum of about 200 million more than IO WW.

The budget was about half of IO

 

And yet people are disparaging Minions for some reason.  The box office doesn't lie.  In places like Australia, Argentina and Mexico it is doing huge business.  So hate on it all you want, but the DM franchise is a Titan.  And they keep their budgets low so their profit is much higher than a lot of other animated films.

 

Congrats to Universal and Illumination for a job well done.

I read somewhere that DM II was the most profitable in 2013.

JW is just a bad movie, no ifs ands or buts. The last 20 minutes or so are ok, but you have to sit through so much unbearable garbage before you get to that point that it's not even remotely worth it.

[baumer]

JW is such a good movie, no ifs ands or buts.  The last 20 minutes are incredible and the rest of the movie is so much fun that by the time you get to the end, you're ready to be blown away.

IMO Titanic is better than JW. But that's just me.

That's like saying making out with Henry Cavill is better than getting fisted by a homeless Albino pedophile tbh!!

[Bishop54]

So Bishop and Scooby love JW as much as I do but hate Titanic?  Hmmm, I guess we can't be friends anymore.  It was nice while it lasted.  

We can still be friends my man, you'll just be my friend who likes boring bloated over long films.

We can love movies and still acknowledge that they aren't good daddy. I stan the FUCK out of Batman Forever tbh!

[Bishop54]

If he said it's his opinion or he likes JW better, I wouldn't have said anything.

I'm the one who posted it, of course it's my opinion. Who else would it be? Did someone hack my account?

Lol you say it like most people on this planet doesn't share your opinion

We can like/hate something and still acknowledge that other people have different opinions, and just because they don't agree with us doesn't make them wrong.

I can't find "think" anywhere in his sentence.

Let's just say I misunderstood him then.

I don't have to say "I think" because when I say something it means what I think.

I'm out on a holiday but the only thing I do all day long is read these forums, even when I'm out! I love you guys! (yes, even the ones who hate JW)

 

Sorry for the random post I just felt like saying this

I think bad movies are pretty self-explanatory though. We know enough about film theory and the history of cinema to make those claims.

I love plenty of bad movies.
