[Ozymandias]

He was the twins in Social Network. Also the Lone Ranger

 

that explains it

[DAJK]

We have to do an analysis essay for the short story that the short film 2081 (which Armies Hammer is in) for English. Ugh.

[grim22]

 

Godzilla, Battleship, Prometheus, Tron Legacy, Need for Speed and Lone Ranger

 

 

 

They should be associated with better projects in the future if they are gonna recalled "The Next Generation"

 

Wow, that cover is like a curse.

[baumer]

What 2010 films are better??

 

The Kings Speech

Inception

Grown Ups

How to Train your Dragon

The Expendables

The Town

The Crazies

 

And more I'm sure.

[baumer]

Ethan we are talking about real movies atm

 

See this is the attitude I hate, even if this comment is in jest.  What's the purpose of a movie?  To entertain.  So why is Ethan's opinion on film any more egregious or wrong than yours or anyone else's?  Just because the academy only nominates a certain type of film, doesn't mean those films are any better than the ones that someone else likes.

At our theatre tonight, Martian did the equivalent of 9.7M, HT2 did 6.2M, Pan did 4.1M, War Room did only 1.8M and Hyena Road did 3.4M (which isn't bad for a Canadian film. We get no-shows for those sometimes).

 

Hyena Road I will be seeing.  I thought Gross' Paschendaele was terrific and this one looks good as well.

Was just reading the part of the thread where you're all talking about the best movie years. Hard to push through because of how wrong everyone is.

[The Futurist]

My favorite year is better than yours.

No new Friday numbers? Damn.

3RD UPDATE, Saturday 2:27AM: Even though the entire nation doesn’t celebrate The Columbus Day holiday weekend, it’s providing some extra ducats to studios’ bank accounts thanks to 14% K-12 schools off on Friday and 40% off on Monday. Reaping the benefits of this are the top three movies: 20^th Century Fox’s The Martian which just continues to mine dollars from people’s wallets with an estimated $10.85M Friday night (besting its $9M-$10M matinee projections) and a $36.4M second weekend (vs. its earlier $32M-$34M estimate),

 

Sony’s Hotel Transylvania 2 which is looking at a strong third weekend hold of -21% with $21M and a total cume by Sunday of $117.5M, and

 

Warner Bros.’ Pan which needs every single child out of school and in theaters so that it can make up some ground on its $150M estimated budget. Friday’s B.O. was only $5.2M, with an estimated second place debut of $18.25M…not so good. If Pan cost $15M, we’d be screaming that it was the cash cow of all ages. However, the cost is right up there on the screen with full-on VFX and zero sets.

So you wouldn't have something to complain about, but you just did.
