Half of it, anyway. 

 

Which one is better Fellowship or Inglorious Basterds?

 

You have to give Tele a choice so he inadvertently supports good movies.

3RD UPDATE, 9PM: As the old, crusty guy in the cabin tells 007 in Spectre: “Mr. Bond, you’re like a kite, dancing around in a hurricane.” Ditto for his grosses. 8PM projections, which include final east coast sales, but not final west coast sales, indicate that Spectre has calmed down a bit from the lofty highs we saw earlier today. Studio box office analysts were moving their estimates around between 12noon and 4pm like crazed snipers. Spectre‘s Friday is currently looking like $28M for the Sony/MGM/Eon co-production, still second among the opening days of the last four Daniel Craig Bond films behind Skyfall‘s $30.5M and ahead of Quantum of Solace‘s $27M. Current opening weekend stands at $75.6M which is closer to the industry projection we saw earlier in the week. Keep in mind these figures can change two more times; close to midnight and tomorrow morning.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I love FOTR. But about half an hour of it is pretty lousy.

1. Avatar

2. Gravity

3. Skyfall

4. The Dark Knight Rises

5. Avengers : Age of Ultron

 

How about the reverse of a backlash(a frontlash?)? A film that was suddenly a masterpiece for at least a week in October: Back to the Future 2 :P

Fight Club was 99, the internet era was still kinda in its infancy.  With sites like rottentomatoes a mouse click away that collectd all the reviews, I think it makes reassessing a film almost impossible because theres an obsession over the %.

 

Does the internet radically change their opinion though, overall over time?

Umm a half hour in FOTR is not half of FOTR. It's not even a quarter.

Maybe, but ROTK is the 3rd best of that bunch. I rank Two Towers at the top. 

[The Futurist]

Rupert Murdoch didn't like Fight Club.

At all.

Heads rolled back in the day at Fox because of this movie, the guy who greenlit Titanic lost his job.

I WAS USING HYBERPOLE

Looks like SPECTRE will come in closer to QoS than Skyfall on OW. Peanuts will definitely do 50+ by the looks of it.

Begone, foul dwimmerlaik!

[The Futurist]

Is it strange to see the LOTR's films as a one big 10 hour movie ?

 

90% of these movies were shot in one big fat block you know with the same crew, DP etc

If Lord of the Rings was made today, it would be six films. One for each "book" that the actual series was made up of. Then they would have done the three Hobbit films.

Incredible. 

 

That guy should've been made the head of the studio.

Nice to see Peanuts doing well actually.
