I bet the stuff in the WB emails would be even more juicy than the Sony ones. Please tell me someone has seen that chick from Broad City and her brother doing a "dramatic reading" of the Amy Pascal/Scott Rudin chats because it almost caused me to actually cough up a lung.

If this movie has a TASM2 effect of any kind on the franchise that surely would be a popcorn spectacle.

 

Lol, not really sure what WB would do, considering they own DC comics.

I've been trying to figure something in my head, and maybe you guys can help me out, yeah? When a person is a troll, as some posters here clearly are, do they know that they're trolls? Maybe they're just sitting in mom's basement, browsing message boards, spewing vitriol, do they just stop and go, "Wow! It is amazing what a fucking troll I really am!"? Do you think they do that?

I applaud globalization of the film industry, I find OS tastes to be much closer to my own. 

[Napoleon]

I wonder how much money God Snyder will receive to direct Justice League while the haters keep moaning about it.

BvS was really awesome an an RPX screen as well. Now going to watch Kapoor & Sons, heard great things about this, it's from the director of "Ek mein aur Ek tu" which is one of my favorite movies.

 

Sorry, are you Indian?

[Heat Vision]

People really need to stop comparing this to F7. That movie opened in April basically two weeks from now.

Bitch, you're obsessed with the Hobbit movies...enough said. 

 

Bad taste goes beyond the US borders. After-2009 showed us just how bad international audiences are. 

Yeah, because anything Middle Earth is gold. And I really don't get you. I mean yeah, I am the biggest Potter fan ever, but I don't want BvS to fail because WB are the ones that shaped my world entertainment wise: Scooby-Doo when I was a kid, LOTR, HP and now DC and more SF original tentpoles than any other company. So yeah, I am rooting for them because they have balls with pretty much everything they do unlike other studios. And if it goes well for them, then it goes well for me, because I receive more of the things I like.

Trolls are self aware, trolling can be amusing and I do it sometimes.

 

Shitposters are not self aware and tedious as all hell.

@GiantCALBears I'll be completely honest...my interest in box office rankings dropped hugely last year as I focused on other things in my life. But I'll never lie...whenever there's a chance to be smug about Potter, I'll take that fucking opportunity.

Well, the US as a market is famous for having some... eh, weird tastes (just look at their all time no. 1 movie), so what you're saying might not be a bad thing at all

 

America is the Death Star. Of course we can relate to Star Wars more than a school of magical kids.

Getting ready for my 2nd viewing.

 

I'm shooting for maybe Wednesday evening in RPX. I figure that is the least crowded day of the week so hopefully I can avoid all the cell phone idiots from yesterday's experience.

Well then the Earth itself as a market must have some weird tastes as well because that movie is the 3rd highest grosser ever.

Who cares how much he makes? I always find this argument amusing. Not like by being on his "side" you benefit from it at all.

Yeah, but the world has Avatar and Titanic as gold and silver, so thank god for that!

So in other words, you shill for an actual movie studio and think they can do no wrong even though you'll never see a cent from them as they gladly gobble up yours and everyone else's money. Lovely.

I don't care if anybody cares, it just put things in perspective, it shows the difference between winners and losers.

If DCEU fails it's a silly assumption that WB will wipe the slate clean and add our favorite directors and actors.

 

They just might shelve all DC projects until 2030.

 

 

It won't fail and it won't get shelved. Hence why I can't see Snyder as anything but the sacrificial lamb. Pretty anedoctal evidence, but here you go:

 

 

 

This dude claims to be a toy designer on his Twitter bio. How bad is it is too soon to call. And can we stop with the troll accusations? Can we discuss the effects of this like adults? 

[Dementeleus]

Whichever franchise you root for, 6+ billion people don't care and/or don't give a shit about it.
