It's too much of a bubble. Causes ppl to lose perspective.

No.

 

Coulda fooled me. I mean, there's only 40 people and ten cars in the whole town...

[Jack Nevada]

And not even the cool kind of nerdiness. I'm talking that classic, original nerd shit where you just sit around obsessing over stuff that doesn't even matter.

So, according to my math, it'll fall between $183m-$192m. A huge success, but a major disappointment for one particular fan...

[The Futurist]

Wake me up when the Raid movies have good acting, good writing and good drama in them.

If the Winter Soldier car chase is "cute" then what do you call most other, modern action scenes?

"adorable" probably.

[theultimatebiu]

So everyone got swept by the hype and assumed $200m+ weekend? I think this number is great.

 

I think we have hit the peak of Marvel's audience retention.  It will probably last a few more years and then we will have a slump.

Yup, bad rain here as well in OC. Off to the airport to catch a flight currently. Hopefully the flights are not delayed.

 

I know two of my friends who were planning on going to see CW tonight, will now try and see what Saturday is like instead.

 

But I think it'll still be raining here on Saturday too.

I mean, that car chase in Raid 2 is unfairly amazing.  For reals.

[DAJK]

Then again, anything under 248 would have been disappointing for him

The Raid is exactly the kind of movie that internet man children fawn over. Kind of like those who love Fight Club for shallow reasons.

Rth gonna use those confusing as fuck comics covers again, just to have fun and mess with us. 

 

I want that. I look forward to it.

I wouldn't mind this one. 

[Flyingcow29]

Theater was mostly empty while getting concessions and stuff...so I was in no hurry seeing as how we were 40 minutes early. Went into take seat with 30 minutes left. Place is nearly filled. Deceiving.

I am not sure it could have been shot with American's stuntmen in its Raid 2 form at least.

 

That scene was really borderline for a lot of people ... way too dangerous.

Actually it's better to enjoy Fight Club for "shallow reasons". I've seen dudes who look at that silly movie like it's their Bible and it's very creepy.
