Whoever decided it was a good idea to release two Galifianakis movies within weeks of each other should be fired. The last Hangover movie was almost 4 years ago, and hes never been a huge comedy star.

It was a joke the whole time wtf, the Lionsgate hater just became a thing because I said in frikking February that all their movies underperformer and for some weird ass reason now I hate them. Do you realize there are other things in the title too? Those are all serious too?

 

No, you are not. You got all serious in your first post commenting the title. You attack me (and all the mod team) in that same post. You want law and order and nothing else? Vote for Trump.

Silly.

Worse, the first was on the shelf for about 2 years and then the second was moved from a rather empty Spring release date to a crowded Oct date - just two weeks after the first.

@CJohn Here, to calm your soul, stare at my profile pic for a while

What critic would dare give a bad review to a movie about a black gay guy?

 

That's the Academy Award winner.  Moonlight is a 100% lock.

 

Nobody is out PC'ing that.

Make him trans. Out PC'd it

No prayer needed if a studio can make a big budget bomb starring my man Hems you best believe they will

Pretty meh for all three sequels, but none of them looked like big breakouts in the making.

 

That being said, there's something hilariously prophetic about Chris Rock's Top Five, in which a movie called Boo! A Madea Halloween was pulling in good business while a controversial film about a slave uprising bombs.

Birth of a Nation won't even make back Fox Searchlight's $17.5M acquisition price for it at Sundance. A very rough lesson in how there really is such a thing as bad publicity in the entertainment industry.

We are talking about Paramount here. As someone on HSX pointed out yesterday, they haven't even updated their Facebook or Press Releases page since June 2015

I think the Trek franchise will take a small break for some time. Most likely till the next decade, quite likely won't see a new movie till 2020 or so.

Can't wait until La La Land makes serious bank and proves CFail wrong about the Lionsgate curse.

Shh, don't remind him. I've been doing Leslie Jones' work by slapping the ghost out of him long enough.

The franchise isn't going away since CBS has Star Trek Discovery coming next year so fans will have their Trek fill even if no films come out for another few more years.

Boss came up to me today and randomly asked, "Isn't Tom Cruise getting too old for the action hero crap?" Being a wimp, I mumbled a half-hearted agreement while knowing inside my boss is a fucking dunce.

No fudge to 160? Shame on you Paramount.

 

Hell just a regular dollar theater expansion would have gotten it there. Paramount like WB dgaf this year.

So my theater isn't showing Boo this weekend leading to so many phone calls that they had to explain on Facebook that our theater wasn't in the top grossing locations leading to many upset people. They plan on getting it next week though.

They made it worse considering they had the poster up for the past couple months. They weren't going to get it all until they had all the complaints.

Doing a bit of catchup this weekend.

 

Ghostbusters yesterday, Free State of Jones today, then Jack Reacher/Accountant tomorrow and Sunday
