ugh I wish I could take those. I have 99% in History (94% across all my classes) but I don't have any opportunity for extra credit

 

There were positives and negatives.

 

The positive of the 10 point boost was that you could get a GPA over a 100, which made it practically impossible for somebody who didn't take the classes to rank higher than you (unless you didn't make A's).

 

The negatives were if you wanted to compete for rank, you had to take as many of them as you could, and not every class had an AP version.  So if you wanted to be in say Choir, Theater, Band, Sports, or other electives it hurt your GPA (with the exception of Art that had multiple AP courses for some reason).

Skip the bad films and see The Littlle Prince.  It's on Netflix

I enjoyed little prince I guess. Thought it was okay but overrated.

That's true Town & Country was a big budget misfire that had a budget in 2001 dollars($90 million) and was WB's second big budget bomb in one weekend (the same weekend as the Stallone racing misfire Driven). But Rules Don't Apply's word of mouth so far isn't very good, so Beatty hasn't a "good" movie since Bullworth and before that was maybe Reds(Love Affair was mixed, and Bugsy/Dick Tracy weren't too bad but not like Reds).

 

 

Bugsy was decent, but yeah I mostly agree.

Avatar 2 dated?

[Fancyarcher]

Animated movies I've seen this year rank.

 

Zootopia

Finding Dory

Kung Fu Panda 3

The Secret Life of Pets

 

I'll be seeing Moana next week hopefully, and I still need to see Kubo and The Two Strings.

Go Moana! I hope it breaks out big time

[MovieMan89]

Good for Moana, hoping it can get even closer to Frozen's OD. 

[UrosepsisFace]

Just saw Moana. Visually STUNNING! I was very impressed. I watched it in Hawaii on a quiet afternoon. The theater was packed with what seemed like bus-loads of kids from a school excursion. 

 

Btw loved the homage to the Academy Award winning movie from last year...

 

Spoiler

Anybody else get the Mad Max vibe during the coconut pirate attack?

 

[grey ghost]

I let Good Dinosaur lower my expectations for Moana.

Btw, I still feel as if Zootopia > Moana >>>>>>> Finding Dory.

After seeing it I think there was no way Moana could've underperformed, imo. But we couldn't have known that for sure.

This year is the most active I've ever been on this site.  Every time Disney releases a new animated feature I spew away and disappear for several months until the next animated feature hits...  Which has been quite a lot and of course other studios' releases had me hyped and pumped up!  

 

- January: Kung-Fu Panda 3 was great!  I grew up with the franchise and can't believe it's been over 8 years since the first one

- March: Zootopia... stunning and my favorite movie of the year 

- June/July: Finding Dory and Secret Life of Pets were amazing in their own ways

- August: Kubo and the Two Strings was enchanting and dazzling

- November: Moana... UGH!  Between Zootopia and this... I can't even choose 

- December: SING!  I'm so scared yet hyped for this one!  The trailers have been great in my opinion and hopefully Illumination hits it out of the ballpark! 

 

Hopefully Moana brings in the big bucks and crosses the $300 million threshold!  <3

I expect Mulan will move to May 2019 and for Blade Runner 2049 to move up a week to September 29th. I wouldn't be surprised if Sony moves the animated Spider-Man film up a week to avoid Avatar 2.

Hey, I'm sure you're not the only member who did that. A lot of members were fairly skeptical about Moana breaking out.

I honestly think 2016 could stand the test of time as the greatest year in animated feature film history.

Lots of chatter of wanting to see it again. You can really appreciate portions of the movie that capture the essence of what it feels like in Hawaii, like the feeling of cool fresh water from a waterfall or sea-salt in the air as you stand on a boat above clear waters. The Rock nails Hawaiian cheers of joy, and that's to be expected considering he was originally from here. Btw, expect the Japanese to LOVE this movie. They've always had close ties to Hawaii, and my theater had quite a few tourists.
