MovieMan89 is taking a lot of heat from everyone in this thread, I'll share the load.

• Rooge One wasn't good, the non-locust generation of films have been garbage.
• TFA was uncreative and shat on Locust's spirit, homage gone too far
• TFA had 0 good moments, not one.
• You lot were salty when Jim "broke the tradition" of sending a letter to the highest DOM film. Which was completely idiotic as Jim is Locusts friend and Disney sucked the soul out of his franchise.
• JJ is a serviceable director with technical proficiency, his script choices are poor and he simply doesn't have that something special.
• You all thought TFA was going to gross more WW than Avatar after TFA's first couple weeks, LOL! Didn't even beat Titanic.
• Gareth Edwards is mediocre, Godzilla was bad.
• Rey is a mary sue despite your ridiculous BOT theorems

Hopefully something for everyone.

 

Ah yes, a textbook case of delusion.

I'm confused, is 550m domestic (adjusted) now the new barrier to be "AN EVENT"?

 

So, in other words, these movies were never events:

Batman (1989)

All 3 LOTR movies

Finding Nemo

Towering Inferno

Passion of the Christ

Superman

Close Encounters of the Third Kind

Lawrence of Arabia

Rocky

The Poseidon Adventure

Terminator 2

 

...to name but a few.

Too bad he's likely too stupid to know they will be great.

The US election was an event. 100+ pages on election night and 1400 pages of madness

 

MovieMan89 - "But are we comparing that to threads that were adjusted for inflation?"

you mean to tell me that one guy rolling in and pulling his own brand new definition for the term "event film" out of his ass and expecting everyone to agree w/ it hasn't persuaded you?

[Lordmandeep]

SW 7 not an event it did not beat Dr. Zhivago adjusted

He's got no guts. EmpireCity et al have to go find them.

I'm fine with Rey right now. (I also have a free account at the moment).

 

Plus, why you trying to age my hip and young 22 year old self.

 

Plus, those names are totally not indicative of me...
