In one of David Niven's wonderful Bring on the Empty Horses there was a fantastic story - and Christmas one at that - about Zsa Zsa an George Sanders. 

 

 

Pure class!

lmao her In Memoriam clip better be her cameo as herself in The Naked Gun 2.

 

"I want a man who is kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?" :rofl:

AUDIENCE SCORE 

 
90%

 

Can't say I care about the RT score anymore.  The Auidence Score is staying steady at 90% with 8.6/10.  Well over 10000 votes this weekend

 

Say it's only fanboys and fangirls voting, that's fine.  Point is, the people who have seen it AND are voting on Flixter are giving it positive WOM.

Just got back from a 4 p.m. West Coast show a bit ago. Some funny stuff from this screening. First, was lucky to find a spare open seat as the entire upper section (the good half) of the theater was full spare 3 seats. I nabbed a pretty solid single one. By the time the movie started it looked just like my 1 p.m. Friday showing, pretty much full except some garbage front row seats. This was in IMAX 3D at $18.50 a ticket so I'm sure the theater was happy. Of course, as expected, nobody knew how to ring up my Ultimate Ticket (this is the first time I used it, I pre-bought my first two tickets for Thursday and Friday). They finally called a manager and he did it, because of course someone has to know, but the lady said she's been working there for 18 months and has yet to see one ever. Figures. I mean with only 1,000 nationwide, that's not too many for any given movie and they only do it a few times a year.

 

Before the movie, they had the Transformers trailer as usual. Someone yelled, "BORING!!!" and he got a handful of people applauding while everyone else laughed. Yeaaahhh... not a good sign. 

 

When I left the movie, besides the usual applause, I was walking to my car and there was a family in front of me who had just seen it. Kids maybe 7 and 9? Looked about that age. The younger one said, "Spoiler spoiler spoiler it was good but spoiler spoiler spoiler," and you can figure out the spoilers yourself. The basic point: He was bummed it was such a dark movie. The family kept talking about it, agreeing it had to be dark, but the son still wished it could have been less dark. I'm not surprised by that reaction among kids. It sounded like they enjoyed the film, at least. The way this kid put what he was saying cracked me up, though, definitely something I said to my GF after I saw it too. In my case, not in a bad way.

 

Weather was clear today in Portland, very cold, but clear. No warm up quite yet. Yesterday I didn't see the movie because of icy roads and snow flurries, small though they were. Today it was just cold, low 30s, but they are saying it'll warm up tonight and this week... except possible overnight snow a few nights, but day time highs seem well high enough to keep the weather at bay. The roads were fine today, all main roads anyway. Taking one back road, my Camaro slipped even going only 22 and it slid a bit to the side, but no big deal, that has happened every time I've driven the last 4 days. Just one little slip. I don't think it's keeping many people home, frankly.

 

I have nothing at all to compare to from yesterday unfortunately, which is a bummer, but the theater was much busier today than it was Thursday night for previews or Friday afternoon. That doesn't surprise me, though, it's a weekend. I would expect that. Some people were probably seeing other movies, too, whereas Thursday night everyone was kind of going to the same thing.

 

Too dark? So glad I grew up on the east coast.

So it's an event among R rated films? Yeah, I'd agree. Not what was said though. 

 

No, it was an event, period.   But being R rated cut its raw box office potential.  

 

I know you know that an R rated film, even today, can't get the same box office as a PG-13 film.

 

If you weren't around back then, I don't know what to tell you.  It was an event.  It had jaw dropping, industry revolutionizing effects.  It was the subject of massive media attention. It was talked about all across the country.

 

But it was also rated R.  And back then that mattered a lot more than it does today (and we both know it still matters).
