He could, but if he doesn't have to, why bother? Might as well blow off money that someone else is giving to you... 46 minutes ago, cubsfan said: Yeah, he self financed The Visit also. Basically said he wanted complete control of his movies now. He'll probably do the same for his next and so on. It's paid off big time for him. Kudos Very smart move. He'll have financial and critical success that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when it's the studio's money it's flop city. Well the reason why he's self financing his movies is to avoid the studio and their control. So now he's past two movies have been good and profitable when he has complete control. Go figure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, maybe the director's cut of Last Airbender and After Earth are blockbuster masterpieces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mockingjay Raphael Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 7 hours ago, Jayhawk said: The very end was so unnecessary. But the movie was stupidly enjoyable. Then again, I thought the concept was very dumb from the trailer. McAvoy and Taylor-Joy were both very good. And it was well directed. I'm loving to see Taylor-Joy becoming a big thing, such a great actress, her performance in The Witch was one of my fave of 2016, she also was the best part in Morgan.

I had fun with The Great Wall, it s a decent time at the movies. The Great Wall looks so epic as a God Bay movie, I'm pretty sure that I'm going to love it so much as you!

DAR Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 The Village, Lady in the Water and After Earth were just boring. The Happening was unintentionally hilarious. But the Last Airbender is a completely unwatchable movie. It hits unfathomable levels of bad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
