What we need is more original sci-fi films like Gravity.  Gravity was a FANTASTIC sci-fi movie.  Blew other sci-fi movies out of the water.  It's how to make good, solid sci-fi.

 

Gravity, the sci-fi hit of the millennium. No other sci-fi like it.

You're not you when you're angry

 

Have a Snickers bar

 

Thank you, thank you...

 

Now, I demand I get some negative story on BATB or a positive one on Valerian

It was close to his Oscar win if memory serves.

 

Yes right at the exact time.

Vslerian is the closest thing to a guaranteed bomb I've ever seen

In recent memory, I'd say Ben-hur is.

If JA could get to 47M, Valerian has a more than decent shot at it. Even if Valerian makes that much it's still a mega-bomb. Change the club. Achieve victory.

I just don't see it. 

 

1) Besson has a bad history of getting over 30m.

 

2) No stars.

 

3) No appeal. No hype.

 

4) Weird movie

Don't think anyone gives a shit about Ninjago. That one's just gonna come and go but Valerian is gonna be a tasty mega bomb.

Mila Kunis, the toilet cleaner turned Bee Queen who owns Planet Earth and make out with a human dog ?

 

You can't make up that stuff.

 

I still can't get over that they modeled Tatum's character on Toto from the The Wizard of Oz.

I remember hearing the announcement like 4-5 years ago... I knew it wouldn't live up to the original

Valerian doesn't have fat Channing T dressed up like a dog. 

[The Futurist]

The Great Wall, Geostorm, Valerian, GITS and Dunkirk are the only "original" (I know, I know) tentpoles released in 2017.

Or at least, brands very little known by GA : Valerian and Ghost (debatable)

Why did you have to remind me that the Ben-Hur remake was a thing

This has helped me immensely.  Thanks.

Never knew that Toto was Dorothy's love interest before JA

Wait, Valerian is ACTUALLY a movie?  I thought it was just what a person on Valium is called.....huh.   You learn something new every day!!!  ?

Morgan Freeman's hair was probably the best thing in the movie

 

 

Looks like Bob Marley.

How did ThatOneGuy go from bargaining back to anger, he did a reverse step.

Toby Kebbell takes so many L's that his movies deserve at least an occasional mention
